Imagine being so far up your own [REDACTED] that you think you should be recognised and lauded as a 'Foremost Expert' because you forced an LLM into Word as a new product feature no one wanted and people actively dislike.

If you wanted to know how good episode three of Lanterns was, there's a thread on r/conservative complaining about how woke it is.

Don't have the energy to scream at the state of the world right now, so I've ordered in pizza.

I have coffee, I also have a migraine, I only want one of those.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I could monetise having a Microsoft Exec obsessed with trying to prove me wrong about LLMs on the internet?

We had a digital AI that could make decisions for executives in the 70s, and it only needed a nine volt battery! How's that for a ROI!

What is the correct ratio of serious to comedic Star Trek episodes? Media scientists are yet to discover the correct answer to this problem.

Pie n mash

Burnham is pulling money out of real science, and putting it into Fake AI. Why? Because it appears he's just a more charismatic version of Starmer.

Had a rough day of anxiety, but I managed to put up some shelves and reframe some pictures and memorabilia as displacement activity so it evened out sorta.

Oh no. I thought they closed the portal to the shrimp dimension that was extruding the endless shrimp.

Stopped watching a popular biking youtuber, because they decided they were going to use Claude to write motor control code for an e-bike. You shouldn't be encouraging use of Claude to code, but you really shouldn't be encouraging use of Claude to code where it can cause electrical fires.

Giving the lie to that old canard that "Speed Cameras are just about making money". Removing them instantly led to more people speeding.

I just had a marketable product idea. A Scream Bucket. It's a bucket lined with foam inside and a lid, and when you really need to you just scream into it, then put the lid on. Available in a rainbow of colours as well as traditional Void black.

Hello to the new followers who are expecting geopolitical insight.

I will be mostly posting photos of food, fandom drama and reskeets of furry art.

Not feeling as awful as yesterday. But still beset by evils. Stupid trees.

I would like to be able to sleep tonight. I did not sleep last night. Because I have hay fever bad enough to give me shakes. I have taken the good pain killers and they are only making me barely functional.

After a the surprise resignation of Secretary Phelan, this is the man now in charge of the US Navy. https://www.yahoo.com/news/gop-senate-candidate-hung-cao-164517337.html

Today I discovered that last week Kash Patel appears to have forgot his login password and got locked out of hit computer. Then he thought he'd been fired, and started panic phoning employees and people in congress saying he'd been fired. Until someone with IT checked in to reset his password.

I wonder what happens to empires when a large unrestful army kept on poor rations and harsh conditions returns home.

Decided to see if I could jail break a kindle, so I could use it for a live updated public transit information display. Guess which part was relatively trivial, and which part is mind numbingly complex.

"Don't talk to the press" is going around the fandom again. But that's not entirely the right way to handle things. *You*, as in the random person in the fandom, probably shouldn't talk to the press. But *You* the professional, competent and public relations trained should.

RE: @SecureOwl@infosec.exchange

PUPPY!!!

Radical idea: Make DC a state, but also add onto the proclamation of statehood the text that 'For purposes of constitutional representation, all US Citizens subject to the jurisdiction of the United States but otherwise unrepresented in congress, shall be considered residents of DC'.

This sure seems like normal behaviour from a normal administration on a normal site.

Which Video Game Franchise would you delete from existence so it never happened? And why is it FNAF?

Removal of #NASFIC from the WSFS Consitution doesn't mean there can't be any more of them, it just means it won't be used as an excuse to ensure that WSFS committees are always dominated by North American appointees. I am unsure if this means that the current NASFIC appointees remain in post.

Why hasn't @andyburnham.bsky.social condemned the violence against police officers and emergency responders by masked thugs in Dover? Why did the government initially say they were 'acceptable peaceful protest'? Why did he say it was a 'police operational matter'? Why is he avoiding responsibility?

Thought experiment: What would a @steamdeck.com for Corporate clients look like? The Steam-Machine without the 'gamer' hardware. A Linux kernel stripped down to the hardware on that machine, a keyboard and mouse. No other USB support other than accessibility devices.

We had to cancel the Kash Patel look alike contest because too many people were taking amphetamines and vodka chasers to get the stare right.

Blargh. Was going to make the trek into That London to see if powered excoskeleton would help with my walking, but alas I lack the walking energy to do that today.

They would have gotten away with it too, if not for those teens and their dog!

I have a feeling in my bones that GTA6 is going to be a financial flop, and might precipitate an AAA Gaming crash.

Pretty sure that Burnham has been asking ChatGPT for advice on how to answer questions just like Starmer was. My only hope is that he holds to his promise of proportional representation votes, so we can vote this government out without fear Reform would come into power. But I fear he'll ask ChatGPT.

Happy Birthday @projectionedge.bsky.social

Warning: I normally consider myself to be culturally and primarily an Irish national, but insult Manchester and I will go full Northerner on you.

That's a large and voluptuous chest!

*Adopts Herzog voice:* The journey of understanding starts this way. First you understand, Herzog speaks all these languages, except French. Then you understand, Herzog is telling a story that we want to believe. And finally you understand, none of us can know how many languages Werner Herzog speaks

Let me play devil's advocate. You should eat those french fries.
