"2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968) has the most dramatic, most famous match cut in the history of cinema. remastered in HD: youtu.be/SsE6WgxG0aE?...

Burning down the rainforest, not even to be happy, but to sit there and watch a computer program pretending to be me pretending to be happy. Yeah, that's, uh, one of the more bleak things I've ever heard of.

Jesus Christ, this is more dystopic than anything Philip K Dick ever wrote but it’s what the Russo Brothers want for your AI Slop future

I am informed that it is wrong to complain about a very stupid and dishonest indictment of Comey because Comey is bad. As I understand it we should only be concerned about abuse of state power against people we like. I am on a journey of LEARNING

i had a really nice holiday for two weeks and now ive gotta come back to this bullshit

What the fuck did I watch that convinced YouTube that every third video on my algorithm should be an old Conan vid?

Remarkably better than their standard one

I'm honestly all for taking money back from these AI slop companies. As long as Blender's core codebase isn't affected (using Claude for dev, or insertion of GenAI tools)

Listen, yes, gross - but if the deal is Anthropic funds Blender -which is a free, open-source commercial-grade toolset available globally- in exchange for what's effectively Python API improvements that benefit everyone, then sure whatever. Let them spend on something useful for once.

It really does sound like the mentalist was up there guessing baby names and then opened fire

This is the taxonomy I'm using to categorize everything from here on out:

I've been having such a bad time recently and listening to this thread of AI voice generators melting down and turning into increasingly terrifying melodies of screaming machines and liquid slush has filled me with joy. I'm crying.

There are plenty of days where I don't have the throughput to handle Hank Green's energy in videos.

Happy birthday, Dad. Wish you were here. You’d know what to do. Or at least you’d know what to write. ❤️

I don’t think the White House Correspondents Association Dinner is a ritual that defines democracy

@cinnatoasty.bsky.social just compared Maude Lebowski to Grimes and I lost my mind

me: I am being cancelled on Bluesky due to a party I attended my doctor: no I meant do you have any MEDICAL problems you'd like to talk about

I’m at the combination Comedy Central Roast of Adolf Hitler / Reichstag Fire

I’m going to wait to post until one of their books comes out and tells what actually happened tonight.

this account is run by a human at NASA JPL who only posts real images with their receipts. it only has 11k followers compared to the 200k the ai slop space account has

The FCC is looking to take control of the voluntary TV ratings system to banish transgender and non-binary subject matter, hijack the TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board, and go on a censorship spree in the name of “protecting children.” docs.fcc.gov/public/attac...

Well, isn’t this a sight for sore eyes! 😍 Our beloved Hubble appears in this amazing image from one of Vantor's WorldView Legion satellites. It was 36 years ago today that Hubble was launched in the bay of the Space Shuttle Discovery from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. Credit: Vantor.

@bookshop.org delivery thanks to the recc from @annleckie.com and @kameronhurley.com This is becoming my favorite way to learn about and acquire new books. Wandering around a dusty shop and guessing based on vibes is nice, but this is so much more efficient.

Transphobia is always gender policing and the gender policing never stops with trans people

I didn't even notice there was more than one image on this post when scrolling on PC, and then when I came across it the second time, it just looked broken. This carousel is so bad.

This is how frustrating the carousel on mobile is. I need coffee.

see this is art

there were only two cultures going on during the 2000s and that's "Emo" and "9/11." Myspace? Emo. Anime? Emo. Halo? 9/11. Reality TV? 9/11. The PS2 top sellers list was a perfect split between Emo and 9/11.

She's a 10, but she has eight legs/eyes and lives under your couch.

I flagged this the other day but I'm glad there's science communicators with followers letting people know

Some people are just a soup fork, I swear.

good thing nobody online ever wants to create a humorous juxtaposition of two images!

this is the stupidest way imaginable for a social media website to handle multiple images way to fuck up memes, devs! Brilliant move!

Hey yall, let’s get Rasheed’s game Dreams on a Pillow out there. This game is important. His voice is being suppressed on Bluesky and we need to step up and share, at the least. launchgood.com/1948

It would be pretty cool if people wishlisted this

Palestinian game dev @rasheedabueideh.bsky.com is announcing the promised second crowdfunding campaign for his beautiful Dreams on a Pillow - but @safety.bsky.app has decided you can't know about it and marked his entire account as spam. Another obstacle in him just telling his story via games.

Bluesky is determined to suppress Palestinian voices at every turn. This is NOT spam. Please support them if you can.
