Attention! I have created a bootleg t shirt for Hyperreal film club that you can pre-order here! The more pre-orders it gets, the more likely it gets printed nice-style by Raw Paw! Please give it, and the other nice shirt designs, a look. rawpaw.ink/products/gre...

GREMLENS 3 by dinnervan

Widely regarded as when the series went off the rails, Gremlins 3 remains a cultural touchstone for children of the hyper-capitalistic 1980's and beyond. Relive the soulless fever dream of Gremlins 3

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa

Matt Burgess (WIRED) @mattburgess1.bsky.social · 10h

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

You're overlooking Jared Leto, I think.

I've seen a LOT of people saying they're not going to see it just based on him being in it.

Also, the fact that Disney didn't bother to properly follow up on Legacy.

setting aside the fact that they just don’t know what jokes are, this gives a big insight into the mind of white nationalists. they are deeply paranoid about the idea of being percieved as anything other than Epic Stoics

There’s something missing in Greg Abbott. Over the last decade, he seems to have learned to fill it by moving troops around, a hobby which is having a stranger and stranger effect on his country as time goes by: www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...

What the Texas National Guard Deployment Tells Us About Greg Abbott

Our governor can be a maddeningly inscrutable figure. His latest exercise in ordering troops around can help us understand him.

What middle and upper class cis het white people need to understand is that they only have as many rights as the most vulnerable do. You have only the rights trans people and immigrants do.

Ryan Marino, MD @ryanmarino.bsky.social · 4d

Do you really have any rights if they are openly saying they will just make up reasons to detain you?

thematthill.bsky.social @thematthill.bsky.social · 6d

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

Dale Whistler, the artist behind Thundercloud's giant subs that sit on top of some shops, also made "the Hyde Park Gym arm, the green Mangia monster, the rotating metal bat near Congress Avenue, the fruit that sits atop the downtown Whole Foods parking garage" !!!! www.kut.org/austin/2025-...

Who makes the giant sandwiches on top of Austin's Thundercloud Subs?

The iconic fake sandwiches can be spotted all around town. Each is about 16 feet long and 4 feet wide. They weigh up to 800 pounds.

On Monday, Yacht Club Games delayed the much-anticipated upcoming game Mina the Hollower.

On Tuesday, I visited their studio and saw the game. It made for a rare glimpse at why a video game gets delayed and what "polish" actually means.

Why 'Mina the Hollower' Was Delayed

Yacht Club Games hasn't given a new release date, but the delay shouldn’t be more than a few months

I like how we’re getting “jet set radio but you’re a train”, “tony hawk but you’re a demon” and “ready 2 rumble but you’re a muppet.” Let’s see what else we got. Power Stone with bug girls. Bass Fishing with homosexuals. Shenmue for Goths.
