You don't really appreciate good communication skills until you hear someone you completely agree with deliver positions you completely agree with in a way that makes you want to defenestrate them.

It's infuriating to see that the top "comedy" podcasts are all just a bunch of sad, old fucks performing a ritual that never actually threatens to be funny when we've been doing that for a decade. Where's our Netflix special?

Can you believe he poo-pooed this? He didn't even mention the part about signing his name over the American Southwest so that it would be visible on Google Earth.

Just got a marketing email from Netflix trying to get me to resubscribe and noting it's been 297 days since I canceled. This seems very normal, and not at all the sort of thing in a different relationship would wind up used as evidence for a restraining order.

Look, would it be easier to use an AI system to express my long-winded and intricately phrased complaints to the FedEx corporation via phone, which would start again from the beginning at any interruption? Of course it would. But I'm an artist, god damn it.

It's nice to see fedjacketing being used as a tactic against the right instead of, you know, the left destroying itself.

No, I'm not ready to be normal about this. Normality is a myth that makes people feel part of a majority in-group, providing justification for all manner of discrimination against anyone for any reason. Also, this is fucking stupid.

This whole Iran war thing, exposing the incompetence of the US military and its funding and morale problems, is making me start to wonder if they're even capable of being deployed to stop a popular uprising within its own borders anymore.

I can think of no greater evidence of the Democratic Party establishment being completely out of touch with what US voters actually give a shit about than the fact that Hasan Piker is a recognizable name to my 76 year-old mother.

Got directed to a page where you can delete your Gemini history, and thought I should take a peek as I may have accidentally been using some aspects of it at some point. So, imagine my delight at finding only half a dozen data points, the most recent in 2025.

I don't know where to begin with this. It's not new to the series, having the impact be meaningful would detract from the experience so it won't be, and a bunch of developers spent a lot of time not eating or exercising to implement it. I know a pair of horse testicles when I see them.

New York Times out here just saying wild shit with no factual basis or evidence.

Text, containing a highlighted portion (indicated by *): "In the United States, lawmakers have reintroduced the Kids Online Safety Act, *a bill that would strengthen privacy for minors* and allow them to opt out of algorithmic features that have been linked to compulsive use of social media. Multiple states have also passed laws aimed at limiting harm to children from social media."

As it's becoming easier to transition people from ecosystems like Windows and Google, I bet there's a real market for a service that tracks down associated applications and updates relevant information for them or notifies the user to do so.

This is only meaningful for a very narrow audience, but I truly do not understand the hate Phantasm fans have for Ravager. It's probably the second best film in the franchise, certainly the one attempting to say the most, and I would argue more successful at conveying its themes than the original.

If you're noticing nearly a decade old episodes of Spin-Off Doctors popping up in your podcast players, I'm in the process of restoring episodes lost in our transition from SoundCloud. Apologies if this causes any issues, should be caught up in the next day or so.

I know in my heart that @commandersterling.bsky.social and I did a Spin-Off Doctors episode on Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, but I cannot find it anywhere. If you, or someone you know, has this episode, I'd appreciate a heads-up.

There's a question to be asked of Abbot and Williams as to what they call people who earn less than $40k a year, but I don't care enough to ask and I don't think they care about those people enough to define them.

Following years of the general term "Artificial Intelligence" being used to sell the public on plagiarism machines, it's pretty fucking rich whenever people pull the "but what about autocorrect" card. You know what you're doing, you pricks. Stop gaslighting people with better things to think about.

AI proponents have the mistaken impression that people will like a piece of slop and realize that they actually like AI when they find out it's slop. These are people so foolish they must have never once realized they've been lied to and know how people generally respond to that.

David Wain and Ken Marino's new film, Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass, is a shameless rip-off of Fight Club. No, I will not explain further.

I am skeptical that Ford laying off 5,300 workers then hiring or rehiring 350 engineers to work across their departments and augmenting AI is some sort of labor win.
