Let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.
Between not really caring to give up space or being able to justify the expense of getting an amp, the bass that I bought decades ago has been sitting in its bag because I couldn't bring myself to get rid of it. When I moved into this place I decided to hang it on the wall as a prompt.
Bill McDermott: The secular tailwinds of digital transformation, cloud computing, and business model innovation have all intersected at the perfect moment in time. Me, a native English speaker: No shit, huh? That's great, Bill. I'm happy for you. And maybe us? Or should I be worried?
This man can draw and write! He can plot out long arcs like nobody’s business but he also coins phrases for the ages. “Mutton is tougher than lamb” should be known by so many more people.
John Allison@badmachinery.com · last mo.Who ARE these people? I love the simple compositions in this comic. I just slapped everything on the page that needed to be there, and it works fine. When I went through this story doing the tiny fixes, I wished I could still draw like this, unencumbered by the need for everything to be "correct",…
Sometimes you love an artist’s work and then they go do other stuff but you don’t get shitty about because you’re happy they feel free to pursue their thing and you’re grateful they ever made stuff you liked. And then they return to doing the stuff you like. That is some great feeling.

There’s a lady in the audience of tonight’s Josh Johnson set that has a laugh I can only describe as operatic.
So grateful for the ability to mute a word/phrase for 24 hours. Everyone really needs to quote tweet their disdain for that simpleton and I'm just tired of seeing her face. Good thing I'm not flying any time soon, I guess.
i remember in 2000, talking with a friend about what i envisioned the Internet being in 10 years, and my prediction was "web sites that load INSTANTLY. like 1 millisecond of loading time. text AND images. full page. bam, right there." and now news sites take like 20 seconds to load 15 TB of ads

Trying not to fall into a hole at the intersection of religious nuts and AI dummies if only to avoid fucking up my YouTube algo, but this little snippet right here at 42 seconds... www.youtube.com/live/Knk2ML0...

I love to see a reporter for a widely-read publication get so dunked on for his incredulity that he turns off comments and disables quote posting. Truly one of a series of incidents making a great start to my Friday.
Timothy Chalmette@little-eff.bsky.social · 2w agoSo far when there’s a bunch incredulous reporting about “OMG the AI did a terrifying thing that nobody could have predicted” it turns out to be a very specific circumstance that was staged to see if an AI would connect some dots, not what was being reported.
Everyone has their own individual sneeze and it’s vitally important to be comfortable with that. Never try to sneeze like somebody else. It will totally fuck you up.
I just saw some shit that has me convinced Fast and Furious fans are not so different from Swifties.
i hate looking at the time and realizing im still awake
It's weird to think we've been on this AI imagery journey for over 10 years. At least back then it was novel and weird enough to be intriguing. Also, I was surprised to find the word slop in use.
Mr and Mrs Smith- this was a work Christmas party thing and I think we bailed after 15 minutes. Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice- Some vendor event. Halfway through I got a call about a user opening a questionable attachment. Could've passed it along, but I was happy to leave.
It's good that this developer put this warning at the beginning of the trailer, but I don't understand being so committed to whatever the thing is that you'd rather put in a warning than just not choose to make your game do that.
I upped the weight and went to curls and military presses, alternating hourly. Figured I'd check to see how my dominant right compared and lol. I'm easily knocking out like 30 reps with my left before my watch buzzes. My right arm is pooped at 20. Crabbing is underway.
Timothy Chalmette@little-eff.bsky.social · 9mo agoWhen my watch says to stand up I pick up the weights by my desk and do reverse wrist curls until it decides that I have stood up. I do this because 1. Fuck you, I just walked to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee and you didn't detect that so it's okay to lie to you. 2. Gonna be a fiddler crab man.🦀
It's been over thirty years and I can't hold it in anymore- that Temple of the Dog song kind of sucks.
I will be, from this point forward, known as “THE GUARDIAN OF DRIVE THRU LINE AT THE DAIQUIRI PLACE AROUND THE CORNER," but as such, and as a matter of FAIRNESS, will be reimbursed, at the rate of the first sip of all daiquiris purchased.
God, when I think of all the times I’ve had my representative issue a similar statement on my behalf…

I thought I could imagine what that "Highlander & Jackass shit" means, but no. I failed that test.
caylen@caylen.bsky.social · 4w agorest in power Bonnie Tyler. absolutely one of the GOATs across your entire catalog you also made the first music video I ever saw: "making out with a shirtless himbo at a video arcade while Highlander & Jackass shit happens for no explicable reason whatsoever" www.youtube.com/watch?v=jm4C...
There’s this mix of “Never Tear Us Apart” that has an extended opening where the string phrase gets repeated a few bars which would be fine, but there’s this weird elision on the loop which is kind of gross. I wonder why it’s there. Was it ten seconds too long and that was the solution?
