Space Cases, episode 20 "All You Can Eat" Not even a "horror" show, just a silly little kids sci-fi show on Nickelodeon that was Voyager with the serial numbers filed off. They pick up a cute little pet, find out it eats a lot and grows as it eats the ship and then it becomes THIS!!

Geordie LaForge meme of him holding up his hand in the first panel as if to imply rejection and another where he is pointing in approval. The text he seems to be rejecting is "Manic Pixie Dream Girl" and the one he points at in approval says "Uncommonly Good Looking Female Lunatic"

I feel like crop makes them SO much better 😂

The about post but the way Bluesky cropped the images leaves only one or two words per image. Elmo is talking to Grover and the text says "You're Sorry". Elmo is talking to Abby and the text says "Disagree". Ji-Young is talking to Abby and the text reads "Super Listener". Ernie is talking to Bert and the text reads "Disappointment"

"Yes, I use a LOT of ai code, but I'm the Specialest Boy so I don't consider my ai code to be vibe coded!"

Q amd A page for CSS DOS on the question of A.I. usage.

Did you use AI?

Yes, a lot. I still consider the code to be my code - but my opinions on the matter are complex. I'm no ambassador for AI accelerationism - as a published AI safety researcher and red-teamer, I'm well aware that LLMs aren't a tool to point at a problem and press 'Go' unthinkingly. I'd label CSS-DOS 'LLM-assisted' but not 'vibe coded'.

NOTE: AI writing I find cringe-inducing and bland. I'm typing this myself. The copy on this website is edited by my fingers word-by-word, with proofreading by Claude.

Takes an hour, so maybe not "quick", but this recipe for magic beer bread is real simple and I make it all the time. Results in bread that has a soft interior, chewy exterior, and that hoppy taste of beer

Recipe for Magic Bear Bread.

340 milliliter lukewarm beer, 3 cups flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, a pinch of salt.

Place mixed ingredients in a greased bread tray, place in cold over then set to 350°F and bake for 1 hour.

For anyone worried about "government overreach" the requirements of the bill are VERY basic and SHOULD have already been the law of the land from the BEGINNING 60 dau warning of shutdown and any ONE of three requirements: An offline version A patch to allow user hosted services A refund

So what would this bill do? You can read the full text for yourself but at a high level it would require publishers to communicate to the public 60 days in advance of any changes in service that would prevent the “ordinary use” of a digital game. In addition, the publisher would have to provide one or more of these three paths forward:

1. A version of the digital game that can be used by the purchaser independent of services controlled by the operator.
2. A patch or update to the purchaser’s version of the digital game that enables its continued use independent of services controlled by the operator.
3. A refund in an amount equal to the full purchase price paid for the digital game by the purchaser.

Finally tried Takis for the first time, really like them but kind of disappointed in the "heat". I've got the blue ones and Fuego, both are labeled as "EXTREME" heat but they're just kind of tingly Maybe the version they sell in Canada is just less spicy? 🤷‍♂️

Both of these posts were FLOODED with disingenuous jagoffs saying "So you want to BAN books? Maybe BURN them? How very NAZI of you 😏" Or just saying it's dumb b/c "LOTS of dead authors were bad" DON'T GIVE MONEY TO PEOPLE ACTIVELY USING THAT MONEY TO DO HARM. It's VERY simple.

If you find out a favorite author is a monster, don't separate the art from the author just give it the fuck up and stop supporting the monster." The quoting post by "kikieatsbooks" says "Fuck yeah. Abandon all assholes and read better books." Both posts have disabled replies b/c of a DELUGE of disingenuous replies.

I'm all for being realistic in criticizing people and not resorting to hyperbolic accusations, but I genuinely do NOT think he put that much creative intent behind his designs. Man just REALLY thought people the size of a brick house was the height of cool.

Once in a while I think about the Star Wars Despecialized editions and wonder if anyone has bothered to do the same but for the original pan-and-scan VHS versions.

After Firefox announced they were becoming an ""a.i." focused browser" I uninstalled it everywhere and switched to a combo of Vivaldi and Zen-Browser. I check in on their posts every few days HOPING they've walked it back. It seems to mostly be the social media intern "interpreting" the CEOs words 🙃

Screenshot of replies to @Firefox.com posts about their pivot to ai. First reply points out that the CEO of Firefox talked about blocking advertisement blockers. Firefox replies with polite corporate doublespeak saying that wasn't what he meant.
