Whoever came up with the idea that "2026 is the Great Meme Reset and you won't be allowed to use any of the old memes anymore", take a bow, my 9yo is completely convinced and has earnestly made his peace with the end of 6-7

I think the idea that anyone who spends time on this site, myself included, has the faintest concept of what "normies" are like is both charming and hilarious
I think a key turning point is going to be when a plurality of normies realize that “chatbot that gives you the wrong answer 10% of the time and will take another ten years to get to 8%” isn’t remotely worth trusting or offloading large amounts of our productive work to
I dunno. I hope but "everyone hates this shit" is probably the most actual bsky echo chamber belief on here. Normies LOVE AI
Maybe what they love is that it let's them "create" and it's just a fun toy, but folks definitely don't seem turned off by it to the degree we all (mostly) seem to be

If Frankie Boyle isn't currently writing a book about US politics with a title exactly one letter different from Nuzzi's, I will be very disappointed

"And we'll know if you're lying because we'll check with the Chief Constable"
Ooooh, this is an interesting bit of breaking London news! The Met police, as of today, will require all officers to declare if they're a member of the freemasons.

Watching a TNG where Worf gets paralysed in an industrial accident and badgers Riker to ritually kill him. Lovely bit of light escapism

Found this festive Bluey ornament in the clearance section at Tesco. Snuck it onto a branch at the back of our very busy tree, now to see how long it takes for anyone else in the family to spot her

Jimmy Fallon: "And do you use ChatGPT when raising your baby?"
