i think a lot of people who were not alive or old enough to be really cognizant when smoking got banned indoors have a memory of just how fucking bad everyone and everyone smelled all the time

The New York Times@nytimes.com · 5mo agoThinking of saying goodbye to big-city life? In these smaller U.S. metros, job opportunities abound and a higher quality of life awaits, according to a new study. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/19/r...
DF is throwing their goodwill directly into the furnaces powering AI data centers. This glowing appraisal of DLSS 5 reeks and is beyond disappointing from a group known for critiquing even the most mild of image quality issues.
Digital Foundry@digitalfoundry.bsky.social · 5mo agoWe've brought back our "zoomer" screenshot tool and loaded up a range of DLSS 5 on/off comparisons from a range of games. Check it out: www.digitalfoundry.net/features/nvi...
It's true. US pilots are only okay with domestic murdering of school children. It's the one tradition they don't think we should export. No one knows if that belief is a requirement to become a US pilot or becoming a US pilot makes you believe that.
Jade Fortunato@jadedfortunato.bsky.social · 5mo agoSo the US and IDF are not the same. The IDF I consider genocidal. Having served with US pilots, however, I’ve not met any that would be fine with international murdering school children.
I left my favorite GI Joe action figure in a room with other toys to find out what they're thinking and report back to me. I bet they're contemplating consciousness or discussing the meaning of identity!
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 6mo agoWhat is Moltbook, the A.I.-only social network? Is it an overhyped gimmick? Or the start of what some have called the future of the internet? Our reporter sent her own A.I. personal assistant to find out.
I agree that the "own nothing, rent everything" group will take advantage of the situation, but I feel like the shortages are more so a side effect of short sighted rushes to get in on the bubble than any kind of intentional strategy. They're just too dumb and greedy to see how this backfires.
The PS1 startup sound as a lesbian@janus.bsky.social · 6mo agoi think lots of people underestimate how badly these “AI” companies want people to be unable to afford computers. they view personal computing as a roadblock to their desire for complete end-to-end centralization. the fact that their tech is putting hardware out of reach is not just a happy accident
Relatedly, I hate seeing posts with asterisks in sensitive words, like suicide. It doesn't obscure the word enough for people trying to avoid the subject and circumvents muted word lists so those people now are seeing something they've tried to avoid.
Parker Molloy@parkermolloy.com · 6mo agoNow that TikTok has changed ownership in the U.S., it's as good a time as ever to again say how much I truly hate algospeak euphemisms like "unalived" and whatnot. I wish people would knock that off.
An important lesson in all of this is that if you only know someone for movies they've been in and the glamour shots that show up in a search, you should at least read their wiki page before eulogizing them. Especially if their filmography ends 50 years ago.
Pop Base@popbase.tv · 7mo agoChappell Roan shares follow-up story after deleting Brigitte Bardot tribute post: “Holy shit i did not know all that insane shit Ms. Bardot stood for obvs I do not condone this. very disappointing to learn.”
Cheez-It Citrus Bowl? Ew. That sounds disgusting. College football fans have freaky pallets.
Everyone else has covered the tone and premise of this blurb, but can we also bully Thë Nêw Yōrkér for continuing to use a diaeresis on words like 'reenter'? It looks obnoxious. Just drop it or use a hyphen like everyone else in American English.

I will never be able to find a toy more engaging, more enthralling to my cat Banana Nut than casting a shadow of my hand on the floor and wiggling my fingers. His sole purpose on earth is to hunt shadows and he is dedicated to this mission.

It's so nice that when they heard we are going to eat the rich, they decided to become wagyu.

This is written like the victim was the equivalent of a banana peel that threw itself in Gaetz's path for him to have an unfortunate slip. The level of engineering and creativity that goes into constructing the English language like this is as impressive as it is disgusting.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 9mo agoA teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9
I'd love to hear @illconceivedpodcast.com discuss the framing of population decline by grouping countries by GDP. As if the GDP of those top 15 countries isn't buoyed significantly by the exploitation of the bottom countries.
NPR@npr.org · 9mo agoFamily size around the world is dropping. That choice by couples is triggering a population shift that's sending shock waves through economies.
I want to see Trump's clock drawing. It's probably the second most disturbing drawing he has made since the Epstein birthday card.
Sky Marchini@sky.skymarchini.net · 9mo agoThis is the test Trump is referring to, the Montreal cognitive assessment. It is used to assess brain functioning impairment (such as after strokes or in Alzheimer’s en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montrea...) Why would they administer this test to Trump.
The ones that aren't out there shooting dogs or kidnapping random brown people are just too cowardly to do it themselves, so they have to settle for simply enabling those acts. In years prior some could have been described as the banality of evil but now every member is just as complicit.
Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 10mo agoLook, maybe not *all* ICE and CBP agents are bloodthirsty psychopaths, but there are plenty of stories like this one and the rest of them sure as shit don't seem to mind, so ...
I always hope people like Charlie Kirk would die but not in a targeted way. Car accidents, perforated colon from an enema gone wrong, de-orbited Starlink to the dome, slipping on a banana peel they themselves tossed on the ground. The kind of thing normal people laugh at and the right ignores.
By Kavanaugh's reasoning, cops should have the right to enter any home where a man is with children he knows or is familiar with because most CSA is done in home by men that the children know. And it would only be a "brief encounter" with no harm or inconvenience!
Chris Geidner@chrisgeidner.bsky.social · 11mo agoOnly Justice Kavanaugh even bothers to write anything to justify this horrifying action. And it is not in any way reassuring.
Both Dog Mode and FSD are so dangerous because they are designed and marketed more to be convenient and trustworthy than reliable. When a failure results in death or injury, we can only blame Tesla as the users were simply taking them at their word.
Erica Squires@ericasquires.bsky.social · 11mo ago@milesklee.bsky.social 😩 Tesla dog mode failed and killed a dog trainer's dog
Wearing glasses for the first time in months and anytime someone points it out I look at them with concern and say "Buddy. I wear glasses *every* day."
This is just a setup to another mea culpa video in a few weeks, right? There's no other explanation for making a 20 minute video about how AI is making people dumber sponsored by an AI news aggregator. It's too on the nose for anything else.

ACAB includes Ando the retired explosives detection dog.
WeRateDogs@weratedogs.com · last yr.This is Ando. He's been a high-risk explosives detection dog for 6 years, and last week he celebrated his final day on the job. His coworkers threw him a surprise retirement party by showering him with dummies, a special reward that detection dogs are trained to love. 14/10 congratulations Ando
Number one reason I will never be able to go back to working in an office.
Got a new floor fan so I could hopefully use my AC less. Thought it was kind of loud but moved a lot of air so I was okay with it. I just realized it was on low the entire time and setting it to high makes me feel like the metal cage isn't enough to contain the demonic spirit within.
