oh thanks, this is great.

yes now that it is pointed out, very eugenics-y to go around saying “ah yes there is one true supreme bacteria, we should culture this bacteria on the human petri dish aka vagina”

Congrats on the bottom surgery youngster joey

Well, he’s a tech ceo guy, so he doesn’t know that buses or trains exist

ok so just imagine that I’ve sneered at the 100 worst aspects of this already. lol @ this being the fifth point

4. Safety: feeling safety is a prerequisite.

I was thinking of an LLM trained on sovereign citizens. AKA “I’m not hallucinating, I’m generating. There is no such thing as copyright under maritime law”

I have mixed feelings about speaking things into existence

Wake me up when there’s an agentic butt plug

I was recommended allbirds by my piano teacher. They suck

I haven’t been to awful in a minute, been busy with a combination of life, work, and Hades II. Here are my answers:

• TV series that deserve more seasons: I would like 10 more seasons of Young Justice.
• Books as anime: Something like Catch-22 or Slaughterhouse V could work as animation. Maybe not anime specifically, but hey why not. Also, I learned recently that Deltora Quest, an action/adventure fantasy series for young teens was adapted into an anime, like, a while ago.
• I’m not enough of a film bro to have a quality comment on what should be in a film studies course. Instead I’ll say my favourite movie of all time Everything Everywhere All at Once. It’s a shame that the directors haven’t done anything since, especially not any shitty both sides-y documentaries/credulous AI propaganda.
• Muppet version? I would like the movie “Joker” replaced throughout reality with “Muppet Joker”

Riding this high for a while folks

Old by modern standards but this dramatic reading of some shit the suno guy said got me to laugh: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVLmCoNj_PB/

Did I mention that one of your more recent eps covered some shit so odious I stress ate a pile of oreos? Keep up the good work

I started using duolingo for japanese in maybe 2022 and quit in maybe 2024. I did 4 years of Japanese in high school and so I had a vague memory of grammar and some vocab. Duo didn’t really improve my situation; I think all i got out of duolingo was frustration.

Also, I can’t speak to other examples of it, but the gamification was ass. Games are usually trying to be fun.

ok ngl I didn’t actually read the article at first (can you blame me) but since you pointed that out, FUCK. That’s so fucking pathetic. I was imagining a scenario where scott had met epstein IRL but had gotten “jock” vibes from him and decided not to associate based on that.

nice. this would probably make a roko’s basilisk believer uncomfortable and i like that

was doomscrolling and got fucking jumpscared by this fucking article: https://www.science.org/content/article/meet-three-scientists-who-said-no-epstein

Istg this has come up before, i am just too lazy to prove it. Still. Why would anyone want this

I’ve been seeing some people (not here, I’ve been taking a break) saying that we shouldn’t be mean to clankers by bringing up Kant’s position on being nice to animals. Well. Fuck all that.

ah, yes, we must defend “race science”, the heretical political belief that gets millions from techbros that are empowered politically right now due to the rise in fascism. So brave, it’s almost like we’re on the internet 15 years ago talking about Ron Paul /s
