Sounds like a plan

Intersex people are as common as redheads, so claiming 'women can't have penises' or 'men can't have ovaries' is as absurd as denying the existence of redheads.

Starting 2025 being crystal clear

Me learning some basic music: A minor and C major have the exact same notes?! What kind of god would allow that?!

Watched The Polar Express this Christmas... that film is an edit away from being an Elderich Horror Masterpiece

for every 50 likes i’ll photoshop bill murray into a film he should have been in.

Since it's origin is Dawkins book on Memetics, shouldn't Meme pronounced Meh-meh?

Should we be concerned that the elite are buying elections and are openly declaring their intent to do so? Are Liberal democracies about to become boot lickers? Are we steam rolling past over a climate tipping point? This and so much more on this week's episode of Everything's Fucking Fucked!

Is there an open source software maintainer in your life? Are you one? GitHub has a private community you can apply for at maintainers.github.com! Folks discuss common problems/solutions, there’s a direct line to GitHub product & betas, and I post funding opportunities. Spread the word please :)

Wait a sec

In Return of the Jedi, on Endor C3P0 lures a bunch of storm troopers over by announcing 'We surrender' moments before they ambush the hapless troopers. This is an act of perfidy and a war crime.

AI is amazing and has progressed 100000x in just 6 month!!! This new model can do everything!!!! "Make a picture of a sad person saying hello people"

Someone has finally "completed" the #Starcraft2 impossible mission. Summary: AI abuse that warrants a call to Amnesty, 🧀 most foul, an Archon biday, and use of the word "Technically" that would make the No Such thing as a Fish crew proud. Congrats Davey! #GGWP

I can take or leave LOTR, The Silmarillion, what have you, but if he wrote nothing other than the postscript to this invitation card, J.R.R. Tolkien would have a secure place in history.

The real problem is not grating your kids' access to social media. It's grant access to your kids. Social media doesn't have to profit off the indoctrination and radicalisation of its users, but it does because that's good for the bottom line.

The real features were the bugs we made along the way.

THIS. IS. WHAT. HAPPENS. WHEN. THERE’S. NO. SEARCH. COMPETITION. ON. THE. INTERNET.

call me Jake Paul the way I’m about to be fighting old men this thanksgiving

A rap battle is two men writing poems about each other

In 1970 the richest 1% had about 4x the wealth of the average person, and the richest 0.01% had about 30x. Now the richest 1% have 12x the wealth of the average person, and the richest 0.01% have 1000x. This is the problem.

I’ve been trying to work out if I can make my chapters write secret poems in their opening phrases. They can. They are just very very bad.
