If you know anything about this kind of thing happening: No, you fucking don't. You don't even know what a "data center" is. https://www.vice.com/en/article/thieves-are-now-targeting-ai-data-center-construction-sites-for-copper-and-expensive-equipment/

If you're noticing nearly a decade old episodes of Spin-Off Doctors popping up in your podcast players, I'm in the process of restoring episodes lost in our transition from SoundCloud. Apologies if this causes any issues, should be caught up in the next day or so.

It is rather interesting to get notifications for a podcast I haven't listened to in a while. The spin-off doctors. I'm going to have to go back and re-listen to them cuz apparently they're re-popping up on my podcast app. @commandersterling.bsky.social @conradzimmerman.bsky.social

I want a shot-for shot remake of King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters. Tim Heidecker as Steve Wiebe, Eric Warheim as Billy Mitchell and Mark Proksch as Walter Day.

I know in my heart that @commandersterling.bsky.social and I did a Spin-Off Doctors episode on Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, but I cannot find it anywhere. If you, or someone you know, has this episode, I'd appreciate a heads-up.

There's a question to be asked of Abbot and Williams as to what they call people who earn less than $40k a year, but I don't care enough to ask and I don't think they care about those people enough to define them.

I didn't think definitions of "working class" could get worse. I was wrong.

Following years of the general term "Artificial Intelligence" being used to sell the public on plagiarism machines, it's pretty fucking rich whenever people pull the "but what about autocorrect" card. You know what you're doing, you pricks. Stop gaslighting people with better things to think about.

AI proponents have the mistaken impression that people will like a piece of slop and realize that they actually like AI when they find out it's slop. These are people so foolish they must have never once realized they've been lied to and know how people generally respond to that.

Each passing day feels a little bit more like a shitty fanfic prequel to a Philip K. Dick novel.

The first rule of “Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass” is you don’t explain “Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass”

David Wain and Ken Marino's new film, Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass, is a shameless rip-off of Fight Club. No, I will not explain further.

Today's new wrinkle in my ongoing AI robocall saga? Just when I think they can no longer surprise me, they gave the agent a lisp.

Just fixed the timing on my sewing machine for the first time. Feels good.

I think Google Photos has finally figured out that my cat Ramses has died, as it's offered to stop showing me the last photo of him I took the day before his passing. Only took four years. Tell me again how smart our technology is.

Decided on a whim to count my calories for the day. 600 is good, right?

Game publisher announces closure of online storefronts, gets rewarded by flood of people rushing said storefronts to give them money for things they'll quietly take away in a few years. Same as it ever was.

I have passively consumed so many hours of content relating to the stupid LEGO thing YouTube has fixated on that the main corporate guy has started to become indistinguishable to me from a Tim Heidecker character.

I feel like one of the only stable jobs going forward is going to be "blade sharpener"

Enjoying a cup of coffee while casually browsing listings for undeveloped land as the implications for growing awareness of dead internet theory leading to scenarios where any perceived critical engagement with an idea is assumed to be a bot unfurl in my mind.

I am skeptical that Ford laying off 5,300 workers then hiring or rehiring 350 engineers to work across their departments and augmenting AI is some sort of labor win.

If I could have dinner with any fictional character, it'd be BJ Blazkowicz. I'd tell him we're meeting on the convention hall floor wherever CPAC is being held and stand him up.

As a hack writer, the fact that em-dashes and the rule of three have become signifiers of AI demonstrates that they're not just stealing my job, they're ruining all my favorite tools too.

With the state of game dev in 2026, Poncle has a unique position as the premier developer in a genre highly sought for exploitation by major publishers. They may not *need* Epic, but that doesn't mean it's simple to turn down relatively easy money in favor of principles. Good on them.

Wario64@wario64.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Poncle - "Following today's news about gen AI usage by Epic to create all sort of game assets, including Fortnite characters, we're currently "reviewing" our collaboration with Fortnite. We'll let you know if anything moves forward."

When the robocall asked if I "recalled" a prior attempt to rope me into a scam, I replied, "No, I do not recall a time you've tried to rope me into a Medicare scam." Then the robot told me it was adding me to a do not call list and I'm pretty sure it just misheard me use its own language.

"It's just a cute free game," they said. "I trust Nintendo with my data," they said. dronexl.co/2026/06/09/p...

Pokémon Go Scans Quietly Trained The Navigation Tech Now Headed Into Military Drones

Every time I remember that any opinion I could have on Graham Platner is of absolutely zero consequence because I am not a resident of Maine and do not know people in Maine who could be influenced by an opinion of mine and therefore I never have to express one, I feel a little bit lighter.
