It's working! They are pervert glasses! There is no other name for them.

I definitely want to hear more deep thoughts from the guy who claimed Elon Musk's purchase of twitter would "extend the light of consciousness"

I love watching people use LLMs in public. They’ll reply to a breaking news article and say “@grok is this true?” Babe where do you think it’s about to pull its answer from

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic

I think they're bad parents because doctors and nurses are telling them what they should do and instead they're listening to a 22 year old nick shirley fuck on tiktok or a man with literal brain worms.

Love that the Sensible consensus is that sinking an unarmed Iranian vessel is completely legitimate and good but Iran striking airbases used to stage attacks against them is unreasonable escalation.

A post on X from the betting platform Polymarket that says “BREAKING: Anthropic CEO says Claude may or may not have gained consciousness, as the model has begun showing symptoms of anxiety.”

Literally as I’m arguing with someone about whether AI companies are misleading people into believing their technology possesses God-like super-intelligence I see this monstrosity

Ear doctor: Don’t use Q-Tips
Me already imagining putting a screw driver I found in the driveway in my ear when I get home: I womt

Threads thread: thriller_instinct 3d Is it okay to bully 40 and 50 year olds who are on social media just for being on it, cuz like why are you here - 254 Q 3.1K G 28 746 corporateash 18h ••• My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you. 852 Q62 G6 72

“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit

this is what it feels like to post on bluesky

Jessie Buckley’s anti-cat stance exposes a weakness in Ireland’s military capabilities and that is music to Vladimir Putin’s ears | the Irish Times view on the upcoming Oscar Awards ceremony

Always fun to be in the period where Trump says "Kristi was great" and Noem says "Thank you Pres. Trump for great work together" when we all know in less than three days he'll be like "That horrible hag woman. I never even knew her. But I have approved drone strikes on her house. A stupid person."

You don't have to pay your credit card if you just flush it down the toilet

Optical illusion of a woman bent over some papers. Her sunglasses are pushed up and she is wearing a hair band so the top of her head looks exactly like a Muppet face

Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now

It was funny to see, I don't even remember which US newspaper it was anymore, but an obit of Ali Khamenei said something to the effect of "he lived a paranoid life in which he believed the US and Israel were out to kill him, which eventually happened"

Quick question does anyone know how to restore virtue to a decaying society

Every bsky staff member keeps talking about how the goal is Nice Social Media but then the second they're even remotely pushed back against for something shitty, and they immediately crash out for multiple days crying about their subhuman userbase.

It’s not disingenuous to point out that the NYT did not run a single front page story of the Minab bombing. You don’t dispute this claim because it’s true. And the story that you reference on your webpage does not attribute blame to US/Israel and frames it as an allegation by “Iranian state media”

It actually kicks ass how much the people who run this site hate the people who use it. Just constant seething meltdowns over having to put up with a bunch of artists, furries, and trans people instead of crypto-hustlers and AI guys making Linkedin-tier posts. I'm glad they're miserable, frankly

I have a recurring dream where I suddenly have to jump in water and swim with my clothes on, suddenly.

In those dreams, i always have a moment where I am like "Shit, my phone's in my pocket, it's probably going to be ruined" moment.

Even in a dream, I'm more aware than Bsky's programmers.

chalk up another failure for 'bomb them until they overthrow their own government for us' i'm sure it'll work one of these days

"BOTH parties are trash" malcontents stay vindicated for all time

health of a society is inversely proportional to how badly you need a dashcam in it

If you smell toast, you might be having a stroke... a stroke of luck that is. It’s toast time.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.
