creepy af. i checked our joint account and it's got a bunch of stuff, checked my personal account and there's nothing (i basically never use amazon). we so badly need privacy laws that prevent this kind of data collection.

Galactica warping out of the atmosphere was, at the time, the coolest goddamn thing I'd ever seen.

Yeah, the President encouraging a foreign power to destroy an American city? If that's not treason, what is?

the extra dumb thing is that it's not true even if you DO get a "benevolent" dictator, because even well-intentioned individuals simply cannot properly allocate and manage resources by themselves on a national scale.

none, i'm not capable of being frightened by fiction, although i did find a lot of Superman III to be extraordinarily offputting

I've been saying for twenty years that the way you change the number of planets is not by redefining the word "planet," it's by BLOWING ONE OF THEM TO SMITHEREENS

Well this is now a permanent meme to use whenever someone does something arrogantly stupid in public and is about to get smacked down hard

I'll be honest, I read that as "miniseries" the first time through

dirtside's monster @dirtside.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

But then I mostly talk to older folks, rather than younger folks who grew up with attention-span-murdering algorithms.

dirtside's monster @dirtside.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Oh I definitely give too much context. I'm an excellent verbal storyteller (got it from my dad) but I'm also technically inclined and so it's intuitive to me to lay tons of groundwork before getting to the point. I'm trying to unlearn that and to let people ask questions if they need context.

As someone who invariably gives too much context when explaining things, I feel your pain.

mainly it's moot since no one has invented or even come close to inventing an AGI. whenever they claim they have, it's a lie intended to prop up the AI industry bubble or support "regulation" intended to protect the AI industry giants. the philosophical args. are interesting but academic for now.

Why? Is she funny or something?

i suppose you could still plausibly interrogate its approach to warfare and logistics given the depicted elements, but yeah. on the other hand, you did analyze Dune pretty well. hey, do Starship Troopers

i mean really just follow the money. legacy media is owned by the wealthy elite and so the legacy media's output supports the wealthy elite's goals. no amount of them claiming journalistic integrity can overcome who writes the checks.

The headline is catastrophically misleading. The actual complaint alleges various harms against Blackburn; the "Arctic Frost" thing is mentioned but it is not the actual cause of action in the complaint. Whoever wrote the headline should be flogged.

you can really tell how thorough people are based on whether they noticed this is from Terrible Maps

Because in reality it has nothing to do with authorization. It's mainly about skin tone.

I love that one. I also refer to "AI" "art" as "randomly generated" which makes AI boosters mad

I like the part in Phil Actually where he shows up at Nordstrom's with a bunch of signs explaining why he deserves a refund

I like to think CNBC was unaware of the word "because" up until now

for the record I saw the Jason Statham action schlock movie The Beekeeper and then went to Lassen's

i'm just baffled why Smith wouldn't just pull out his phone and look at his calendar from 2 years ago (because I assume he had an electronic calendar then, like everyone does), or ask an assistant, or something? i don't remember what i did on feb 3 2024 off the top of my head

presumably it's somewhere around here
