I've resigned myself to the fact that no matter what I do with the rest of my life, THIS is what I will be remembered for.

There's nothing AI can't fuck up. Amazing new failures are coming if they can stay in business long enough to fall on their faces AGAIN.

“We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil, and other elements of Trade, as retribution.”

Trump: I believe that China purposefully not buying our Soybeans, and causing difficulty for our Soybean Farmers, is an Economically Hostile Act. We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil, and other elements of Trade, as retribution. As an example, we can easily produce Cooking Oil ourselves, we don't need to purchase it from China.

Alligator is perfect low-expectations monster fun with a quality cast... and an absolutely INSANE amount of uncredited Jerry Goldsmith needle-drop from his score for the Twilight Zone episode "The Invaders."

The poster for the movie Alligator. A painted image in cool blues with pink text. A huge alligator leers out at us from a brick sewer tunnel.

"It lives 50 feet beneath the city. It's 36 feet long. It weighs 2,000 pounds. …And it's about to break out!"

Claiming they've put out the insanity-acceleration fire in the same post as announcing the upcoming sex-addiction and erotic impersonation rape-fantasy fires. We're moving fast, folks!

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.

It's a parlor trick.

And what you REALLY want to see is what YOU DIDN'T KNOW you wanted to see. Always. Media companies ride that exact newness/fatigue roller coaster over and over again, and never learn the lesson.

This ludicrous notion pre-supposes that entertainment and culture can exist and have value without communal experience. A show just for me?! Moronic and doomed to fail.

Burgess Meredith as Henry Bemis in the Twilight Zone episode "Time Enough at Last".

This last, doomed last jackass on Earth thinks his stories have meaning without other people to share them with, and he's appropriately spanked for it.

Because @josie.zone was talking about it, I just have to post about Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.

A graphic adventure from 1992, this is one of my favorite old school PC games of all time.

It’s as good or better than any of the films, and I see it as the true fourth entry in the saga.

I deny the validity of the very concept of an "intended audience". The audience chooses you… or not. That is all.

After Ozzy died (RIP) I did a deep dive, first into Ozzy’s entire catalog, but then into Black Sabbath’s as well. And I gotta say, by the late 80s, Sabbath got pretty dumb. But those sub-par songs inspired this ode, so no regrets! Thanks for the delicious carbs, Satan #microsong #blacksabbath

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Yes. Granted, the kid who did the drawing wasn't present, but the idea that criticism can be HELP is a massive change in the way people typically think.

Our municipality just canceled the Halloween parade they put on for the kids every year, but at least we invested in one of these! (We have virtually zero crime.)
