As someone who used to work with kids a lot, every last one of them look like a little shit who is about to make my day at work measurably worse.

I saw her solo Hamlet in New York and loved it so much. As a longtime fan of the play as well as the performer, it was a great evening on both counts.

If you don't like Internet comics, you don't have to be a reader of the Internet comics community on here.

I once had friends who worked at a bookstore where they pronounced it "is bin," but I suspect this gag might work with either pronunciation.

 

Me to a bookstore clerk: There's this book I'm looking for about "Star Trek: Enterprise."

Clerk: ISBN?

Me: A LONG ROOOAD getting from there to here...

Oh yeah, that's that guy's thing. Nobody will ever know that he's Jordan Q. Harbelstein who lives at 601 12th St in Roy, New Mexico.

TFW someone posts "don't be evil" on a thing with the author credit scribbled out.

Screenshot of Twitter. Tweet by @GooglePlay made on March 13th, 2024 reads "Gaming really changes your life lol anyone else out here yelling +10 HEALTH when they finish dinner?" A reply tweet by user @RickAstleyGamin (which was scribbled out in the screenshot OP posted) simply reads "no".

I usually refer to a chicken omelette as a Family Reunion.

When you eat a boiled egg you're still mixing the white and yellow parts inside your mouth.

Illusionist Criss Angel, dressed in his best early-2000s over-the-top emo clothes and jewelry, stares and points dramatically at the viewer while curled up in a particularly gothy pose as if to say "Mind freak!"

Maybe it's also like brushing their teeth?

I wouldn't assume he even knows "shall."

 

Excerpt:

I hate all of this in almost every way a thing can be hated. I hate the factless waffle that surrounds Big AI’s every improbable goal. I hate how insipidly stupid, or just plain evil, those goals so often are, and the yawning chasm between them and any form of achievable reality. I hate that Big AI’s successes are inflated and its failures ignored — or are even categorised as hilarious mis-steps, like when AI chatbots tell people to eat poisonous mushrooms, put glue on pizza, or make air diffusers from chlorine gas.

I hate that Big AI consumes so much energy that every time you generate a six-fingered portrait of Anne Frank or a scene from the Vietnam war in the style of Studio Ghibli, you might as well just kill a polar bear with a crossbow. I hate that it can run roughshod over every copyright law and environmental protection on the planet in pursuit of the data it needs to continue failing, with no consequences save for the enrichment of the worst people on Earth, who have managed to make all of this magical bullshit seem sensible to an intellectual class comprised of people I wouldn’t trust to print an email.
