Glad to see people talking about Penn Jillette. The 2024 interview was done by me. I found him to be a refreshingly reflective, self-critical individual who has remained curious and willing to evolve.

this has become a very important video to me

does anyone else ever just see someone who makes you want to go "i hate your eyebrows"

uh wtf....? hey old friend, haven't seen you in a while???

Okay y'all we killed the Metaverse now it's time to kill AI wearables. We got this.

We have an immediate need for an RPG proofreader. This is a paid gig, proofing just over 11,000 words. Experience is preferred. Please email [email protected] with your resume and rate. If you don't have a set rate that's fine - we can talk. Please feel free to share, tag and recommend.

She frowned and went: "No, you gotta complain more. Don't NOT do the work, but let them know that it's not easy. You've got the "Curse of Competence" and they're gonna work you to the bone and never compensate you for it if you don't pipe up now and again."

So I think it's twofold: Managers, you gotta be wary about the workloads you're giving your direct reports. Things need to get done, but you also need to manage up and say: "If you want this done, and in a timely way, I need more people." And you? You gotta complain about the work a little bit more

so THIS is what they meant by "hot singles in your area"

Why is it that, in a world where dictionaries are digitized and instantly accessible at our fingertips, I feel like we are less adherent to the meaning of words than ever? 🫠

Private equityyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I found a flowchart which helps you navigate the IT landscape

31 years ago this month, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated. I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

Remember, the big argument for AI in the arts is that these “artists” have ideas, hundreds of ideas, thousands, all that was stopping them was the hoards of gatekeeping musicians, writers, illustrators… and not that they were lazy and didn’t want to put in the work.

if elon musk had a butler he wouldn't be spending all day online posting about trying to get grok to make a girlfriend for him, he'd be laying on the ground with jarvis spooning him, cradling his head gently

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

hi @adhocstudio.com pls i need to know.... Is Flambae's name Chad because the French word for "hot" is CHAUD?????

Every part of this is art. The tearful American nationalism going all the way around the swingset and becoming camp performance art. The aerial silks. The children's choir. The dove. Even the outro of the YouTube video at the very end sends chills down my spine

Time to celebrate the REAL shit... the 24th anniversary of the immediately post-9/11 Creed Thanksgiving halftime show. THIS is what America is about youtu.be/prLQhRYh_Ls?...

I have never written a game in my life but if @adhocstudio.com ever wanted to take a wild swinging chance on someone, boy howdy do I have ideas for a Dispatch Season 2 and beyond plot...

I only just got into DAI last year but it's utterly changed my life for the better. I've met so many amazing people through Dragon Age, and it's unlocked such a passion for its lore and storytelling in me. Anyway here's my sweet boye Ziggy from my current run in his fresh new flower crown 🥹

Good news for anyone who was interested in purchasing my big honkin’ graphic-novel-length Yakuza fancomic but was running into the stripe processing issue with Itchio, it’s now included in this HUGE bundle of AMAZING books by SPECTACULAR artists and Itchio IS processing payments for it with stripe.

the sense of incredulity and comic revulsion i get every time i see a cybertruck in the wild has not been reduced by even a single degree in all the time they’ve been on the street

Living with those ridiculous trends was worth it for a wyvern.

that's right, fraud is when you take money for something you don't do

I refuse to unmute this but I'm sure it's even worse.

Ultimate @isatunoll.bsky.social fic prompt bait 👀

Tech brains broken part 1000000000 (this lady is a partner at Andreessen apparently)

look usually when you see a big jacked up truck with a huge ass flag flying off the back It's a bad sign.... But I just rolled past a guy flying a 5ft Palestinian flag off the back of his truck so FUCK YEAH HELL YEAH BROTHER

i love l*re

The use of Pregnant people, to describe people that are pregnant is analogous to the historical transition from 'firemen' to 'firefighters,' where no gender was omitted or erased.

As I hate hell, all Democrats, and thee

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

to the player with the display name "boycott divest" on MTG Arena pls know ily

uhhh clearly it's KINLOCH'S SIBLING???

Trump is refusing to use contingency funds to fund SNAP — even though his own administration’s guidance said he had the legal authority to do so. But he’ll find a way to bail out Argentina, conduct extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean, and build a vanity ballroom. Priorities.

CHOTINER: So you asked for a Birkin bag? KOKO: Yes. Possession Bag. CHOTINER: And you had the funds to acquire this? KOKO: No, Professor Purchase Koko Gorilla CHOTINER: That doesn't sound like the funds were justifiable. KOKO: Hostility Interviewer

eyyy @makesomenoiseshow.bsky.social can I get a point for "Wacky Waving Inflatable Arms Dealer Man" 🙏

Here’s part 2 of our four part Better Offline case against generative AI. I walk you through how NVIDIA funds debt-ridden “neoclouds” all to create vehicles to buy more GPUs - all to cover up the lack of demand for generative AI compute. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b... Linktr.ee/betteroffline

why did so many 90s sitcom stars turn out to be conservative jackholes?

how am i only just seeing this bc you are SO RIGHT

So I've been buying trader Joe's frozen meals for years because I'm a lazyass who has no patience for cooking, And I'm fucking pissed with this shrinkflation bullshit because I got the orange chicken bowl and these assholes have cut the size of the sauce packet included in half.

This is fucking horrifying.
