Warbling

This is the cultural commentary of our time

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Oil tankers on fire in the Strait of Hormuz. I've watched morons and sociopaths plunge the world into senseless wars. All those moments will be lost in time, like Donald Trump's few remaining brain cells shutting down. Fuck these idiots. Time to live.

americans would be terrified if we knew what a "litre" was

we remain firmly on track for 'republican president leaves the country an omnishambles, next democratic president is punished for not cleaning it up fast enough'

I just want to say that when we covered HOPPERS (about cooperating beavers) (leave it), I did propose a headline with the phrase "it takes a village of the dammed," and although it did not make it, I will always know I was that person.

Does anyone have any confirmation that the area/building used to be part of the old military base? I saw it once and haven't been able to verify it.

Because AI is rubbish at old docs and dates so you have to be careful at feeding in historic data. Plus, you know, maybe checking the targets on a live feed before hitting the go button.

Someone mentioned when it happened that the school building had originally been part of the military base 10 years previously (as had several other nearby bits) but then decoupled and very obviously turned into a school (sports fields, etc). Old satellite photos fed into AI?

me and the other scheming viziers are wearing shoes gifted to us by the king that are way too big. we look ridiculous. the whole court is laughing at us behind our backs. honestly this is a pretty low point for us, the scheming viziers

insane clown shoe posse

This cannot be real.

Could be worse. In order to avoid controversy, all Euro notes feature bridges. In order further to avoid controversy, they're all fictional. Or they were until the folk of the Dutch town of Spijkenisse took it upon themselves to build them. Now all Euro notes feature bridges from just one Dutch town

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

they thought Venezuela meant they were invincible and could do whatever they wanted and don’t understand that different countries are different and have agency and might not go along with your plans

This is dope

Happy Mario day!

That Dem consultants told Gov. Walz to stop calling them “weird” still has me miffed.

NO WHY THE FUCK ARE BLUESKY IMAGES WEBP FILES NOW

"WebP compresses better, don't you want the internet to be fast!?" yeah i do maybe we could work on not embedding twenty megabytes of trackers and other bullshit JavaScript so your page runs without adblocking most of it first. no? then fuck webp. that's my opinion

Why the hell has this website suddenly started showing all it's images as webp - the worst image format that only web browsers support and nothing else does? Dammit.

Once worked with a guy who said he never read books, only magazines. He meant men's mags too (Loaded, GQ, Zoo, etc) and this was during the 90s where I tried a few but couldn't read them on the tube without getting embarrassed by the semi-nude pictorials and what everyone would think of me.

Yes, it's been their lifelong ambition to die horribly, bobbing in the sea surrounded by burning oil.

Perhaps we should finally open up that route through the hollow earth? Plus you get to see dinosaurs in there if these educational films are to be believed.

It's amazing to me that the media still report on what Trump says and does as though he were a rational human

Things look grim in the markets right now, but at least the U.S. economy wasn’t already being propped up by a massive speculative AI bubble that is highly sensitive to rising energy costs.
