You think this person in the waiting room would be annoyed if I also watched tv on my phone with no headphones? Might put on Terrifier 2 since we’re all just doing whatever.

Watching Decline of Western Civ 1 as a kid: OMG this is so wild and scary and scandalous

Watching Decline of Western Civ 1 at 42: Aww, look at the babies. Wait, was John Doe HOT?

I started reading Matheson’s Hell House yesterday. I didn’t know it was THAT kind of book. 👀
Anyway, it’s sick and I love it so far.

If you see this, post a robot
A still from the film Chopping Mall that shows a single robot. The robot is a squat rolling machine with a bulky torso and an oblong head that has a red laser strip across the middle that’s intended to represent eyes I guess.

Thinking about how much good media I’ve missed out on because I thought to be a serious person I had to only like stories about bad people doing bad things or good people having bad things done to them.
I mean, that shit still rocks, but I’m sliding into this romance thing with glee.

Unlike you, I get my news from a reliable source.
A still from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia where Mac is wearing a brown blazer and leaning over holding a microphone to an elderly woman’s face. The woman is seated on a grey couch and looked slightly startled by the situation.

Hello BlueSky,

You’ve cultivated a nice vibe on this site. Here’s another nice vibe from my neighborhood a couple of weeks ago.

Post-Twitter communities need less tech bro libertarianism and more of the “this is our community and we’ll ban any motherfucker we don’t like” energy of the old forum days. “If RaCiSm iSn’T aLlOwEd wHy iS hE aLlOwEd To CaLl mE ‘cRaCkEr’” oh good question let me see OOPS hit the banhammer bye chud

With Musk's experiment to give the racist whiners everything they wanted firmly in the toilet, there's no justification left for humoring the bad-faith fReE sPeEcH concerns of anyone in that crowd. You can just say "[X] isn't allowed on our site bc we fuckin said so that's why." You really can.

Daily mammal fact: 🧪

The world's largest bat is the giant golden crowned flying fox. Weighing 1.4kg with a >5ft wingspan they are big bois.

The smallest bat is Kittis hog nosed bat. At 1.2 inches long and <2g they are one of the smallest mammals in the world 🥺❤️

📷David Heucherlin, Yushi Osawa
Golden crowned flying fox. Gingery in colour with a shocked expression. Its wings are wrapped around its body and it is scratching its own nose. The bat is hanging upside down in a tree and, as per its name, the top of its head is a golden blonde. Tink bat clinging to a gloved hand. You can really tell how small it is from the size of the feet - they look to be about 1mm across. The wings are slightly outstretched but only reach from the the first to 2nd knuckle. The bat is hanging upside down in the classic bat pose and has little pointy east and no nose leaf. The watermark reads bat conservation international, kittis hog nosed bat, Craeseonycteris thonglongyai, Yushi Osawa.

black & white webcomic by smee_bucket (@smee_bucket on ig) panel 1: lion king satire. mufasa, the powerful reigning lion ruler of the pride lands, hangs off a cliff, his foreclaws digging into the ledge. “scar help me I’m slipping,” he says panel 2: scar, his lithe, villainous (and gay-coded) brother, leers at mufasa and says “self care is cutting toxic people out of your life” 3: mufasa’s eyes bulge in shock and anger. “WHAT” 4: exterior shot of cliff as scar pushes mufasa off the cliff. “YOU ARE SO VALID,” scar assures mufasa. “what the heck”, a falling mufasa mutters 5: cut to bottom of the canyon. mufasa lies dead on the ground. his cub son simba is at this side, tears streaming down his little face. scar stands over them and gloats. “good vibes only,” he pronounces. 6: scar, having usurped his brother’s throne, now surveys his holdings atop pride rock. his hyena minions look up at him adoringly. “this sparks joy,” he purrs.

Best description I've seen of this app so far and I'm one of the ones who came over for the cheap drinks.

bluesky’s a great example of when a local bar because the gay bar because all the queers find out it has cheap drinks and then force their friends to pack it every night

Authors file a lawsuit against OpenAI for unlawfully ‘ingesting’ their books. Mona Awad and Paul Tremblay allege that their books, which are copyrighted, were ‘used to train’ ChatGPT because the chatbot generated ‘very accurate summaries’ of the works
