Anyway, I love finding stuff like this at a thrift store—something that has been modified or personalized in some way. At some point, it probably meant a lot to someone, and I’ll probably never know how or why

My second guess is that it was given as a gift from one friend to another, with the signature being a joke (maybe the giver, or the recipient, disliked Jack Black’s?)

This does appear to be a promo copy of the soundtrack, as the barcode in the back has a hole punch through it. My best guess is that this was a radio station giveaway and it was an on-air personality that signed it

A photo of the insert from the soundtrack CD for “Orange County”. Someone has written over Jack Black’s face; the written text reads “I [heart] Jack Black!” followed by an illegible signature starting with a “C”, and then an incredibly stylized version of the word “Rock” that also kind of resembles a row of teeth.

Long shot but does anyone have thoughts on who signed this copy of the Orange County soundtrack I picked up at a thrift store today? Pretty sure it’s not Colin Hanks, he doesn’t seem to write his “C” like that

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point.

I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion

People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it

*to offset the enshittification

*sigh* mostly the vain hope that they would cultivate enough of a paid user base of offset the enshittification that ensues from any tech company desperate to make themselves look investment-worthy. I know, I get the "fell for it again" award

I cancelled my Nitro (which I've had since January of 2022) over this. I suggest everyone else do the same.

if you have a ring camera you are a child, terrified of the silhouette of a jacket hanging on a chair. you are lower than a worm to me. you have sold your soul to a devil that has offered you nothing in return

Laughing so hard at the terrible AI social network ad

Not gonna lie I was kinda hoping for the 0 TD chaos Super Bowl

Christ the X*finity Jurassic Park ad was somehow even worse than I expected

*night

Obvious CGI and telegraphed conclusion aside, I think the Budweiser ad might be the best of the light after Pokemon. The bar is on the floor, though

The AI ads have ground me down so much that when there was an ad for just the concept of Pokemon, I wanted to give it 500 Clios.

mronko if you’re on Bluesky and see this, I am so, so sorry for playing The Tooth Fairy (2006) off of Walking Tall. I swear I meant to play Tooth Fairy (2010) which, while mean, isn’t impossible to play off of. #cine2nerdle

The ADHD urge to buy a thing, watch all the videos about the thing, religiously track shipping until the thing arrives, excitedly open the shipping box to get to the thing, and then place the thing somewhere random and forget about it for 3-60 months.

I just want to let you know that I bought and played Ys X in no small part because of your video on it and loved it, and I don't think I would have checked it out otherwise.

Tonight other dumb napkin cartoon…

Billie Eilish during her #GRAMMYs speech for Song of the Year:

“As grateful as I feel, I don’t need to say anything except that, no one is illegal on stolen land. It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, I feel hopeful in this room and we need to keep protesting… fuck ICE.”

Imagine Grok but even more poisoned by Orson Scott Card

This was very funny but then I realized that there's several (justifiably) shamed/shunned authors who are probably mulling this over.
