As I flail around a bit... Is there anyone out there who would really value a fairly decent set of original Vampire: the Requiem books? I have not cracked the covers of these things in years, and my packrat instincts are problematic, and it'd help if I could sell them to someone who'll love them.

The Babylon 5 fans will probably find this description amusing. RIP

Any excuse to post this monster of a performance. As one of the comments put it, imagine hearing the best live performance you'll ever hear in your life, before you've even started school... www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ul7...

While I'm bopping around the Internet, here's the most useful site ever: thistothat.com

Apple have tucked a usable iPod into Music?! music.apple.com/us/ipod

If you self-host and run PHP on it (which is very likely) you NEED to update it later today, ASAP. A major vulnerability that affects PHP versions since 5 has been found, which allows remote code execution (very bad). You MUST retweet and share with friends who self-host. THIS IS CRITICAL. ⚠️

So treating Chytrid in the wild is surprisingly easy. If you build a sauna, the frogs will seek it out. They sit inside until it gets too hot for them, and then they leave. No other treatments are required

"average person knows 3 guitar chords" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person knows 0 guitar chords. Guitar Georg, who doesn't want to make it cry or sing and knows all the chords, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

We just got a new(ish) printer, and the first test print raises some concerns

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm dying laughing at how the cat has conformed to her flower shaped bed today

This. One of my favorite games is Katamari Damacy. An LLM could never have created that.

I appreciate recipes that give me useful metrics: Cook, stirring, until the mixture is so thick that the spatula can stand in the middle without falling over

I kind of knew early Peanuts was dark, but I didn't really know. (January 5, 1958)

(confused) I believe LLMs are conscious, but only Deepseek LLMs, because of the Chinese Room theory

Pets are demanded

If you want "personalized music" made just for you pick up a fucking guitar. Or else break the heart of someone who already has.

Also, if our TV had to croak, last week was a good time — this is a pretty game

Playing Control Resonant, and it makes it very clear very fast that Manhattan is changed beyond recognition — there are alleys

"We've spent a hundred billion dollars to build a robot to kiss your wife for you. Imagine the time you'll save! The robot is mandatory."

LOOK AT THIS FUCKING SHIT. The easiest way to tell that trans women are women is that the right is so desperate to control what they do with their bodies. WE HAVE EVERYTHING IN COMMON.

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

We're back. The Power Fantasy returns on December 9th, carefully timed to be just after everyone has wrapped their comics of the year lists, so making folks go "Oh - wait, they did those banger two issues in January and February and I forgot, never mind."

Good grief, thanks to a video on Instagram, I've just discovered that the Criterion edition of Lone Wolf & Cub (that I've had on my shelf for about 9 years) has a secret compartment in the spine containing the blueprint for the weaponised babycart..!

Anyone I know bought a TV recently and has a recommendation or an anti-recommendation? (We are not planning to spend a lot, but also don’t need to cheap out. Still, OLED is not for us)

This tech will mature in time.

Good thread that goes into how the “chatbots going rogue” thing actually happens.
