Reading R.F. Kuang's new book but repeatedly shaking my head at a Getty Image of Netanyahu to show that I do not agree

May the Fourth used to be a pagan festival celebrating the Earth, until Constantine watched The Empire Strikes Back and said it’s about the Force now.

"Bided" doesn't feel like a real word, it seems like it should be "bode". ("He bode his time")

Accidentally said "rotisserie phone" instead of rotary but I think with the right investors this could take off

Men be like "wow, I talk to this object just like I talk to human women" and conclude the object must therefore be human, and not that they treat women like objects

good tweet

Are you mistaking a WWII phase for a "Nazi" phase?? Because most American men have not had a Nazi phase

The Longest Johns have a song called "Fire & Flame" about the 1917 Halifax explosion, and one of the verses goes like this: 1/4

Once again thinking about how Dolley Madison fled so quickly that she left behind a giant meal for the British to eat and she didn't even once consider poisoning it first??

I mean, Charles is a direct descendant of Alfred the Great so it's not *wrong*

I used to be good at Computer. Now Computer thinks it is good at me. But it actually isn’t??????

The difference between Napoleon and Bovino is that only one of them was actually short

The Onion 🤝 My mom's call yesterday that my grandpa is in hospice care

This came back around on reddit so here's how you rig it immorally for blue: you make the kids vote first and make them vote blue. A lot of parents who were otherwise on the fence (because red is technically the logical choice if 100% vote red) follow suit. I call it the reverse Jonestown.

Kirsten, the haunted doll that came with our house. While finishing our walkthrough I heard my husband yelp. I ran to the room that's now my daughter's where he was standing to find him staring into the closet, where a doll was left at eye level. We blame her for all home calamities.

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, DC, Marvel, Disney, Pixar, Spielberg, Cameron, Wachowskis, or Ghibli.

Over the last 30 days, my AT&T app to handle spam calls analyzed 274 incoming calls and blocked 232 of them. And even then, I get at least one to three robocalls that slip through every single day. 😤

I'm pretty damn anti-AI but I realized while reading instagram arguments that if someone says they're not going to cite sources/"it's not my job to teach you," etc then the correct response is to say that I can just use chatGPT to explain it to me instead! ☺️ (It's a lie, I wouldn't but still)

Forbes is gamifying news about the horrific mass shooting in Shreveport, LA this weekend, encouraging readers to bet on the likelihood of gun regulation with fake money via its "ForbesPredict" feature. Eight children were murdered in the shooting. futurism.com/future-socie...

"In retrospect, Sandy Hook marked the end of the US gun control debate. Once America decided killing children was bearable, it was over" - Dan Hodges

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

The head of the FBI isn't supposed to be getting blackout drunk. He's supposed to be cross-dressing

I still remember the first time I turned the corner at the museum and saw this skeleton. I almost cried!

Just got a text from Chase fraud division about whether a purchase at Taco Bell was really us and I'm beginning to think this bank doesn't know us at all because of COURSE it's real

A Petticoat affair

Sometimes when playing with our kids my husband will kick it up a notch and say that the floor is SUN, as if lava was somehow survivable and needed to be further intensified.

“this is propaganda!” no, that’s american hero and icon spongebob squarepants saluting the flag

Hear me out: Chicago Pope PD.

<Simon & Garfunkel voice> Would you piss on me, old friend

If you're in line to piss on Rod Dreher, STAY IN LINE

Today is the anniversary of the day my friend got shot. It seemed like a good day to celebrate her strength and wisdom. www.amy-colleen.com/p/book-revie...

If we're using "marathon" as a length of time now then it needs to be at least 26.2 hours (no breaks) before it qualifies as a marathon session of anything

Yes, the Grink was there. I'm getting to that. He was on that island with me. And I wouldn't be alive to tell my story without him.

On the surface, Walsh is right. But what’s interesting is his reasoning when he notably also does not have a soul

Buying furniture from estate sales is so scary because what if it’s haunted?

My only issue with this article is that it suggests that the entire Reformed movement is Christian Nationalist as if the PC(USA) doesn't exist, or that there aren't other Reformed folk who rebuke this

I am finding joy anywhere it can be found these days and the idea that Integrity has returned to earth is just... I really like it

Meanwhile whenever I feel like I'm bringing shame on my father, I turn his box of ashes around so he can't see me

I can say that I have no conscious plans to kill anyone, but I can't discount that we might all get activated like sleeper agents when the mothership comes back

The use of “hallucinate” is a stroke of true evil genius in the AI world. In ANY other context we’d just call them errors & the fail rate would be crystal clear. Instead, “hallucinate” implies genuine sentience & the *absence* of real error. Aw, this software isn’t shit! Boo’s just dreaming!

A few months back, my kid was sent home sick from school. Once here, he proceeded to run wild before getting sick some more. I wrote this open letter over at @mcsweeneys.net for him. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/an-...
