a tiny peek into my youtube algorithm is that i'm getting served incredible stuff like this www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xfc...

VFX SUPERVISOR: did you create that character model? VFX ARTIST: sure did boss, made the nose real penis-y for ya VFX SUPERVISOR: you what VFX ARTIST:

it'd be nice to at the very least have a mayor who's a cutie

my FIL's wedding gift to us was $40 worth of 50¢ coins because he "read an article in the paper" that encouraged him to order them because they might contain silver that made them worth more than 50¢. it was just an ad for a scam. he spent $700 on $40 of coins

nightmare blunt rotation

Seldom do we hear about the long, painful recovery that traffic violence victims endure. This man was struck by a hit and run driver— which is also how his father was killed. I hope he recovers well and that the driver that hit him is found and is severely punished

this might be my favorite line delivery in all of television www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnFE...

cooking is just drying the wet and then putting some wet on the dry

cabeus horpus

how much of this "agentic AI" hype is spreading because straight women started asking male partners to shoulder more of the logistical load and a bunch of straight men went "this is impossible"

Anti-trans policy means surveilling cis women in a culture of gender suspicion. Closed borders means surveilling natives in a culture of "Papers please" suspicion. Segregation means surveilling whites to prevent race-mixing and race treason. Fascism erodes the freedoms even of those not targeted.

the future of writing as a profession: one person putting together a valueless 64-page section, using the saying-things machine to do it, and no one bothering to read any of it

this is so bleak, man. it was going to be worthless junk, by design, even if he hadn't used hallucinating AI to generate it www.404media.co/chicago-sun-...

saw someone post on linkedin (i know, i know) about how great it is that laid-off journalists are getting hired to work in corporate newsrooms and it's over isn't it

absolutely bizarre to see professional writers say things like "oh yeah ai assistants are good and i use those, but they certainly can't be used for creative work" as though their own use of "ai" assistants is not helping companies refine their "ai" products

how prevalent do we think orthorexia is in the general population at this point. 25%? more?

imagine being kara swisher or scott galloway. you see your employer lay off a shitload of people. you see them dragging their feet on a union negotiation. and you go "yeah give me $20 million"

periodic reminder that medicare/medicaid are the main source of funding for physician residency programs. you know, the programs every doctor has to go through to become a doctor

a car dealership building a ~4-story building a block over from me is the most insane shit I’ve seen. this is western queens, a neighborhood dying for housing, and an entire block is being spent on selling cars to no one

outsourcing your writing to the plagiarism ecocatastrophe means never experiencing the joy of looking through NYC's sewer design standards to learn how much a manhole cover weighs

this was a genocide a year ago and it's a genocide today. all the withheld diplomas and pundits libeling protesters won't change that, and some day everyone will have always known this was wrong.

pretty telling that the best a generative AI model can do to "create" "new" "alien" life is to smush two species together and change the color

this is so fucking frustrating

media illiteracy squared is kids thinking that "demonetization" is "demon-etization"

canon is a disease

It’s genuinely embarrassing that people keep falling for these “AI explains the hidden secrets of its programming” posts. Grok is not sentient, it cannot explain what it’s doing and why.

the ad breaks in andor are so poorly placed they seem like intentional degradation of the viewer experience

hey @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov as your constituent i am telling you i think this fucking sucks

what is up with all these freaks named bri/yan johnson doing body horror cult shit
