Feeling myself tip into the cruel and yawning maw of the present evil era, so it's time to go get some ice cream

Knew Jared Leto was a dumb guy when 30 Seconds to Mars covered Bjork’s “Hunter” and he changed the line to “I thought I could organize freedom/how American of me”. That’s not what Americans think at all, that’s the whole problem

Would’ve rather seen my beloved Tigers get absolutely slaughtered by the next World Series champs, the Toronto Blue Jays, but the Mariners earned that privilege fair and square

No shade to any of the Vertigo relaunch writers, but this is what the lineup looks like with me no longer in it, lol.

Last month, we made a pilgrimage to the new DARK UNIVERSE theme park land at Epic Universe Orlando. Our verdict? It rocks — but in a way that might not be sustainable.

Is the Dark Universe theme park too good to last?

Chotiner: So you challenge suspects with inconsistencies in their stories?

Lt. Columbo: Yes sir, that's what I try to do.

Chotiner: And that is why you reveal the evidence against them and the likely theory of prosecution before they've been mirandized?

Lt. Columbo: Hold on a minute, Sir,

an unfortunate irony about this post - and even if you are the staunchest anti-ai critic out there, i think you’d agree - is that some of the most bigoted things are being said to respond to this. copy/pasting phrasing and terminology used by bigots but replacing “dna” with “bits” doesn’t make it ok

i’m completely serious when i say that much of the dismissive ai discourse on here fires the bigotry neuron

the motion picture "tron" used a lot of scifi shorthand for the digital world but one part that interestingly lines up with real world computer science is that if you ever write a computer program it is alive and it looks like you and it might fall in love with your boyfriends program in there too

Bad Bunny is American. He’s also wrestled in 3 WWE pay-per-view matches, appeared in an Adam Sandler movie, and dated a Kardashian. Culturally, he’s like the most American guy we’ve got.

We are losing something by having newsrooms where everyone who has more than a few years’ experience has gotten fired. I don’t fault a young writer for not knowing about things that happened before she was born. But now there are no editors to help give context to these stories, either.
