josh,“lobstereo”, walking about well-wadded with stupidity

annoying reading articles where it’s clear that the writers entire frame of reference is substack essays, their entire frame of reference should be bluesky posts like me 👍

little bit bored of explaining this now but once again, and potato do please listen this time, if the stick is up to this size then it’s your fetching stick and will be thrown, but if it’s any larger then it’s my shadow batting stick and will not be thrown and do not look at me like i ought to

look at those pathetic drones piling into the latest cafe to blow up on tiktok. if an algorithm told them jumping off a big cliff was the latest viral trend they’d just go right along with it i bet……no but the honey cake is good tbf

slightly reminiscent of the “spoilers actually improve your experience!!!”research literature where what you are really testing is what is more agreeable to encounter in rudimentary experimental conditions www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

AI-generated stories rated better quality than human-written ones, study finds

Researcher says simpler writing by AI is easier to read and digest, but this does not mean human authors are obsolete

getting the pervert glasses so i can take photos of stuff i encounter in my life without my wife seeing me do so and asking me in a mocking voice “oh is someone doing a bluesky post…and what 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘺 caption will you adding later then?”

yes i can see how my voice might lead you to that assumption but no i’m not just visiting for the fringe, i’ve lived here for five years now….surprised you didn’t pick that up from my confident mastery of the pedestrian light patterns actually

oh no i haven’t heard of them, but that doesn’t say much…..you see i try to retain as little as possible now so i can focus on recalling the crimes of every annoying freelance journalist on twitter between 2015-2024

cognitive behaviour therapy enjoyer whose bus hasn’t moved in ages: think positively. maybe there’s an emergency to attend to. perhaps a driver has had a health incident. what if their vehicle is discovered to be unsafe. white van owner: im da king of parking in the bus lane

generally you can tell if people actually liked a writer if they have lines or passages that immediately come to mind instead of vague descriptive platitudes. martin amis for example was a massive nob but you could name a bunch of his easily.

fond memories of tony pulis arguing that he needed to avoid a driving ban as the personal disruption of him not being able to drive could risk relegating stoke and thus negatively impact the community, while if he hired a driver then they could leak transfer to the press and cost the club millions

I recognise the specific context here but “Please, I need my car to meet criminals” is a very funny plea for leniency.

emily wilson has also penned a vicious review of richard e grant’s odyssey themed travel show on channel 4 claiming that she would be “embarrassed to have ordered any of that seafood“
