If you like yuri and pop rock, have I got a single for you!

Your Sound (ft @splendiferachie.xyz) is a lesbian panic attack about separation anxiety, backed with the explosive slow-burn of Dud Gold (ft @renko.studio).

Portlandia reboot getting out of pocket:
Chainsaw Man is simultaneously worthy of serious discussion for its heartfelt look at society and cycles of abuse and dehumanization, and it's also like, a fantastic nonstop barrage of shitposts

My favorite instance of this was meeting a CalArts classmate of Pen Ward's just after the Adventure Time pilot went viral, and some one else there asked her if Pen "was high all the time," and she was already exhausted with giving an explanation that boiled down to "no, he's just like that."

You know, I'm at the point where I don't care if these leaders do or don't know whether it's just smoke & mirrors, or if sincere market manipulation.

Call it Hanlon's Clark's 3rd Law: sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

Time for my usual morning routine, pouring myself a cup of coffee and checking the stock price of the company "Nvidia" to find out if the entire economy has crashed

Wish it was clear from the article how much remote work is deceptively inflating the average here. I may be at home more, but my social life has if anything improved since going remote since I'm not spent from pointless transit commutes nor worried about trying to get to bed early to catch transit.

"Beegirl & Grungler" sounds like a great What A Cartoon! pilot or Kablam! segment from 1997.
I believe beegirl and grungler can find love

It's wild that Tyler the Creator had absolutely savage bars about BoB & Hailey Williams due to this song, yet I feel like this being in the actual Wikipedia article is a deeper dig. Like, a fan wiki, sure, but this being in Wikipedia proper has gotta sting more than a throwaway diss.

Here's the thing: the problem here isn't that NVIDIA is doing circular accounting (necessarily), it's that receivables are growing and so is inventory, which makes people worried things are being shipped without payment. It could be fine!

I believed things were fine more before I read this memo.
I mean, it'd be even funnier if they didn't even realize they were doing circular accounting with all of these deals, so this was totally sincere on their part. It would really underline how much this is run by people who are way out of their depth given the scale of everything they're involved in.

It is wild to me that the largest company on the stock market, one with such incredible prestige and a huge PR team got dog-walked here. Why would you EVER give this ANY oxygen? Now everybody is asking whether NVIDIA is like Enron! This didn't help at all!
Nvidia refuted accounting questions in a memo to analysts, saying "Unlike Enron, NVIDIA does not use Special Purpose Entities to hide debt and inflate revenue" (Tae Kim/Barron's Online)

Realizing this is even more fodder "Dr. Who is British Tokusatsu" in hindsight, on account of the 5 doctors bit basically being a forerunner to this:

Shoutout @beatskelton.bsky.social & @funky49.com for reminding me I have enough loose tracks & mini EPs to make a compilation album. Maybe I'll do that in December. Maybe something like this, but I bet I've got a couple of other bits that'd fit this I haven't added: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Finished this & it's so damning how Disney Parks operate very similarly to the way many tech companies operate now: here's a big, deceptive demonstration that we likely know we won't ship to customers, or even if we do, there's zero assurances it'll be as promised or be supported in the long term.
So you made a robot stand up and talk... now what? In this over 4-hour journey, Kevin follows the promise of Disney's Living Character Initiative, an effort to populate Disney theme parks with free-roaming, interactive beings. It was touted as the future. How's it going? Watch here: bit.ly/49C6vng

Also, consider spatchcocking the turkey, especially if you have a convection oven. It takes work, but it cooks faster (or gives a chance for your ill-thawed bird to cook more evenly,) and the result is juicy and delicious. Just get ready to put your whole weight on that bird, maybe even cleaver it:
