Nerd, film enjoyer, enjoy sci-fi and fantasy. If you like Pratchett we'll probably get along. 🏳️🌈
Solar eclipse coming up so here’s one of my favourite maps
Somehow things that would have been a background gag in a Verhoeven movie are now just real
This is the exact same behavior I saw with cheaters on steam. They couldn’t believe everyone else wasn’t cheating. They were sure everyone else was cheating but just hadn’t been caught. It’s cool to see this mental defect move from 15 year old boys to powering our economy….
My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.
Congrats to everyone who got a shoutout in the Telegraph today, although I don't know where they got the idea that Bluesky is a place where people are kind to each other. This is site is not kind. This is a PvP server where you get randomly matched with an American who has misunderstood your joke.
I was wondering why I’d got 19 clickthroughs from The Daily Telegraph…
Maybe this existed before, with defence contractors or something? But you'd never get Unilever leaking stories where Domestos burnt through six floors of a block of flats & melted a cat's face after a cleaner missed the toilet bowl with it
Due to popular request... the oscilloscope can produce mind-boggling effects 2.0 (Kiwi edition)

i cannot get over how funny the moderation tag on this is

The powerpuff girls once broke into Townsville Prison and beat Mojo-Jojo until his brain was exposed for no good reason

I'd rather fight Batman because he doesn't kill. The Powerpuff Girls have made no such promises.
Replacing the dumb speech recognition in my phone with an extremely smart LLM is working out spectacularly
Star Wars is officially getting a Welsh-language dub this Christmas, with Matthew Rhys, Rhys Ifans, and more lending their voices to a galaxy far, far away. Read more: www.empireonline.com/movies...
Turn a film into a film about shitting yourself by adding a letter: Logan's Runs
Unironically? I'd set it in the 1800s with Jaws hunting an old whaling ship. Show the horror of industrial whaling and the working conditions on those hellish floating factories, then have Jaws rip it all to shreds while toxic masculine whale hunters try and fail to kill something that fights back.
let's pretend: Universal announces a screenwriting contest for Jaws 5. What's your pitch?
Yes I acknowledge it makes sense in context but “I need my car to meet criminals” is now my favourite basis for an attempted exceptional hardship plea. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
my jaw was on the floor. my ass was on the edge of my seat. my legs were akimbo. my nose was in a book. one foot was in the door and the other was in my mouth. my left hand was washing the right. my right hand didn't know what the other was doing. my ears were to the ground. and my eyes were up here
A bit of a more unique post: The site's ChatGPT source prevention screen!
Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.
lmao this is a truly world class Take she isn’t even talking just video games here, this is a blanket ban on sports, board games, cards, darts, all of it
This may sound radical but "games are shit" is actually the median opinion of every Gamer.
For writers worried that they won't be able to "prove" their work isn't Spicy Autocomplete--worry not. You thought about every choice and will be able to talk about those choices easily and clearly. Folks who used the slop machine didn't make choices and won't have anything to say about why
Median UK voter in 2026, as predicted by Hugh Laurie some decades ago:
Rod Liddle was very much like Marmite, in that you wouldn’t want him on your television screen, radio, or newspaper.
Covid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.
never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.
