I'm excited that this is a fitting use of "I'd like to report a murder" – the paragraph about Republicans alone ...

"Are you a visionary leader passionate about crafting exceptional digital experiences?" I mean, aren't we all?

Hey @schnickilfritz.bsky.social – I forgot I had this photo and thought you'd want to see the horse named after us.

@antigravitymag.bsky.social Will the voter guide be out today? I feel like the woman in this Mervyn's commercial ... "open open open" www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebD2...

I saw "You Can See Everything." Sit in the one of first few rows – the rows where you normally wouldn't want to sit. Trust me. It will augment the experience.

I got downvoted in one of the Kelly Clarkson Reddit threads for saying that her use of "whilst" was weird. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I believe her side of the story, but since when do Americans type "whilst"?

This was on "Ted Lasso" this week and I fell in love instantly. open.spotify.com/track/4YsUyT...

I have blamed The agents That hacked Your website And which You probably Reasonably thought I controlled Forgive me I am rich And unaccustomed To taking responsibility

So this week: -- Stood my ground with a client, with nasty emails from them severing the relationship. -- Edited and formatted 40,000 words in 35 hours for a much kinder client. -- Can see my main job will end EOY before my 20-year anniversary in March. Tech makes no sense now. It's gibberish.

A gorgeous sentence among the horror: "Their trainwreck-laden funhouse mirror of a respectable media company has masqueraded as a purveyor of genuine news and information, enjoying enormous success ... while publishing oceans of trash that would get a real journalist fired immediately."

I edited a calendar with AI-generated photo captions. In three captions, the city describing where the photo was taken doesn't exist. It's kind of amazing how the stupidity is contagious! AI just further delivers, like a cough, the stupidity of our leaders and the enshittification of everything.

Maybe we need to start electing rock stars instead of reality show stars. They sure have more courage than our current representatives, even when it's gonna impact them financially and within their industry.

I would pay real money not to see AI commercials. My weekends are a respite from the all-AI-all-the-time hell I'm in Monday through Friday. I'm just trying to watch the game, ChatGPT. Also, fuck off.

"Doomsday DJ" is my all-time favorite "Kids in the Hall" sketch because of @davesfoley.bsky.social's astonishing facial expressions, but I guess I didn't think it'd be so prescient so soon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=heAN...

The comment on this post/painting is 🤌🏼. Also, the IG post from our former president is real.

This review is spot on. Raygun and Sammy have an odd blend of myopia and naiveté. I'm not sure if it's me being a gym rat, but she was not even remotely training hard enough for any sport. Her defense that women are quick to criticize women is wrong. This is about palpable talent and athleticism.

Yes, but choosing to be like Dolly requires that you either believe in an afterlife reward or care that you are remembered by others as a good person. I doubt that either condition applies to the billionaires.

I unfollowed someone once because she wouldn't stop posting about how behind she was on answering all of her DMs – as if it was a deluge – when that had to be a total delusion based on everything else she'd ever said about herself plus her follower count plus her interactions.

If anyone has questions about the implications of the @ec.europa.eu EU AI Act and @anthropic.com's watermarking on written or visual content – and the suddenly crucial role of an editor/editing (yay!) – I can explain. I'm up to speed as best I can with what we know now (August 2026).

All I had to do was see Drew start crying and I was a goner 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

*Older* Saints fans know that having Joe Montana put Drew's gold jacket on is uh -- what are you doing, he is our mortal enemy, pick literally any other QB, seriously ...

I'm barely on LinkedIn, so I'm shown suggestions and ads more than follows. Today I noticed a total 180 on AI -- posts like, "I've been hired as a writer because they don't want their content to sound like AI." Well well well. So many layoffs, for no good reason at all.

Amazing story. TIL thst the bar exam's existence had racial (racist) motivations.

In "Once," Glen Hansard gave Marketa Irglova the greatest set of "pleasefuckme" eyes ever. If you need me I'll be crying to the soundtrack.

Mugshots make you look terrible because of the lighting. People who aren't meth addicts take mugshots where they look like meth addicts because EVERYONE looks like a meth addict in that lighting. St. Tammany Parish's mugshots make you look like you have no eyebrows.

The bros were bedazzled by their fantasy assumptions about an unproven technology. After they all crash and their assets are sold for pennies on the dollar, someone is going to make a killing, much like the fiber optics story following the dot-com crash.

I have really fond memories of secretly rooting for Argentina in 2022 (while visiting Lisbon) among lots of French fans, but the better team won today.

Was that Chris Martin?

Why does Timothée keep saying Kalshi when the dentist is asking him whether he’s OK? I mean fuck off Kalshi but also make commercials that have some semblance to logical dialogue.

From over a year ago.

"how were people writing 10 page papers before AI???" we were smarter than you. you could've been smart, too. but you sold your brain for nothing

After having the World Cup on every day but listening more than watching, I just learned that who I thought was Mary Carillo is actually Stu Holden. Their voices are identical to me. I'd wondered how she had such in-depth soccer knowledge but figured she was just a pro and picked it over Wimbledon.

The details feel like a completed Mad Lib: The wedding was held at (place)____________________ and officiated by (person)_____________________. The hashtag was (noun)__________________, and before the ceremony the bride and groom (activity)_____________________________.

This is now an account devoted to reposting comparisons between the fair de loon and Spinal Tap.

Omg, where this thread goes! Christopher Guest's part in Stonehenge is my all-time favorite moment of all Tap songs. Even more than Big Bottoms. AND YOU MY LOVE, WON'T YOU TAKE MY HAND ... WE'LL GO BACK IN TIME TO THAT MYSTIC LAND ...

Before AI it was NFTs and before that it was crypto and before that it was subprime loans and before that it was internet commerce.

The sequel I didn't know I needed. Also, did they use AI to de-age them? (Seth excepted) I have an occasion tomorrow, so this means I'll be wearing my Dr. Evil dress. It has the entire "my father would womanize ..." speech embroidered down the front.

I know this is just the least of things (looks around) but boy, I sure would like it if we could ban the phrase "at scale" from business writing. Who has ever been persuaded -- or dare I say inspired -- by the possibility of "innovating at scale"? What a waste of characters.

I'm so happy to see such joy. But all I can think about is that this is what it'll look like when it happens, and he will finally get his "biggest crowd ever" wish.

Reminds me of this figure from an August 2024 article on Freethink about AI model collapse. The subheading of the article is, "When AI eats its own product, it gets sick."

Yep. See that Gary Marcus Substack about how mathematically impossible this is.

"Authority laundering" is my new favorite term.
