@sporadica Arcus clouds prolly scared the hell out of prehistoric man

every other day on this app i see weather phenomena that would have had a 12th century peasant believing God was sending them a sign to revolt against the king, and yet all i do is like it and keep doomscrolling from my bed. sigh.

@Lil_Tee18 Thank you! It's kind of addicting. Keep pulling the lever and see what random excerpts pop out.

@protomemetic Nicee workk

I built a "printed excerpt" generator for a weekend experiment. GPT Image 2's text fidelity is so good it can make linotype printed pages on textured paper. A mixer algo selects an author from a list of 500 and 2 topics from a list of 5000, then generates a short excerpt from a larger story. I use Opus 4.7 for this part (Sorry GPT, Opus is still the best creative writer). The excerpt is then fed to GPT Image 2 to generate the printed page. The end result is a printed excerpt from a book that never existed.

@yacineMTB I think the buttery smooth transition between desktops using the trackpad is 95% of the reason I stick with OSX.

I am so happy with this laptop (simply because i do not have to use macos, which feels a lot like dragging my gonads across a mile of broken glass)

You people know me, you understand me, you get my obsessions and you feed me content and I love you for it

To be allowed to post on Reddit, you must preface every comment with "I mean," to convey that you're about to relay a frank observation that cuts through formalities and suspicious pieties.

You can say that but it’s not gonna stop the congressional subpoenas sweetheart

@EYakoby poor thing

We’ve reached day four of this generational crash out. Incredible stuff is happening on X.

Yearning for the past is more socially acceptable than yearning to be young, dumb and 20 years old again.

@krus_chiki paintballs filled with whatever they use to put stickers on books that shit would foul a tank track given the chance

YC is asking for the start up equivalent of “fire paintballs at russian tanks to disable them”

something about that original image just cried for a wes anderson treatment

@netcapgirl Does everyone in prison have a twitter now?

he’s not gonna pardon you bro

@mtracey Last week someone left their pitbull in their car with the window too far down. Cramped parking lot. It bites an old woman squeezing between the cars who then falls and breaks her hip.

This dog is barking at me

@JTAlexander The sole purpose of prediction markets is to surface insider signals. All I see is the market being used as designed.

It’s kinda insane that “betting on yourself” is simultaneously a thing our culture strongly encourages people to do, but is also an actually illegal act.

@damintoell The important thing is that a community note got added about 4 days later once we had all moved on.

One of the primary people to kick off conspiracy theories that Butler was staged was Mike Lee when he posted this video of Trump that he claimed was the day after.

@Y_SWargo you'd think something would have rubbed off after 10 years

@protomemetic Is this True?

This is a real person with their real face hoping for an assassination, cheering it on, and then calling it a false flag in the span of a less than a dozen hours.
