putting on a random simpsons on and....

A screencap from the The Simpsons' opening credit. Bart is at the blackboard writing "The President Did It" is not an excuse. From "Mayored to the Mob" a season 10 episode, placing it squarely in the Clinton era.

A completely made-up quickly fabricated movie poster for Star Trek III. It features the photograph of Leonard Nimoy made up as Spock, wearing an early version of the blue velour tunic from the Star Trek pilot. He faced away from the camera so we only see his back as he stands against a gray wall. Now, words are superimposed over this: "Spock's back. Star Trek III The Search for Spock" along with the block of movie credits at the bottom. All credit goes to the original creator, Paramount; I own nothing.

Chronic Illness Humor @chronicillness.bsky.social · 1d

@QueerlyAutistic There's this entire myth that loads of people are faking/ /exaggerating sickness for some social/ financial benefit, but the reality is that most people are actually pretending to be LESS sick than they are because that's what society demands. The big bombshell spoiler is that people aren't faking illness or disability, they're re faking wellness and functionality.'

And perhaps it is only a bright light to some, but today at archive HQ a handful of us came together and rescued from an old dodgy drive a one of a kind compilation of a lifetime of research done by a writer so that his successor can complete the work.

I made this adorable worm the other day and don't remember why, so I release it into the world! 🪱🪱🪱

The worm emoji but really big so it's a bit blurry and pixelated. The worm has been edited to have cute little freckles and pink blush on it's cheeks, so it's blushing cutely as it smiles. Underneath it's head are the two pointing fingers emojis, the one pointing to the right and then the one pointing to the left, so that it looks like the worm is bashfully twiddling it's fingers together, or whatever you call that gesture. This is all on a white background

ChatGPT’s new Atlas browser doesn’t just see what you read — it remembers it.

@eff.org’s Lena Cohen showed me it even logged “memories” of her looking for *abortion care* and her doctor’s name. Out-surveils even Chrome.

My @washingtonpost.com column: wapo.st/49bOcVC

Column | ChatGPT just came out with its own web browser. Use it with caution.

OpenAI’s Atlas promises AI-powered convenience. The price? Letting ChatGPT track and store “memories” of what you do online.

@straczynski.bsky.social Hi, I just had a quick question. I wanted to see if I recall in my old age right. Back during B5 run, was there not a story of how a hotel accidentally threw out your babylon 5 story notes for season 5? Or am I miss remembering?

Marty McFly arrived in the future (2015) Hill Valley 10 years ago today. It was also the "95th launching of the USSA space shuttle", according to this concept art for a 2015 smartphone-like device.

In reality, there were 135 launches from 1981 to 2011, all space shuttles combined.

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction
