Dutch late night TV has its take

An einer Tür hängt ein Poster, das wohl eine studentische Comedy-Show ankündigt. In roter Blockschrift steht auf dem Poster: „Die Comedy-Show // by students Freier Eintritt Freibier“ Jemand hat über das Poster ein weißes Blatt Papier geklebt und darauf geschrieben: „Die Show fällt leider aus!!!“

I’m also fairly sure Klein didn’t write anything like this after the assassination of multiple Dem politicians in Minnesota. I’m not saying this as a gotcha, but rather the show the implicit assumption of our discourse, which is that Right Wing violence is to be expected, and thus tacitly accepted.

It's clear that printing and distribution of my publication TASKS FOR THE NATIONAL GUARD IN CHICAGO is going to disrupt my life at a time when I have no time, so here are files you can print from. It's a double-sided 8.5 x 11" sheet of paper. Please do not edit the text. Have fun!

When I’m about to make a joke at the dentist, the skeleton manning the ship inside my brain pokes the inside of my head with a big fork and screams “don’t you fucking do it!” but then I do it anyway and don’t even say the joke right and no one laughs and he’s like well THAT couldn’t have gone worse

I really need to have like 10% more or 10% less ambition. Be much happier that way. Cursed to have that dawg in me, but it's the runt of the litter.

It's Minnesota State Fair time! It's time for Minnesotan folk art! Here, for example, is Saturn Devouring His Corn, in the seed art category!

It is very hard for evil to take hold of the unconsenting soul.

News of the pratfall leaked. “Fred Astaire, aged 77, has broken his wrist by falling from a skateboard,” announced The Associated Press in a world news bulletin. Three days later a spokesman for Golden Films, Astaire’s company, issued their own update. “It was a clean break but his wrist will be in a cast for six weeks. We wanted to have a picture taken with the cast but he is a little shy about the accident,” a spokesman told California local newspaper The Daily Review. Although he was embarrassed about the accident, Astaire noted drolly that some of his actor friends had cautioned him about the dangers of doing skateboarding tricks at such an advanced age. “Gene Kelly warned me not to be a damned fool, but I'd seen the things those kids got up to on television doing all sorts of tricks,” said Astaire. “What a routine I could have worked up for a film sequence if they had existed a few years ago. Anyway I was practicing in my driveway and fell off.”

Fred Astaire should be an unlockable character in Tony Hawk

The Crisis of the University Started Long Before Trump The University of Chicago is in crisis. Under extraordinary financial strain, it has diminished its faculty-student ratio and hired hundreds of “lecturers”: teachers whom it pays little and whom it do...

A great read on UChicago, arguing we’re seeing the result of decades of mismanagement: “The university’s trustees and leaders view it preeminently as a tax-free technology incubator, and its debt load is so great that it is abandoning ideals it once held dear in order to sustain that goal.”

It’s 2050 and a teen girl is torrenting a .tar.gz file of all the consciousnesses of all the tech bros who uploaded themselves into the cloud in a bid for immortality and modding them into The Sims 4

a post from itch saying “I don't see any indexing restrictions on your game. Your game does have a content warning because of this setting on your page though (check the "Metadata" tab). It's possible at some point you could have added a tag to your page that is commonly associated with explicit adult content.”

a post from itch pointing out that an article is full of misinformation and trying to clarify.

itch.io has been nothing but supportive of LGBTQ+ work since the beginning. it pains me to see the community turn on them like this and so gleefully spread misinformation about them without even giving them a shred of benefit of the doubt.
journalists too...

Patient, sobbing: But Doctor, I AM Pagliacci!
ChatGPT: Apologies. I didn't realise when recommending Pagliacci's epic show to cure your depression that you were the genius himself. I'm impressed! With regards to your initial question, I can recommend seeing the Great Clown Pagliacci.

Rauchen angefangen hab ich direkt nach dem Abi. Die Pausentechnologie davor war die Klingel, danach die Kippe. Brauch ich jetzt wieder ne Klingel?

There's this dude that plays the trumpet everywhere Bolsonaro goes.

Recently he has been seen playing Chopin - Marche Funèbre.

Memory. Yeah. I like it. Just the right image for the times since we keep forgetting the past, things change so quickly these days, and there’s just too much to remember.“

As for me, I’m a practical man in business, the rent here is outrageous, and this computer cost me a fortune. If my machine stimulates vital controversy on the nature of man and intelligence, focuses a sharply pinpointed interest in the relation between freedom and technology, so much the better.
