Sticking with the one from previous places for consistency while I work stuff out:
I do IT stuff (mostly combatively).
Have also made comics, refereed Roller Derby, played Ice Hockey and generally been kinda obnoxious in many places.

After 11 years of renting I was given 30 days to vacate. Yesterday I was notified that the new owners would like to (presumably unrelatedly) "inspect the property" on day 28...
...This is extremely sus, right?

Back when Aotearoa New Zealand was voting via referendum on whether or not to ditch First Past the Post for Mixed Member Proportional for our voting system, the cartoonist Murray Ball put out the below comic.
I see those telling New Yorkers not to vote for Zohran Mamdani and think on this comic.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

WTAF are the knights doing with the #nrlw team??
How does the club that committed SO HARD to winning in 2022 fail this badly at key player retention so quickly?

When you save a document to the cloud, it's actually looked after by a Samoyed.
The time it takes to download is really for figuring out which Samoyed has your file.

Discworld QOTD, from Night Watch
“Once you get troops on the streets, it’s only a matter of time before it goes bad. Some kid throws a stone, next minute there’s houses on fire and people getting killed.”

“The captain glared at him. The sergeant put on the poker face that has been handed down from NCO to NCO ever since one protoamphibian told another, lower-ranking protoamphibian to muster a squad of newts and Take That Beach.”

I realise I'm an old person, and also wasn't paying attention, but looking at the list now I need to ask:
Have/did The Veronicas become some sort of retro-tiktok famous?
I clearly missed something on that one.

Insight into the oblivious way my mind works:
"Wow. One of my neighbours is apparently a HUGE INXS fan. Weird to be playing loudly at this specific time of night. It IS a pretty popular song on chart lists.. I think there's a triple J voting thing going on.. I wonder when that.....oh."

Stories of AI DOOM are, one and all, fake
They are nothing silly attempts to hype the technology and, more importantly, the AI investment bubble
The latest example is, yet again, the result of the "researchers" explicitly prompting the LLM to produce the "scary" output
