Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

Wouldn't it be wyf-wolf?

I would bet quite a lot of money that the author of this little comic from the 80s wasn't thinking about old english while writing it.

I miss high Twitter. Back when I had a place to put every random thought without supporting a wannabe fascist or be shouted down by mouthbreathers. Tho to be honest, most of those thoughts were just ones that I knew would annoy my wife or that she didn't give an ish about. For example, I was just listening to Prince & the Revolution's Parade/Music from Under the Cherry Moon - and once upon a time I would have done a whole twitter thread about it. Now I just think it and move on.

Bluesky now has the non-cancelled comedians telling jokes there. (Patton Oswalt posts like mad, for instance.) Highly recommended.

I’ve tried Bluesky but it just wasn’t the same. The moment is gone. I can accept that but I still do miss it.

Just thinking things and moving on from them is, imo, a great skill that people my age and younger were disinclined to learn growing up with social media. I am...I won't say I'm doing a lot better as I've rediscovered the ability but it has made a noticeable difference in my moods.

Great video from Brandon Sanderson on “AI” art.

The other day I heard a podcast about how most CEOs don't have a clear strategy for AI deployment so that it is effective. They need the workers to invent it. The same workers whose best interest is on it not having a real impact and just dying out.

That's what this thread and the Geek section are for imo.

High Twitter....yeah, not a thing I experienced.

So he's a normal dude that only turns into a vampire when the full moon comes out?

Or a normal vampire that becomes a moon when a werewolf comes out.

…and he lives in a city with a large LGBTQ* population.
