I am sorry to inform you that this appears to be real

Disney made the movie Frozen so when you googled "Walt Disney frozen", it would show results for the movie instead of the urban legend that Walt Disney cryogenically froze his head

It is fundamentally dishonest and completely delusional to be going around saying "ah, someone is not technically correct about their reason for disliking AI! AI skepticism is therefore very much like the anti-vax movement!" Go fall in a hole

Wild to keep hearing anti-AI sentiment described as an "echo chamber" by people who pretend there's never been a coercive dogshit marketing campaign actively pissing people off about it for two years or any no-opt-out half-baked shovelware making everyone's PCs and phones worse

"men don't gush over cute kids" is like the most insane thing I've ever read

‘it’s not the fucking babadook’ well right because the babadook is just a made up person. the slimeball voice that lives in your computer and tells your kid the right way to tie a noose is unfortunately very real

One of my thoughts on 4/20 is that the general cultural mode of a guy who likes drugs has moved from a kind of hippy let’s all get along sort of guy to a “I am better than you because I do drugs and have become the ubermensch” sort of guy and it’s been a pretty big catastrophe for the human race

advertising technology in the 1990s: look at this “website” you can “surf”. it has an image of a cat on it

Hungary Must Arrest Visiting Leaders Sought by ICC, Magyar Says Hungary’s incoming Prime Minister Peter Magyar said he would halt the departure from the International Criminal Court that his predecessor Viktor Orban initiated, affirming that Hungary would respect ...

After Netanyahu's office claimed that Peter Magyar had invited him to visit Hungary, the PM-elected says that he will enforce all ICC arrest warrants once the country re-enters the Rome Statute.

Keep an eye on the IDF promotion lists for the next 22-year-old to make sergeant major

As a Catholic, this of course upsets me.

But far and away more upsetting is all the kids the IDF has killed.

Funny how "powerful and convenient capacity for fraud" is the throughline for this past decade's tech hype cycles!

We have good tools and user education, but a lot of the organizations we communicate with do not, and we're seeing about twice as many compromised accounts sending out phish emails to our tenant compared to just a couple of years ago

The phenomenon of "this is obviously phishing because of the typos and misapplied English idioms" has dropped to about zero, and the targeted phish attempts based on publicly-available org chart info have become a lot more convincing, especially where the boss has a non-anon social media presence.

To understand Kieran Culkin wife, one must ask: who is this venerable spouse? Does she have a height in meters? What proclivities may have driven her to be Culkin wife?

A lot of people are still in the denial about how much the median Democratic voter, the median Democratic volunteer, and the median Democratic activist has shifted on a variety of issues. Well here's the handpicked candidate of Chuck Schumer being booed, about Gaza, at the Dem convention.
