I believe this is what all signage looks like in Hell.

A clearly AI generated advertisement that says STRAWBERRIES MAKE THE IDEAL GIFT. The image invokes a sense of doom.

We may never be what we once were, but we might still yet become what we were always meant to be.

This is how it feels to be mean to people who deserve it.

I can't say that all social media is bad because I'm in a few very tiny mountain town Facebook groups and all the posts are like "Where can I get dry ice?" and some bored guy goes "Oh you get dry water and freeze it" or "Two of our cows wandered off, last seen by the sawmill. They look like cows."

This meme is about The Shadow Histories by H. G. Parry and the Temeraire novels by Naomi Novik

if i had a nickel for every time i found and loved a fantasy series set during the napoleonic wars that also became a story about abolition and liberation I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

God damn there are some nights when I think about how bad I miss Scott Hutchison's music and how much poorer we all are that he's not here.

The English language contains infinite permutations of language. Shakespeare invented hundreds of new words which survive to this day. If you are willing to abandon the Oxford Comma in order to Poast, you are a coward who will never see heaven.

I think there's a very serious case to be made that the final result of trillions of dollars of investment in LLMs by the richest organizations in history is gonna be a tool that is pretty good for spreadsheets and a hideously powerful nightmare weapon for hackers that endangers everyone.

The way Libby rewind and fast forward buttons do that little ratchet motion is extremely satisfying.

This fucker has this entire website Paarthurnax posting with their entire chest and it's very beautiful.

This is gonna be us for the rest of our lives, seeing advancements made by a superpower that invested in building a civilization instead of shoving it into the hands of corrupt oligarchs.

I spent all day reading stuff I knew would piss me off and I got so mad I made lemon chicken orzo soup because I'm sick and also I find immense comfort in doing something fundamentally human. Don't let these bastards get you down and also make good soup.

If you've ever wondered "Why the hell is Ohio so very, very Ohio?" I think the answer is that many, many Ohioans simply do not believe politics matters to them, and actively avoid learning anything about the state of governance.

This one image is the single best encapsulation of the fundamental weakness of the AI bro/fascist mindset I've ever seen. The pathway to all the best things I have ever found in life has led directly through The Valley of Cringe. You cannot meet your fellow travelers without first Being Cringe.

A twitter post about a guy who was "forced" to paint for a college activity and while his friends told him it was good and that he tried his best, he said "AI could have done 10x better in seconds. The whole process of making this I felt extreme cringe and shame."

I dunno if I posted it here but I wanted to share that my family's solution to a slight dip in the deck at our cabin is the ontologically and Platonically perfect embodiment of "tech debt."

Drugs are awesome, huge fan, but have you, as a Desk And Laptop Worker with an English Degree, ever bought a tool that your blue-collar father who has renovated houses for 60 years, originally mocked you for but then gradually began to heavily borrow?
