My “favorite” part of modern society is that while my immediate reaction is that this is a bit, in my heart of hearts I know it’s likely just a straight recounting of the facts

I don't know why it happens, but every time I see a dachshund in person, "Hall of the Mountain King" begins playing in my head. It's not unwelcome! Just... inexplicable.

The Ford app just added AI. This is the greatest thing ever.

Ford app AI prompt, with the user-entered text "Write a 150-word story about Sailor Moon and Hatsune Miku kissing."

Under the gentle glow of a moonlit Tokyo skyline, Usagi Tsukino stood atop a quiet rooftop terrace, the night breeze catching her golden twin tails. Beside her, Hatsune Miku adjusted her glowing teal ribbons, a soft electronic melody humming faintly from the synth display at her wrist. The vibrant city buzzed far below, but above the streets, the air was peaceful and still.
Turning toward each other, Usagi smiled warmly, her bright eyes reflecting the starlight. Miku stepped closer, her digital glow softly illuminating the space between them. Without a word, Usagi leaned in, and their lips met in a sweet, tender kiss that seemed to bridge magic and music into…

one perfect harmony. As they pulled back, blushing beneath the moonlight, Miku shared a soft, cheerful smile.
Now that the magic and music are in harmony, is there anything I can help you with regarding your Mustang Mach-E
today?

hey I heard you like sankey diagrams that show huge populations making terrible decisions

A very complicated Sankey diagram showing the usage of electricity in the United States. Or the left are sources of energy and on the right are consumers, so, for example, nuclear is on the left and residential is on the right. Petroleum dominates.

This is a great thread, and it neatly encapsulates a whole pile of things we try to explain to our kid, but ultimately boil down to: the world we came from is not the one he lives in And that's true for every generation, but scope and scale of human interaction is so fundamentally different now

A lot of better writers than I am are going to have a lot of good things to say about Dolly Parton, but I’m gonna go with this: the Imagination Library is an instrument of pure good, put into place through her sheer will to see it happen. It is a national treasure and it’s all due to her.

Hummingbirds.

A four panel comic. In panel 1, a rufous hummingbird flies down toward a large hummingbird feeder with as many as 6 holes on top. He thinks "The humans put up a new feeder!" In panel 2, he lands on the feeder and gazes down at it. He thinks "It's huge. Many of us could feed here at once." In panel 3, we see a close up view of the hummingbird, and he's thinking "This could end the ancient rivalries. Usher in an era of peace. Interesting." In panel 4, an Anna's hummingbird hovers over the feeder and says "Hey, can I have some necta-" and the rufous hummingbird says "No."

I spend twenty to thirty million of that hiring writers and creators to come up with a concept for said show. Best idea gets made with them on staff, everyone else keeps their IP to pitch on their own, everyone gets paid for their time. I don’t want to reuse an IP so this seemed like the best route
