So satisfying to finish up a project that has your browser tabs looking like this and you can finally close the whole window.

I think this one thinks I'm talking about AI or something? Regarding a post made in 2022?

Grok's response here definitely tells me at some point someone asked Grok what I'm referring to, and it likely responded accurately, so Elon had them change it so Grok would dunk on him less. This pretty much confirms my theory that Elon has seen the post.

This is, legitimately, my favorite one. This person thinks Elon wrote X himself. I've written more of X than Elon has, having actually developed Twitter. I'd be using MY software to post it. But the best part is: the viral post screenshot is from Mastodon, my guy.

And from the 'X definitely doesn't suck department" we have this lovely smattering of characters. He seems to trying to make some pun work based on my name?

Here's a shot of Hank McCoy attaching black electrical tape to a mannequin. Dude, WHY are we going in for a cup? This movie is so fuckin' weird.

Rod Hilton @rodhilton.bsky.social · 20/07/2026
There's literally no tension in this entire movie, based on this shot. Stormbreaker flew through a fully-powered-up Infinity Gauntlet to nail Thanos. Doom stops it with 2 fingers. "Whooooa Doom is badass!" okay but that means this crew has 0% chance at stopping him. He wins. Movie over.

Rather than yet another Toy Story sequel, I bet Disney could really clean up by re-rendering all new animation for the first Toy Story while keeping the exact audio track. Frame for frame but doesn’t look like the first animated film ever made.

Bernthal is executive producer on this special, his condition to Disney for returning was that he'd have more creative control - he's even listed as a writer on OLK. Once you realize this special was specifically made for the Punisher fans who would vote for Trump a fourth time, it all clicks.

Rod Hilton @rodhilton.bsky.social · 18/05/2026
I've looked the other way on Bernthal's portrayal of Castle as a grunting savage moron. Certainly not my preferred version of the tactical cool-headed Punisher, but fine. But if you think Punisher should be a cop hero, you fundamentally misunderstand the character. screenrant.com/jon-bernthal...

Rod Hilton @rodhilton.bsky.social · 18/05/2026
Punisher: OLK is not a special about The Punisher, the comic character. It's about the fan version of the character, specifically the fans who have thin blue line decals next to his logo on their F-150s. The entire plot is a home invasion by poor people complicated by Frank giving up his guns.

Spoiler alert: everything Elon personally dislikes he will designate as harming humanity and rugpull all the money

Last week of the D&D campaign I'm volunteering to run at school. They just hit lvl 3 and are about to face their BBEG. Been doing theater of the mind all semester, but I'm busting out the battle map and miniatures for this one. Best part is, the 3D printer arrived. Making custom figs for each kid.

Oh my god I just witnessed the evolved version of the "file a ticket" blow-off. Someone asked another person a question, and was asked to redirect the question to their Claude-powered simulation of themselves instead.

I just don't understand why people participate in markets like this. You're literally betting on an outcome that is fully determined by insiders ALSO PARTICIPATING IN THAT MARKET. You're basically betting on happening into the longshot position they manip into.

Really loving that browsers can't seem to agree on how rounded the corners should be on their windows when they're overriding the default window painting. This is Safari on top of Chrome on top of Brave, all maximized to the exact same space.

I asked Claude to implement something and it spat out the most convoluted (but working) 200-liner. I asked "wouldn't something like this be simpler?" and gave it about 15 LoC. It goes "oh yes, that would be" then proceeds to commit MY OWN CODE with this at the bottom, the fucking audacity.

I wonder what Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein would look like if the title character actually looked more like an ugly creature cobbled together from a bunch of dead corpses and less like a frat guy wearing a halloween costume who is still hoping to get laid.

I genuinely don't understand why anyone places any trust in AI results. I'm not an anti-AI zealot, I use AI tools every day for a variety of things, but assuming correctness just seems bananas to me, I genuinely feel like they're almost never correct.

Rod Hilton @rodhilton.bsky.social · 22/01/2026
It remains staggering to me how terrible Google AI overviews are. It is so consistently wrong that it seems like the best way to derive an answer to any question is to assume the opposite of what it says. None of the links it cites here support the claim. And yet it is so self-confidently worded.

Well that's okay - being banned from one server shouldn't be a big deal because one of the selling points of the federated approach is that you can easily move your account between servers and that process is really smooth and works well, right? Right?

This SendGrid email about adding an ICE support banner to all my outgoing emails is fascinating. I don't use SendGrid, this is a spammer trying to get me to click the link in the e-mail. Think about what it says about the public at large and our corporations that they would use this tactic.
