"words of affirmation"
"physical touch"
NO the only way I wish to show or receive affection is by sending someone a little picture of something insulting and writing "this is you"

This guy does not understand the concept of conversations, parties, or humour. Very peculiar.

One of the changes that OpenAI has made to make ChatGPT safer is a "take a break" nudge. There's something quite interesting about the design here. Which thing does it make you want to click?

Important His Dark Materials question. Do daemons poo? They ARE tangible; they interact with the world around them; but they are not necessarily corporeal, as they pop out of existence when we die.

Mario Kart: Double Dash contains a bizarre "eternal European pain" glitch whereby being burned when entering a pipe will cause the character to remain in pain indefinitely, but only in the European version.

Have I ever listened to Hey Jude by The Beatles? Absolutely not. It's addressed to Jude, not me. What about Annie's Song by John Denver? Nope. Not my song so none of my business. Everyone should treat the private communications of musicians with the same level of respect as I do.

There's a massive fence right across Australia called the dingo fence to keep the dingoes on one side of Australia and not the other. Did you guys know about this? Like hadrian's wall but for dingoes.

Apologies to my friends around the country but at this point I have lost track of who has a baby and who doesn't, as so many of you suddenly did it at once and (frankly) without my consent.

Now this is a social media manager DOING THEIR JOBBBBB
There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

Did you guys hear about the Georgia man who died in a scuba diving accident after which family looked in the backyard treehouse and found the skeletal remains of his missing adult son? It’s such a weird story and I need there to be any kind of resolution.

It's a real shame that no-one publishes a 3D map of our cities that shows the underground as well as the surface. Seeing the tunnels used by pedestrians, trains, roads, clean water, sewage, gas and electricity would be great. Hidden infrastructure that needs to be seen.
