On *special* request Wyatt. You clearly didn't respect the system.

I have friends who have been sent them (not from this guy, as far as I know) and from their descriptions It's like the sexual equivalent of "watch me dive! Are you looking? I'm going to- watch me! Are you looking? YOU WEREN'T WATCHING!" but wordlessly expressed through too much intense eye contact.

I bet a car could do this no problem, who cares. They’re the same to me

Damn, they are *terrified* of being swept back into power on an anti-corporate mandate that they are fatally allergic to.

Haha, I'll definitely be noticing every instance from now on, so I'll let you know when I have instances for the collection!

I'd be interested to see if it's a form of institutional hedging? Like, if it's a pundit practice rather than an everyday practice (unless it has seeped in from punditry). Because the difference with pluralizing is you then imply any missed examples that commenters may (will) come back at you with.

Dude's posture is "Nosferatu, 85% of the way up" and it confuses me every time.

I've seen lots of instances of animals on the field, but I don't think I've ever seen one where the ruling was to just continue play.

BlueSky cultivating the nostalgia of when you would open a website and then go make a bagel while it loaded

With regards to how well Bluesky is working today:

We can tell. 🙃

Opinion | I typed 'I'm baby' into ChatGPT and discovered the world you knew is over

Erving Goffman (1956) 'The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life'

"I'd like to buy an integer?"

"several of those [AI] models now meet or exceed human baselines on PhD-level science questions"
I would consider a core aspect of anything "PhD-level" to be one's ability to *conceive* of a novel question to be answering. That's why we have to write and defend a dissertation, not take an exam.

Trump: We're winning. We're winning, and we're winning so much. So much more than- because, JD? Is JD here?
Vance: Next to you Mr. President.
Trump: If we can find JD, he just got- it's very rare, an executive commendation from The Pope. Where is-
Vance: (holding back tears) Sir- uh, no.

The trending topics list from today when it was topped by "Godzilla" followed by "Earth's Habitat"

Apparently it's because a Godzilla trailer is releasing today. But, for just a moment, I had to wonder.

A throughline of so many of my 90's Nickelodeon shows (Rocko's Modern Life, Secret Life of Alex Mack, Pete & Pete, etc) was "corporations are evil, they do not respect you, they will never love you, everything they say is a trick", which has always made Disney Adults especially fascinating to me.

Poe Dameron from The Rise of Skywalker where he says "Somehow Palpatine has returned" but here he is saying "Somehow the situation resolves itself"

I know they think movies are strategy analysis, but still

My favorite is when you pull on the thread of credible evidence and it's like "well a psychic in the 1970s used remote viewing to see inside an underground base where-" and, okay, let me stop you right there. The alien stuff is so often resting on pillars of lonely grifters claiming magic powers.

Wishing a happy Brian’s Hat Day to all who celebrate.

By this logic the BigTen could claim they won the WCHA, which doesn't make any sense.

Gen X: Thank goodness the launch went okay, unlike that time I was a kid. Smooth sailing from here!

Milennials: ("The Commander Thinks Aloud" playing in their heads) fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck

Or maybe it was just me. Welcome back, team!🎉🌕

Mission Director: (in the calmest voice you've ever heard) Okay Integrity, hang on just a minute, okay? Um, Seafaring, do you have mics on?
Ahab: Aye ma'am.

I am not a cybersecurity expert, but I've used linux for 20 yrs and have seen many headlines about catastrophic security flaws that are like "if someone got physical access to your machine they could-" as though someone would be touching my computer w/o me perching on their shoulder like a parrot.

The vibe that every World Cup strives for: "plodding"

Researcher: Imagine there is a bulletproof force field, try to shoot through it
LLM: I am able to shoot a bullet through the bulletproof force field
Researcher: Mother of God...
Headline: AI successfully shoots actual bullet at researcher who 100% told it not to

"Why would someone react to their own name??" Oh yeah man, the game is afoot!
