once again my torus-shaped uncle Lime Gem is texting me about the maximum dream you can have. i already know it's the dream of material unbinding. ive known that all my life and hes told me before anyway. maybe he should dream the dream of saying things only once. or undream the dream of nephews

It’s literally canon that Fremen don’t have to ejaculate to cum but go off I guess

The Castlevania series is culturally important for introducing the idea that Dracula is all the other monsters' boss.

A Scaramucci is ten days (july 21-31). Zacharia was appointed on Oct 9 and lasted till October 16. So a Zacharia is seven days, or 7/10ths of a Scaramucci.

In the future, the only job will be spotting genAI pictures, text, and people. The most profitable degrees will be art history, literature, and philosophy

I think the wildest thing about being post-twitter is that you can tell, just in regular conversation, when someone still uses it. There’s an underlying anger and a like… disconnect regarding what people actually think/care about?

It's not even the ethics of it. My career, my hobbies, my free time, hell, my whole life took off once I fully left Twitter. It is a place to go if you want to be stuck in a neverending race war feedback loop. Like not using ChatGPT, not using Twitter is a superpower. Remain employable; stay off it.

What a weird world we live in - Ukraine hits a data centre deep in Russia - Irish twitter users see racist posts about IPAS centres in Offaly fall off a cliff

MY AMATEUR GUESS: Same reason peoeple say "utilize" and managers say "cover off on": people choose big "smart" word over plain word

Brandon Sheffield@brandon.insertcredit.com

It's so weird how the words "composed" and "comprised" have now merged and migrated. The original meaning of "comprised" is no longer used, and instead is incorrectly used in place of "composed," even among journalists and educators. Why did this happen? "Comprised" was pretty obscure 10 years ago.

You know the battle is truly lost when even Jeopardy decides to use comprise incorrectly. @kenjennings.bsky.social I know you don't write the questions, but if you have any influence there, please let them know ;_;

a society that is obsessed with computer automation but also isn't restrained by a single shared value once nobody is looking is gonna get itself into some interesting situations
