Broke: Star Trek says humans will abandon all religion in the future. Woke: Dune says religion will continue to be both a source of strength and a tool of control for oppressed peoples. Bespoke: Babylon 5 says we'll get MORE religions, and Jews will have to sort out what alien foods are kosher.

I have found my new favourite meme response for slopists. Ahahahahaha 🤣
There’s a lotta acting going on on Ted Lasso, is all I can say
Just watched a video with Jason Sudeikis saying that it's OK to tip 10% at a diner if the service isn't good and you should leave a note and explain why you tipped poorly. I hope that guy gets the explosive diarrhea worse than anyone else ever has

As a defender of traditional gender roles, I am concerned that Ed is promoting Finding Nemo, where Marlin stays male after his wife died. When the dominant female dies the largest male clownfish turns female. This is basic biology! I don't want my child to grow up confused about clownfish.
Overheard a guy at a concert saying how he's using ai for research & the ai sited a source that hasn't been published yet, which turned out to be HIS own research. "Isn't that EERIE?" he said, "it must have scanned my computer and read my files!" Said like this was a cool thing, not an abysmal thing
This metaphor is completely inaccurate and unfair. To snakes.
Someday soon, everyone will claim to have known this all along.
"A.i." is bullshit. "A.i." detection tools are bullshit. "A.i." in education is bullshit. "A.i." in the arts is bullshit. "A.i." in business and government is bullshit.

Yo you posted this on the wrong social media platform. All we do is talk about how we're broken as hell over here. You're thinking of LinkedIn
On social media, a broad consensus is that you can’t admit to struggle — at least not while you’re struggling. Doing so represents a failure so profound it’s almost existential. How did it become mandatory to demonstrate perpetual growth and progress online?
“…I’ve talked to many dozens of people throughout the U.S. about their relationship to these platforms — not influencers or creators but everyday people, living far from the major coastal cities.” Well that’s not a moronic sampling bias AT ALL.

There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury
The voice-clock sang, breakfast was ejected, but no doors slammed. The garage chimed and lifted its door to reveal the waiting car. The house sat alone in a city of rubble and…

Bambiraptor feinbergi. Possibly a valid genus… possibly a juvenile Saurornitholestes. Possibly none of the above. I spent far too long on this one. I hope it was worth it 🫠 If the scientists could avoid reclassifying Bambi before people have seen this, I’d appreciate it. 😉 #SciArt
Not gonna lie, I remain delighted that Bluesky management hates that the platform was immediately co-opted by artists and queers.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
