Little dog in a big world

Ugh, people who refuse to acknowledge that AI might actually be dangerous are starting to sound just like climate deniers. "THEY'RE ONLY SAYING IT'S DANGEROUS BECAUSE THEY WILL SOMEHOW MAKE MORE MONEY THAT WAY!!"

Just finished this by @johnhiggs.bsky.social. How crazy, a book ©2012 put on audio in 2024, I happen to listen to it *just* as one of my podcasts drops an episode discussing *eating hotdogs without buns*, and then I jump back into this book and hear about Discordian catmas against hot dog buns?

Dear God (or whatever), you took Dolly and Tim Curry. At least do us a solid on the 1946 trifecta?

Good morning from the only county in VA that matters :)

Hi @chuckwendig.bsky.social I have an important apple question.

KrakenUOpen

Square white buttons, so hot right now.

Hi @wilwheaton.net I just got this YT ad which is clearly using AI clone of Brett Spiner’s voice. He doesn’t appear to be on socials, any way you can pass this along so his lawyers can go after the bastards? #startrek

My father was an avid photographer, a firefighter, and a Redskins fan. He managed to get sideline access to a few games in 1973, and after he passed away last year I found these prints pictures he shot of Sonny Jurgensen in his collection.

Meanwhile on Facebook, the "Goths Against Cancel Culture" group just posted a whole list of ways you can get banned from their group for hurting someone's feelings. #goth

Hey @bsky.app I am suddenly having an issue where I open a video here and then all the controls are locked and the video will play, but I have no way to close it and get back out of that post, and have to force quit the (iPhone) app.

Wasn't Israel using AI to figure out where Hamas members lived so it could bomb their homes (full of many other civilians) because they were less fortified than Hamas bunkers?

He needs the signs to remind him where he is.

Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen — Blue Oyster Cult* VNV Nation*+ Weird Al Yankovic* Lady Gaga* Placebo* *multiple times +produced and promoted shows

I would love Bungie to actually make an updated single-player campaign of Marathon, as I have zero interest in the mutli-player BS they're planning to release using the name.

15 years ago, my egg-salad sandwich that looked like an Alien chestburster.

(moo-ahh)!

I have finally found a way to summarize how it feels when you're trying to argue facts with MAGA trolls.

Uhh…I think we’ll stick to feeding our guys chicken and beef, Chewy.

How different would things be right now if the United States were run by guys whose dicks actually worked properly?

Trying to label "Antifa" as a terrorist organization is basically the same as saying anyone wearing a "Fuck Cancer" shirt is part of a terrorist organization.

This is a moment when @msnbc.com really is missing having at @bencollins.bsky.social to explain things to them.

On a "lighter" subject, I'm wondering if any of the authors on bksy were at the National Book Festival this weekend and heard anything about this? Did this woman *do anything she's not mentioning in her account* or did they literally just decide they didn't like how she looked and kick her out?

I would not be surprised if the answer is that *the only left-wing people he sees on here* are those who have not bothered to block him, who are much more likely to be engaging w/him specifically to be provocative.

It is weird that everyone is assuming this is a left-wing political person that shot Kirk. Sure, it could be, but we have seen plenty of R-on-R violence, the guy who shot at Trump in PA was hoping to make him into a martyr to ignite a civil war and initiate an even more extremist right-wing gov't.

Fall On Me

New office betting pool: How long after Trump dies will they use AI to pretend he is still alive before they get caught?

Dear @bencollins.bsky.social, I have enjoyed and supported your efforts these past few years, but I have to issue a resounding BOOOOOOO at this. You could almost certainly get these bags printed and sewn in the US for just a few $ more per piece, and people who will pay $25 for them will pay $30.

We have always been at war with the Epstein Files. 

Looking for some macro #spider photos I found this meme I made :P

I’m on my way to a show, and it’s exactly the right time of night where the sun can be right in your eyes when you’re driving but also in a spot where you won’t be able to see if you put the visor down.

You know war is really fucked up when you have a strike on a hospital and no one is sure *which side did it*.

Hi @scalzi.com I wonder did you see this story? It's from several weeks ago but I scrolled back in your feed and didn't see a mention. The appearance of the cat makes this feel relevant :) www.newsweek.com/cat-gets-500...

Would be a much better choice. #aiart
