My therapist recently told me I've got to stop anthropomorphising my tools. 🛠️ Maybe she's right but, like my monogamous drill, I'm committed to the bit...

Why did nobody tell me that the Asian spinoff of Eurovision is called Eurovision Song Contest Asia and not Asiavision!? This is the most worst creative decision in the history of the contest, acts included. #EurovisionAsia

it cannot actually be ignored or danced around that the closure of BioWare came so soon after the Saudi and Jared Kushner acquisition of EA. they absolutely did take the studio making EA’s broadly queerest games out back and shoot it old yeller style. do not let yourself or colleagues ignore that

You know, my total rip-off of Drunk History - Stoned Geology - was never as successful but if you're autistic and cool it's still a LOT of fun... 🪨💎🛘

Despite the fact Israel is absolutely committing a genocide I don't actually believe the conspiracy theory they've developed emotionless, humanoid killbots designed to infiltrate society. It would fucking explain Gal Gadot's 'acting' abilities though...

I fucking LOVE Uber Electric as an option 🙏 Is it because I care about the environment? Sure, that too. Mostly though it's the joy of making those Musk fanboys chauffeur me around in their Teslas for pocket change. If only there was an "only Cyber Trucks" option...

According to CNN, Natalie Harp once jumped into the trunk of an SUV after getting into a screaming match with other Trump staffers after being denied a seat in the motorcade heading to a Trump trial appearance. www.cnn.com/2026/08/18/p...

You know, at the age of 41 and noticing how many crumbs he drops, I'm beginning to doubt if that monster even really likes cookies that much... 🤔 🍪 👹

If you can't understand why some people can't see the issues - functional, even ignoring ethical or enviro - with AI and remain blind to the problem. It's 2026 and countless people still put stock in Myers-Briggs. It's the same level of just willful ignorance.

It can be very confronting talking to the unhoused and learning their experiences. It always makes me feel very sheltered by comparison...

Hey everybody. I’ve seen the statement by Matt Karch, the CEO of Saber Entertainment, and all of the truly horrendous things he said about me. I think it should be obvious to anyone who reads that statement that he’s lashing out because he did not want people to know there was AI use in the game.

Obviously people have their favourites, and that's subjective, but I guarantee you I know the people who created the biggest AI tool. Mr and Mrs Altman.

However, in this scenario that the song describes - seperate to the movie plot - I'm imagine Goldfinger simply having a finger made of gold while the rest of him is regular human flesh at 37°C (98.6°F) which the finger is constantly pulling from which would make the finger feel warm at least. (2/3)

Thank you for coming to my TED talk about my silly joke and how I envision the narrative of this Shirley Bassey classic. I guessed it's true what they say: Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog - both give me an erection... (3/3)

And yes, I know that things that conduct heat well do often feel cold to the touch for the very reason that they conduct heat away from you and that's why, say, a stone benchtop feels cooler than a plastic cutting board despite both being the same ambient temperature. However... (1/3)

There's dead and then there's mostly dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. However in this case there's only one thing to do, which is to go through his clothes and look for loose change.

It's been 39 days since anyone has publicly seen Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). I asked his office for any updates on his mysterious health condition or his plans to return to the Senate, and got... a statement from 11 days ago. www.huffpost.com/entry/live-u...

The biggest twist in media has to be in Pokémon when they revealed Pikachu wasn't saying "pika pika!" but instead "pica pica!" and was just desperate for help with it's crippling, compulsive need to eat dirt...

So... Lindsay Graham clearly has been in a consensual, loving and deeply closeted relationship with Mitch McConnell, right? The latter was gone and he stopped holding on... 🏳️‍🌈 It's actually really beautiful 🥹 #LoveWins #USPol

I was just looking up a Lord of the Rings gif by searching for the quote - normal Thursday night - only to see this. Advertising. Right there in the Gemini summary. Blatant, barely connected advertising. Amazing.

Was this a paid placement or just a hallucination? No idea, despite being a digital advertising guy I haven't much cause for such things these days in my current role. I will say it's clear @doctorow.pluralistic.net's doctrine of accelerating Enshittification holds though...

LO, right after Trump corruptly intervened to get a player unsuspended, the US soccer team got fucking destroyed. Everything he touches turns to shit.

Not Graham Platner!? Nooo! 😭 Who would have thought the problematic¹, victim blaming², anti-semitic view promoting³, Nazi tattoo having⁴, cheating moron⁵ - to name just a few of his issues - would also (allegedly) be a violent rapist!? 🤯 (🧵 for receipts) #USPol

"A Platner campaign official said he had been communicating with no more than six, and that the conduct had stopped before the campaign launched." (2/2) As a whore, him being a slut is the least of my issues, but I hate cheaters and doing so speaks to being at best a careless arsehat.

In closing, I'm not saying there's not a bunch of the stuff Platner campaigns on isn't in line with my views - like on LGBTQIA+ and Gaza - but how this wasn't over with the Nazi skull tattoo, I just don't know. Also, its surprising to me that that sentence still surprises me in 2026...

5. In May 20 reported that in 2025, Platner's wife, Amy Gertner, told a senior campaign aide that Platner had been sexting with multiple other women. The Platner campaign's political director, Genevieve McDonald, alleged that Gertner had said Platner had sexted as many as a dozen women... (1/2)

1. Too much to go into, and while referring to himself as a Communist or saying ACAB doesn't bother me personally, there was a bunch more, like seemingly lying and going back and forth on everything else. Having a old social media you regret is something we'll have to reckon with, but still.

*cough* Not saying I called it, but...

“Why not us?” Oh, that's easy: because lots of other countries have been more invested in this sport for decades longer and have much better teams. Glad I could help. ⚽ Personally I was just sad to see Iran eliminated - I was hoping we could see USA lose to them at home and abroad... #WorldCup

Sometimes I worry I lean too hard into Single Middle-aged Man mode. Other times I invent breakfast nachos - chopped pikelets, double cream, crab apple jelly - you can eat with a fork while working, and I realise I may be a God... 🥞
