Really glad that there was a popular anime magazine in Japan in the 70s-90s called "OUT" so that I can say that Char Aznable was on the cover of Out magazine and have that be a true statement

In the interest of full disclosure, color me surprised... especially since my appeal was simply: "Wishing someone cramps isn't violent speech you hypocritical assholes." 🤣🤣🤣

A little late in the month for this, but … Wikipedia says Punxsutawney Phil is correct about 35-41% of the time. You could improve the accuracy of the mythology by simply flipping the rules: if he sees his shadow, then it’s likely to be an early spring.

OK honest question what is the root of this? Is this just how you think on drugs?

#Malaysia: Extremely worrying that #humanrights defenders Sevan Doraisamy & Azura Nasron from SUARAM are going to be charged under s5 of Protected Areas and Protected Places Act. This is a clear form of judicial harassment to stifle their activism t.co/IERfyI3aew

You can still respond to the consultation process, too - until Tuesday...

Pleasantly surprised at how good this was. A Tamil-language movie set in KL about a barber looking for love. If you love Sima Auntie (Indian Matchmaking) then this is a must watch. Subtle comments on caste, working vs middle class Indians, & race relations in Malaysia.

the discover tab exists to punish you for posting good . like hey nice joke let’s put it up on the fridge in the black lodge

ALWAYS a hearty brunch at Mountbatten on Jalan Tun Perak. The otak-otak bruschetta is always a delight!

This sounds great. It’s got everything you’d want from a Patlabor game!

Who knew, "Trump Take Egg" apparently is a fun thing?! www.dailydot.com/culture/trum...

I’m gonna post some drawings from a while ago that I’m still fond of. Here’s Colossus and Magik having a beach day.

"No one knows whether these problems can be fixed by throwing more processing power and better algorithms at them — the "scaling up" strategy that Altman and most of the industry embrace." Actually, scientists have researched this quite a lot and the answer is: no, it won't work to "scale up".

Bullseye + Hitman = wait for it... Bullshitman

If you could create a new Amalgam character, which Marvel and DC characters would you combine? Aquaman + Wolverine = Aquamarine

Looks like 50 year old Richie Rich fell into a vat of Joker acid while listening to Baked Alaska raps from 2016.

Sorry, but if you see literal Nazis going after trans women calling them men in dresses and you go, "They've got a point." You are a Nazi.

It is absolutely insane that, ADL, the signature anti-semitism awareness organization in the US, cannot discuss the horrifying rise of people doing Sieg Heils on TV, because they have to save face from their decision to cover for Musk's Nazi bullshit 5 weeks ago

You can tell this is a product that's in high demand because they keep hiding the ways to turn it off

If you have a device that CAN run Apple Intelligence you need to turn this off as well as the general Apple Intelligence setting. Settings > Screen Time > scroll down to Content and Privacy > turn on Restrictions > Intelligence and Siri > turn off the first three options

Just stumbled upon a cute little video series I want to see much more of. Zooliminology - the research notes of a band of underfunded dorks exploring backrooms-like extradimensional spaces and detailing the critters there. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... It just made me smile so I'm sharing it.

If America survives the next four years and the pendulum swings back, it might be interesting to see how this “move fast and break the Constitution” approach might work when it’s doing things to help people rather than to hurt them.

As a senior digital person in Higher Education, the thing i have to drill into everyone is that young people lie constantly on surveys. Surveys are a game to be won, by saying the thing they think the old people want them to say. They're not even conscious they're doing it. /1

Note how most of the audience sits and watches approvingly.

It's hard to laugh at it but a kind of bleakly funny throughline in all this is that it's being overseen by people who 1) have never had any kind of real job, 2) don't know what these particular jobs are or might entail and haven't asked, and 3) are absolutely convinced that they are fake.

I am but one person, but what I want from Democrats is for them to be obstructionist assholes. That's it. I can accept that they cannot "do anything." I cannot accept that they are unable to stop other people from getting anything done in a timely fashion.
