we need a word for a type of person who spends all their time working to live in a city so they can be near cool things, but they don't actually like going out

Watching this again and I think it's better than Goodfellas which was my favourite movie of all time.

The Super Mario Bros live action movie with Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo should be ahead of citizen Kane in best movies all time lists and Dennis Hopper should've won a best actor Oscar as Koopa!

My brain is so cooked by the internet that when I saw the letters STD free I thought sexually transmitted disease free! Also, go Storm! #NRLGF

Every time I see a business closed I think, "Sex Cauldron? I thought they closed that place down!"

what's the stupidest/randomest Simpsons quote that lives in your head rent free? Mine is the urge to say "you said go to bread" every time I am about to head to bed.

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

sick of innovation now being confined to "app that breaks laws" or "software that clips tickets". we used to be a country that made things. i want to see real breakthroughs, like someone who invents pasta that cooks in 30 seconds

I know we were all haters but this shit is worse than you can imagine.

I guess that’s kind of the point. Manmade horrors beyond our comprehension. Except there isn’t even a train wreck attraction to any of this because none of it is real.

There are no stakes and no status to be gained.

Watching the AFL pre-show stuff with Snoop and Australia does cringe better than most. This is so excruciating to watch. I'm dying from secondhand embarrassment.

Japan has a wrestling camp for kids where at the end they have a show match in front of their parents to show off what they learned.

Thought you'd enjoy this.

No one is making you be a writer if you can’t do it and also don’t enjoy doing it. If you’re larping a job for clout I’d probably pick surgeon or Nobel prize winning diplomat, stealing valor for from isolated weirdos at their laptops is like shoplifting from the landfill.

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.
