I love Guillermo del Toro calling ages 19 to 29 "sublime confusion"

The full quote: "I think the sublime confusion is from nineteen to twenty-nine. You think you are late for everything, you're a has been, nothing is happening, there's no opportunity for you, the world is closed, everything is a disaster, you wanna die. And then you're thirty. "
"You young people are in the exact age of desperation. I never felt more done and old than in my twenties. I'd say 'life has passed me and I did nothing.' But I'm here to tell you that's not true: you have a lot of fucking time."

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough.

VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing.

That reminds me that Skullgirls used dev voices as placeholders, and left one in on purpose for the announcer when selecting Fukua

#105 - MGSD XVX-016 Gundam Aerial

What a kit. Absolutely fantastic build, feels incredible in the hand and to pose and looks amazing. Extremely excited to get some more of these, and hope they do a lot with the line because it has tons of potential.

Highly recommended if you were on the fence!

It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again.

Another Angry Woman @stavvers.bsky.social · 4d

This is honestly a fascinating read, because it contains a full account of the judge taking the barrister into his office and making him print out all of his citations and point out the relevant paragraphs. Which obviously he couldn't do, because half of them didn't even exist.

Colin Murray @colinmurray.bsky.social · 4d

This latest "barrister meets AI" disaster is something all stage 1 law students should read. It is vital about the key skill of case reading - you mustn't use AI to substitute for the skill of being able to find cases and find key content in cases:

It's very back-heavy in that respect, but the alt-text many chapters ago for a particular scene was just

1/6,000,000,000

so the conceit is very much alive

Also if you are calling a woman "big dog" you are also implicitly calling her a bitch, which... yeah

Male dogs can be slightly larger than females of the same breed, but not always significantly so.

Wow. New Economist poll finds only 34% of Americans say ICE's use of force has been justified, vs 51% who say it's been excessive. And they oppose agents wearing masks by 52-35.

Yep, ICE is becoming a pariah agency, and that's gaining deep penetration in the culture:

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 5d

ICE's military raids and masked kidnappings are resonating deeply/negatively in the cultural spaces we keep hearing Dems need to reach: Manosphere, Joe Rogan, country music, disengaged voters. That's rare and it gives Dems a big opening to engage.

Thoughts on this:
