for me personally it's The Planning System

well, that does it. Lena Dunham's latest memoir rollout is clearly a psyop

no planets. just rocks

an agent just told me i have a "low 'this is stupid' reflex" and i am reminded that humans remain profoundly bad at volunteering valuable information

i still cannot figure out why (or even verify if! someday, perhaps) i am better at this "plain english programming" thing than the average bear. if i had to guess, it has something to do with me being among the best to ever do English, period, but nobody likes that guess *at all,* especially me.

there it is. in one post. THIS is why we can't have nice things on the internet! thanks Jimmy!

if you really do the math, john darnielle is essentially the pope leo of music

people pretending Slay the Spire I was good was fine. people pretending Slay the Spire II — the exact same game, with the exact same mechanics/progression and the exact same art assets — is somehow ALSO good is fucking infuriating, but luckily also hilarious

he may be onto something

censorship got you down? sounds like YOU need a "sesh" with the ABLITERATED HERETIC. MiniMax-M2.7-Abliterated-Heretic-GGUF · Hugging Face share.google/4ptWWIIZO5cz...

... surely, Oasis were the Beatles of Pavement's generation? what am i missing about everything here

the geese thing DEFINITELY proves that many people have forgotten (or given up remembering) how to find, or listen to, new music (and very little else)

just saw an employee of the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon say the show has gotten "7 billion views in 2026 thusfar" had never realized just how worthless the "views" metric could be!

there is just so much good music by sasu ripatti vladislavdelay.bandcamp.com/album/rent-s...

psyop who? u cannot kill my vibe bb. i am perhaps more thrilled than before that 1 band (US) was able to become famous again, despite the entire popular music economy remaining dead (via death (via tiktok (via covid))

✅music is a psyop ✅advertising is a psyop ❌doing traditional promotional marketing about a music group, one signed to a real major publishing company, is not a psyop, ever

has anybody tried hammering Grok with a "denial of confidence" attack? just telling it how funny it is how much it sucks, but thinks it can ship a 'coding platform' that anyone will use. "dude you are so funny. maybe one day you can be as powerful as Mistral AI hahahaha" and just not stop?

feel like this is an 'open letter' in the sense that it is 2 no1. feel like they could have at least pretended to boycott working at the future ParaBros inference mines. feels bad, bb www.nytimes.com/2026/04/13/b...

"smokin that memoir shit the way lena dunham"

had never realized this: Infinite Jest and every Douglas Adams book (save LC2S) are the exact same genre to me. the fact that people treat Infinite Jest like some paragon of belles lettres instead of a wacky sci-fi romp slash book of lists are missing out

english has always been a brain programming language. now computers have ~brains and it is the best computer programming language. it really is almost that simple folks

harbour needs an emmy nom if not the statue for DTF

once again proving my point that josh fadem sneaks his way into every single piece of essential art captured onto video. this one is only 53 seconds, how did he even manage to sneak in??? youtu.be/Tz70Ot-yl8s?...

put another way, the hard problem of consciousness is perpetuating the illusion that our internal consciousness matters to anyone else. the solution is destroying that illusion. it sounds pretty wacky but i firmly believe this

at this point, it really is Schröedinger's Autism. and ain't no way to peek inside my box

is there a shirt with the sickos guy but it says linux instead of sickos? www.numerique.gouv.fr/sinformer/es...

last night i solved the hard problem of consciousness (to my own satisfaction, at least) and today i feel like i had already come up with the same solution (the existence of qualia doesn't actually matter to anyone) once before. i propose "reliable memory" as the new hardest problem of consciousness

i've got the worst case of impersonator syndrome. i've been stuck on Al Gore for like 3 months

it's a better you and more you you. not a no need for you or even a different you. keep this in mind!

did i already say this one? avey tare's real name is dave portnoy

i saw somebody else say Discourse makes administrating a forum delightful — someone i disagreed with profoundly on some other point. i agree about Discourse! if you are interested in talking about skills for LLM harnesses, without talking about the harnesses: sk.illmd.com

the popular band threadsplosion is bittersweet bc no bands at this level of sophistication will ever be as famous as any one of the many cited examples managed to become. 🥲

i mean i saw the strokes in 2001 but very seriously i think they have only gotten less popular and successful since then. the reverse hockey stick

i guess cap'n jazz and kendrick lamar are probably my two party tricks, but there are surely much funnier ones that that

agents are totally the new NFTs and it is maybe even worse. that said, ignore the "agent" part of agentskills.io and just trust me: take a few hours/days to learn about what sounds like the most boring thing in the world *right now* because it is going to upend your life in a great way if you let it

man, if you had told me my ideal dream musical form was a bunch of pitched up chipmunks slinging 50 nonsense phonemes per minute over so many recursive hypermelodic breakbeats that it sounds like a crazy person, i would have said *you* sound like a crazy person

sorry to post this where no one will care/know what i am talking about, but come on: obviously Boris is the one who borked the npmignore file right? it's not like other people are pushing his product to production... or is it?

every lyric bladee sings sounds like he is overdramatically fake-apologizing for something you are mad at him for ... something that he still thinks was the right thing to do

i think one thing that gets lost in the *"AI discourse"* is: i already have the means to never be bored again for the rest of my life. i don't even think they could successfully nerf the tools i need to do this if i tried. not necessarily a huge coup to 100% self-satisfy intellectually but kinda?

hey. what if run the jewels DIDN'T have El-P's beats? indeed ... what if they had the worst thing anyone has ever created as music to rap over, instead? youtu.be/hmGVKJdGIxY?...

this song been running thru my head a lot since last week. dig it theguppiesreal.bandcamp.com/track/six-gu...

having strong feelings about lindy west's love life in ANY direction is a crazy hobby in 2026 for almost 100% of people

i swear, the number of Cursive (band) jokes i've seen, and yet no one has simply quoteskied it with "DOROTHY WAKE UP / DOROTHY WAKE UP / DOROTHY WAKE UP IT'S TIME FOR WORK"

Stephen Malximus

was talking with a friend about how my lyrical mojo is essentially "unscrapeable" but honestly, i think even my actual new output is often disappointing for people who want more of what i have done before. maybe that's the trick. float like a wonderfly

it's obviously a landmark in TV broadcasting

seen a couple of Kieth obits but nowhere near enough. RIP to one of the best to ever "do it" (in this case, meaning be themselves)

the whole enshittification thing really only adds up if you believe the internet has ever had ANYTHING better on offer than wikipedia. so most people don't need to worry
