strong bad is a bluesky user while strong sad is a mastodon user. strong mad uses X, marzipan is on facebook and instagram, bubs exclusively uses nostr, the cheat uses as many as he can, and homestar is the only remaining myspace user somehow

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

AI haters 🤝 AI enjoyers

wishing the google AI summary didn’t exist
The google AI summary of my most famous piece of writing--a thousand word blog post--misunderstands it on a fundamental level. In doing so, it reproduces the way critical yet lazy scholars misunderstood it, by reading the title and filling in what they thought was the most likely meaning.
Are you citing things you have not read?

Knowing that LLMs are text-generation machines, not text-analysis machines, that's more than a bit irresponsible and suspect.

There should be a German word for the feeling that somebody should’ve been in the Epstein files and it’s weird that they aren’t. “Bill Maher gives me a bad case of Epsteinabwesenheitgefühl.”

It’s that time of the year where Home Alone is going to be on tv a bunch. As relatives go “they should have had a battery powered alarm” and make other judgments on the family’s lack of responsibility in forgetting their kid, get a better source to learn from what happened.
