I hate gay Halloween what do you mean you’re the taxidermied crocodile from Ken Russell’s controversial masterpiece The Devils

Putting together a conference on “tangible computing” — DM if you’d like to give a 10, 20, or 30 minute talk :-) In NYC / late November / early December 🎉

Can't believe they're spending billions on GMO war dogs and I can't get a cent for fluffy domesticated capybaras

I haven't seen anyone on here suggesting that the PHP vuln was an intentional backdoor installed at the behest of the Mossad, are they posting about this on "X"?

wonderful news. Go see Ken Russell's The Devils on the biggest screen you can find, it's a rare treat and a masterpiece

the claude website saying "claude is AI and can make mistakes" instead of "claude is *an* AI and can make mistakes" is a sign of an interesting ongoing revision to our culture's conception of "artificial intelligence"; no longer understood to be a thing, rather a kind of stuff

on thursday at 2pm pacific am doing attempt #2 at making homer's nacho hat. it worked out well last time except i couldnt get it off the cake pan and i feel like i got close enough that i just had to try again... i mean look at it

If you liked The Devils, check out some other films by British sickos:

I've heard you can lose just as much weight with GLP-1-flash and separate plan/execution phases

The name of New Mexico is funny because it's one of those things that you'd think is really simple (oh, it's it used to be part of old Mexico, so we'll call it New Mexico!), but it's much more complex New Mexico as the name for the area predates Mexico by several hundred years!

While we're talking The Devils, some flowers for Georgina Hale, an arresting presence I wish the movies had done more with.

Tickets are on sale for next week's Brooklyn Web Workers! pools.events/event/uJCK3C...

the web is like this big mirror we hold up to ourselves and point at accusingly

Some people were making me mad on the internet so I wrote a blog post about it. On the different reasons for people have for being left wing and how people manage the psychological tensions of the fact that they come apart. sootyempiric.blogspot.com/2026/10/the-...

In the backrooms, fleeing from a grotesque caricature of myself, but it’s easy because my Heelys are real and his are all lumpy and weird

I have a new answer for "movie remade with all-muppet cast"

only man who can get me hype about flying cars is avery brooks

the biggest open problem in ai safety is how do you get ai researchers and ai safety researchers to stop collaborating with fascists

This is my review of "Digger"

1) Tech workers are worried about the consequences of AI and finding themselves at political odds with company leadership and actions. So they’re organizing ✊ @kqednews.kqed.org @techworkerscoalition.org www.kqed.org/news/1209574...

You can pay $3500 to see Buckcherry play with a symphony orchestra in Greece; the tour company has also booked Wayne Newton, Ambrosia, and a Beatles tribute act. Wondering about the orchestra that does this and suddenly had vision of Tár 2 trailer set to symphonic version of "Crazy Bitch"

Ok, I figured it out: the mechanical bird _is_ conscious, but only when you're turning the crank

Checks out wordsky.app

Actually, it's [the same thing you said, expressed more emotively], dumbass

Heard you liked movies about "diggers" that feature an impossible-to-stage lavish theatrical production, set during a period of intense squalor and deprivation

Look, I am very enthusiastic about the mayor, but he's already demonstrated that "you can just do things" is clearly false wrt the NYPD and Netanyahu, and the horse carriage ban was attempted by DeBlasio years ago, succeeeding now partly because a tourist was recently killed

also i submit that "weird 'gifted' kid" is kind of a social script; it's how you interface to the normies like you use a word that's too big or something and it makes them feel uncomfortable so you lean into some kind of clown act so they don't feel as threatened; ie "weird" is quasi-performative

In an earlier era there would be 20 different blogs scrambling to publish posts titled “The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle” and Letterman would be making one of his crew go into the store and keep asking “ehhhh… how much for the bird?” Videogum would have a “You Can Make It Up”. We used to be a country.

I am interpreting this image as a giant hedgehog with a tree in the background

I wasn't even aware that I, as an Italian- American, was supposed to celebrate Columbus, until the Sopranos episode

Everyone in creative work for hire knows most of the job is clients asking you for something bad and stupid and you figuring out how to make something completely different while convincing them it's what they asked for. The AI era means everyone gets to see what clients actually want

I think that 30 Rock made the right choice in making TGS bad instead of good, but I would have struggled if 80% of the running time was TGS sketches

I think a lot about the scene in Halloween when Laurie Strode is desperately banging on the doors of all her neighbors in white suburbia when she is being stalked by a homicidal maniac. They see her, shut off their porch light and do exactly nothing to help her.
