I liked the Human Centipede, but I wish they'd gotten around to making the other films in the series, like the Human Asteroids and the Human Dig-Dug

From @acyn.bsky.social (posted on X) "Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal? Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail… Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you. Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."

Deep thought: We keep hearing about how AI destroys peoples' brains and ability to reason. So who uses AI more than anyone else? The people making it. At the very least, they test it for hours a day. So we can surmise that the decisions around AI dev/deployment are the dumbest possible decisions.

#3157 A helpful tutorial

There can never be enough said about what an awful thing GenAI is.

Any suggestions for technology to assist in producing board game documents? I'm thinking of something to assist in repeating the same block layouts over and over with varying content, or a table of commonly used icons I can plop in as if they were text characters. Somewhere between Word and Canva.

You know what the world needs? A souls-like (mixed with about 30% Devil May Cry) where you're Wonder Woman. Lots of shield parrying, a limited-use lasso to lock guys down, bullet reflecting bracelets, hurling environmental objects and your opponents. Why is it always Batman when she's right there?

I've invented tteokbroccoli!

"If you accidentally used the AI website builder and wish to start over without AI, Wix does not offer a direct "turn off" option for the AI design feature once initiated." - the plot of Terminator

I get unreasonably happy each time I defeat AI in a program I use. And it feels like a battle to win. There's always an upfront option like "Disable Generative AI", but it turns out there's 7 other steps, most hidden. Well, for Adobe Acrobat, just go Menu > Disable New Acrobat Reader. Enjoy!

Chrome perma-blocked uBlock Origins ad blocker, which would make youtube unusable (AKA 'functioning as intended'). So I gave Brave a try and now I feel dumb for waiting so long. Wow, every ad everywhere is gone! Seems like something the Megacorps won't continue to allow, but I'll enjoy it for now.

I got this email (of course), and was absolutely gobsmacked to see the social security administration sending out literal propaganda. This is yet another massive red line crossed and it's all downhill from here.

They've been plenty weird before, but the flavor department at Oreo has seriously crossed a line this time.

I am disappointed Nioh 3 wasn't called Nioh 3-O

Just because I didn't know it existed (I'm probably the dumb one here, but surely there are others): I just learned fonts.google.com exists. Thousands of fonts, licensed for all uses for free, in a very searchable database. Like wow, I guess google did something good?

Dr. Lunatic Supreme With Steam is a re-re-release of a game that's been kicking around since 2000-ish. It's a phenomenal game, thousands of user-made levels, goofy and full of Early Developer Energy. ( @hamumugames.bsky.social is still making cool stuff!) store.steampowered.com/app/2547330/...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the Japanese Black Thunder cookies that Costco has right now are magnifique. Get thee to Costco before I eat them all! They're like an enchanted Twix.

It's been awhile for a stream, hasn't it? No Doom today, but a game from my childhood originally released in 1999 by @hamumugames.bsky.social just went up on steam, and I've been really excited to play it. Come vibe and watch me be nostalgic! www.twitch.tv/kevansevans #vtuber #gardevoir

Happy Cinco De Mystic to all who celebrate! Buy Kid Mystic now! store.steampowered.com/app/3531250/...

There are absolutely not enough people talking about the movie "Drop". We went to see it entirely because we had to know why the woman falls out of the restaurant in the trailer. The answer we got was as insane and nonsensical as the rest of the movie. We laughed so hard, so many times.

My latest re-rerelease is up on Steam! Coming out soon, wishlist it today so I feel good about myself! store.steampowered.com/app/3531250/... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa2l...

Mind blown. I only just now learned that the fireballs in Street Fighter have the thrower's hands inside them! Or used to before they got fancier and modern.

Suggestion for phone makers: show the local time of the person you're talking to (based on the contact address, not like tracking their phone!) somewhere in the text/call system, so you know if this is an appropriate time to contact them!

I'm trying to renew my passport (as we all should at this point!), and it turns out that the bags under my eyes are so bad that their automated system won't accept my photo because it thinks I'm wearing glasses.

I was just hearing about the Chinese AI that is going to run the world, and someone mentioned that it's trained on copyrighted stuff, and we can't sue because it's China. I thought, "true, China doesn't care about copyright"... then I thought, why do we? China clearly has all the same art industries

Because sometimes knowledge i find on social media appears in my brain when I need it, here's knowledge you might need one day: vegetable oil rapidly breaks down the glue in a glue trap. Very handy for saving, for example, a ring-tailed cat stuck to a glue trap you didn't know was in your attic.

A handy selection of guides to all the things you might run into in the wild here in Texas. Some might be a bit outdated.

Man Dies After Secret 4-Year Battle With Gorilla theonion.com/man-die...

The ghosts of winter come calling, mercurial and pale. They wicker and writhe in howling winds, bound by fractured shale. Midst leaden clouds, see ERCOT grin, its grasping claws extended. Demanding tithes of blood or gold, lest ye join them as portended.

This is the best description of #Equality, #Diversity, #Equity, #Acceptance, and #belonging that I've come across Diversity makes humanity beautiful & human rights should be automatic, not something you must fight for or fear risk losing #Humanity #Society

Just read the response from Costco to shareholders requesting it back down from DEI. It was glorious. It begins "Our Board has considered this proposal and believes … an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." and gets better. A happy investor #diversityandinclusion

The modern equivalent of the commercials where Sally Struthers weeps in front of a village of starving children is that ad where people sit alone in their room having a conversation with Gemini about their personal problems. Saddest thing on TV.

There is absolutely no doubt that Elon Musk is a Nazi and an anti-semite -- and he is the President-elect of the United States. This is beyond concerning. I beg you to re-post this so that every single American is aware of the fact that Musk is a Nazi and that his colleagues are, too.

Truth, right here…👇 Any Questions?!

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

A spoon is just an inedible chip.
