taylor swift is the mr beast of music

Just watched ‘Battle of Algiers’ and really enjoyed it, then read about the cast and discovered that the actor who plays Djafar (Saadi Yacef), one of the leaders of the Algerian revolutionaries in the movie, was actually an Algerian revolutionary leader who fought in the actual battle

timeline is constantlyyyy full of angry people and im a sponge for negativity. i just want to grill so instead of shutting up im just going to drop this nuke and leave

It’s honestly a huge relief thad all the people in charge are huge gotten-to emotionally stunted morons. Having admins and moderators you respect as human beings is suboptimal for a flourishing forum ecosysten

Yeah it’s great. I post on a website where one of the sysops calls the police when she sees the part of Office Space where they beat up a printer

I accidentally glitched out an animation I was working on and created a perfect example of what the passage of time feels like to someone with ADHD

thinking about various depictions of what being super-intelligent in media, like Sherlock Holmes in Sherlock or Rick from Rick and Morty as being loud and insufferable and the damage that has done to the small number of people who instead interpreted that as cool or impressive behavior

All Big Two properties should revert to the people who created them (or, if the creator is dead, to the public domain) and we should use the bare skeletons of Marvel and DC executives as xylophones

CHUCK SCHUMER: "New data came out today from KFF - and that is not Kentucky Fried French Fries ... the Kaiser Family Foundation"

Straight talk: if you say anything insulting about a LLM, you’re a goddamn racist. I know this because I am very smart. #waffles

In all seriousness, the "LLMs are people and you're racist if you don't like them" shit is the natural endpoint of a consumerist society in which consuming and fandom are the only modes of identity-building many people understand. Finally, a product no one can tell you not to love.

It’s bigotry to hate those inflatable flappy arm guys from outside car dealerships

can’t pay attention to the world because i’m too busy drawing dog and cat

Ah so maybe the “depictions of fictional violence is the same as real violence” people and “ChatGPT should have personhood” people are maybe the same type of people

oh anton chiguhr is just reverse joker

I just assume every social media is owned and run by evil people. I just go where my friends are then log off.

American Horror Story: The Dang News

Did You Know: Vivec's hidden confession to stealing godhood and killing Nerevar in 36 Lessons of Vivec could technically be referring to Dagoth Ur or Sotha Sil instead? Definitely the most natural reading is for it to be referring to Vivec, however.

This is tantamount to the burning of the library of Alexandria

People would rather have you cook fettuccine Alfredo than buy it at Olive Garden, but let's look at the math: Olive Garden: Just buy it for 16.99 Cook it: Noodles $2 Cheese $6 Butter $3 Stovetop $599 Flight to Italy to Learn to cook it $1700

One must continue to observe #cutiesaturday even if it's during #ghostober (05/31)

don't know what this is about and don't really care about joy reid but, as always, this is funny coming from JD Vance, a DEI admit to Yale Law, who has had a wife, great wealth, a senate seat, and the vice presidency handed to him, and who spends all day bellowing with rage.

personally i would be pissed if jesus did that to me. i paid for those drugs

This is assault. This is fascism. This is evil.

Did you hear that the bad guy from the Power Puff Girls is starting a karate studio with that four-time Olympic medalist? It's the Mojo Jojo Flo-Jo Dojo.

Uh, anyways, regarding the staff on this site crashing out, I need people to learn a little secret about everyone in tech: They don't use any of the stuff they build for you. They don't play video games. Most of them don't do real work and their interviews are explicitly made to block out ppl
