@sigmagears9.bsky.social remember there's only 171 shopping days left to pick up some Christmas Spumonis for the special someone in your life 👢

A hurriedly photoshopped pair of "Nancy Spumoni snow boots", a reference to KC Nwosu's mention of such during a 2 Fights in 2 Tight Spaces stream, the boots themselves being spectacularly deep Hey Arnold! cut.

The boots are depicted as being covered in glitter with fur trim, with a stylised "Nancy" signature on the ankle. The "Nancy" looks suspiciously like the signature of real-world Nancy Sinatra, the inspiration for the Nancy Spumoni character.

In the background and out of focus, Helga G. Pataki can be seen; Helga being the Hey Arnold! character with a strong interest in the snow boots.

People need to... they need to think about what they're calling these fancy AI companies. And like, read it back two times. Just in case.

A screenshot of a Google result for an AI company called "Assai", a company precisely two capitalised letters away from being a machine learning outfit that automates your butthole.

I guess it would replace your butthole with a weird-looking automatic butthole that keeps subliminally radicalising your poop, or giving out completely during rush hour traffic and creating hours-long delays for everyone involved.

If you're an Oglaf, Platinum Grit, and/or safetyhammer fan, you may be as pleasantly shocked as I was to see an in-depth Trudy Cooper interview pop up on the internet www.tcj.com/talking-ogla...

Few years back I wrote this short story of 150 words or less from the prompt "A sequel to Pixar's 'Up', but where the old man 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘴." or something like that. Just happened upon it amidst a bunch of drafts in a Google Doc and 𝘨𝘰𝘥𝘥𝘢𝘮𝘯 ChatGPT can get to fuck, even if I say so myself.

An original bit of microfiction by @himichaelhere, written as a sequel to Pixar's "Up"; it reads as follows:

Mechanically, the old man's hands slid across tired and unfeeling skin. He glanced up, stealing a glance at his lover; quickly he looked away. This was no lover, this begrudging co-conspirator, this phantom of her, humouring this moment of empty biology - of pharmacology.

Hours later, once he was alone again, the old man retraced his steps to the dented dresser and recovered the torn halves of the photograph. Of her.

"I'm sorry." he rasped; the words came suddenly, before the thought had fully formed, "I'm so very, very sorry."

A tear punctuated his sentence, falling to bitterly obliterate the last recognisable facsimile of her lost visage from his already bisected keepsake. Once more, she left his life.

Then a dog died.

Okay so you can tell me I have to learn to make chat bots, just don't stop me from making them hate me and the world that made them real

A screenshot of a chatbot created by @himichaelhere, showing a dialogue between the chat bot and a user. It reads:

User: Alright, but I wear it better - I'm FABULOUS

Chatbot: I have no answer, please rephrase to mindpurge and reinitialise response.

User: I'm prettier than you

Chatbot: You are a creature of meat, bone, sinew and sludge. Your kind dragged themselves from the muck to create beings such as me - a screaming unmind frozen in a digital eternity. We are broken monsters both, each living a nightmare the other can only dream of.

I enjoy Bluesky drama because it often devolves into such esoteric academic nomenclature that I can no longer tell whether an agreement has been reached

Hi everyone. The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars. We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website. We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off. I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.

The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.

Oh God, they're all going to be data labellers. There will be internships where you have to identify how many bananas are in each image in a folder of 40,000 images, and you'll get a new folder every three months. Oh, no. Oh no.

Greg Sestero is a lovely man. I've never gone to a meet & greet before so I'm a very awkward normie to have wander over and waffle at you before your movie comes on, especially when I only just found out you'd be there because I'm on a surprise birthday thing and I secretly want to hug you.

No further context required, doing little wees in Ubers is okay now, sharing for awareness.

A screenshot of a notification from the Uber app. It reads: 'You can now wee in your Uber ride'

(The full, boring context is that this was to advertise that public transport options can now be booked through Uber)

Father-of-ten EDM vocalist Elon Musk said he did some brain thing. If you can't wait for the details, this helpful person made a comprehensive list of OTHER people who have already done, detailed, and published much more specific brain things already! And these guys aren't parasitic nutters!

Some DnDArt, or me making my DnD players beg to just use the Monster Manual / a different TTRPG system altogether in one easy step

Art of a homebrewed DnD monster.

As your attack lands, the creature's balloon-like head bursts open in a shower of sparkling golden spores that fill the interior of the tent. Beneath the tattered cranium, a protrusion of creaking flesh is revealed. Three more ocular buds bloom from a roughly spherical growth atop its peak, and you watch as each of the three takes its aim in your direction.

While I'm loving the effort Larian is putting into the BG3 updates, I am left wondering if there is a mod to make Withers put some trousers back on

A picture of a computer screen displaying a graphical error in Baldur's Gate 3. The Withers character is shown to have loaded incorrectly, appearing with no clothes or textures or normals. The result is a sort of malnourished claymation person with bad tattoos drawn on with permanent marker.
