  • TIL a silly Looney Tunes joke is factual.

  • My big brained billionaire coyote boyfriend wants to invite a roadrunner into the mix but I haven't worked through my feelings about casual polyamory yet and also I am a ghost bigfoot

  • It's eerie how his eyes follow you

    Jump

  • You slide to the ground behind the bed, gasping for breath while also trying to be silent. You crawl under the bed, hidden in the deep shadows and dust. His ghostly light moves down the hallway, the pale glow dimming with each ragged inhale through the fingers clasped tightly over your mouth.

    You exhale a sigh of relief and crawl out. Dusting yourself off, your eye catches the old vanity mirror against the wall. Your face is gaunt and skeletal. The Doctor is standing directly behind you. "Please state the nature of your medical emergency," he starts to say, the final words cut off by your echoing screams.

  • Behold, a square

    Jump

  • The semi-circle is one side, then the 2 straight edges, and the arc between them is the 4th side.

  • Was it even real?

  • My grandma, what a big brain you have!

  • Tell him he is a good cat and a pretty cat

  • The other side of this would be a pretty good Chief O'Brian at Work comic.

    "Oh g'morning kitty, one to beam down?"

    beams kitty, smiles

    comm beep

    Meow meow meow

    "Oh uh, yes sir, didn't realize you outrank me, no sir. Yes sir, one to beam up"

    beams kitty up

    kitty stares at Chief

    Meow.

    "Ah, yessir, one to beam down."

    comm beeps, Chief frowns

  • Oh, we all know Sal... [Too Much Coffee Man]

  • I agree with the general sentiment, I don't think friendship is lesser, but I'd like to see an example of a healthy romance that doesn't involve friendship.

  • Star Trek: Sesame Corridor

    Jump

  • Captain, I'm reading a class 5 pun off the port nacelles! If we don't stabilize the vote ratio, we could find ourselves trapped in a meme template temporal loop.

  • Kira, no!

    Jump

  • Odo ruins another fine Bajoran traditional festival by imprisoning all the children dressed as Pah Wraith for Prophetsween. In the b-plot, Sisko recreates field of dreams in the holodeck and has an emotional moment with the hologhost of Jackie Robinson, played by Tony Todd for maximum tears.

  • YouTube Shorts can now run up to three minutes

    Jump

  • I don't know who really got that trend going. I've enjoyed up to hour-ish long videos on more or less anything, but a few years back the first truly excessively long video I remember is Whitelight's 7 hour long overview/miniseries on Death Stranding. And to be fair, I did find that faster and more enjoyable than playing Death Stranding.

    (Also I get why folks make them: more ads plus having that much watch time heavily biases the algorithm towards you so it's more money overall. And the kind of person that watches 7 hour long reviews in the background (or while sleeping), aka me, certainly help weigh the scales for super long videos.)

    But also, I kind of like when shorts are like a minute long or less so I can watch one when I'm like, on the shitter and not accidentally end up with a video essay. I mean 10 minutes used to be the limit of every youtube video! Will they introduce a new, even shorter format? Bring vines or blips back?

  • Alright, I split the differance, I think that should make everyone happy.

  • Can't wait for 10 hour long reviews of Elden Ring, BUT VERTICALE AND LOOPS NOW!?!

  • Will Smith Ripped Epically Bad Fart While Filming Men In Black, Director Says

    Jump

  • The article reads like a fever dream, I can't believe Kotoku published this guy's notes about a podcast he heard. They say the car set wqs "hermetically sealed" because it had to go upside down, and that the set was evacuated for 3 hours after. But also that Will Smith just farts a lot, as everyone knows. Insane stuff.

  • Thanks! I hate it!

  • The Unpaid Backbone of Open Source: Solo Maintainers Face Increasing Security Demands

    Jump

  • I made a little "reverse regex" library for fun ages ago. You give it a regex and it generates text from it. I thought of it as a toy, but people found use for it in unit testing. Eventually, someone forked it and added better test support because I am the world's worst maintainer.

    Anyway, I only say this because I learned that it is shockingly easy for some throw away idea you put up on GitHub to suddenly become the unpaid backbone of somebody else's CI pipeline. Then, you're getting angry PR's and tickets about how a security issue or an unpatched dependency in your toy library NEEDS to be fixed and now you've got a new unpaid job!

    Or you do what I did and abandon the project so one of the poor fools actually using it in production needs to maintain it. Us programmers though, we like when our code is being used, we like to help people, we want the work we put out there with our name on it to be a good representative of us, to show us as helpful, hard-working, and dependable. It can be so easy to fall into this feeling that because you wrote it, you "owe" your users some ongoing commitment.

    And those users are often themselves beholden to their bosses, just trying to find the least-effort solution to get back to what they wanted to be working on. The shit all rolls down hill and ultimately I think our industry needs massive structural changes to thrive. I honestly sometimes muse about a return to the guild system. All feature requests and bug reports (and I mean like, globally, ALL tickets) come to the Guild and we shall assign them out under the principle of mutual aid (from each member according to ability, to each member according to their needs). In this way, the Guild will carefully train the next generation of holy adeptus mechanicus and make broad decisions on how technology can best serve the people.
