DOOM but make it surf rock

This is absolutely amazing.

Enshittification is particularly galling because (in theory, at least), digital technology should be *really* hard to enshittify.

More than half of all internet users have installed an ad-blocker; Doc Searls calls it the largest consumer boycott in history.

I REFUSE TO RESPECT ASTARION FANDOM'S COMMITMENT UNTIL THEY PRODUCE THE EQUIVALENT OF SNAPEWIVES.

I'm partial to this one

Nice campaign by the Norwegian Consumer Council about the declining lifespan of products. Enjoy!

It seems like this is a good time to tell you all why LLMs are never, and can never be, conscious.

I am always blown away by the effort cosplayers put into their work.

The king's adviser is actually a nice guy:

"If economists wished to study the horse, they wouldn’t go and look at horses. They'd sit in their studies and say to themselves, 'What would I do if I were a horse?'" -Ely Devons

Amazon's own balance sheet presents the most compelling evidence that we are stuck in the Enshittocene, the era in which everything is turning into a pile of shit, because the worst ideas of the worst people now make the most money. 1/

In Chicago for the weekend,anyone have any suggestions for good dinner spots?

Perfection.

Finally saw The Odyssey. It’s good! Have you seen it? My main take away: Elliot Page is an absolute badass. Not as an actor, though he is that too. Just as a human being. Consider: Assigned female at birth, he rose to significant fame presenting as an attractive young woman.

Chewing my arm off, bloody foam speckling my lips, screaming. Just screaming, forever.

*uncomfortably* they're calling her the spiderman shitpost nostradamus,

InfoWarriors, repeat these affirmations EVERY day to prepare your mind for battle!

This absolutely explains a whole list of problems I've had with assorted medications I've taken.

Fantastic reporting on the perils of the military industrial complex.

Missouri friends: tomorrow is Election Day and I'm sure you already know to vote NO on amendments 4 and 5 to preserve our citizen-led ballot measure process and prevent a huge statewide sales tax hike, but please also vote YES on 1 to preserve an existing tax for parks and conservation too!

Just saw a photo of Sam Reid before he played Lestat, with short hair and normal people clothes. We need to immediately pass a law banning that man from cutting his hair or letting any straight man dress him. This is a matter of national security.

Nothing like having your flight delayed by three hours right AFTER you get through security.

I adore Witch Hat Atelier. The anime has adapted the manga so beautifully. It's reignited a love for not only creating art but studying it and its history, so I was so happy when @crunchyroll.com reached out to partner on a commission. Please watch WHA! #crunchyrollpartner #witchhatatelier

my little droney assimilation is magic
