Sorry but this isn't how you take care of a hotel

Rewatched Child's Play (1988) recently and was struck by how clever and fluid the practical special effects for the Chucky doll were. This video explains it all! www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EUw... (TL;DW a combination of ingenious animatronics and a little person in oversized sets).

This new Justice track (featuring Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard) is an absolute banger. And it’s for the GTA VI soundtrack! Catchiest GTA trailer track since Get Innocuous for GTA IV. open.spotify.com/track/4HCOHR...

I know this won’t be a popular opinion on here, but it’s time we all went back to Renner App. Yes it got bad on there after Jeremy was crushed to death by that snowplow, but now you’ll see far more celebrations of Jeremy’s life than discussions of the specific mechanics of his brutal pulverisation

Listening to Massive Attack’s 2003 album 100th Window, which I wasn’t that fond of at the time, and I’m really enjoying it now. It has collaborations with Sinead O’Connor and Damon Albarn and has a sort of “Massive Attack’s In Rainbows” feel.

I’m not surprised it’s called The Odyssey. A lot of the things that happen to Matt Damon are quite odd - and they happen at sea!

Fun fact: when people say sentient, they usually mean sapient. Ok byeee!

Good news: Fable has foiled my plan to develop a bioweapon which only targets people with no palmaris longus tendon in their arm.

They say it takes 43 muscles to frown, and 17 muscles to smile, which is why i try to remain expressionless at all times

Hey, anybody here want to give me five million US dollars? In return I will write you a very sincere thank you note, or your money back.

It’s time for the USA to accept that they’ll never be a great soccer nation. If they want to excel at a global sport, they should redirect their top baseball talent into cricket.

Becoming Belgian for a day. About time I learnt Flemish.

If you’re a dude at 15 you have to pick a book to choose what kind of nerd you’re going to be. You can be a Dune nerd or a Tolkien nerd or a William Gibson nerd. This is like picking your starter pokemon

Thinking about when my kid said there's a funny looking movie on Netflix so I asked him what movie and he said he doesn't want to say because he doesn't know if it's a bad word so I said just say it, and he says "Norbit"

This recent World Cup-related trend of Americans being trolled about their less illustrious food, and reacting indignantly en masse in the same way the British react when Americans do their “beans on toast” schtick (ie “we have a diverse range of food options from around the world”… is pretty funny.

The 29 down clue for Wednesday 3rd June's The Missing Letter puzzle is wrong. The 2012 Summer Olympics were held in London. The *2016* Summer Olympics were held in Rio. As penance, get Noah Webster to put those missing "u"s back. You know the ones I'm talking about. @merriam-webster.com

Her, 2013: people can have a job writing fake heartfelt letters, and dating AI is a thing people do. The AI is hyper-intelligent. Reality, 2026: the AI writes the fake heartfelt letters, and dating AI is a thing people do. The AI is a ropey regurgitation machine made from stolen human creativity.

Wilfully mis-camel casing BluEsky

Calling Edward Scissorhands "Teddy Ouchfingers"

Oh cool a new Spotify thing

I was today years old when I realised the voice announcing the instruments in Mike Oldfield’s The Bell (from Tubular Bells II) is Alan Rickman. open.spotify.com/track/6hnRtB...

Sam Campbell made a short film about Alex Horne's celebrity soccer match. This one's for advanced users only. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv4z...

Turns out. amiatechbro.com

One of my post replies got one repost and five likes. I call this “going micro-viral”.

Saw one of those sentient vans that they’re making these days. Cut off the video and missed it going “BLOOOOOOOOOOOD” haha so fun

@flophousepodcast.com The mental health check-in Mini was just the tonic I needed. Sincerely one of your best episodes. You guys rock.

You can tell when i'm watching a comedy-drama because i stop laughing sometimes

The wilhelm scream isn't funny. Those characters are dying

Bit late on this but it just occurred to me that Brussel sprouts are just fun-size cabbages anyway back to work

I have just learned that the actor Richard Edson was the original drummer in Sonic Youth. #TITMTLTR

I can see how they would be exciting and impressive to a caveman but it’s embarrassing to enjoy them as a modern human

I think we can all agree it’s time for fireworks to become 100% illegal. Let’s ban fireworks everywhere in 2026

It is very funny when Americans do posts making fun of the way they’ve decided British people talk. Anybody who says these sorts of posts are unfunny, lazy, and insular is just jealous and probably owns a passport.

This might sound harsh, and judgmental, but if video is your preferred way of getting information about a topic, you’re a fucking moron

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

Favourite new Christmas tree ornament.

They’re finally releasing the “Babu Frik Is In Every Scene” Special Edition. www.starwars.com/news/star-wa...

The early web revealed how many of us are creative. The current web shows how many are morons.
