[first draft of "My Girl"] Dan Aykroyd: Darling. I'm so sorry you lost your friend. But he had to die so the bees could live. He made bees big He made bees strong! Big strong bees live now, darling. Big strong bees.

Wait, hold up, One Night Only, the rom-com set in a dystopian society where pre-martial sex is outlawed 364 days a year, ends with a character saying “Maybe the fascists were right about this”? Christ on a bike. Well, that killed any interest stone dead.
1. I will never understand how people can stop watching someone’s movies or TV shows, or stop listening to their music, if they so much as hit the like button on a conservative’s post, but will keep supporting Scientologists.
Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.
Boutros acknowledges 'mistakes' in 'Broadview 6' case but says sanctions, special counsel aren't needed

As far as mush-brained defense of AI, this is the mushest lmao
There is a lengthy pro-AI screed in the latest HWA newsletter and it is . . . a mood.
AI killed what was left of our culture, and now it's wiping its nasty ass with it
It's impossible to miss how AI has fucked up every digital interaction, and the awful, bile-inducing "art" is everywhere, but until my son started pointing it out, I had not realized how much AI-generated music there is being played in public
I've never used ChatGPT. If I'm absolutely honest, although I've heard of Claude, I'm not 100% sure what it is. I've never knowingly used an #AI tool. To me, this post reads like 'If pre-sliced cheese was suddenly banned, would you even know how to slice cheese manually?'
Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak
"No one's sure why" because we have perfectly good computers sitting around that can't upgrade to Windows 11 and all the new hardware costs too much that's why
it is, at long last, the Year of Linux on the Desktop. www.techspot.com/news/113326-...
Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

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.

The ownership class at this point is doing this fucked-up Joker “ha-HAA are you gonna kill us yet? Are you?? How about NOW???” thing and then they’re gonna act all indignant and incensed the next time someone shoots a CEO in broad daylight.
Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing
Just discovered that Ice Cream Man uses AI generated imagery a lot. Any movie that does that has a one-way ticket to a place on my skip list. Fuck you, Eli.
Echo the Australian magpie annoying a tuxedo cat named Gilbert in Thames, New Zealand. The pair are known to be friends, though the magpie is often described as an annoying sibling that frequently pushes limits. They are part of a group called "Tuxedoes Unite" located in Karangahake, New Zealand.

This project would be delayed for 7 years with endless environmental review, community outreach, and ultimately be killed when the state of Washington doesn’t commit to building the power lines for the next 9 years. Good for Massachusetts though (I’m jealous)
Massachusetts farm installs 832 solar panels above berry fields, and the berries grown underneath turned out sweeter and juicier and could change the future of American farming - The Economic Times share.google/GDGqQBgisqhG...
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.
XTC vs. a dog's ass content versus butt beatle-based pop versus a dog's pooper there is no right or wrong
