Cradled NZ have just come out with a frankly BANGER line of merch in support of PATHA’s legal action! Get yourself a "WOKE IDEOLOGICAL FERAL" t-shirt! cradlednz.digitees.co.nz/shop/categor...

It would cost $30 billion to end homelessness in the USA.

That moustache is extremely unfortunate.

It’s pretty funny that this is almost the exact same amount of money Netflix paid for Warner Bros and HBO and CNN, all that for this

bubs, i’ve only got two, maybe three Motown puns left in me. Four tops.

There is a fifth wave of ska, beyond that which is known to rude boys

"William Gibson has strong opinions about ska" is simultaneously obviously true and very funny.

Neuromancer has a nice bit about this where a psychotic illusionist uses another character’s imagined image for a show; it’s played both as a horrid violation and as pathetic

you can always x, it’s always morally correct meme saying you can always break a man’s Meta glasses, it’s always morally correct

Image two description: Picture of the following text on top of a purple, blue and white background: "We demand the government scrap the planned changes to regulation of puberty blockers, and that opposition parties commit to repealing this change in the coming election year. This ban violates the principles of rangatiratanga outlined in Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and establishes a dangerous precedent for denying life-saving care for politicized reasons."

Tāmaki whānau, please go to this protest by Block the Ban against the Government's transphobic ban on puberty blockers for trans youth on Sunday 7th December from 10AM at Myers Park. Everyone, including trans youth, deserves access to healthcare. www.facebook.com/events/11854...

This is the funniest fucking thing I have ever seen.

This guy is a Reply Guy from the year 3000.

It is just beyond my comprehension how so many people apparently wake up every day determined to find as many low to high level nasty things to do as they can.

If OP shows up on Discover, it's curtains.

Can I say something without everybody getting mad at me.

has anyone else noticed that food tasted better in the past? it was mushy and easy to eat. and the spoon would come at you like an airplane

much of what we dislike about A.I.-generated text from a formal perspective--it’s generally cautious, inoffensive, anodyne, predictable, neutral, unmemorable and goes down smooth--is a product not of some inherent L.L.M. “voice” but of the training and fine-tuning processes imposed by A.I. companies, which are incentivized to make their chatbots sound as annoying and bland as possible.

feel like an ethnography of the people who get paid by the piece to "rank" LLM outputs would also explain a lot about the kind of prose the models are optimized to generate

It's revealing about taboos around racism that the visceral bullying racism of schoolboy Farage cuts through while the much more consequential thinly veiled racism of adult Farage doesn't. Many people need that veil and flinch when it's removed. You can advocate racist policies but not say the words

we used to be a real country. these days you cannot purchase a possum and 'taters dinner for any price, and the cost of persimmon beer is at an all time high

This is cordon bleu cuisine in New Zealand.

If you posted this on Twitter I would have assumed you were trying to vaguetweet that Italians aren't white.

A post from “juanbuis” saying “to commemorate alan dye moving from apple to meta, here’s one of his best quotes” and the quote text is on a liquid glass background making it totally illegible

lmao

If you need to understand what's happening, this farce is a perfect place to begin.

A broken, unhappy man is being given a fake award he doesn't deserve by a corrupt group looking to bribe him and earn favors. It's meaningless, everything he wants, and it won't matter to him within an hour.

I thought a group of cis white women called the cops?

These documentaries were big news on alt.religion.wicca USENET when I was first getting into Wicca.

it is an underrated miracle of the 21st century that we really did massively, massively reduce bullying in schools

I'm not loving those quote marks on that particular word given the rest of the sentence.
