Uptown visiting fam and this K-Grocer is playing non-stop bangers (they played the new Illit into NMIXX into ARTMS into GG into Wondergirls into BP & NMIXX again (did I have a Pavlovian response to Blue Valentine? who's to say) before getting to TWICE)

The Petra Parker / Trans Peter Parker fanart meme is delightful and feels perfectly calibrated for an app populated with comics refugees Let's hope it never breaks containment 🤞

The entire Clippers/Kawhi thing is very 2026. If you’re rich, you can (apparently) do whatever you want. If you’re involved in a scandal, it might even advance your career. If you’re the press, you’ll get vilified for exposing it.

this implies koreans didn't experience racism before kwave shit got popular--that's not true. all that cultural shift did was create more opportunities for racism, this time in the form of fetishization. largely the most racist, infantilizing, fetishizing people on earth are international kpop fans.

This isn't a problem if you don't care about the end result. My experience testing stuff has consistently been "AI punishes for caring too much". It's great if you don't care, but if you want tons of stuff and don't care, there is a good chance you're trying scam people or something :)

SCOOP: 404 Media placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it. What did we find? It ended up at an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books. Yes. This is literally the logo outside the Amazon warehouse door. Read now:
