Do NOT talk to him about his cats though, he'll introduce them by name and that can be a problem

Specifically he's with Haru Urara.

Guess we found out who the Silent Hill 2 Circumcision poster was

Free knuckle tattoo idea: AVON LADY

Well they fought a vampire, they're very enterprising and willing to try new things

He was scared of penguins. Not even, like, evil eldritch penguins or the ones with admittedly weird facial/head hair. Just the concept of a normal penguin

I don't have the attention span to watch any streamers but hbomberguy is still cool, right?

Part of the point of keeping poverty and starvation around is a threat to force people into working against their class! I don't get how people acknowledge this, but then can't accept that yes, some people are going to accept that option, when the alternative is for their family to starve

Oh I really like this lol

One that bothers me instinctively is that it would be entirely historically accurate if the characters in Dracula took a break to play Nintendo and drink Coca Cola. But they probably wouldn't do that

It'll never be lost on me that a particular subset of the liberal commentariat in both North America and Western Europe were deeply infatuated with this woman up until the very moment she decided to talk about that one issue you're still basically not allowed to talk about lol.

I can't tell which is more baffling; either she's lying (to win over that vital voter base of potential Tories who love Terry Pratchett?) or she's being genuine (so she loved his work and what she took from it was...?)

lol

if this is what they do to a world famous activist they know is being watched, imagine what they’re doing to young women and girls whose names have never been in the papers

Liked the film a lot but thought it did Mina's character oddly dirty

KOKO THE GORILLA: Koko birkin bag. Practical Koko possession bag
RESEARCHER: No, Koko. You can’t have a Birkin bag.
KOKO: Good Birkin good Koko give beautiful Koko deserve gorilla
RESEARCHER: Koko, we simply can’t afford a Birkin bag. It is an unjustifiable expense.
KOKO: jealousy professor

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable."

All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.

PALACE YOU SAY

I'm going to strangle it with my bare hands. Oh yes, once they hear about my horse interactions, they'll call me Mr Hands

They keep saying you can't put the genie back in the bottle and in this case that is evidently not true. Every time you take the genie out of the bottle it costs two million pounds and every second it's out uses a bathtub of water. Pull the fucking funding, put the bottle back in the cave + seal it

One of my mandatory e-learning modules at my last job, for some completely unfathomable reason, was about what to do if you're visiting a client's house and they have an aggressive dog. I am an employment lawyer who works entirely from home

Looking forward to seeing if it reaches some of the heights of Ctrl-Alt-Ego which I finally played recently. Glorious little game when it finally takes the training wheels off in the last few chapters.

"some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily execute civilians" says today's New York Times, continuing their long tradition of whitewashing fascism

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

A schedule excerpt listing events for December 5–7, 2014 under the label "ZORRO." Friday, Dec. 5, 2014 (NY-ZORRO): Tentative breakfast party with Bill Gates; Ron Baron and Josh Harris invited (awaiting reply). Saturday, Dec. 6, 2014 (ZORRO): Reminder that Gregory Riches is on holiday in Aruba Dec. 6–13; reminder that Elon Musk may visit the island on Dec. 6 (uncertain). Sunday, Dec. 7, 2014 (ZORRO): TBD departure from PB and arrival in San Francisco. Would you like me to make the alt text more concise (for accessibility screen readers) or more detailed (to preserve full context)?

Every time I try to remember the funniest reason a SomethingAwful moderator lost their position, I try to look it up and there's a newer, funnier one

I feel like we're one hardware gen away, maximum, from hyper-realistic VR porn games starting her dead-eyed revenant, saying your name in a voice that's convincing the way a will-o'-the-wisp is convincing, and I try not to be reactionary but I think we probably need to start the Butlerian Jihad now.

They're both doing it because they're desperate for people to like them, but there are people who do actually like Trump. Yes, sure, they're bad people, but they love him and he loves them. There isn't a single person who likes Keir Starmer other than the vengeful spectre of Margaret Thatcher.

I could easily fall down the side of a building, really quickly, once.
