I also love how Yorgos Lanthimos just has the both of them basically on retainer

Amazing!! Glad you liked it, I think it's one of my favorites this year. Emma Stone is soooooo good!!

I heard there was a handy clasp
That helps rock climbers with their grasp
Of ropes, and makes your keyring look much keener
It saves on space, it opens in,
And closes with a subtle spring,
The humble and the trusty
Carabiner

if elon just hired an Inverse Jester (guy hired to listen to his jokes and pretend they're funny) we could solve every problem except how to keep the inverse jester from killing himself

my favorite part about this thread is the people goin 'oh bluesky' like this didn't happen on twitter

“I wish I could have gotten the message across that there isn’t a distinction between “they/them” and “you.” The pronoun that matters is “we.”

The Kamala Harris book is so excruciating

Gay bait? :D Naja, ich hab den nicht nicht für Pedro Pascal gesehen. Auch für Emma Stone ;)

I loved it!! And a lot more than the people I went with hahaha, I fully understand how someone could -not- like it for sure but to me, this was amazing

what? I'm out of the loop lol

didn't know about this gritty reboot of katamari

Looking for a physical copy of Once Upon a Katamari (there is none, curse you Nintendo), and on Amazon I found 6 game guides with obviously AI generated covers. The internet is so bleak at this point.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

do you have any idea how much you have to piss somebody off to make them change their gauge

Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

A random Nichijou frame from EP1.

Sign for a "Friend" ad defaced with graffiti reading "AI doesn't care if you live or die."

Sign for a "Friend" ad defaced with graffiti reading "talk to humans"

Sign for a "Friend" ad defaced with graffiti reading "Fuck this!"

Sign for a "Friend" ad defaced with graffiti reading "you don't have to accept this future."

Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced.

Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.

no it isn’t!!! fuck you!!!

Owen in I saw the tv glow

Transgender awareness week is over, you are unaware that you are transgender

a screenshot that says “make it a cartoon with Meta AI” and is a picture of me and then a cartoon version that looks absolutely nothing like me because AI is trash

no sorry you’re right this technology is absolutely worth depleting our water supply

wanted to do game design, didn't get in, did a media/tech mix course just to have something similar to do, fell in love with programming, at an internship got thrown into the deep end with app development, fell in love with app development

#NowWatching Cloud Atlas (2012)

add him to the dream bate rotation

Wow 💔

Not at all. And apparently it wasn't supposed to, like the author himself said something about the book being about "the importance of community" but then I have to wonder why it's lauded as THE anti-war movie. It really isn't that anti-war.

Verstehe ich total. Viele Leute meinten er war verwirrend, das war auch irgendwo die Absicht.

Ich verstehe WAS passiert ist, aber ich habe nicht verstanden, was der Grund dafür ist. Wenn eine Story so obskur ist fange ich an nach der Metapher zu suchen, aber irgendwie war da keine.

MAMDANI: And I just think that there are barriers, barricades, to helping Americans that we can break down
TRUMP: Uh huh
MAMDANI: And breaking down barriers? Reminds me of a certain Broadway show *smiling widely* where they worked together to break a barricade?
TRUMP: *sitting bolt upright* Phantom
