'I use it for stuff that doesn't matter, or instead of doing copy paste out of something online' how do you know what doesn't matter, 5 seconds of effort is worth more than something that directly says you don't want to care but will make it look like it

"It's so good you can't even tell it's AI!" 1) No it isn't 2) Yes you can 3) Even if it was good the very fact you say "you can't even tell" means that if people did know they'd react in a different manner, meaning the entire enterprise relies on deceit.

A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes

A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

I do actually partly blame streaming for fewer not well executed movies getting to theaters, I get this is the equivalent of a TV movie, but they remain out of the mainstream for the most part, seems like if a studio isn't sure, it gets dumped on streaming

Anyway, a movie culture without the possibility of insane overpriced whiffs will be a less healthy movie culture, and I'll eat these words the day that I can say that David Ellison has taken at least three big creative gambles, but I'm not holding my breath. x

will get old and die waiting for someone to say "At least you tried." When I worked at EW, I used to say that our five worst selling covers of the year should be the five stories we most believed in. Because when you pander and sell badly, you accomplish nothing. Same is true in movies, I think. >

Seriously: Hate Digger all you want, but [pauses for flow of hate] movies like Digger are why we need studios. A world in which Digger doesn't get made one in which Sinners and One Battle also don't get made. You miss with Heaven's Gate and you still swung. You miss with Paw Patrol and you >

'oh, we're giving you overtime, you should be happy with the additional pay', no, I would happy with regular hours and a sustainable pace, because doing 80 hour weeks costs nearly as much as the OT, more therapy, more doing take out, harder times with loved ones, worse sleep, etc

I'm so happy to be working a small research lab job, and power tools

Engineeringdude @engtechnic.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

in the same boat, in addition to deeply fascinating lab jobs in the past, I hand packed trailers at a warehouse, in which 2 years after I left that job for my ankles to recover, I have arthritis in nearly every joint of my right arm, hearing of a 75 year old person, and knees memes are made out of

Engineeringdude @engtechnic.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

I should also mention my entire right arm and my knees are fucked, and I'm 34, because that job had me doing stuff that should have been stretched over 10 years, compressed into an 18 month timeline, we were also banned from using power tools, for *the dumbest reasons*

Engineeringdude @engtechnic.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

in a past job, for whatever reason, that place would hire everyone at roughly the same age, injury occurrences (hips, ACL's, etc, even cancer) to happen at around the same time forcing people into retirement, and these waves caused knowledge gaps every single time

As all the mechanics in my life I know hit their thirties they have either figured out how to get their way to running a shop/management, or their bodies are breaking. To make a living with manual labor in this country is to destroy your body and receive a societal shrug when you’re disabled.

If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent

inside you are two screaming opossums

$tumblr post from "tilthat" TIL Elvis once handed Alice Cooper one of his guns and asked him to point it at him to show off his krte skills. Cooper later said that he genuinely wanted to pull the trigger to do something legendary with his life, but Elvis knocked the gun out of his hand and pinned him before he could fire. user "smoothestjazz": crouching tiger hidden Elvis "amongthespaghetti": I can't stop reading this "streetworm2019": "A little voice in my left ear was telling me, 'Go on, this is history, kill him, you'll always be the guy who killed Elvis'. In my other ear was another voice saying, 'You can't kill him, it's Elvis Presley - wound him instead, you'll only get a few years!'. "A fraction of a second later Elvis did a flying kick on the gun, nd sent it flying, before tripping me and pinning me to the ground by my neck, announcing, 'that's how you stop a man with a gun'." "Computermaster": I like how both voices still wanted him to shoot.$

Studio Series Beast Machines Thrust WHEN, Hasbro

Beast Machines Thrust, a fucking wicked maroon and silver Cybertronian-motorcycle-robot with yellow striping. In robot mode, his whole leg assembly is the front wheel assembly, sleekly gliding around on the single wheel. His arms are his massive side-pipes, opened up into three-fingered claws. His head is a low, vicious-looking red-visored grill-mouthed deal with a blindingly bright headlamp up top. One bright yellow pupil peeks out of the visor, staring into your soul with wickedly indifferent malice.
