I’m glad Hank Green apologized for using an LLM to help him push out videos. Not because I like him or even really care about him much at all, but rather because it means a lot of people pushed back on him, and he’s very popular. He’s still an idiot for relying on an LLM to give him research info.

Then it’s not “indefinitely.” It’s “for up to 35 days.”

“Microsoft will let you pause Windows Updates indefinitely, 35 days at a time”

Well, there’s another “I’m officially old” moment. I haven’t any idea what a milliner is or what LFW is. What even is Apple News’ recommendation algorithm?

Screenshot of an Apple News widget headline from a distribution called “DAZED” stating “Hat summer! Meet the young milliners taking over LFW.” There is a thumbnail image of what appears to be a woman in a red dress with a red hat mid-stride. The dress is difficult to make out, but appears to be very shiny and if I didn’t know better I would think it was Christmas-themed.

There's an aspect of this that depresses me, because I've been here so long with little to show for it, but at least I never lost myself. Not entirely.

The Da Vinci Code on PS2 is such a Dad Game and I’m kind of nostalgic for it but also having fun coming back to it after like 20 years.

Ah, yes, my favorite Argentinian bands: Nightwish, Rhapsody of Fire, and Blind Guardian. AI is definitely ready to replace human curation.

What does “huffing ass” mean in this context? What might your intention be, Gianni?

The original video is displayed above a chat box containing a prompt from Google’s generative text software. The prompt offers several options as to what might be asked for the bot to help with explaining, such as “what does ‘huffing ass’ mean in this context,” “why use ‘huffing ass’ to describe vanilla,” and “what might the speaker’s intention be.”

Got a new thing I could kill someone with. It’s very “tacticool” and I wouldn’t trust it to last more than a couple of uses in a survival situation, but seems like a handy thing to keep in the car or carry around when walking.

My favorite thing about crypto is that it can be an actual joke, like DOGE, and yet it generates value for no apparent reason. It’s like if you could track the price of Beanie Babies in real-time. It is the epitome of economic cynicism and yet there’s this absurd culture that takes it seriously.

Resin or mod podge. We have dozens of them preserved like that. These are from several years ago and they look exactly how they did when we first made them (not all of them have passed it’s just a yearly thing because small animals are so iffy). They’re black because we painted them.

No worse than anything I’ve ever made. Reminds me of the fake business card I made for a gag, 10 years ago 😂

A business card-shaped image with black background. On the left is a face with a smiling open mouth and eyes wide open. To the right reads “Bueno Repair” followed by an apparent slogan “if it breaks again, bring it back, and I’ll shit in your mouth!” Labeled as a quote from “Mr. Bueno.”

This is my precious boy Spooky who I met in my driveway. My wife and I took him in after he showed up with a trashed leg, one day. We’ve spent thousands on him, and I’d spend thousands more. Not to mention all the amputation aftercare. I’ve never loved anything like I love him. #cat

When your husband did what now? 👀

Text from an Amazon review reading “I got so excited about how pretty they are and how super awesome the box is that has the mirror with a light. But when my husband grabbed my head on each side nearest my ears, one of the buds came out and spoke into once hitting the floor.”

Oh wow you mean a massive developer who makes a lot of multiplatform games is going to release games on Nintendo’s next console? Such exciting and unforeseeable news. This sort of garbage is why I hate so-called analysts. I know this is supposedly a leaker, but it’s still a waste of bandwidth.

Look at how peaceful this cat is. Not even a year ago, his only state was one of annoyance and pain. He went from being the creepy alley cat to being a precious child in a matter of months, and his mere existence makes me weep with joy.
