as part of my upcoming article "The Fourth Best View On AI" I'm revisiting a talk I gave at UCC Netsoc in April 2021. I can't find a recording or my slides, but I do have these important screenshots

The Daily Beast: What is this Elon Salute what can it mean French Nazis: too Nazi for us

I don't know if it's the release of Kyle Gordon's "We Will Never Die" that's doing it or other nascent hating under the surface but just seeing the new Fontaines song is called "It's Amazing To Be Young" is doing me damage

The Dune poster I really remember was the IMAX one that was also a fuckin banger of an illustration! I'm not even mad about the insane IMAX branding!

this is a reminder to my followers to read Palo Alto

Welcome to Music Valley

fourth best magazine (2024-)

man what the fuck is wrong with instagram on the desktop just let me post my insanely high resolution gig photos

what's going on in the e3m1 royal festival hall?

getting shoes repaired is interesting because it's about six hours of going to different shops being like "What? No. Nothing to be done with that one." and then finally finding someone called "BRYAN: MASTER COBBLER" who's like "Oh yeah. I can have that for you tomorrow" and does so flawlessly

Important: this is not any old petition – if it gets one million verified signatures, then the EU Commission is legally required to consider it and respond Ireland has helped hit an important threshold, but it still needs one million total so every signature counts to ban this conversion torture

"We took matters into our own paws,” a member of the puppygirl hacker polycule told the Daily Dot.

my girlfriend keeps telling me about the death of millennial whimsy at the hands of cringe and then every time I open YouTube I get served another recommendation with like 300 views where some gen z kid is proving that explicitly wrong

having not emigrated I questioned the authenticity of a lot of Very Irish Art made by people who describe the experience of finding themselves as outsiders after emigrating. (not *just* Fontaines, but *definitely* Fontaines) it's not a healthy habit! I don't recommend the approach! good piece:

this made me think to check and yep. they always get so racist they never enjoy the half time show lmfao

if the bots are using em dashes I'm going to have to become more annoying ⸻ I just don't know where to start with that

elon musk has done so much evil but his worst offense yet is he has made it impossible to have fun online

this musical artist fictitiously waxes poetic about one "flimsy steve"

"I Luv It" by Camilla Cabello was hated by almost every critic who approached it. Unfortunately for them the song is kind of fucking incredible. It's like if Desire sampled Gucci Mane and Johnny Jewel was forced to make Playboi Carti beats. It's at least an 8/10. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDG-...

I asked deepseek to rephrase this and it came up with these

We don't miss Brockhampton for a reason, they were probably ran by PressUp too

The people who think they are good at everything because they are good at coding are also bad at coding.

Drake hard committing to being a MILF guy in the wake of the Allegations feels like an Arrested Development plot

our nation has a Kennedy missing his brain and now a white man from Dallas is about to help LBJ win. welcome back, 1963

LUKA DONCIC TO THE LAKERS?

judging cinema screens by the amount of bass in the Europa Cinemas jingle

Solstice and Equinox as mid-points of season is correct. This isn't like when the yanks talk about how Fahrenheit "feels correct" this is the objective world

I unsubscribed from Spotify THIS MORNING and they ALREADY emailed me being like "hey! going on a trip soon? want to listen to music? why not subscribe! :)" I made a choice fuck off

Had to get a passport-style photo taken at a Walgreens in the US and a weird guy walked past and said "hell yeah white boy you take that picture" and I laughed for a full minute. I can tell I'm still fighting not to laugh in this but it's probably not too obvious right. Do I need to retake this
