If he passes another peaceful night the AFP will put his photo in black and white to reflect his long-term solidarity with the visually impaired

Sure looks like Google News caught the Latin Times using a large language model to write an article picking up on my latest report

Poured one out for the homies who wanted a career in DVD menu design. Rest in peace.

Every news thing now is like “law enforcement agency dissolved: all power to Zod!” and then the Dems posting “iron workers have been the backbone of American industry for 100 years, and now tariffs are breaking our promise to them”

Elon just filed his proposed second amended complaint, asking for "treble damages" for companies illegally [checks notes] not advertising on X... The level of entitlement is insane. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“You maniacs!” exclaims Charlton Heston’s character. “You blew it up! The national deficit, I mean, by transporting, at unknown but almost certainly ruinous expense, the Statue of Liberty to the Planet of the Apes!”

Him Upstairs is singing - in no way in time, tune or key - Pink Floyd's 'Comfortably Numb', but replacing the titular lyric with 'and I have become Mumford & Son'. It is unclear how this aids the general effort. #notgettinginvolved #happyiliveinasplitlevel #bringbackanoldhashtag

I've never seen a Big Tech owner who understood his property worse than Musk. Likes and retweets are the 'sizzle' on the site. Imagine if YouTube wasn't going to show how many times a clip was viewed. Go ahead and take the whole place apart, sell it to some Russian website for scrap. Fine by me.

What the fuck is "Copyrighted Gameplay"?

::opens Rotisserie chicken plastic container:: You are descended from dinosaurs; when your ancestors ruled the world, my people were merely *voles*. My, my…how the tables have turned…

Oh my god he removed the headlines from article posts and they look *absolutely fucking ridiculous* and are completely indistinguishable from plain images and traffic on that site is gonna fall off a fucking cliff.

Woke up and Musk's latest change (removing headlines from links) has turned all our articles into surreal clickhole posts. Masterful gambit, sir.

Hear me out: Beeker of the House

Dennis Hopper in Speed: if you drive below 50 mph your vehicle will explode Elon Musk: interesting 🤔

They've done it. They've invented something worse than SaaS

*All the king’s horses and all the king’s men stare at the pieces of broken shell and egg *They find a note which reads: “Avenge me”

Administrators asked ChatGPT the specific language of Iowa’s new law, “Does [book] contain a description or depiction of a sex act?” If ChatGPT said yes, the book was removed from the library.

Space Karen just killed classic tweetdeck AGAIN. New tweetdeck is paywalled. Fk that shit.

Ok, I trust you.

[sawing down a street lamp] CY: What if that thing falls on you? ME: Don't worry, it's a light pole.

Two years ago during the Great Resignation I predicted that as Covid protocols eased up, businesses would slowly transition "back to the office", starting with hybrid. Working remote forever would be a hard sell. It's funny as fuck that the company who benefited the most is requiring this tho
