The people were astonished at his doctrine. They hated him because he told the truth.
A discord conversation between me and my friend Theo. Theo: "Bravely Default isn't a dragon quest though. There are some unapologetically tropey Final Fantasy games, see 5." Me: "Final Fantasy 5 is a Dragon Quest." Theo: "No"

Been seeing a number of feed recommendations that read like the description was written with an LLM. They don’t seem especially popular (probably because they read like slop) but still alarming to get recommended
A Bluesky feed called “Ppop music OPM” set up by @youronly.one. The description reads: “Filipinos live & breathe music. From captivating vocals to rhythmic dances, P-pop unites all things Pinoy music. Whether it’s OPM, R&B, rock, hip-hop, jazz, ska, or music from Filipinos abroad, this feed offers a glimpse into a rich & vibrant musical tapestry.” Only 16 users have Liked the feed. Its profile image is a generically styled boombox with the words “BOOM DECK” written on it and an unrealistic handle.

I miss Tenna
Yoneharu Enda, also known as “Andes Komeji”, from AI: The Somnium Files: Nirvana Initiative. A squat man with short brown hair, a salmon-pink dress suit, a comically large blue bow tie, and a cube-shaped head. He smiles at the viewer as he fiddles with the tie, though the smile is clearly forced.

OK but have you seen the other, even dumber graph from the Dallas Fed
A chart from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas titled "Estimates of AI adoption vary widely". Triangles (representing an undefined "AI use") and circles (representing use of generative AI specifically) of various colors are laid out on a graph, with the Y axis showing the percentage of survey respondents who said they used AI in their work and the X axis showing dates to indicate when the surveys were conducted. X axis dates are inconsistently more than a year apart each (from May 2016 to September 2017 to February 2019, and so on) despite equal space between them on the graph, with data points floating in between them with little indication of actual survey timing. Additionally, while each data point is colored to indicate the survey source, no legend is provided to explain what color correlates to which of the sources cited in the text wall below.

An excerpt from Tim Rogers's video essay "Action Button reviews Cyberpunk 2077", which reads: "Every single super-superficial reflection of modern life in Cyberpunk 2077 just depresses me. Do I really need to see a big-haired, Hunger Games aristocrat-lookin’, late-night television talk-show-host paper-thindividual vapidly reacting to a guest’s explanation of a brain-uploading technology that can make the user effectively immortal… when we’ve already got public trashbag number one—Jimmy “Coffinfood” Fallon—histrionically nervous-giggling in an attempt to stop relative saint John Oliver from asking Alexa about warehouse unionization efforts during a segment obviously paid for by Amazon?"

Two tumblr posts concerning the assassination of Charlie Kirk, respectively from Cryptotheism and Brett "A Flower out of Stone" Heinz. CT says: "I am nervous as to how the administration will respond to Kirk's death. They've been looking for a Reichstag fire for a while." Brett says, "If you can't see why this is a bad thing, then you are too stupid to be involved in any political cause."

An excerpt from a Polygon article by Matt Patches concerning the announcement of release timing for the Bluey movie, specifically the following paragraph: "But even Bluey buffs need to brace themselves for what's to come because there’s a bit of a twist: In Disney’s announcement, the company confirmed that the film will be CG-animated, with Australian animation studio Cosmic Dino in charge of the heavy-lifting. Bluey, the TV series, has traditionally been animated in 2D by Ludo Studio. The movie version overseen by Cosmic Dino is expected to align with the output of studios like Pixar and Walt Disney Animation proper. Hmm." Below the text is a frame from the Bluey episode "Dad Baby", showing the character Bandit Heeler—a scruffy-looking blue heeler dog—lying in a backyard kiddie pool pretending to give birth to his daughter Bingo. Bandit's neighbor Pat—a Labrador retriever—steadies him effortfully as he winces with exertion, and his other daughter Bluey watches the whole scene with warm interest.

Drippy from Ni no Kuni: a blobbishly-shaped creature with stubby legs, small arms, and a long nose from which hangs a lantern. He has a cheery expression.

Noelle puts a box with a robotic-looking face painted on it on her head to hide her face from Queen in Cyber City. This is a subtle reference to the Queen's threats to roboticize Noelle's face.

The movie poster for Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights, depicting a cartoon Sandler throwing a snowball at the viewer. The poster has been digitally edited, with the title being changed to "Eight Normal Nights", and Sandler's face turned white and having red smile marks painted on the sides of his mouth so he resembles The Joker.

The "Latest News" feed of Nintendo Life, with the titles cropped out. The top articles for Sunday, the 13th of July 2024, are two pictures of the gorilla character Donkey Kong. One is a detailed CG render of Donkey Kong from The Super Mario Bros. Movie, pulling a cocked-eyebrow grin at the viewer like any given main character on a Dreamworks movie poster. The other depicts Donkey Kong screaming as he plummets into a whirling red vortex.
