starring Patton Oswalt as the apple that gets eaten alive. If I showed this to my high school self he would laugh himself into an aneurysm

this is the funniest fucking thing I've watched in a long time. I can't believe that anyone intended this as serious because it's like a dadaist masterpiece

This is an actual campaign ad by Andrew Cuomo.

It features an AI generated pregnant and feminized "bill."

Reddit allowing people to hide their posts and comments from their profile is fucking crazy - whenever you see behavior that is shill or trolling or any other worst-of-the-Internet shit, the profile will be empty because bot or douchebag and Reddit Shall Protect That

the average fucking-moron-ness of Google has reached the point where they failed one of their core tasks which is that someone spamming a calendar invite (which does go to Spam in e-mail) does not get to actually schedule a motherfucking event, much less one with a reminder executed as notification

according *TO HER*, Kat set those extremely normal boundaries before the interview

... and I mean if there's anything that gives me hope in younger generations is that if they are clear about their boundaries and you violate them anyway they tell you to fuck right off like they should

Pretty standard journalism. I didn’t expect hostility — but halfway through the interview, she ended it. Just sign off in the middle of a question.

It was genuinely shocking.

Before we started, she mentioned that there were some things she couldn’t discuss because it’s an ongoing legal case. That’s normal. I’ve heard that line hundreds of times. She could have easily said, “I can’t get into the details, but here’s what I can say.” Instead, she shut down.

I took exactly one journalism course which was taught by someone who interned at Hearst when Hearst died and his course was full of lessons like "if the interviewee says a topic is off limits, it's off limits"

I mean shit, maybe a congressional candidate wants to talk about her candidacy? Imagine

what I see is a freshly showered Kat saying I don't want to speak to the specifics of the indictment and then a dipshit interviewer ignoring that and asking again, so she politely signs off to do something more productive

dumbass interviewer calls this "standard journalism". No, that is not

I just had a Katie Porter moment with congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh. The interview lasted 3 minutes.

I remember Knol for the fact that a friend of mine thought it was very cool and wanted to show me at work and then clicked on a random article which turned out to be "Gonorrhea"and loaded a picture of a diseased cock

depths of wikipedia @depthsofwikipedia.bsky.social · 2d

In 2008, Google created an ad-powered wiki encyclopedia called Knol, seen as a "Wikipedia killer" amid its highly-publicized launch. And the Wikimedia Foundation gave an unbothered response that I quite like: "the more good free content, the better for the world." Anyway Knol instantly flopped

I watched a video about making Yocto "firmware" this morning and decided to spread the gospel of artisanal software distribution being a time-waster

IMHO the better way is to just get Debian running and have a very small package delta for a device. I have shouted "BUSYBOX" way too many times in anger on systems that have gigs and watched many people burn out or just abandon their Yocto builds. If you miss the challenge you can just adapt Nix for it or prepare an American's tax return

Well that maybe is the whitest story I've ever seen; guy refers to not technically his aunt as his aunt

lmao

My Post headline

Mamdani didn’t tell the whole truth about his hijab-wearing ‘aunt’ who feared for safety post-9/11

The “aunt” who Zohran Mamdani said was too afraid to wear her hijab on the subways after 9/11 was actually his dad’s cousin.

video: "someone called code enforcement!"

video: "... about this fence, saying it has to be torn down"

yeah, code enforcement is fucking right you can't moat your property with a fence that covers a driveway and walkup. EMTs would be like how the fuck do we get into the goddamned house
