Wrong. Goku would simply be disinterested in Road Runner because he displays cunning not strength. Vegeta on the other hand, would spend 5 episodes of B story getting his shit rocked.
sam !@sam.robotsfightingdinosaurs.com · 6d agoanyone who disagrees doesn't know either character. goku isn't known for speed and is canonically a dumbass. wile e coyote is a genius. goku's plan would be to try to outrun it and you can't outrun the roadrunner
MY DAUGHTER: I think Wile E. Coyote was my favorite character. Or maybe Bugs Bunny hahahaha. Dad, who was yours? ME: [calmly but sternly, with the full weight of my decades of cinephilia and overschooling] The single richest character in the history of American cinema is Daffy Duck.
This is cool and probably amazing life saving technology. I simply cannot trust drones though. Obviously I would accept a rescue by one, but I’d be just a little disappointed. Like, “I’m saved… probably!”

Getting closer to looking like a cereal crop field? Still orange kinda, but I don’t think I hate it? My first rookie mistake was choosing such a large canvas. I think after this one I’m going to be buying small practice canvases, softer brushes, and some acrylic medium. #art #painting
Joel Hill@joelh.social · 2w agoI’m aiming for a blue sky meeting a wheat field but I may have painted ocean meeting sand. Also, acrylic needs to calm down and let me blend. Might need a medium? #painting #art

This created a great opportunity for me to tell my kids everything I know about Mothra.
Randy Tutelage@vestigeom.bsky.social · 2w agoWow, okay. These happy meal toys are actually super sick; about as sick as I’m going to be eating enough happy meals to collect them all.
Man, Framework is building some of the coolest laptop tech right now. I'll be shopping for a new laptop in about... 10 years so hopefully they are still around then.

they should make a Blade movie where he has to fight mummies and just has no idea what he's doing
i love when they recover some 3000 year old clay tablet and its something totally relatable like “i hope this tablet finds you well but the group project is a disaster…”

The Iron Man movies did a weirdly good job describing Jarvis as a language model which then only reached AGI when it became Vision. It also portrayed Tony working with Jarvis in a way that closely resembles agentic coding. Which leads me to this question: Was the Iron Man suit vibecoded
I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · last mo.Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
Using a stainless steel pan: oh wow, this is great! Why doesn’t everyone just cook with these? Cleaning a stainless steel pan: oh
You never eat a hotdog so bad it ruins your night? Like, not tummy problems. Emotionally? Like, very disappointing and now you’re wondering what led you to that choice? I did.
In the "sequels better than the original" discussion, you gotta put Honey Nut Cheerios right at the top.
Perhaps one of the best things to happen (so far) from @avilewis.ca winning the NDP leadership is watching the old guard take their masks off.
I love how much of the odyssey is just about the perils of being southern European: - it’s hard to make your buddy be quiet in public so you don’t all get in trouble - sometimes other people are taller than you which is scary
I firmly believe that The Odyssey came out earlier in the year to avoid competing with #CoyoteVsAcme
Every Film Now@everyfilmnow.bsky.social · last mo.Final trailer for ‘COYOTE VS. ACME’ has been released. In theaters August 28. #CoyoteVsAcme
I’m late to the party but I got in at a time when @jay.bsky.team was emailing codes out and it was really cool.
Jake_Vig@jakevig.bsky.social · 2mo agoTomorrow is "Shoutout the Person Who Gave You a Bluesky Invite Code" Day. It was a cool time for cool people to drag other cool people here.
This is the type of leadership I forgot was even possible. Holy hell we have some weak ass people in charge.

I am now almost certain I will finish this sometime this year. If anyone out there can see anything obviously wrong I am open to suggestions but also tired and getting sloppy.
Joel Hill@joelh.social · 2mo agoI have once again underestimated the complexity of a task. This is usually a coding problem, but every once in a while it’s a concrete and iron problem.
