A professional geek. This one time, on Jeopardy, I got to respond correctly with "What is Nine Inch Nails?" and it made my day. This profile consists mainly of three things: #Jeopardy, #FFXIV, #simracing twitch.tv/zer0bandwidth

I saw that look on my dad's face a lot, toward the end of his life. It was the look of a man no longer capable of comprehending the world around him.

A little known fact about the CARS universe, is that post-World War 2 many Volkswagens, BMWs and Mercedes fled to Cargentina to avoid the Nuremberg Time Trials

I mean, I *guess* that's *one* way to frame the utter and total destruction of Americans' ability to save money for retirement.

I'm going out on a limb to say they probably see the "I'm exhausted" vibe a lot and will be sympathetic.

Are we *sure* that's not just a screenshot from @automationgame.bsky.social ? Because that is absolutely something I would try to make in that game.

Sitting at my desk and suddenly wishing that Sir Patrick Stewart were on Cameo, so I could humbly request a dramatic reading of the line, "Give me fuel. Give me fire. Give me that which I desire!" Because that is the sort of self-torture my brain inflicts on me when it's allowed an idle moment. 🤓😅

Largo and Naphyr are now older than I was when I first imagined them. Naphyr first appeared in a D&D campaign in 2001. Largo was a replacement character in a Planescape campaign in 2003. Jeeeeebus, I'm old.

They are the bullies and the toadies whose feelings of inferiority lead them to beat up the smart kids while shouting "HA HA YOU'RE STUPID YOU'RE THE STUPID ONE" and secretly crying inside because they know they're living a lie but the truth hurts even worse.

They want to call it Super Intelligence instead of Artificial Intelligence because they don't want to be constantly reminded that it's fake and they will remain as stupid as they always were; they instead want to feel superior to the people whom they know are, and always will be, naturally smarter.

My local station just cut off tonight's #Jeopardy episode less than a second after the last FJ wager was revealed, before Ken had even finished saying it aloud, because they are smart and great at their jobs. 🙄

I love the "No... (chuckle) NO, Jack!" like he's chiding a precocious child who has just been caught doing something terrible, and should have known better, but who is still smiling about it.

There were more little things, too, that kept adding to the mess. And the regret. You know that one "Malcolm in the Middle" cold-open where Hal ends up with half the house and car torn apart and all he wanted to do was change a light bulb? Kinda like that.

I got up this morning thinking about chilling out and playing games. One side of the sink has been full of dishes for, like, a year. So I settled in to just do the dishes. That led to discovering that the disposal is broken and clogged. The universe is making me regret being responsible today.

Somebody probably just calculated the possible financial losses from the inevitable lawsuits from families in which someone chose not to vaccinate based on guidance and then died a predictably horrific death.

I was seated at the deli next to some old guy proudly wearing a red hat emblazoned with "TRUMP 2028", and, dear reader, I am now safely home, having neither spat on his food, nor peppered him with obscenities, nor slapped his ignorant face, nor tripped him on his way out the door. Please clap.

Maybe the average AI evangelist is motivated by a deep dissatisfaction with his previous interactions with humanity. And maybe those interactions were dissatisfying because the average AI evangelist is an irredeemably narcissistic piece of shit who lacks both introspection and empathy.

Need any other reasons to abandon all Meta platforms immediately?
Two posts from Laura Bassett.

"Someone just sent me a Chase ad that features an AI version of me. What do I do?"

"Okay. Apparently Meta updated its terms so that they can use your photos and videos to generate AI versions of you that your friends can see in ads."

Would be 0% surprised if that wasn't always the plan. 1. Dangle huge signing bonuses. 2. Hire all the eager young thugs who show up. 3. Let them run wild and do thug things. 4. Fire them for cause (i.e. the very thuggy things they may or may not have been encouraged to do) 5. Never pay the bonuses.

Watching #WheelOfFortune is weird this week. Were the contestants and audience still hearing Mr Chat Room in the studio? Have they credited the emergency voiceover guy yet? What other Magic of Television has been edited in?

If there's one thing we can learn about the administration's recent reactions to @atrupar.com is that Mr Trump is working ever harder to surround himself with young white blonde girls who remind him of his daughter. Pardon me while I go throw up.

Here's the full raw conversation. He had to "call and talk to his people" about what was going on at Ground Zero. He was concerned with cleaning dirty debris out of the way. He was "disappointed that they closed the stock exchange". He's mourning the *skyline*. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcKl...

Sorry for the hyper-local blurt, but it's so funny so see Shannon Taylor taking an opportunity to dunk on (coughs for emphasis) convicted child sex offender Joe Morrisey in state-wide campaign ads. He's not even running for office. He just deserves to be perpetually dunked on. #RVA
