In an absolute first… me too!

a few lines of a manuscript of Oidheadh Con Culainn, describing the moment in which Lugaid beheads Cú Chulainn (who is already dead). towards the end of a line is a doodle of a person's face/head, a little bigger than the letters around it but not much. it might actually be standing in for the word 'face' or 'head' here, I'd have to check another MS to be sure

Yeah you know what, the description of Lugaid beheading Cú Chulainn was really missing hand-drawn emoticons, that's absolutely what we needed in this specific moment

lol

If anyone was looking for solid evidence that a crash is imminent, here it is:

An old Camel ad. Joe Camel is leaning against his car smoking. His henchman Mel Camel is offering me a cigarette. It's clear that they intended only to teach me a lesson, not to hurt me. It's okay that they hit me with their car. Just look at that sunset. God, I feel more alive than I have in years.

Cool photo I took a few seconds after waking up when Joe Camel hit me with his car

Elon Musk is boosting the British right - and this shows how Elon Musk is boosting the British right - and this shows how

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Zohran Mamdami’s beautiful colourful typographic posters

Well done Zohran! And of course the real victor of the day - typography.

"Here we believe in standing up for those we love, whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women Trump has fired, a single mom waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with your back against the wall. Your struggle is ours too."

watching this shit on Newgrounds was genuinely the coolest thing on the entire internet when it came out

a bunch of us in high school crowded around the same computer and flipping out about what we just saw

stick figures as art, man, just incredible work

George I need you to do to these companies what you could never do to your books and finish them.

One more reason not to use ecocide machines developed from stolen content.
Unless your gen AI use is about addressing things like climate change, pandemic preparedness, or is built, managed, and run without stealing to serve an ethical goal that can't be reached otherwise, gen AI is not the answer.

a fun thing to consider is that China, and probably Russia, almost certainly have the ability to post from the president's Truth Social account. they just know that they only get to use that *once*.

First World Series between two cities threatened with invasion or invaded by a U.S. president.

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

I thought "the president's just a wannabe king who flies a shit-dropping plane over his own country" is something his enemies would say about him but you do you

Ah! Good morning, reality. And welcome. We’ve been expecting you…

I have a question about vampires. If a vampire gets invited into a home by the dwellers and then another vampire comes to the home, can the first vampire invite him in or does it have to be the home dwellers again?

Proud papa moment: my son J published a letter in the @nytimes.com today (in print tomorrow) on the need to think our definitions of autism.

I have started dating a man who is very nice but does not share my politics. Any advice? "You just have to get the fuck out of there. What are you thinking? He must be incredibly attractive-looking. I mean, what is it? Is he tall? Does he remind you of your father? There's only two kinds of politics these days, and you can't breathe the same air as the other kind."

Well I was not expecting BILL NIGHY to be spitting facts today!

Big package just turned up at the house and I didn’t remember ordering anything and it’s 2,500 teabags. So Yorkshire Tea shared a Fesshole and I replied “send us some tea you bastards I’m parched” and amazingly they actually came good. Partner says “this is the best thing you’ve ever done on online”

It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again.

One of the less understood beauties of a transition to a renewable economy is: you cannot invade a country and steal its sunshine and its wind, and you will not need to. The uneven distribution of fossil fuel, esp. oil, has corroded geopolitics for more than a century....

Rolex subreddit post: My uncle has Alzheimer's and is often forgetful of his possessions. One of them is a Rolex Submariner. Would I be justified in taking and caring for it as my own instead of having it left neglected and forgotten in his jewelry box? Thanks.

the subreddits for luxury watches are some of the darkest places on earth

a foundational belief of the modern right is that there is no such thing as organic disagreement with their policies, it’s all directed from the top down

they just can’t conceive that ordinary people find them horrifying

I’m old enough to remember when a comment like this would have been a resigning matter…

I agree with every word Zelda Williams says. And this at the end from OpenAI makes me want to go full Ned Ludd. Creators can’t have a blanket opt-out on copyright infringement of their work and have to fill out a form appealing to OpenAI’s mercy every time? Fuck off into the sun
