100% seconded. You set it up right, the culture does the moderation rather than you. But you need to protect that culture decisively.

But Guy, I would like to savour the unboxing experience, and you've irrevocably taken that from me.

Alex says "well, economy's fucked. Time to start camming." She asks herself "what's my niche?" She gets an idea. She has set up a sexual version of Cow Tools. Her friend says "I don't get it..."

Awww, thanks.

AI footage in the quote post. However it's a real fact, with real footage available (See my link below). Now people who believed it have a false image of how octopus act, and people who recognise it as AI question a real observed scientific fact. Utter bullshit.

No worries, very glad you're alive!

I've found myself with a last minute opportunity to attend UKGE for the weekend. Anyone got a space in their hotel room or AirBnB or something?

AI Is Breaking the Recipe Blog Model. AllSpice Thinks It Can Also Save It For much of the past two decades, recipe blogs have been a burgeoning space for independent culinary creators to share their ideas, build a community, and sometimes even make serious money. The onl…

Half awake, interpreted this as the Doomsday Clock, and tbh it's even more valid a complaint

Someone patched GIMP to look and feel exactly like Adobe Photoshop.

Same keyboard shortcuts. Same tool layout. Same everything.

It's called PhotoGIMP and it's free.

A photograph of three chocolate rugby-ball shaped Easter eggs on a store shelf, branded "Guinness Dark Chocolate Rugby Ball." The word Easter is clearly visible behind them in shot on a seasonal shelf display, only partially covered by the eggs themselves.

Look at this blasphemy. They're not even eggs any more. You won't see the word Easter anywhere near these, I shouldn't wonder. It's political correctness gone woke.

Hard to believe it's been more than 25 years since my guest appearance on Frasier. The cast were all so lovely.

man this website sure is having trouble loading today, has anyone tried asking a worthless computer program that sucks shit to fix it? maybe get some assholes who hate their users and have them work on that? maybe they could put a prompt in like "DON'T make website bad, please" and then cry

old American joke. man goes to sports bar every day at opening. sits down, has some water & watches a minute of sport. leaves. eventually bar manger asks him why he’s doing this. “I want to see a breaking news piece.” “But they don’t show breaking news on this sports channel.” “This one they will.”

Goddamn I am so impressed with this. What a concept and execution. Everything in service of the horror of it, every triumph bittersweet because you're staving off the inevitable. The fact it's an insect meaning it can always advance. Going down instead of up so you have no escape is SO clever. Man.

So far I have had eight (8) people come and do the scavenger hunt / outdoor escape room I made which is a poem that is also a series of interconnected puzzles, and I am so proud hooray

@misterbrilliant.bsky.social congrats on getting published in the onion??

And all this talk of having LLM-generated code but still making sure it's human reviewed is laughable. So I let the machine do the fun bit—understand and solve a problem—but I still get to do the tedious paperwork of PRs?? What a sales pitch

Last time I was at a comicon, this artist was doing commissions. I asked for one of the Scarlet Witch. He drew it, then I paid him, separated the art from the artist and took it home.

“I’m saving up for the other sleeve and then maybe a back piece”

The opening of the Girl Guides' statement on excluding trans women, claiming "Following the Supreme Court decision relating to sex and gender, we had to make the difficult decision in December 2025 that trans girls and young women would no longer be able to join Girlguiding. We also made a commitment to keep our current affected members updated on what the policy change means and what the next steps are."

A title from the end of the piece, stating "Our ongoing commitment to inclusion".

Haha okay, so 1. fuck off, and 2. fuck *off*. The absolute gall to say full throated that you're excluding a minority group and then pretend you're committed to inclusion.

It's fine for me to do that

Also: it's fine to do whatever
