Finally watching the latest @mikeflanaganfilm.com joint, Carrie. It does not disappoint. Great acting while just dripping with dread. The most surprising thing is Samantha Sloyan, though. Her work is always stellar, but her performance is subtle and she makes this character - super sympathetic?

Kinggath Creations strikes again - FEVer Dreams is out now, download it for Fallout 4 on all platforms for free! creations.bethesda.net/en/fallout4/... Original voice actors return as Nate and Nora!

I suspect some “AI productivity gains” in tech are actually people being overworked in a bad job market. Uber laid off 3,300 workers this month after employees complained about too much coordination. Its CEO also says employees should answer weekend emails and “don’t come here if you want to coast”

Didn’t have the greatest summer gardening season this year, but I’m still really proud of this monster globe basil plant I grew from seed. Amazing what happens when you prune something correctly.

The doomsday stuff from AI researchers is so annoying. It’s like hey the weirdest guy you know keeps saying he’s going to blow up your house. He won’t show you the bomb. Every time he does this he gets another $1,000. But also he might do it. Wyd?

fwiw this is terrible survey design if what you are trying to capture are addictive or counterproductive behaviors. it makes no distinction, for example, between a guy who spends a few hours each week playing madden and a guy who has no other interests other than obsessive gaming

@wmata.com You really have to do something about these D60 buses stopping for breaks in front of stop 1001220 at Franklin Park. They block the D24, A49, and D6X buses from being able to pull over or even see people waiting and they skip the stop. It’s ridiculous

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:

The wondrous Aronia berry. All this from one tree/bush. I’ll make it into jam on another day when I’m feeling more motivated

Furious that Chris Nolan would disregard historical accuracy in adapting The Odyssey by making a "movie" with "cameras" instead of memorizing the entire story and then going on a nationwide tour to sing it to us while tripping on ergotized barley

An ode to tomato season

What people unfamiliar with UK culture don't realize is that there's a Dalek hidden inside this seemingly benign "Binface" and its policies all boil down to EXTERMINATE

What an incredible 40 hours! Massive cheers to all the creators who worked hard to make this mod possible! 💙 Check out "Double Feature" TODAY- including a new dungeon by the Concord Stories team & Evanbaker3617! Amazing job to everyone involved! www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mod...

*dipping a coffee mug into the reflecting pool, then turning to cameras* RFK Jr.: It's perfectly fine. It tastes like grass Trump: I think you've crossed a line for me

Looking for a job has become an alienating humiliation ritual: defector.com/looking-for-...

My tomatoes have gotten out of hand. I have spent so long trying to pull all of the suckers off of them and yet they keep growing like crazy. This is the first year I’ve had this problem to this kind of degree. #gardening

So I drank the algae from the Reflecting Pool and now I can hear the color strawberry

If this does not become a killer meme then I will be disappointed in the entire internet.

I’m definitely getting old because I find it infuriating when I can’t hear the music in my headphones because somebody on the bus is blasting tik toks from their phone so loud it drowns it out

Hmmmm

A friend of mine is facing eviction this week unless a miracle happens. There isn't enough time to organize a fundraiser, so I'm sharing their Ko-fi in case anyone is able to help. Any support, no matter how small, could make a difference. ko-fi.com/JustWanya Please share WILDLY. NOW!

the most surreal thing about this era of open yelling about masculinity is that, if you grew up anything like I did, you were exposed to several sets of standards of masculinity and would be hard pressed to identify which of them the Paxtons and Millers of the world are living up to

Off to a decent start at the community garden here in DC - garlic scapes just starting to appear, tomatoes with plenty of blossoms, and I have three surviving pepper plants by the looks of it. Echinacea, as always, is invincible, and my blackberries are just starting to ripen. #gardening

This 1952 memo from the Pentagon UFO files is superb There is no point preparing for aliens ‘because no one of consequence is going to take this rubbish seriously unless it happens. At that point, our policy will be determined in the traditional manner of grand panic.’ 🤣 www.war.gov/medialink/uf...

lol, they gave Artemis II astronaut (and Philadelphia sports fan) Christina Koch an astronaut Gritty

The way things are right now I wouldn’t even blink if someone confirmed that all hyraxes are AI-generated, somehow even the ones I’ve seen at the zoo.

I had a physical recently and the doctor did the cognitive test and I started laughing repeating the words back because I was thinking about Trump being so proud of herself and the doctor was like yeah everyone does that now.

@wmata.com You need to do something about the chaotic situation at bus stop 1001220 at Franklin Park. Regularly there is a line of D60 and D6X buses backed up there and the D24 drivers just drive right past and don’t stop or bother to pull over when there are people waiting. It happened again today!

I am dough-lighted to meet you! 🥐 This is Mr. Croissant- a Mr. Handy NPC you could have the pleasure of meeting in Concord Stories! You butter believe it! Crust me, he's fabulous😉 Designed by @captain-ultima.bsky.social and @greenFoxel.bsky.social 🥐

Tim Curry, the absolute legend, turns 80 today. This man took huge swings.

Quite a flex to turn up at the presidential palace, get him to confirm you as prime minister, call him unfit to serve with no moral authority, tell him to resign, and then pose for a picture

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

Everyone please welcome CBS News Immigration Analyst Viktor Orban.

Happy Easter! Hope the Easter kaiju visits you all.

The worst part of April Fool’s Day is trying to do a crossword puzzle. Come on dudes, let me have my one zen moment during my lunch break.

the actual DOGE

Great new trailer for Concord Stories - the new DLC sized mod for Fallout 4 that dramatically expands a feature of Sim Settlement 2. It’s full of new quests and content. I’ve done a little bit of work on this one and it’s really taking shape in an exciting way! youtu.be/60d_NWHrA64?...
