Too many men shave their heads at the first sign of their hair thinning. Not many people can pull off a shaved look. A lot of guys would look better with the hair they have, even if it's not full & lustrous. Also, let's stop shaming guys for a experiencing normal part of aging.

2 panel comic Panel 1: Purple Guy dressed in a black suit giving a eulogy at a funeral. We see the coffin and flowers behind him. Purple Guy: Sometimes when a person dies, others will say “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all” Panel 2: Purple Guy: But that’s bullshit and this guy was a fucking cunt

rip 😔

Donald Trump has threatened New York City if it elects Zohran Mamdani.

Imagine a leader did somewhere in Asia, Africa or Latin America.

Would we regard that country as a democracy?

Dick Cheney won't see your mean jokes about his death, but Tony Blair will, hopefully.

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

You are at the forefront of pun delivery on my timeline, and I appreciate your diligent work in the field.

A screenshot of a post on X by Tim Pool (@Timcast). The tweet says, “Ms Rachel is a demon who harms children. Keep your kids away from this shit.” Below it is a retweeted post from Complex Pop Culture about Ms. Rachel criticizing the government for cutting SNAP food aid. The attached image shows Ms. Rachel wearing a pink shirt and denim overalls, speaking animatedly with her hand raised. Two quotes from her Instagram post are featured: one says, “People who say they are Christian and want to cut SNAP, Jesus said to feed the hungry,” and the other says, “Imagine slashing SNAP, the program that helps children in the US not go hungry, while sending billions in weapons to another country to kill children.”

The complete inversion of morals on the right is not surprising but it's still shocking. Imagine being on the side of intentionally starving children.

This seems outrageously cruel.

And just a handful of months before these folks would have been set to enjoy the release of one of the biggest games of their careers too.

The imbalance of power in the games industry remains utterly fucked.

Anyway a sporadic reminder that we, human beings, could simply choose not to use generative AI. We can look at the massive environmental and social costs and just say no to it. That is an option, albeit one that eludes many supposedly intelligent people in positions of economic and political power.

I'm still waiting to find out what the benefits of generative AI are.

I was just thinking this morning how much I'd like a physical copy of Promise Mascot Agency. And now there is one, and I've pre-ordered it. I wish I could manifest more things by thinking about them, but for now this will do.

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

RIP Prunella Scales, what a legend. People are focusing on how brilliant and funny she was and that's right, she was. But I need people to also remember that Sybil Fawlty was also so hot. Basil was lucky.

With all the milestones, how extraordinary this is can get lost!

Last Sunday on the BBC I announced we overtook the Tories at 124k members.

That's +26,000 members in the last week.

Hope is feeling normal again....

A screengrab from that video of Hayao Miyazaki telling a bunch of tech spurts that their AI animation is an insult to life itself. In this version, the English caption has been changed to read: "You are a dribbling infant, streaking your leaking arse across a tapestry you cannot comprehend. That creatures such as you have been charged with its custodianship is an insult upon creation."

Same energy, so this felt appropriate.

This idea has at least a 9 minute video and 3 YouTube shorts worth of value to the EDC community.

Oh for f**k's sake, we would never have hyped a Caerphilly by-election if Reform weren't going to win it ARE you taking the f**king piss, Wales? You think we’d have bothered covering a by-election in bloody Caerphilly if Reform weren’t going to win?

Oh for f**k's sake, we would never have hyped a Caerphilly by-election if Reform weren't going to win it 🤣🤣
