Oh god I'm so sorry. I worked social media channels for some restaurants back in the day, and management was convinced that every single dumb made-up holiday required a social media post and new content to pair with it.

If the people behind an album can’t be bothered to invest more than a few seconds into their artwork, how dare they expect us to spend our time listening to it?

This whole thing confuses me. The content she puts out seems to have a pretty anti-AI or at least a AI-critical slant. It's decent stuff. But seeing how she actually carries herself, you wouldn't get that vibe at all. But I guess that's just how the grift goes.

I can't tell you how relieved I am to finally see this entering the discussion, oh my god Of course we artists have been screaming it for years but I'm just thankful that because of that, news media is finally starting to be bold enough to explore that after AI's rep has tanked recently

THIS IS THE DUMBEST SHIT. Brian and Seth were like the only "dad brained gamer dudes" whose thoughts and opinions actually mattered to me. Those guys made NVC one of the bright spots in an otherwise sloppified gaming internet cesspool.

Are my eyes deceiving me, or did they lock the Metroid Suit amiibo into a collectors edition release? Sure seems that way.

The coolest fucking cat you've ever seen in your pathetic ass life, bro. And that badass cat has some dope ass sunglasses on their face, and there's like some badass text overlaid on top and it says "fuck your bad vibes bro".

A father on reddit, advocating for uploading your children's photos to Gemini AI... to convert them into coloring pages. And so many in the comments are "Great idea! I dislike AI, but this is a great idea!". This seems so wrong to me.
A reddit post from r/daddit reads:
"I used AI (Gemini) to convert photos of stuff my kids did this summer into coloring pages and they loved it. It was a straightforward prompt (Change this photo into a black and white page for a coloring book), I included their ages to adjust the degree of difficulty. Thought it was a fun and simple hack to share with all the dads."

Gamers is this true?
Reddit comment that says: 

"Because actual journalists risk their lives in warzones and covering dangerous subjects meanwhile game journalists are scared to give a bad review to a game because the publisher might stop sending them review copies."

Hey guys! Due to the trend of "what's your undertale soul color" reels I've seen recently, I decided to make something hopefully more accurate and fun than the other tests out there. I wanted it to be very Undertale themed and to have a bunch of Easter eggs. Try it at undertale.jadenthejaded.uk!

The psy-op shit is so on point. These past couple weeks or so over on reddit (I know, I know...) I've seen multiple posts bringing up that old BS about his dog. Which just so happens to coincide with Hasan's rising relevance as of late.
