Today I Will Look The Burrito Man In The Eye and other stories of manifesting success

More Firefly: naw, I'm good. Maybe ten years ago. But now it's in the past. I feel the same way about Scrubs, Malcolm in the Middle, Frasier.

That said...more stories in the SETTING of Firefly? New characters, dynamics, exploration? Maybe with some of the main crew showing up later? Possibly.

The only guy in the entire series ever to be outsmarted by Dewey Crowe

We messed up with the Windows 12 article. What we got wrong and how it happened We published a Windows 12 article that did not meet PCWorld's editorial standards. We're sorry. Here's how we'll get better.

We messed up. We're sorry. Here's how it happened, and how we'll be better going forward. I want to personally apologize for this and hope the transparency helps to rebuild your trust. www.pcworld.com/article/3079...

I see a lot of AI "artists" posting links to Patreon, like real artists.

Motherfucker, even if I wanted this, why would I pay you for it if the whole point is that anyone can generate it?

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

This made me really happy though.

Colluding with racists because you think trans people are expendable should cost you your job

I held on to a copy of Creative Suite 6, the last one before subscription only, for almost 15 years. Just getting it to run on new machines became an issue since it can't properly scale on high-res laptops.

I finally switched to Photopea, and I'm fine paying $5 a month to get rid of the ads.

I accidentally pressed the "show all my windows at once" button.

I have 28 windows active.

Not tabs. Windows.

I think I may have a problem.

"Woah."

Bastion from Overwatch with the Overgrown skin, holding a yellow bird.

I've seen someone so used to filters on themselves, presumably including live video filters, that they had a physical revulsion response when I sent them an unfiltered photo I took of them.

I think about it a lot.

this is the only thing I will accept for the pombon evolutions

Lenovo's new folding handheld gaming tablet thing is ridiculous Lenovo's Legion Go Fold Concept will apparently debut next week, according to a report. It's a fantastically weird folding gaming tablet, sandwiched between two controllers.

Lenovo has another weird one. And by this, I mean truly weird.

I don't like this Smiling Friends, it just doesn't appeal to me. But I can respect the hell out of creators bringing something to a natural conclusion.

They're leaving SO much money on the table, money no one could blame them for taking. It is genuinely impressive to end it after three seasons.

If wishes were horses.

Prediction markets making a stink about insider trading at the same time that they tout their markets as authoritative information simply boggles my mind

Why are half of the Audible daily deals self-help junk?

I'm looking for sci-fi and fantasy junk, dammit, with occasional bouts of extreme horniness.

And don't tell me you don't have it, it's all over the regular sales.

Companies aren't people, you can bully them.

And you should. It works.

There's an old Christian axiom that imperfect people can't create a perfect system. And as flawed as the dogma is, I think there's something to that.

We've tried thousands of different times in almost every imaginable way. Eventually it falls apart or gets corrupted by power and greed.

Remember when Musk said he was going to get rid of the bots? I guess they just weren't the right kind of bots.

Not enough AI-generated sexual assault, for one.

Toronto harold satire site headline: "Canadian Olympic hockey teams to bring back silver medals to home country that has healthcare and stable democracy"

okay, this is funny, though

Given its medical policies, anything floating in from the Trump regime is more likely to be a plague ship.

washington post headline saying "the power of AI transfixed wall st and washington. recent research suggests it may be a mirage" as if these idiots just crawled out of a cave

oh word???? no shit????? for real????????

I dare someone to air a daily Pledge of Allegiance in Spanish.
