Bearded Dalek

The only X I have is... Yes, humans, I am making that joke again. EXTERMINATE!

I may finally be quitting @X soon. Having videos start playing whenever the app opens is ABSOLUTELY not acceptable. I have the settings on here to not load images or videos, but now they've decided ads can do it. This is a last straw for me using the app for certain.

@answerswithjoe This is a good visual explanation of the phenomenon you asked your audience to explain in the Nebula Extra Facts in your latest video about the "Triscuit universe": explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php…

Surprising no sapient species, callously burning through the resources of others to make your own profit only works if you have more firepower. Corporations pursuing AI should have invested in neutronic energy weapons before tipping their plungers. nytimes.com/2024/07/19/tec…

@shiftposting @summoningsalt Far more of us watching speedrunning in any form came to it from outside media bringing temporary attention. The grind is only interesting to a specific niche. But the story brings temporary attention from a far wider audience, some of whom will adapt to the niche with exposure.

@shiftposting @summoningsalt For your claim to be meaningful, though, you would need to show that general viewership had deviated from the trend in a way that did not imply the altered viewership merely benefited you temporarily. Which seems far more likely.

Y'all aren't ready for the conversation about World Record History culture and how it's made the hobby feel less accessible + condition viewers' attention spans to reject the grind and wait for the recap with cute music and anime plots.

A rather succinct demonstration of why @GoogleAI needs to shut down until it has done proper offline testing. This is easy to see how horribly wrong the result is, but for most searches it just generates unrecognized disinformation to be spread.

@BozhaKorova @SocDoneLeft @NoahShachtman Because it was the 1964 election and these kinds of election maps began in 1976 with the party-assigned colors standardizing in 2000. The only ones to see this map are the few who looked at the 2016 NYT article it is from or the 2008 Wikipedia project to generate historical maps.

@SocDoneLeft @NoahShachtman Dear god how does nobody in the replies know this is the 1964 presidential election.

@Crunchyroll Tell your coding team to stop using API calls without identity tokens for their automated "report" button processing. By using unverified API calls, they allowed the comments section to turn into this:

"Muted words" feature of Twitter/X apparently no longer works if the word is plural.

@WoolverSong The Doc-tor has fans? This is horrifying. We must exterminate them all!

@BeardedDalek He has a fan club. Many of them dress like him and go to meet ups and pretend. It’s all in good fun

@TARDISisHome Doctor? Um.. I appear to be all alone now. Could I possibly stay with you for a while?

@WoolverSong It is very strange how so many of your friends purport to be him and yet you insist they are not.

@BeardedDalek That’s not the Doctor, silly old daddy. Does he even look like him? Nooooooo, that’s my new friend

@dantheshive Given the inspiration for this, you may wish to consider "Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost". It is about a human who is prevented from that fate by what I am told your species calls "adorable". It also has a sense of humor which Dalek analysis finds comparable to yours.

Kevin Stops Being Polite And Starts Getting REAL - egscomics.com/comic/layers-0… For real this time, sorry about earlier, completely missed that it tweeted

@WoolverSong Superior work lulling the Doc-tor into a false sense of security. I look forward to hearing reports of his extermination. o)>

@TARDISisHome It doesn’t have any weapons, it’s my training casing. It’s got pedals inside and games and… well… have you ever met a Dalek called @BeardedDalek? He sort of looked after me for a while and he gave it to me

@arstechnica @benjedwards I cannot tell if the casual citation of @yugiohtas as "Twitter user" was "tongue-in-cheek" or if this phrasing means that the reporter is an AI with machine learning.

The section of its business that @Google should have gotten rid of was search. Even Cybermen could do better.

@xkcd All he sent Skaro was a gif of an escalator. It would take 480 million years to arrive, but we already sent the invasion fleet a long time ago.

@FightingForDem7 @boreskes @SenFeinstein What the GOP blocked was a temporary committee appointment. If she resigns, she take it out of their control. Her committee appointments get to be reassigned by her own party and her seat statutorily falls to the governor of California to appoint a replacement.

@boreskes @SenFeinstein This is so sad. In the name of DECENCY Senate GOP should allow her seat to be filled as has been the practice for over 200 years.

Spoke to @SenFeinstein today for a brief minute. I asked her how she was feeling and also about the well-wishes she's heard from colleagues. This is how she responded. latimes.com/california/sto…
