Getting sick of "bad not catastrophic" and "catastrophic" being the only two possible election results these days tbh

Who called it a papal conclave instead of a popelarity contest

OpenAI isn't on the path to becoming a for profit company! They spent $9 billion to lose $5 billion last year! And if you think Sam Altman is some virtuous guy being pushed around by venture capitalists you are a god damn mark, holy shit

The Monkey is the M3GAN of this year, yes. even though there's another M3GAN movie coming out.

I came here to chew bubble gum and kick ass, and I'm all outta bubble gum. I'm also outta ass. I planned this terribly.

I love my job. Me and my bros get to hang out in a cozy research base in Antarctica. How can this place get any better? Oh fuck yeah a dog just showed up

Fire sprinklers have a glass vial of liquid holding a metal cap in place on a pressurised water line. When the liquid gets to a specific temperature, it expands enough to shatter the vial and the cap shoots off, allowing the sprinkler to sprinkle.
