Chat is it good for journalism when the Nazi blog site announces on the Nazi social media site that they’re partnering with the degenerate gambling app

‘This is a library, Sir’

it's like the universe knew we needed this

times have been rough and a new absolutely unhinged dinosaur could fix me

This guy (@glutelord.bsky.social) is correct about a lot of the discourse around "looksmaxxing" and so much of guys' ideas of what men should look like, and he should keep saying it.

FYI this is Harper Collins version of Monstrous Regiment makes transphobic changes to the endings of the characters as explained here:

This book is such a cool look at gender and presentation and utterly ruined so the "women" never change from that role

Yesterday my friend told me about her PHILOSOPHY students all using ai for their assignments and like come the fuck on man you’re in Uni doing the subject thats Thinking about Thinking and u refuse to Think

You can make the new He-Man movie look more vintage by the power of greyscale.

Much of the ‘social media is turning kids trans’ panic comes from gen-xers seeing someone express a trans identity, expecting that person to be shamed and bullied, and then being wildly offended and scared when the person is accepted for who they are instead.

definitely seems like you're safer from any kind of punishment for being in the Epstein Files than for, say, just to pick two examples totally at random, attending a college protest for Gaza or tweeting that you weren't very sad Charlie Kirk died

It drives me insane that Elon Musk basically did a Holodomor on the third world and it's not treated like a bigger deal. This should be the number one thing that people know him for. This should be in the first paragraph of his Wikipedia entry. This is a history book scale atrocity.

it is funny to think back like 20-odd years when people were talking about Sustainability because somehow that's totally gone out the window. It's the spectre of Degrowth (reactionary somehow!) vs the demand for Endless Growth.

Vibe Coding Is Killing Open Source Software, Researchers Argue ‘If the maintainers of small projects give up, who will produce the next Linux?’

According to a new study from a team of researchers in Europe, vibe coding is killing open-source software (OSS) and it’s happening faster than anyone predicted.

Hot take, I think spending too much time scoffing smugly at other people - including those who deserve it - is bad for you. Many people totally deserve, even need to be scoffed at, but it takes a small toll each time on the one doling out the deserved scoff, which can cross a threshold when added up

Google search query: "how many days until 1 may 2026" AI Overview: "There are approximately 75 to 78 days until May 1, 2026, depending on the exact calculation method from today, February 15, 2026. It is a Friday."

How many processor cycles are we now burning in order to fail to subtract one number from another

I don’t think he’d even be in the first 20. Read a history book lads.

Time to dust off a classic

In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud — 'The mud should sound perfectly awful, but it doesn't,' notes the experiment creator Who knew listening to a banana sounded so good?

It *literally* does.

Thats what it is. A document which says youre British.

personally i think jay-z has most likely been looking at a two digit readout this whole time and he's got absolutely no idea how much problems

A smartphone is on an end table. It's balancing up on end, and speaking, so maybe it's animate? This is unclear. SMARTPHONE: Hey! HEY! The phone is speaking to PORDLEY, who is trying to practice the piano. He looks up at the phone which is addressing him on its own. SMARTPHONE: I can't help but notice you've been holding me less. I MISS you. I miss your nimble TAPS and SWIPES. PORDLEY: It's because you're a PORTAL to HORRORS! Nothing personal. It's just...you ARE a PORTAL. And there are SO VERY MANY horrors. SMARTPHONE: I'm a portal to EVERYTHING. Don't you want to see GOOFS AND SPOOFS? You LOVE goofs and spoofs! PORDLEY: I DO love goofs and spoofs. SMARTPHONE: I've got SO MANY goofs and spoofs. Pordley, convinced, reaches tentatively for the phone... HORRORS ERUPT FROM THE PHONE. Of course! Of course!!!

They're still out there. The goofs and spoofs. If we can only find them.

Wondermark #1582; Limit Your Scream Time

A headline about evolution of land vertebrates saying “It Started Out as a Fish. How Did It End Up Like This?” which a person on Tumblr turns into an epic “Mr Brightside” parody.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

William Blake’s illustration for “The Tyger” has what appears to be a dippy grin for some reason.

The wonderful thing about Tyggers
Is Tyggers are burning bright
Their tops are made out of rubber
In the forest of the night

What bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Immortal hand or eye
Did frame the most wonderful thing about Tyggers,
Their fearful symmetry!
