31 years ago today, Homer Simpson, dressed as Krusty the Clown, traumatized a group of children when he pummeled the Krustyburglar at a franchise event.
“Homie the Clown” first aired on Fox on February 12, 1995.

I love how every time there’s a food task on The Apprentice it reveals that the contestants are all aliens who have never encountered human food before.

Not the point but why does his suit look like that?
He looks like an alien infiltrator wearing the skin of a slightly larger human he's just killed.

Keep being sent this completely nonsensical hogslop. It has multiple egregious lies, which is appropriate because he’s a fraud. Back in September 2024 he falsified a bunch of benchmarks to hype up his open source model. Article is total dogshit. I should annotate it venturebeat.com/ai/reflectio...

What I continue to find maddening about these pieces is, look, if your new technological innovation does not create new jobs and just destroys old ones...you don't actually *have* to keep doing it!
This post argues AI is having a moment similar to when you heard about some illness in China back in February 2020.
Tech workers just watched AI go from “helpful tool” to “does my job better than I do.” Everyone else is next. Get your financial house in order and lean into what’s hardest to replace

I am not an ostrich. AI obviously is having a material impact on a few sectors of the economy, but it's going to take more than a breathless blog post by someone who WORKS FOR AN AI START-UP to make me go full Butlerian Jihad.

If I had a pound for each Danganronpa meme about British politics I'd seen this week, I'd have two pounds, which isn't a lot, but it's still weird it happen twice.

I love how Millennials are speedrunning Boomerslop without us even having the massively inflated housing bubble to go along with it.
I saw a "Remember What They Took From You" one last year that was about, I swear I am not making this up, playing Mario Kart with a mate on his N64.

"Hammy McMillan" is a superb name for a curler and also one that doubles for someone who won the VC at Gallipoli, was elected a National Labour MP, briefly flirted with the New Party, and despite being tipped for great things in the Attlee Government, only ended up as Minister for Civil Aviation.

I've long felt that Liverpool Street is one of the most unimpressive and dull of the London terminii and I am grateful to a mate for informing me that this is a long-held opinion (from "The 5:18 Mystery" (1929) by J. Jefferson Farjeon).
