Putin/Trump humanitarian? Please. The only way this adjective makes sense is if they use the word the way a reformed werewolf in a Terry Pratchett book does: "It was easy to be a vegetarian by day. It was preventing yourself from becoming a humanitarian at night that took the real effort.”

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”

Been listening to an audio book which I _think_ has been narrated by AI, but I'm not entirely sure. Either way, the voice is almost a perfect match for Tom Hiddleston, so it feels like I'm being read to by Loki.

We've been looking after a friend's dog, Scruffles. He's extremely forceful and non-consensual in giving his affection to us, so we've renamed him Scruffle Brand.

This is about half the amount of people that were in the queue to take a piss halfway through the James gig in Auckland last night.

Kids, back in my day we didn’t have autotune. If you couldn’t sing, they made you play the bass, and usually carry the amps too. That was your lot in life, and you just accepted it

Wonderful line in the Guardian about Ronaldo... "If this is to be the end for Cristiano Ronaldo at international level, at least it can be said that he left the stage as he bestrode it: with monumental self-regard." 🤣

To the people complaining these sex abuse cases have created a world where men now have to think 10 times before they touch a woman. Yes, that's the point. It's called consent. Welcome to human decency.

This is some Tolkien-level retconning for Avengers Doomsday, and I am absolutely here for it.

Director Anthony Russo has addressed the newly extended final scene of Avengers Endgame: Encore, which rewrites Steve Rogers' story to lead into Avengers: Doomsday. https://bit.ly/4AxA8AV

If I pitched a movie a few years ago about how the world was going to be completely trashed by a big fat dementia-stricken sexist racist pedo rapist grifter with orange skin and the stupidest combover of all time, I'm sure it would have been rejected as being too unbelievable. And yet here we are.

"Ever since man first left his cave and met a stranger with a different language and a new way of looking at things, the human race has had a dream: to kill him, so we don't have to learn his language or his new way of looking at things." Zapp Brannigan

"The Tolkien Problem, Solved by Pipeline"... "Researchers just automated the thing Tolkien spent decades doing by hand... Tolkien spent decades crafting Elvish..." "A staged AI system now handles the structural heavy lifting that once required years of expert linguistic craft."
