This is Willi and Rigatoni. They were saying not-so-nice things behind your back, but then you turned around. Super awkward. 13/10 for both (IG: wildwildwilli)

do you remember 13 years ago today? remember thinking surely this would be the last straw, that something would change? i remember weeping at my desk thinking about the wrapped presents waiting under so many christmas trees for six year olds who would never come home.

you must not, in every case at least, take the higgledy-piggledy whale statements, however authentic, in these extracts, for veritable gospel cetology.

Animals with misleading names. I'm seeing this go around as part of a viral tumblr thread so I thought I'd reshare it.

I just think farming social media engagement by pumping out videos of animals, who broadly are harmed by the environmental impact of AI, absolutely sucks ass, and is a stain on the soul. Literally sit around in a park for an hour, you'll see an animal doing something cute.

We shouldn’t have to live like this. I’m not THAT old, and I remember we *didn’t* live like this. Powerful segments of society have made a choice that the regular scene of dead bodies in classrooms is an acceptable cost of doing business, and we shouldn’t have to accept that. I’m sad and I’m angry.

Happy birthday to Dick Van Dyke!
I babysat for this family who had some Anti-Swearing program on their TV, and when the Mary Poppins special features came on it introduced “One of the stars, Jerk Van Gay“

I don't want to be a "I'm not surprised" guy but covid made it clear that a substantial part of the population wants the freedom to do whatever they want even if it kills them and/or others
strangers are fighting to the death in my menchies over this pretty innocuous take and slinging devastating counterarguments like “what if I had to run away from a murderer” and “I like speeding”
one of my longstanding takes is that car manufacturers should be forced to install mandatory speed limiters in every new vehicle and people react to that like I'm advocating to strip them of their right to free speech

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves
Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars
Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

FINALLY GOT IT!
I've taken well over 100,000 pelican pictures, maybe 200,000.
Over 20,000 the past month alone.
Today, I snagged "The One That Got Away"
In my infinite optimism, I give you, a very rare:
Fish success story.
