If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

If you’re in Charlottesville and you like getting comments on your t-shirts, just wear one from @critterbutts.bsky.social and you’ll get plenty of approving ones.

I enjoy visiting people I’ve known since I was in college. Got two in one day, and two great hugs.

And I didn’t get the tickets to the Zelda concert. I suspect they sold out rather quickly, but instead of alerting people remaining in the queue, the website allowed us to waste an hour waiting for nothing.

I’m near Boston so I’d prefer to hear it at the BSO, but yeah. They already added more from the original announcement.

Good work! I'm wishing I bought a BSO membership so I could get early access. I got in line 14 seconds in and I was number 2139.

I wonder how many scalpers joined the BSO just to get early tickets, and will that $75 be backed into the scalper price?

Joined the queue at 10:00:14 to get tickets for the Boston Pops performing the Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary, and there were 2100 people ahead of me. I'm really hoping most of these people ahead of me aren't scalpers.

What do you do when you get a sudden windfall? Like, $1000 or more when you weren’t expecting it, and you don’t need it to pay your day-to-day expenses. My philosophy is to give myself a treat with some of the money, like books or a video game, and put the rest away for later. How about you?

Seth Moulton lost badly to Senator Markey in Massachusetts because we recognized this fundamental truth. He could have tried to turn his comments around and learn something, but he refused and his career is over.

Funny, I downloaded the Vinted app and the next day I started getting spam scam emails about selling Tiva flipflops on Vinted. Before I even made an account.

Screenshot of tweet (sorry) from @byron_queen that says “finally reading House of Leaves” and below is the standard Domino’s delivery pizza box, covered in words and pictures about pizza, a cacophony of visual noise that goes beyond gaudy and teeters on the brink of old timey farmers almanac pizza madness.

Leaving the store today I saw a cybertruck parked in a handicapped space, and I was all prepared to hate this douchebag more until I noticed he had the correct tags. Still a douchebag, just less of one than he could have been.

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."

I don't even have the option of switching from "most relevant" to "newest." The toggle is just completely missing, both on the app and on Chrome.

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

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!

Adventure Time was the first thing I looked for. The list is notably missing a lot of good animation.
