Variation upon the well-known XKCD cartoon showing all modern digital infrastructure as an unstable structure. In this variation, the sturcture is covered by a thick muddy sludge, indicated as AI slop.

I resent how media always shows d&d being played with battle mats, miniatures and dice. Instead, my group uses a blender, tequila and triple sec hahaha. Anyways, no mr officer, I won't be taking that breathalyzer so you might have to try and arrest me

Reading an article about AI agents and just struck by how much this technology is made by, made for, used by, is foundationally based on the assumptions of "manager brain" or "owners". You never do things, you have others do things for you, which now counts as yours. Delusional way to see the world.

one day, you might realize that suffering is pointless.
Suffering did not make you better. It just harmed you. It slowed you down from achieving your goals.
Suffering even prevented you from doing things that were jmportant.
There was no noble tradeoff for suffering. The point of suffering is that it is pointless.

Panel 1: 
Pink guy standing next to a toaster with a piece of very burnt toast. He says “Urgh, you useless fucking bolt box”

Transition that reads “12 Years Later”

Panel 2:
Pink Guy bursts into a hospital with his unconscious son in his arms. He yells: “somebody help me. My son is very sick”

Panel 3:
There is a shadowy doctor in the foreground. Pink Guy implores him “Doctor, please” the Doctor replies, “well well”

Panel 4: The Doctor reveals himself and oh my god is the toaster from the first panel who has now become sentient and got his doctorate. He sneers “wellll well well well well well”

This is panda honey. I always knew that pandas secreted honey, I just didn’t realise they could make commercial quantities of honey. It turns out Panda Australia has been breeding pandas since 2019 to ramp up honey production. This is the first bottle of panda-only honey I’ve ever eaten and it’s 🥰

We naively assumed that they were spending $18bn because they wanted to own anything more than the label. Someone could just print off a couple of PNGs with every major game company’s logo on it and let them trade those back and forth forever in a twilight zone of their own devising

rip sam. here is a story about farts and Princess di he told. what a legend.
text from an interview with Sam Neill and Chef Goldblum.

Interviewer: how long has it been since you've seen the original Jurassic Park?

Sam Neill: The last time I watched it in its totality was sitting beside princess Di at Leicester Square at the London opening. On the other side of me was my son Tim - he was 11 and completely swept away by it, but about the time the t-rex turns up, Tim started to fart. And the draft started drifting across me to royalty! I spent the whole film in a muck sweat, thinking, "Princess Di is being exposed to the horrors of a little boy's fart, but she's going to think it's me. I am going to be subliminally blamed for my son's crimes, and I don't think she'll talk to me afterwards." But she was well brought up and never mentioned it.

Jeff Goldblum: I love that story, Sam. I've heard him tell that a couple of times, and it's just amazing the lengths he will go to still blame the boy.

LRP: my condolences to the original author But “it’s also a police procedural” seems like a way to scaffold an RPG session for the newest, greenest players. “You’re telling me that we’re all one fish with a knife? Uh… we send the blade to the lab and after the next scene we want a full report”

I know we all know this, but just to reiterate, when a company lays off workforce *without itself closing* what the executives are actually doing is stealing the future wages of their workers - wealth that the workers themselves generated - to line their own cash-stuffed pockets.

It took me way too long to re-find this quote since all search engines suck now, but this is true
Like all charms, it will lose its Magic when it becomes a Method.

Beware the shell-less snail.

There is not a fence that will keep out the porcupine; to try is folly. 

One must pay one's taxes, sometimes.
