One of the single funniest political moments of my lifetime was when they unveiled the garbage cans at a press conference to Empire State of Mind while Eric Adams was just smiling like a goon. Happy for you guys but as an outsider looking in that was pretty crazy
Bloomberg News@bloomberg.com · 2d agoCould the answer to reducing rats in New York City really be as simple as putting garbage into trash cans? Yes, actually.
holy shit that is incredible marketing copy
depths of wikipedia@depthsofwikipedia.bsky.social · 4d ago![The all-you-can-eat restaurant was introduced in Las Vegas by Herbert "Herb" Cobb McDonald in 1946.[10][11] The buffet was advertised in flyers for only one dollar, and a patron could eat "every possible variety of hot and cold entrees to appease the howling coyote in your innards".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreig3ol5nsk6psuznu3htd24ss54wrsgzn6ozvcb35x5lpemvefjwt4)
spidey is one of maybe two major superheroes that would plausibly deliver unto me a pizza
Micah@rincewind.run · 5d agohe is about as relatable as a dude who swings around on webs can be: kind of a fuckup, girl trouble, overbearing boss, covers up insecurity by being a wiseass, fundamentally a good dude who gives a shit anyway

This carved stone plaque was found in St Francis' Row in Cashel, and it is believed to be the sign for a tavern that was known as The Cat & Bagpipes, that once stood on the main street. It may date to as early as the 16-17th century, and offers a glimpse of Cashel's social life from centuries ago
for whatever reason i typed "14 days aft" instead of "ago" and i'm not entirely opposed to that usage
imagine checking your phone and looking up just in time to avoid hitting a shrub then breathing a sigh of relief only for the shrub to pull a gun

how many people do you think have a “clavicular homicide” joke in their drafts
the doctor's office sent me paperwork stating that i cannot be nude for an upcoming appointment and to please wear shorts or something. (it's a sleep study)
Oh btw I saw this in the wild and thought of you 😄 I do not understand what flavor this was supposed to be.
this sounds and looks insane but i actually really really like "just stab it" as a killswitch
I need Christopher Nolan to keep adapting towering works of literature as a sort of Keynesian stimulus for literary culture.

if this is what they do to their equipment, just imagine what they do to people
David Roberts@volts.wtf · last wk.Really interesting story here. You know how the hyperscaler cowboys are powering their data centers with gas turbines? It turns out the demands of AI are not very friendly to those turbines. They're supposed to last 5+ years & instead they're wearing out in under 12 months!
I agree with the sentiment but are we thinking that expanding humanities academia would lead to *fewer* violent arguments about how to read Homer?
Mateusz Fafinski@calthalas.bsky.social · last wk.Half the planet is having a massive fight about how to correctly interpret an Ancient Greek poem but go ahead, close some more humanities departments.
of COURSE reed is still in his work clothes
Rick@combattlerrickv.exportaud.io · last wk.Every time I am reminded that Marvel passed on a BWS Thing book I get more confused.
I 100% have not changed a single goddamn thing about how I write here in the age of "AI." I write how I write. If the "AI" writes anything like how I write, it's because it stole from me. I'm gonna use any punctuation I like, and if it looks "AI"ish to you, you can go fuck yourself.
Manisha Krishnan@manishakrishnan.bsky.social · last wk.Authors and journalists are doing more first-person (hello 2010s blogging) and embracing "mistakes" in writing to prove they're not chatbots. There's even an “anti-Grammarly" app that leaves in typos and signs off "sent from my iPhone" to create more authenticity: www.wired.com/story/more-t...
