calling Pornhub “the internet’s most reviled site” just tells me this newspaper is not a trustworthy source of information.

i laughed out loud at this "AI generated yearbook" then my next thought was that this is too funny and consistent to be actually AI generated. the names are all too phonetic and pronounceable. the faces are all the same too.

"this AI image is photoshopped" lol we're through the looking glass.

the nerds on Mastodon talk about this stuff a lot, but it's nice to see random normie tech YouTubers with millions of subscribers also getting in on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVYG1mu8Lg8

they should have listened to that guy in the focus group who specifically requested a gas pedal that doesn't fall apart when you're driving.

it turns out, Facebook was single-handedly propping up a vast ecosystem of right-wing online media.

now do YouTube.

leave it to the NYT to report this as if Trump still has an "edge." a ~1% lead is not a lead, it is WELL within the margin of error, especially given all the special elections over the last few years where Dems have outperformed.

the highlight is when the pin spends 13 seconds looking at the Brooklyn Bridge and then very confidently tells the guy it's the Triborough Bridge. i give this company ~6mo before it shuts down its servers and bricks every single one of these fucking things.

everything else aside, even if it worked perfectly, i cannot imagine wanting to interact with a device like this in public by talking to it. imo a huge reason for the popularity of screens in public is you can look down at them and instantly be in a kind of private space. why in the HELL would i want to speak e-mails aloud, into a public space??? that's psycho behavior.

i think the upper-middle-class NYT-reading FOMO crowd have tied themselves into knots over "screens" when the real issue isn't the actual, physical screen, it's that every single app company has turned the screen into a surveillance casino that gets you addicted to it and then spies on you.

i had seen the XKCD comic before, but this gets specific, and whoa. (pretty good piece of writing as well) https://lunduke.locals.com/post/5477752/if-this-one-guy-got-hit-by-a-bus-the-worlds-software-would-fall-apart

Anybody ever seen an orange like this?

Is Nature pranking me?

A shot of the orange more from the side, showing the bottom. You can see the slice shape from another angle.
Another shot of the orange from above. Still has the light colored slice shape on the skin.

@stevenray @samerfarha I could be wrong, but I’ve seen apples like this and it’s because it was in full sun except for a leaf that was covering part of it. or it could just be genetic weirdness.

some pretty solid trolling here. once everyone is NYPD, boom, no crime, because we just handle it all internally lmao https://www.reddit.com/r/TikTokCringe/comments/1bw3dzf/more_cops_less_crime/

it seems like some kind of blockage got knocked loose at the Washington Post and now it’s open season on the fascists in Israel.

again, the IDF just murdered seven employees of a beloved chef who feeds the professional class in Washington, DC. I wouldn’t be surprised if the WaPo editors know José Andrés personally. this was a very politically stupid move by those goons.
