The Super Porp keeps flowing no matter what. We are not ramping down. We are just getting started. Nothing stops this train. Nothing. I am the one who Porps.

ended off with watching Evergreen and Astral Plane last night and What The Fuck Holy Shit that was a one-two punch, oh my god. also, i knew finn loses his arm at some point, but he GREW IT BACK??? SO HE'S GOING TO LOSE IT AGAIN??? I'M

oh shit apparently i have 200 followers now. i think 2 or 3 of them are even real people and not just scam bots

genuinely insulted that the fast food industry thinks i could ever be satisfied by three chicken tenders

a three tender meal is suitable only for a child, fit perhaps to be served alongside a thimble of Hi-C and the weird square fries at the bottom of the cup. i am an adult ordering an adult meal for my busy adult life, and i require more complete nourishment

i spent a wretched month working at walmart back in [checks resume] 2026

honestly re: reverse engineering it just kinda blows to see your fun hobby get completely blown up by AI shit and people who love the slop machine because it's faster. AI art and shit at least *most* people correctly loathe + shun it, but too many people think that code isn't similarly creative.

question for the audience: if you were ultra rich (let’s say $25M), what completely frivolous thing are you buying?

if it ever reaches production, the release tesla roadster will not actually fly, and furthermore, even with that feature cut i think if you try to buy one your license should be immediately and permanently revoked

also if you write a headline like "the tesla roadster flies" you are committing journalistic malpractice. you know how tech demos work, you know tesla's track record, and you know the million reasons they could never ship a car like that even if it worked consistently. don't advertise for him

genuinely just bolted up from almost-sleep with the realization that Super Paper Mario is a Metroidvania

cai was one of the first ai things i remember popping up after the initial release of chatgpt, and even before i formed a firm stance against genai generally, i was a cai hater from day one. this is almost cathartic, i just need disney to back out to really seal it

All arguments in favor of Windows over Linux are one of these: 1. Still need Photoshop or whatever (the valid one) 2. Based on decade-old info and/or jokes 3. Blaming issues with Linux on Linux users while treating the same issues on Windows as an unpleasant inevitability, like wasps or earthquakes

current thoughts on vocaloid-type stuff (i bought my wife unbeatable and ended up getting really into it myself and as a result have been hearing a lot of jamie page)

"Super Intelligence" was an attempted forced increase in the initial pyramid scheme and thus was not in itself an actual transformation. Alternate names: -Super Intelligence 2nd Grade -Power Stressed Super Intelligence Similar Techniques: -100% Full Power Super Metaverse Evolved -Wrathful Grok

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Is asking someone to leave the beverages at home for an interview as fussy as reminding a lady to wear pantyhose or a gentleman to ask before lighting a cigarette? We assembled a team of Post staffers across the newsroom — and commenters — to find out: https://wapo.st/4dwx0LS

picking up a used copy of portal 2 for xbox 360 in like 2013 irreversibly changed the way i viewed video games as a medium

What's your "origin" video game? Most gamers have a lot of favorite games, sure, but there's always one that basically 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 you: the game that flipped that little switch in your brain and made into a life-long gamer.
