This is about deranged takes, not the majority of actual voters who happen to reside on Bluesky

To Bluesky, Talarico is somehow a bad candidate because he's Christian but establishment dem Newsom types are good candidates, presumably because they say mean things on the Internet and call their opponents names.

Bought an electric toothbrush that wasn't working properly and my support email went to an AI agent. Multiple rounds of emails over several days where it talked in circles and gave me useless advice I could have read on a FAQ. Human finally intervened and helped me solve the problem in one sentence.

Product photo of a bird carrier bag. Inside the carrier on a perch is a sun conure, probably sized about right. On top of the carrier a blue and gold macaw is pictured, but it is incredibly small. Much smaller than the sun conure, maybe about budgie sized at most.

And I feel like so many people are familiar with them now too! It's so clearly wrong!

My favorite bad photoshops are Amazon listings for bird products when they clearly don't know how big birds are.

Really disappointing that Imogen Heap's technology ventures eventually just morphed into NFT grifting and "AI music is good actually" instead of inventing cool stuff

Ah yes the HBO series makes sense for breaking the top 10 again. I know folks are always playing it but figured there had to be a reason for a swell

Many of the Christians I know are recognizing the type of faith they practice in Talarico, and it's turning him into a candidate that will flip countless votes this year. The fact that this interview focuses so heavily on Christianity is exactly why republicans are scared.

Trump's FCC thinks you shouldn't watch this, which is a great sign that you should probably watch it.

All Blights | Blight Club: Unauthorized The definitive guide to Blight Club facts and figures.

Check out all the stats and available filters at www.blightclub.games/stats/search

PlayStation is dominating on the Platform chart as the source of most Blights. Cumulative chart shows how wide @grubb.wtf had the lead until @tolkoto.com got stuck with both Leisure Suit Larry and Virtuoso.

This is what I'm calling 1.0 for Blight Club: Unauthorized. Main stats are now complete! ๐ŸŽ‰

Player distribution: how much each player has suffered based on total length and episode count

Platform distribution: breakdown of Blights per console

Cumulative blight time: change in Blights over time

We are Out of Office tomorrow for the holiday - no streams. In the meantime, 1 like = 1 minute of extra blight Dan must endure.

If you've watched all of Blight Club, you've seen more than 245 hours of bad games.

Small improvements since launch!

We've got more sorting options on the Blights list and you can change the sort direction.

Global stats to see total episode count and runtime depending on selected filters.

Fully customizable runtime chart so you can see specific combinations.

Oh my God it's the same shit they're trying to say about the environmental impact. "We know building this tool is destroying the planet but once we build AGI we'll ask it how to fix everything".

Used to follow an influencer who did pretty good vegan recipes, and they suddenly started posting almost entirely about their trips to Google to see some AI popup or using AI to generate recipes for them. I knew the deals had to be big but not this big.
