Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

Edited screenshot from Disco Elysium that reads: RHETORIC [Heroic: Failure] -- Alright, here we go. We're devoting all your available brain cells to coming up with a question about video games. Scratch that, to coming up with *the* question about video games, the alpha and omega of video games questions, and that question is: 1. - (Whisper.) "Are games art?" 2. - Oh god, that's bad. Surely I can think of something better.

Every time.

what do you mean "are games art" its a fuckin group art project how old are you did you hit your head

looked up the clip just because sometimes people change his words for captions that end up innocently reshared, but upon finding it decided to share the video because hearing him say it makes it 1000% more definitely true and everyone will listen/believe more than reading it written out

Hulk Hogan 5 minutes into hell:

“banning pornography” is bad on its own but it is imperative that everyone understand that these people consider the very existence of queer people to be pornographic

they consider the most chaste depiction of a queer relationship, or an openly trans person, to be porn and they want it banned

You don’t have to like, approve of, or engage with porn and nsfw work to see how right wing extremists are using fear and stigma around smut to ban queer people from public life, define “good” sex as only between married people for procreation, and otherwise further force white supremacy on everyone

Do not use Google summaries. tenbluelinks.org

Google’s AI Is Destroying Search, the Internet, and Your Brain Google’s AI Overview, which is easy to fool into stating nonsense as fact, is stopping people from finding and supporting small businesses and credible sources.

Google's AI summaries are
- killing traffic to legitimate sites
- producing summaries that can be wrong
- in the long run probably making you a dumbass

You are not unclean. You are not a vessel for sin. You are not the creation of others. You create yourself.

Watched that last night, 24 hours later my teeth still feel funny :/

I will never, ever vote for Gavin Newsom. Ever, under any circumstances. I don't care if he becomes the Dem nominee, he's still not getting my vote.

Bye forever, WeTransfer.

New York Times headline: "Is it Time to Stop Snubbing Your Right-Wing Family?" Above the headline a photo of the vampires from Sinners, asking to be let in. The photo has been modified with a downward-facing word balloon to create the effect that the vampires are speaking the headline.

the epstein footage is missing a minute because jeffrey started singing hey jude in his cell. justice dept doesn’t want to pay for the licensing. somewhat understandable

I spent my day today watching around five different lengthy videos of people inexplicably deciding that the popularity of Labubus, the small Chinese gremlin-like toys, are emblematic of some great social problem. I described this to myself as “my work”

There is something so fundamentally telling with people who think that “reading a book” and “knowing what the plot is” is the same experience.

"The problem with AI isn't that it can do your job. It can't. The problem with AI is that your MBA-brained boss's boss doesn't know how your job works and thinks AI can do your job at fractions of a penny on the dollar, and hears the siren song of 'maximize shareholder value'."

MBA-brain is real.

That whole record is banger after banger

So sorry you & your sweet boy are going through this 💙

WE DID WAY TOO MUCH.

TETSUO: THE IRON MAN (1989)

Screengrab of a Muppet of a Swedish fisherman and a Muppet seal with the number 7 on a card around its neck. The Seventh Seal, in other words.

Never forget that #SesameStreet once did a sketch based on Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal, which involved a Swedish fisherman counting seals until he found the seventh one.

It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins

Tonight I'm texting Nancy Pelosi and asking HER for $5

I like how every single day the people endorsing him get worse. Like a week ago it would be someone like Joe Manchin and now it’s LibsofTiktok, on Election Day it will probably be that Dung Eater guy from Elden Ring

amongussexgif ... Instead of being in settings its in the google app. Also, google, not chrome. Icon is a G, not the circle thing. Click on your pfp to open a menu From there, go Settings > Gemini > Digital Assistants > Switch to Google Assistant. This disables Gemini, google's Al assistant, and switches you back to the old one. We aren't done yet. Go back to Settings. From there, we go Settings > Google Assistant > scroll to find General > Google Assitant on/off > turn it off They really tried their best to make it a pain, but you can eventually disable it. Holding the power button on your phone still pulls up a menu and asks you to turn it back on, but this is the least intrusive you can make it. Applies to all non-apple phones afaik. For sure Samsungs and Pixels but idrk about others Edit: thank you my friend @/teeth-kid for confirming that this also works on Motorola

Here's how you remove Google AI from your mobile devices.

I seriously think the Social Internet is 21st century cigarettes. Complete with secondary smoke causing a lot of harm in nonusers.
