Yep. I'm just going to dump things here.

I hate that when you’re stressed enough your body just starts falling apart. I think it should realize you’re already stressed and don’t need that and start functioning better actually

i've been phasing the phrase 'google it' out of my vocabulary and going back to 'look it up'. fuck you youve lost your generic trademark privileges

Network (1976, written by Paddy Chayefsky and directed by Sidney Lumet)

[headhunter455]

Network is such an important film that literally everyone should watch.

"But first, you have to get mad. You have to yell I'm a human being god damn it, my life has value." (Paraphrased)

if you wiped every ICE agent off the face of the earth, a hundred million people would become safer overnight. if you wiped every furry off the face of the earth, the entire internet would collapse for good in a matter of hours. i know where my allegiances lie.

first of all, through the power of tape anything is possible, so jot that down

[neutrinos-and-muons]

I was actually referring to this. I didn’t know about the Gecko thing, man really likes tape ig

The thing you have to understand about this, btw, is that people had been trying unsuccessfully to isolate monolayer graphene for 60 years before this, using just about every method you could imagine. Epitaxial growth, chemical exfoliation, interchalated synthesis, mechanical drawing—these were able to produce graphite sheets a few hundred atoms thick, or tiny monolayer flecks embedded in some other substrate, but the dream of a single, uniform, free-standing graphene monolayer always seemed just out of reach of current experimental techniques.

And then, in 2004, Andre and Konstantin come along with a roll of literal fucking Scotch tape-

Andre Geim is someone I think of fondly.

There is an Ig Nobel prize (a pun on the world “ignoble,” a joke prize for science that is funny (but still sensible.) Andre Geim won it for magnetically levitating a live frog. A few years later he became the guy who peeled graphene with scotch tape.

He is the only person so far who has won both a Nobel Prize (graphene) and an Ig Nobel Prize. SUCH a good career bag.

complimented a cashier on her turtle pin this morning and she said "oh thanks, I am a little bit of a Turtle Person" with the carefully contained energy of Cookie Monster telling you he's mildly fond of chocolate chips

I hope she and the multiple tons of turtle merch she definitely has at home are having a wonderful day

being anti ai is making me feel like in going insane. "you asked for thoughts about your characters backstory and i put it into chat gpt for ideas". studies have proven its making people dumber. "i asked ai to generate this meal plan". its causing water shortages where its data centers are built. "ill generate some pictures for the dnd campaign". its spreading misinformation. "meta, generate an image of this guy doing something stupid". its trained off stolen images, writing, video, audio. "i was talking with my snapchat ai-" theres no way to verify what its doing with the information it collects. "youtube is impletmenting ai based age verification". my work has an entire graphics media department and has still put ai generated motivational posters up everywhere. ai playlists. ai facial verification. google ai microsoft ai meta ai snapchat ai. everyone treats it as a novelty. every treats it as a mandatory part of life. am i the only one who sees it? am i paranoid? am i going insane? jesus fucking christ. if i have to hear one more "well at least-" "but it does-" "but you can-" im about to lose it. i shouldnt have to jump through hoops to avoid the evil machine. have you no principles? no goddamn spine? am i the weird one here?

fellas, is it blasphemous to hang up a traditional catholic saint above your thermostat if said saint is Saint Jin Dahaad, the Air-Conditioning Lizard?

asking for a friend, Saint Jin Dahaad must grant fresh cool air conditioning
