How fitting!

As security rushes the stage to tackle me, I grab the mic and shout the words I know to be true

BARRY IS SHORT FOR BAROLD

Why would they? There's nothing unusual about that!

Who did that illustration?

1. I didn't know that Gumby had a last name.
2. I would never have guessed that it is Gumba.
3. I hope he didn't do anything with that letter except drop it straight into the trash, because that is clearly a scam.

I'm glad that someone took the time to really think about this platform and put those thoughts into words. Gonna be thinking about this for awhile.

No AI tool understands anything.

Just because the auto-correct spits out words you like doesn't mean it is smart- or even thinking.

The guy just wants the people asking for money to feed their families who are suffering under blockades and bombings to take a moment and give their pleas a little personal touch. A little pizzazz. So he doesn't get bored or annoyed with seeing the same cries all the time.

Slop 👎

My wife is going to flip when she finds out I've been following a Blake Lively alt

At first I thought it was pretty intense, but then I saw that you are Pile Of Garbage so I just figured that was how it was always likely to go if nominative determinism is anything.

You know what? I did miss that part.

Thanks to the last year or two, UFO/UAP internet knows about SCIFs. And that's easily a third of the proposed audience for this series of still images presented in rapid succession.

Why with the AI slop graphic, though?

About nothing in particular, but I just read it and love the sentiment.
"Nobody here can beat me skating, that’s why. Your problem is that you think about falling. When I skate, I’m just thinking about skating. That doesn’t mean I never fall. I just never think about it. I just skate." George Benson

Seems like the makings of a pretty good flag

How about a connection between (x) and New (x)?

It's wild how far we continue to fall.

The story of David and Goliath is basically the miraculous story of how if you have a weapon you can take down somebody bigger than you, especially if they don't.

Some folks are going to hate hearing this, but it needs to be said more often.

It isn’t soOoO, oh oh no

Bow to your sensei!

A screenshot of the search screen in Bluesky, with a list of the top trending topics. Lindsey Graham is at #1, with an indicator that says “Hot”. This means that a great number of discussions are mentioning his name.

Way to get a fella’s hopes up, @bsky.app

And lest the drum not get banged on today…
This is part of the joy of searching the web and looking for things. If I had simply asked a chatbot how to do the thing I wanted (or more realistically asked it to do it for me), I would never have seen that.

I was looking for one thing and happened upon this. I am laughing and laughing at some of the things they call out as being out of bounds.

Just an endless parade of bullshit these days.

Wow. A real intellectual here.

When you ask the AI to draw you a guy and make him look kind of threatening in a dumb way, but also confused.

(I wouldn't really ask an AI to do anything except shut itself off, but for the sake of the joke...)

In panel 1, Kool-Aid Man (an anthropomorphic pitcher of Kool-Aid) crashes through a wall shouting his customary "OH YEAH!" In panel 2, he is seen tripping over some bricks and crying "OH NO!" Also, there is a young man in both panels bearing witness to these events. He doesn't really add anything to the proceedings, but I didn't feel like editing him out. I've already done enough editing here by leaving the last panel off.

I just stumbled upon this ancient @pennyarcade.bsky.social comic and am laughing quite a bit more than it might merits.
(I left the third panel off because it didn't really add anything to the joke. Imagining Kool-Aid Man stumbling while crashing through a wall is already perfect.)
