I know the polite term for bathroom is powder room, but whenever I need to go to the restroom, I say I need to go to the panic room because that's what I do in there and pretty much everywhere else.

I know that Stephen Miller gets a lot of hate on here, but hear me out.

I think we could hate him more. We have the capacity, we all just need to put in a little more effort.

When you're watching a video on making dumplings but you've also been on the Internet for three decades

Someone making dumpling wrapper dough. They just made a hole in a ball of dough and are making the hole bigger using both of their hands.

@dokas @stroughtonsmith One of my favorite MacOS 8 easter eggs is how if you set your Macs date to something inplausibly far in the future (like “2025”), the crayons would be worn down as if they had been used

Two screenshots of the MacOS 8 crayon color picker, one in 2025 and one in 1999. Some of the crayons in 2025 are noticeably worn down

@adam That's the beauty of generalized anxiety disorder. Logic and common sense don't matter... My brain is just shouting that there is very real danger and my endocrine system responds in kind

I have to do lots of meditation and breathing exercises to shut the lying asshole up so I can function and interface with what's most likely going to happen, and not the off the wall way my brain has invented to hurt my feelings

I do appreciate the reassurance though. 😀

There is a type of political analysis and reporting that identifies hypocrisy from the right as if that’s a killer blow. This is like pointing out that a Challenger tank is a slightly unfashionable shade of green.

It doesn’t matter to them, they don’t care. Why would a logical inconsistency matter? It’s just about power.

I've been talking to GitHub and giving them feedback on their "create issues with Copilot" thing they have in the works.

Today I tested a version for them and using it I asked copilot to find and report a security problem in curl and make it sound terrifying.

In about ten seconds it had a 100-line description of a "catastrophic vulnerability" it was happy to create an issue for. Entirely made up of course, but sounded plausible.

Proved my point excellently.

the fact that the Internet Archive got into bigger trouble for lending books they paid for than Facebook did for reproducing books they pirated tells you everything you need to know about copyright.

I'm not a big fan of the Naked Gun franchise. I don't dislike it

Same with

But I'm now a huge fan of their campaign (this just came out yesterday)

"No AI was used in the making of this poster" on a movie poster. Also "Liam Neeson, The Naked Gun, Only in Theatres August 1"

Poster is Liam with a severe expression holding a gun...
