What I hate most about gen Ai is how it takes away the effort. When I saw art before, I knew that even if it shitty and bad, i could tell that there was someone who worked hard to make it happen. It’s why shit like The Room got popular, because you could see the earnest effort on display.

Whence my favourite retronym: acoustic bicycle.
Acoustic guitars used to just be called ‘guitars.’
Then, we invented electric guitars. Oh no.
Which meant saying ‘guitar’ wasn’t clear enough.
So 'guitars' became 'acoustic guitars.'
‘Acoustic guitar’ is an example of a ‘retronym.’

This is Aki. He just realized how to unify Einstein's general relativity theory with quantum mechanics to solve the black hole information paradox, but then remembered he's supposed to be a dog. 13/10 (TT: katelyvxxn)

Just saw the trailer for Death of Robin Hood. Has there ever been a Robin Hood movie with someone from Nottinghamshire or Yorkshire?
It would be a nice change.
Can we get some folks from the midlands/north (because both areas have justifiable claim to the story) to make one properly please!

This is Peanut. His name isn't Peanut because he's small. It's because he is a lethal threat to a significant portion of the population. Still 13/10 (IG: peanut_tacoterrier)

Very interesting new RobWords video from @robwords.bsky.social
Especially loved the bit about giraffes, one of my favourite critters.
