I love this because my answer would be Falling Down, which would get points for being obscure and then immediately negated because I know it because it was used as the opening to the first episode of Eden of the East.

Why do they always get the guy who does slightly off Disney characters for ice cream vans to do this? What kompromat does he have?!

I would love to have a national Covid clean up day. Let’s have a Bank Holiday to get rid of all the social distancing ghost posters and various other associated errata.
Tired of all the Covid litter still hanging around. From signs in bathrooms to stickers on the floor. Today my dentist made me sign a form confirming I hadn't travelled to a country on the Covid Red List. The Red List was last updated in 2023 and abolished in 2024.

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.

In more wholesome news, I came home after a long day and @coneshotline.bsky.social had made kung pao chicken as a treat and I genuinely cried.

Another reason I am pragmatic on AI is that it's never going to make anything as good as this in a million years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oz88...

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

Still all in on this TBH.
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.
