Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

[Exit Murderer.]

Welp, the shootout in Cuba was ten Florida Cuban guys who talked themselves into trying to invade Cuba www.wfla.com/news/florida...

I've been channeling my inner Charlie Day because I keep seeing massive sized drones on my commute and recently also a military convoy of some sort. Every time I see those fuck off giant drones though I feel like I need to start folding a tin hat.

The X-Files reboot is getting a pilot and I am going to say what I have always said... (to absolutely nobody because who cares what I say LOL) Keep it a monster of the week show

I grew up Catholic, and never in a lifetime of Ash Wednesdays did I ever see anyone with this level of performative marking. Looks like he drew it on himself with a Sharpie.

Have things been shit lately? Yes. Did I still manage to win a dozen of THE BEST DONUTS? You bet your ass! For those in the know these are the sister donuts of Peachy's donuts. The ones commonly found at fairs on the east coast.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL YOU CAN GET EVERY DISCWORLD TOME ON EBOOK FOR LESS THAN THE COST OF A SUBWAY FOOTLONG COMBO. USUALLY GETTING EVERY SINGLE BOOK LEGALLY IS LIKE 400+ NOT. A. DRILL. www.humblebundle.com/books/terry-...

It's the truth. You gotta shame the botlickers!

We're horseposting post your horses. *whinnying noises*

Historian of medicine here. Yes. Yes, they did.

Football just doesn't give you this kind of response.

Honestly either Dunkirk or The Mist. The Mist for obvious reasons if you saw it. Dunkirk simply because I sat through over 2 hours of a panic attack. The scolding my friend got for picking that movie from all of us will live on.

It's thundering outside. We're in a drought and it's thundering outside and I'm very torn between absolute joy and " oh shit wildfires"

sorry Pink Floyd, turns out that we needed education. a lot of it. all of the education, really

Some of us didn't hop online in the 90s or the 2000s to get rich and famous, man. Some of us hopped online in the 90s and 2000s 'cause it was FUN to chat with people all over the world... for free! Baby, we grew up when it cost a zillion dollars to call long distance! We had pen pals at school!

"Colonial Actions have Indigenous Consequences" Poster in Sydney memorializing the death of British Navy officer, Captain James Cook at the hands of Hawaiian warriors on 14 February 1779.

I guess 40 is the cutoff from when I know what the kids are saying.

Happy Death of James Cook day to those who celebrate. On 14 February 1779 British explorer Captain James Cook was killed as he attempted to kidnap Kalaniʻōpuʻu, the ruling chief (aliʻi nui) of the island of Hawaii, and hold him hostage for the return of a cutter which Hawaiians had stolen.

I regret to inform you that I have gone further down the terrible rabbit hole that is Elsie the Cow. If you squint at enough eBay listings trying to read the words, you find a saga of a marriage gone mad.

Watching Everything is Illuminated and @lizthrilla.bsky.social says "how much of the city still looks like this" and now I'm depressed before we even get to the depressing parts.

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

I've suffered more pressure to eat baconed things than vegan items

A friend asked me to check on his dogs and god I love how dramatic pups can be when they want attention.

Watching the "Genghis Khan" video for anxiety relief upon waking

FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.

*way too loud and slow like it's going to help* DO. ANY. OF YOU. SPEAK. LIVEJOURNALISH.

Rewatched Titanic for the first time since my teens and I gotta say it's misogyny that we blame Rose for Jack's death. He tried to get on the door it tipped. He insisted she get on alone. His own frantic attempt scared him off trying again. In this essay I will...

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

Shitty Nostradamus, reporting for duty You guys are either gonna hate it or love it when my oracle card set drops in 2027

Why are rich people so boring. You have so much money and you can't spend it on anything ostentatious? Nothing opulent? Even their yachts look sterile. You can fund art and instead choose minimalism. Ugh.

“Deportations and ethnic cleansing gets you affordable housing” is just Nazi shit all the way down.

I keep noticing that like 3/4 movies from the early aughts posted on the @worstmovies.bsky.social account are about men chasing sexy teenagers.

Ducks Unlimited sends a promotional sticker of a…mandarin duck? DU’s work has benefited a lot of waterfowl species but the mandarin duck (an Asiatic duck often kept in aviaries) isn’t one of them. Conservation communications should be done by real people, with real natural history knowledge.

And you have no respite at work, where your co-workers are Larry and Balki.

*fully restores your HP as you scroll past*

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

You guys 😆 I'm over here yelling ARTAAAAX

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

I would also uh love for the shooters to be arrested and prosecuted fwiw

Bovino’s retirement needs to be a cage. His command environment yielded Renee Good’s death, Alex Pretti’s death & Julio Sosa-Celis’ shooting. Failure to prosecute Bovino & everyone else materially responsible for these atrocities will be understood by ICE, CBP, etc as a green light for the next ones

I feel like this is a continuation of what I keep saying about preppers being extremely bad at prepping, because if MAGA chuds think such basic small scale mutual aid is professional-grade logistics, they clearly have no idea how to do anything more complex than driving to 7/11 for snacks.

This Pirkei Avot quote helps me feel a little less like I have to solve everything (it’s literally been thousands of years of people feeling overwhelmed!) and it cracked me up when someone stuck it on the pics of the tiny backhoe trying to dig out the EverGiven ship when it got stuck.

Remember the Bundy insanity during the Obama years? Armed guys occupied a federal office and one of their buddies took position with a sniper rifle aimed at federal agents? Exactly how many of those guys were shot and killed?

the moment the second person comes into the frame to stand with his neighbor is so incredibly beautiful

Oh, she’s got one for that too.
