I'm sure there's many new movies I would actually enjoy, but there gets to be a certain point in one's life when all they want to do is watch old Italian zombie movies for comfort.

several people have replied saying they miss being bored. ok? put your phone down and go sit in an empty room. what are you talking about

ok but this is actually an appropriate way to honor Bacchus and i think the ancients would have agreed

I'm out here sweating in the theory mines, discussing gender and race and tech, and these chucklefucks just tweet it out.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Would like to one day be this iconic and petty

But the TESCREAList/tech bro future is not one I want any part in and in fact one that I actively resist --- and I hope others will too. >>

Today I was home when an old couple rang the door and suddenly questioned me, asking why I had not accepted Jesus as my lord and savior. I was honestly confused and frustrated. I was just in my house. Maybe there was some confusion, but I was really upset. Is this how some people treat foreigners?

And for those who are not academics: heaving a pile of papers that haven’t gone through peer review and going “here, you sort this out for us and prove us wrong” isn’t scholarship. It’s a hurricane shitting on an earthquake and demanding the professionals come clean it up.

Remember, at its base, the AI boom is about companies telling you they'd rather burn trillions of dollars in a furnace than pay you decent wages in exchange for the ability pursue their sci-fi and slavery fantasies.

“You are infringing on the time and brainpower of people by pushing "your" content that little/no of your brainpower went into” is such a banger

Computers have always been so dumb as to be funny, but I've noticed a definite uptick in "new kinds of stupid" since vibecoding came in.

Big missed chance to use the Benny Hill theme.

Really sucks to be Tokyo this year.

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

"Community" is 97? This is ragebait.

AI has exposed the austerity con game in higher ed. For years, we have been told there is no money for students, faculty, staff, capital improvements, libraries. But somehow universities have suddenly come up with the money to pay for AI services??

when you work at the BPAF but you’re beginning to realize there’s not going to be a successful IPO

Cursed Toyota commercial

ok but "the future" they are promising is "we destroy your jobs and maybe build a dark god of genocide" so perhaps winning these people back is not the wisest electoral move

As a pretty big devotee of Apple products i am the only one who feels like a shark might have been jumped today?

Hahahaha Avatar 💀

Cannabis is like AI, except instead of answering questions, it makes you realize the answers were never that important. Also it makes you more fun to be around.

This dead-eyed attention vampire is the perfect avatar for AI. I hope he and Gemini are both never heard from again. www.theverge.com/tech/988355/...
