If Splatoon raiders and donkey Kong bananza only teach us one thing, it's that someone at the switch 2 team has a cave fetish.

"What would you do if AI suddenly disappeared?" The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world! Or just live my life as I normally do because I don't outsource my cognitive abilities to autocomplete with delusions of grandeur.

You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.

Was teaching my kids to disrespect the surveillance state, as you do, and then I heard a show about smart glasses. Kids, disrespect them too.

A dark day for human rights.

I realize the overlap of parents who use chatgpt for everything and people who see their kids as objects they acquired for the sake of appearances and don't really want to meaninfully engage with is a circle, but this is still so grim. They can't even chat with their kids on the morning school run?

Reading Tress of the Emerald Sea and I feel like Brando Sando is at his best when he is just fucking around.

Friendly reminder: Don’t label despicable people with medical or physical conditions they don’t have Having a physical difference (like cleft scars) is not a character flaw. Neither is ‘bed wetting’ nor ‘mouth-breathing’ Talk about how they are despicable, don’t use some feature others can’t help

The post-credits scene of EBENEZER reveals the "what day is it" boy to be Oliver Twist, launching Phase 1 of the Dickensverse.

A conversation about public transport just showed up on my feed and I'm not wading in because fuck that. But public transport should be good and cheap to the user. And government money isn't real so the reasons this can't happen are entirely made up.

The Oxford has trans in relation to sex/gender as an adjective from 1973, and transsexual as an adjective from from 1907 but go off I guess

I am once again begging journlists to ask a linguist before they publish hot takes about language. #linguistics CW: JKR, so there is transphobia, OBVIOUSLY.

bloomberg has a fun article today arguing that the Cybertruck is the biggest flop in automotive history. it includes this glorious graph.

You can kill a French vampire with a baguette. It's a painstaking process but it works.

I don't normally entirely nope out of a book due to bad worldbuilding but wdym "this society has no iron, so they make their swords out of copper, tin, and aluminum." No, not an alloy of them, that would make sense. Whole aluminum swords. Not naming names but woof girl NO

Have they always sent out individualised NAPLAN results? I thought the point of NAPLAN was system wide statistical analysis, not single point analysis?

Just a reminder, Johnny Depp lost in court about being a domestic spouse abuser...he won in court that his abused ex-wife can't talk about it.

I have never worked in an RM Williams industry before. Other people make shoes guys.

I need every single person who’s trying to fill a hole in their soul via the pursuit of money to see how utterly useless it is as a salve. You’ll still be this unhappy as a billionaire. Be a normal person and fill that void by mildly entertaining teenagers with weird games.

The Bob Smith/Olivia Rodrigo duet is better than I'd have expected

NEW: I wrote for MSNBC about how Madison Square Garden turning off their facial recognition cameras for Taylor Swift is a perfect encapsulation of our dystopian present: where the wealthy can use surveillance to consolidate power, and the rest of us live in a privately owned panopticon.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got to buy MSG's privacy. Her fans aren't so lucky.

Reports that Madison Square Garden temporarily shut off its facial recognition system for Swift’s wedding expose a glaring problem with how the elite wield and control mass surveillance.

Perfect illustration of the AI deskilling project trap. If you want to pretend these things are a tool (they're not) then you're completely beholden to having your tools changed or taken away by a black box system that changes on a whim. You're now completely reliant on the thing they took away.

Was trying to find a post someone made about this, but can't, it goes something like "Year is 2387, humanity is long gone, solar powered AIs keep crunching out sequels to Shrek to rave reviews by AIs"

Part of me secretly hopes they kept my old twitter and fed it into their ai and that's part of why it's so fucked. I just made up bullshit and put a fact hashtag on it all the time. For lols, and it was obvious to a human, but not to a grok

Since shai hulud cancelled due to low ticket sales I've been buying tickets to shows I can afford so I'm going to southern ritual and respect the rock Australia (mortiis/nyttland/tie and the hellacopters/gluecifer)
