I love how we as a society refused to kill vinyl and now it's just the default physical medium bought at live concerts.

Unpopular opinion: Let's not do encores. Especially if everything starts like half an hour late. It's all planned anyway, so why leave and come back? Everyone is partying, just continue the set.

I think someone just tried to flirt with me in the most awkward way. I'm alone in the restaurant and they came over to bring it (it's pick up) with the reason that they 'were not sure if this is my order' 👀 I'm sorry, I'm in a weird headspace right now, I didn't notice and couldn't give back 🥺🫶

NOT EVERYTHING IS AI SOME THINGS ARE JUST BAD LET THINGS JUST BE BAD I legit would like more poorly written, poorly drawn, poorly whatever pierce of art and less AI. At least they tried.

Supergirl was entertaining. The ads for the movie are terrible, I really didn't want to watch it at first because it was marketed just like any other "edgy-funny" superhero movie (Marvel 👀). It's not, and I am confident that is one of the major reasons it didn't get traction. Same for the trailer.

When someone is described as "often controversial, never boring" in 2026 it just means: full nazi but also part of the establishment.

Will do, thanks. Good thing I still have 20 spare ones.

Emulation isn't just about preservation these days. It's become a protest against an industry that turned to shit and the corporations that fucked it.

I fucking hate AI almost as much as I hate the sniveling asshole billionaires and shithole corporations who have all forced it into every conceivable spot in our lives. It literally makes everything worse and it makes us worse and I fucking hate it.

I assume they have their 100 mio players then, right? Riiiiiight...?

We've gotta make the Monorail Simpsons episode required viewing for every city councilor in the country. Every single thing he says here is a lie. A Potemkin Village Imaginarium.

Hassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."

I don’t want to be too sensationalist about this but also I’m the least violent person in the world and I think if someone said this to my face I’d hit them

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

Ich hab bei einer Telefonumfrage mitgemacht, bei der Antwort ob ich "Männlich oder Weiblich" wäre, habe ich nachgefragt, ob das alle Möglichkeiten wären. "Männlich oder Weiblich" wurde wiederholt. Als ich gesagt habe, dass ich mich "nicht repräsentiert fühle", konnte ich plötzlich "Divers" haben.

Elon Musk, owner of X, has called the editor of the Economist "a traitor to the West, plain and simple" after her recent interview with him. He now argues that "anyone who opposes remigration is a traitor" Musk has been socialising violence since Aug25: "fight or die, that's what it comes down to"

Islamfaschisten töten. Und es ist in keinster Weise pietätlos, jetzt darauf hinzuweisen, dass der Innenminister Taliban mit Diplomatenpässen ausgestattet hat — auch in Berlin — und mit ihnen an einem Tisch sitzt, um Menschen — auch Frauen — in die Hände dieser Mörderbande abzuschieben.

The female ticket inspector in my SBB train helped a mother and her baby, and when the mother was very grateful to her she replied "You're welcome, we should really help each other more". Another woman close to it was audibly moved and commented with "Aww that's so sweet". That was so wholesome 🥹

Das moderne Leben verspricht uns Kontrolle in allen Lebens­lagen. Doch was viel wichtiger wäre: Vertrauen, dass es gut kommt. Auch wenn wir grad nicht wissen, wie.

Können wir noch vertrauen?

I’m not sure I like this new world where we write software for other software to use. What’s even the point of it?

Wow, gender affirming care
