I've had this stupid joke in my head for the past 3 weeks, I had to put it into drawing

A group of 25 Fields Medalists, including myself, have made a joint declaration on Math and AI: mathandai.org . We welcome additional signatories. See also this article in the Economist announcing the declaration: www.economist.com/science-and-...

NEW VIDEO ALERT: It will surprise nobody that the most downvoted Reddit comment of ALL TIME has to do with video games, but did you know it also caused a few federal committees to be formed? youtu.be/P8JMSStr6SU?...

Seventh grade, English. The protagonist of a story we were reading (aloud) was named “Margot”. I pronounced it “MAR-goh” and she insisted it was “MAR-gott” because “it’s science fiction”. Neither of us backed down, but only one of us could send the other to the principal’s office.

"everyone I know uses AI everyd..." "Well everyone I know uses Homestar Runner quotes to communicate affection to loved ones. Get better friends!"

Hmm, Detroit Corvettes?

Jodorowsky's Roadside Picnic.

Jinenger, an eccentric, energetic mountain yam, is an unofficial mascot for Shiroi City.

Oakland. Bates Street. Caller reports a woman chanting outside since sunrise. Caller doesn't like this. Happy Ostara.

I'd never seen the play before and this has totally spoiled me for it. I watched some clips of other versions and the actors seem half asleep in comparison.

Been re-reading Calvin & Hobbes and the art really is next level. Amazing expressions, dynamic poses, great lighting tricks like this one. What a comic.

I watched SATANTANGO a few years ago. I guess the streaming platform didn’t expect content to be that long, because it silently froze at the six hour mark in a totally black, silent moment. I watched it for a full minute before thinking “You know, this seems extreme even for you.” RIP, Béla Tarr.

@dcorsetto.bsky.social Hi! Just wanted to let you know, I think girlswithslingshots.com is down. Haven’t been able to load anything since yesterday.

Reminded of when my family adopted a completely white cat, and we were spitballing ideas on the drive home. “Snowball” “Sugar” Dad: ”Cokey” Mom: “NO”

I get a lot of Republican spam "from" Winsome Earle-Sears, and all I can see in my head is this guy. I did finally look them up, but I will not be updating my mental image at this time.

LinkedIn wants me to nudge my dead uncle to play some games, and Telegram just told me my father-in-law has joined Telegram from beyond the grave. Happy Halloween, I guess. 👻

Guess he read that Jacobin article.

“Starbucks holds nearly $2 billion of customers’ money in its rewards program. That’s more than the total deposits managed by 85 percent of chartered banks, making the coffee chain one of the biggest financial institutions in the country.”

I don’t know how much hearing the Franz Ferdinand show cost me, but it was totally worth it. My only real regret is not being down in the pit for Take Me Out, because that looked like a blast.

It’s just so hard to get good bagels in some places.

"Fix Your Heart or Die: The Startling Empathy of David Lynch"

“Broken Heart” (David Lynch, 2013)

i think every friday will be david lynch day from now on, it won’t be the same without him telling me it’s friday tho :((((

I never understood Winamp people. Why have a little rectangle for my music when I could have THIS??

Scale everyone down about 25%. Everyone immediately becomes cheaper to feed, house, and move around. (I swear I had this idea years before Hank Green’s God video.)

Dang, I’d forgotten how hard the artwork for Phoenix (1983) went. Armored, rocket-firing hawks! Planet-sized bird temples! EXPLOSIONS!

Yoshi’s Island (1995) stands out because something was broken with our SNES (or TV?) and it couldn’t show color. I played the entire first world in grayscale before we fixed it. Seeing the game in full color for the first time was mind-blowing.

Great news for my Hole Family.
