The zeitgeist says AI, I say people just don’t give a shit any more

@reckless.bsky.social best moment of the GM Decoder episode:
Mary Barra [downplaying the current moment of political chaos]: “Has a lot happened this year? Absolutely”
Nilay: [Involuntary restrained grunt]

God Answers Prayer of Paralyzed Little Boy: “No”, says God.

Ooh, or it’s one of those things you use to fix divots on a putting green. That fits with the ethos

What are the two fang-like protuberances that aren’t gun barrels? Are there more hidden guns, or does the skeleton have crazy rabbit teeth?

And readers of the phones website appreciate it! Though it’s more like the Party Speakers and Brendan Carr website now

That’s why campaign finance reform is so important.

I just broke a random secret wall in a random area and found a new awesome tool. Silksong and Elden Ring are the best recent games at minor finds turning into major (but still optional) game changers

So, anyways: pissed myself

I saw Drinking out of Cups for the first time at 26, so… 26

Started reading old Far Side compilations with my 9 yo. He doesn’t get all of them, especially the outdated cultural references, but when we both get the same joke at the same time it’s the best

I love that Bluesky is still so weird that when I try to search for conversations on The Bear (chef show on FX) I have to wade through mountains of wonderfully depraved content to find out that it’s not really on here.

@reckless.bsky.social finally caught up with the SharkNinja Decoder episode. It was a masterclass in interviewing in a way I can’t fully explain. Its subtitle should be “I’ve got a great example for you”
