Happy winter solstice to all those in the proper hemisphere. Happy summer solstice to all those in the other one.

Ah, the Red Vs Blue You Are An Idiot argument against tattoos.

This is not surprising, but very scary. Gen AI is dangerous & will destroy human brains if people keep giving into laziness & choose stealing. I fucking hate AI. SAY NO TO GEN AI!!!

I have a joke about lycanthropia that will have you howling.

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

The menswear guy has responded to JD Vance, who suggested he should be deported.

Golden ripples kiss the shore, As a lighthouse stands forevermore. Silent sentinel, bold and bright, Guiding dreams through fading light. The tide retreats, the rocks reveal, Secrets only Dusk can steal. Peaceful, proud this sacred land, Carved by time and nature’s hand.

Any industry eliminating entry level roles where new, younger employees learn on the job before promotion to more advanced, decision-making roles is sawing through the branch it's sitting on.

“All writers hate writing! I deep cleaned my kitchen instead of typing words!” Skill issue. I am surrounded by filth.

I finally watched Conclave. I like that Ralph Fiennes has the same energy as Kermit the Frog trying to keep The Muppet Show from going off the rails.

Son #2's school is setting up a wargaming club, so he asked for some heavy support for his Imperial Fists. Nearly there.

i haven’t seen technology this forced on all of us in my life time. they’re trying to make it so we have no choice to use this shit

Another Australian cultural institution failing to uphold its own values. Another person punished and silenced for opposing war crimes. Another cultural institution that doesn’t have the bravery to speak honestly about its straight up censorship. Weak as piss. www.slq.qld.gov.au/about/news-a...
