I thought this said 1972 for a second and I was like “oh yeah WAIT hang on”

The store I went to as a kid that sold Star Trek action figures had SO MANY Trelanes.

Screenshot of Big Bird in front of cartoon backdrop. Captions say: "Nice. Make chicken."

Screenshot of Bert. Subs say: "You did it, Bernice. You're dead"

Screenshot of a pink baby monster muppet, Nataha. Captions simply say: "Help."

So much to process

This damn post has absolutely ruined my brain every time I hear someone mention "for the time being." Major kudos to the poster, if I ever meet you in person I will congratulate you and then punch you in the face.

in the words of a friend, “that dog looks like he is about to give you terrible news”

Lesbians Like Me Joined Forces with Conservatives. Now They’re Turning on Us. — Queer Majority The political right welcomed LGBT moderates with open arms. Once they took power, the mask came off.

Get, and I cannot stress this strongly enough, rekt

Every now and then I look up at the sky and have to say, in a Piglet voice, “кажется дождь собирается!”

Yeah, I almost wanted to clarify that I don’t have one, because “Bothered by assuming everyone has an inner monologue [but I have an inner monologue]” feels distinct from “Bothered by assuming everyone has an inner monolgue [I do not have an inner monologue]”.

“Fuckin’” felt like the weirdest part to me because of the ’, but sure enough …

What does it mean if I have to take a break from the diagnostic to note that one of the questions assumes incorrectly that everyone has an internal monologue?

“The Endless Shrimp” makes me think of a shrimp ouroboros

Sounds like a new day breaking in a saga of the war between immortal sea-creatures

I assume that I would also bring this level of enthusiasm to parenthood and reach hitherto unimagined levels of insufferable

Sometimes having a dog feels like being a megafan of some band that no one else is really familiar with

You're a rent seeker It's an economist insult. It's devastating. You're devastated right now.

I do the same thing! Once I mistakenly bought a new flour sack a bucket early, though, so now they’re labelled: “1 of 3”, “2 of 3”, etc.

In retrospect I take some issue with some parts of that analogy, but it’s one that I’ve come back to over time and shared with friends

I remember this! I think it was one of those moments where I accidentally channeled advice that was way better than I had any right to have access to

I learned a lot from that job! I think not always the lessons they intended to teach me

Grew up in California, and this is what it means for me denotatively.

Connotatively, I think it sometimes means tongue-in-cheek “we’re winning” as a sort of litotes

Some of this resonated because it was stuff I’ve finally figured out. Some of it makes sense to me in a way that I probably don’t entirely grasp yet. And some of it is what I’m actively figuring out right now.

Thank you for this, and for all your videos. They’ve really made a difference for me.

I keep seeing people in comments threads marveling at how good Claude Code is at doing code which will "take developers jobs" and I think the average person really doesn't have a fucking clue how good a human being who knows how a computer works is for comparison.

True story: I thought that the Very Involved Political Plotting stories would be what got my partner interested in Star Trek, and then we watched Move Along Home and he was like “wait hang on, I like this”

🐤 Baby chicks know their kikis from the boubas!

New research shows that newly-hatched chicks perform almost exactly the same as humans on the bouba-kiki test

(It’s almost like if wugs took the bouba-kiki test 😀)

1. Are you currently using an AI tool for work-related tasks or projects? * Yes * No, but I would like to (PLEASE SKIP TO QUESTION 7)

My employer asks me to complete a survey on AI usage for which this is the first question (required):

Imagine you're paying like $100 a month or whatever for Claude and realizing the government used the same shit to kill schoolchildren in Iran. And they're using your tax money to pay for it. So you're paying Claude twice to kill kids. Crazy.
