listening to Reasonable Doubt and trying to figure out if it holds up or if it's just pure nostalgia is one of the strangest human experiences i've had thusfar. probably 50/50 but i want to believe it's a zero-sum battle!!!

hello everyone. i made a game called Spelterm that i am figuring out what to do with. might just keep it on the web. play free every day. tons of progression/depth, daily challenges, easy save/resume, works offline if you load the page before your flight takes off. enjoy spelterm.com/game

i consider myself a bit of a DFW buff (i am just being honest, believe me, it is NOT pride) and i had totally never read This is Water until right now. stopped after the second paragraph the tone is just so bad. i believe it sounded ok back then but now it sounds like larry king scolding me

i think this might be an mondegreen, but either way, never put "now i'm reaaaady to sing" in the lyrics of a song you are singing. sends the wrong message

been thinking about/watching Ally McBeal a bunch. so many good things about that show but the theme song is not one of them.

10000 flowers to Rustie for somehow discovering that you can make music sound so unbelievably distorted that it sounds like your speaker is completely destroyed and they still let you post it to digital streaming platforms. this is my sliced bread

wait. so did netflix do the infamous UK Wonka popup too? seems like they would have sued whoever did it, it it wasn't them, since they own the IP? maybe i am forgetting that The Unknown was inserted for differentiation purposes. variety.com/2026/tv/revi...

Netflix Competition ‘Wonka’s The Golden Ticket’ Is a Ghoulish Misuse of AI Gene Wilder: TV Review

A Netflix competition show based on Roald Dahl's 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' uses an AI-generated Gene Wilder in a disastrous gimmick.

got a text message from "J Cole" announcing his new brandmark (iirc it is "Indies 5000") and i clicked through and had no idea it was shoes until i read a press release about it on a news site. i guess this is the future of commerce

i have to admit: it had been a long time since i had purchased JUST two regular sized reeses peanut butter cups at a gas station, and i was surprised that they cost $2.50. i guess it probably won't ever do it again! let me know if/when they drop back down again thanks graham

the AI pause talk is already washed, but hey, don't ask me: i literally built a local model harness with Q2 models because i decided they were "enough" to do most of the things i actually want to do with LLMs. i even called it enough! those local files ain't pausin' $hit, do whatever you want dario

Loopler is pretty good, kinda repetitive, but also, it has some of the most hilarious UI bugs I have ever seen in a Steam game. need so many workarounds to complete a run

ok, sure. you're going to mention a 42-year "non-swearing streak" for the guy i had thought i couldn't dislike more, and not explain what is going on there. did he lose a bet? really bad genie wish?

wow. today i learned that there is an O G unix text editor that no one even bothers to argue is superior to emacs or vi. it is called ed pronounced ee dee. maybe if they had pronounced it ed it would have taken off.

it is interesting that a crucial decision re: eh eye aka chajipiti is Offload v. Augment. craft, invention, cognition, labor. are you offloading it from your human body, or augmenting your human body? meanwhile, companies are choosing to offload human cognition by the neural ton, in some cases.

i think linkedin is one of the most incredible applications of all time. its utility is 100% fictional, nobody actually uses it the way it presents itself as being used, and its deployment of dark patterns is like a Candy Crush clone from hell itself. it is not going to get any better than this
