"data centres will protect us" - the opinion of someone who's greatest contribution to society would be to vanish under suspicious circumstances.

some animals are just mid, and I think we’d all be better off if we admitted that to ourselves
Eagles
Overrated bird. Wouldn’t be famous if not for America’s fixation on it.
Storks
Notable largely because of the whole baby delivery myth. Otherwise they fail to elicit strong emotion.
Seagulls
“All seagulls are boys. A girl wouldn’t do that.”
Squirrels
They sure are around.
Pigeons
They sure are around (city edition).

"why don't men wear more color." i only dress for the approval of dogs, who mostly see blue, white, gray, black, and brown in the way that we do, so i don't wear other colors.

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

Sorry, but I think I'll pass. I don't need to know how good the models are at CTFs; we just had a bunch of news stories about that.

In 2004 I saw Yudkowsky give a talk in which he said that when we upload our brains into the cloud and enter machine heaven, we will be able to taste the tastiest possible potato chip. That was his positive vision of the Singularity. I know it sounds made up, but he did say it.

This is a canary resuscitator, which miners would use to revive canaries that had passed out from toxic gas, because ideally not only do you care, you don't even leave the bird behind. just a little mining history and not at all a furious scream

Fear is a marketing tactic. A bad one, but a tactic. These people are telling themselves and the world ghost stories but neglecting the part where they remind you it's a story. Contrast with climate change, which is actually scary.

Okay so @defector.com has had an odd glitch since the site redesign a couple of weeks back where the wrong photo and headline are often put together on the main page and I was going to ask them about fixing it but this just happened and as far as I'm concerned they have to leave it as is.
Screenshot for a Defector podcast episode with the headline "Consider the Emotional Lives of Scallops" only the accompanying photo is a white gormless stubbled red-headed UK singer of recent notoriety giving a flat smile to the camera while wearing a washed out peach top as beige as he is against a flat background. So, actually, probably a scallop anyway.

Just woke up from a dream where I ordered a rum and coke at a bar and they asked what kind of ice I wanted, then showed me a menu with 60 different kinds of ice. Most were different shapes but some had flavours. I chose mint and my drink became mintier over time. Anyway good morning

When I went through school I had to get special exceptions to be able to type essays up because I didn't really have the hand strength to write. I think I was the only one at my high school doing the HSC on a laptop, too.
