Ben Stiller followed me on here because I made a stupid, but mean comment about his films, whilst praising Severance.

Sorry @benstiller.redhour.com

You have earned my respect sir.

Being autistic is being told why didn’t you ask for help.

Because asking required social scripting, shame buffering, tone analysis, and a risk assessment.

Raph's thumb looks a bit rude, if your brain works that way.

Good job you got rid now. They're being pulled from USA retailers now as they purge their stock

Mister Stu @phorenzik.bsky.social · 13h

The only surprise here is that they're doing it now, instead of trying to shift their excess stock over the lucrative Xmas period

Wonder if Microsoft has killed the Xbox brand on purpose because of some tax write-off loophole?

There's no logical explanation for what they've done

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

Coming to a supermarket near you—cow eggs. Like chicken eggs but bigger and browner.

Wait. What?

A carton of eggs that say farmer's cow. With a big old picture of a cow in it.

I managed 2 minutes of the Graham Norton show last night.

Is he not allowed to ask anything other than "so, tell us about this new thing you're selling?"

The guests he gets and the possibilities are all squandered

An embarrassing, joyless, PR algorithm and nobody comes out of it looking good

Announce that you're autistic without knowing you're autistic

Netflix uses AI effects for first time to cut costs - www.bbc.com/news/article...

The excuse given was that projects that have smaller budgets need to use ai to compete

Perhaps, and bear with me, a multi billion dollar company should be giving them a bigger budget to alleviate this issue?

100% this.

UK mags had character. The personality of the writers shone through.

This is lacking in 99% of online games coverage today.

It's just so sterile and soulless.

Someone at workplace just converted a PNG to a JPG by printing out the PNG image and putting the resulting printout in a flatbed scanner, whereby the resulting scan was automatically saved as a JPG. 🫤

If you ever interview them, you must ask them this question.
