had the spend the morning rebuilding a Looker Studio report from scratch because the person who made it tied it to their own account so it immediately broke once their permissions were removed. this is what happens when people get to build shit out of my line of sight...

can't wait to see this prick tossed out on his ass

EA is owned by the Saudis (who gruesomely execute people for petty offenses) and Jared Kushner (Trump's son-in-law) so maybe never give them money ever again

ok but dying all normal-like doesn't get you an immortal newspaper headline

something i realized about this age of generative AI is i don't trust things that have few or no buttons i see these ads like "buy this thing to control your AI workflow! it's 3 buttons and a screen!" no thank you. i want buttons. all the buttons. no buttons, no deal

communicating with my partner solely through images like this

Here's a thread of (some of) my art! I do a lot of mixed-media 2-D work about geography, landscapes (and timescapes), evolution, and what I call "deep stories" (parables, mythic, and religious narratives) that people use to make sense and meaning out of their experiences. #ArtSky #SciArt

I mean, also a lot of teenagers and children. I know it’s appealing to think these were all girlbosses standing up and making speeches at the stake, but many of them were literally children and it was a kangaroo court - nothing they could have said or done, in many cases, would’ve spared them.

*scrolling social media for 10 seconds* men aren't lonely enough

real talk is it not just possible to point an LLM at a PHP codebase and go "write this bih in ahhh Rust"

this is the same problem with using AI for stories. AI can't teach you the difference between "a story" and "a list of stuff that happened" either

our hearts go out to the families of those who died tragically at Laffy's House of Fun

Them: What do you want to be when you grow up? Me:

lol i first posted this 8 years ago, and here we are

elon musk is the wealthiest person, he controls the narrative on one of the most influential social media platforms, and he has had news, entertainment, and business media calling him a genius for decades the avg person thinks he’s a half-witted nazi douche bbc propaganda not gonna help jk rowling

learning how to NUT today (Linux tool)

folks i thought there was enough saliva in my mouth to dry swallow my meds today there was not i was terribly wrong

look, if you see some fucked up shit, "no i didn't" is a valid response, as is "i'm not gonna make this my problem"

Never let a cissie tell you that the trans panic defense isn’t real.

a stock scam, how novel

feels like people forget that a huge element of Trump's first campaign was him bebopping all over his opponents, just savagely mocking them in front of a cheering audience, and everybody loved it. the phrase "media circus" doesn't exist for nothing

sexually transmitted diarrhea, you gotta be shitting me

Juicing and turning into Alex Jones

Never fond of "history will judge this harshly" comparisons but my goodness does this look like a graph that will feature in so many future history, geography and economics textbooks. If there is a future OFC.

to this point: the most popular human tool by far was the handax, which was basically a sharp rock we hit stuff with, and relied on for about 1.5 million years

i don't feel so good

time traveling to 2006 to show someone complaining about the price of a PS3 how we got $1400 PS5s in 2026

the "huh, that's a weird post from somebody i don't know" to "ah, i get it, they're an awful person" pipeline

reminder that LIHEAP is funded for 2026 but Trump has been trying to cut it and may try to impede payments for it, making these increases even more painful to those who can least afford them

spank bank? uck. no; no. lesbians call it a yearn pantry

seriously. estranged parents are the people you should trust the *least* about what happened to the relationship because they are almost always the cause while being certain they aren't. i'm so tired of "estranged parent" articles only talking to the parents.

i assume the shock gloves they are giving cops are just so you'll be immobilized when they shoot you

what kind of person do you have to be to cheer the idea of destroying cities full of your fellow citizens? i get that they don't think non-Americans are human, but i guess they don't think anyone other than Trump-loving right-wingers are human, either

people have been gesturing at it for a while now but i think it's impossible to ignore at this point: the US is sliding into stagflation expect inflation to keep going up, rates to keep increasing, while the economy deteriorates it will be "solved" through deregulation and austerity

yeah i was wondering just how far the "apologizing and taking accountability" thing was gonna go, sounds like the answer is "not very far at all"

it was smart of jacob geller to only post about what he did to his 50k followers on here instead of to his 1.5 million youtube subs or on his patreon. that way fewer people know about it and he limits the financial hit
