When I say I want superhero shows for adults, I want Lanterns, not the Boys. I want adult themes and swearing and murder mysteries, not gratuitous "what if superman was bad" blood and cheap sex jokes.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

System Shock 2 is free on Epic this week, and I just booted it up and smiled when the Looking Glass Games logo game up.

Facebook’s notification system is completely fucked. I was listing something on marketplace, clicked the button that sent a notification to my phone to upload photos from it, and that entirely new notification was behind the “see previous notifications” clickthrough. It was twenty down on the list.

All my plans for the weekend have been screwed up, so I spent today cleaning and grinding out the last few triumphs I needed to become Immortal. (And buy the t-shirt.) #Destiny2
Swashbucklr's Destiny 2 character, dressed in gold and blue armor with a wolf's head helmet. On either side of the character are pictures of his equipment. His power level is 458.

Over the last few years since I hundred-percented the achievements, Terraria added about thirty more, and my brain was compelled to spend my free time rebuilding everything in the damn game so I could get back to 100%. Why, brain? Why do this to me. I have Destiny 2 triumphs to get!

I will not describe the clog I pulled out of my shower drain yesterday, only that it had weight to it and the drain works and smells much better now. Probably the grossest homeowner task so far.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."

If you’re in the past and the exact year doesn’t matter, it’s “dickity-two.” If you’re in the future and the exact year doesn’t matter, it’s “exty-six.” “19-dickity-two” vs. “20X6”. (“Diggity-two” is also acceptable.)

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

Lucked out at the local Friends of the Library sale with the first, second, and fourth graphic novel of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! It’s something I didn’t know I wanted until I saw them, and then had to get the books. Libraries are great.
Three books titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, with pictures of green teenage mutant turtles wielding ninja weapons.
