Lady behind me at The Thing screening last night to her partner "why are they shooting at the dog?" and her partner says very firmly "have you never seen a film before? You watch it and information is revealed"

An Uruk Hai announcing that Double Fine is back on the menu, boys

In Dune, the prohibition on AI leads to new schools of thought that push the boundaries of human intellect. In 40K, it means that the trillions of humans in the Imperium represent a surplus of grey matter that can be repurposed for biological computational power (once any free will is scooped out).

A screenshot from the 40K videogame Boltgun, where a servo skull named Incommodus is introduced in a cutscene. He's a floating skull wearing a burning brazier like a jaunty hat.

Impossible for me to think about "the troops" without thinking of BoJack Horseman nailing it

A screenshot from BoJack Horseman, featuring the character's (entirely accurate) rant that "I don't agree to that. Maybe some of the troops are heroes but not automatically. I'm sure a lot of the troops are jerks - most people are jerks already, and it's not like giving a jerk a gun and telling him it's okay to kill people suddenly turns that jerk into a hero."

it rules that billionaires have cavernously empty brains. just the dumbest motherfuckers to ever live sitting on a dragon's hoard of immoral wealth. I want to take a look around in there with a flashlight. the acoustics must be amazing.

remember when they did this already. it's so old there are penny arcade comics about it. eat fresh!

A Penny Arcade comic, "Advertising in the Future", depicting a scenario in which the players try to co-ordinate meeting under a billboard with targeted advertising. The punchline is that one of the players is getting ads for extreme porn and lies that he's seeing an ad for Subway. "Eat fresh!"

the only image of him I want to see

text by bumlung that reads "elon musk ripped apart by dogs"

yeah it's definitely not just that I mistyped "meme" on my phone

Google's AI summary speciously claiming that "The M2M2" or "M2/M2" usually refers to a famous typographic edit of Lionel Hutz's business card in The Simpsons.

Jesse what the fuck are you talking about

your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

A screenshot from Cats (2019), reduced to black and white, with the bearded face of Karl Marx crudely photoshopped onto the body of a small anthropomorphic cat who is sitting at a dinner table holding a much too large knife and fork.

I refuse to hand it to Google's AI because it's just scraping Reddit but yeah, that is who I meant

Google search results for "carpool karaoke twat" returns an AI overview reading, "It sounds like you are thinking of British television and talk show host James Corden. He is the creator and host of the viral segment Carpool Karaoke, which featured massive musical artists singing along to their hits in the front seat of a car."

I tried to check out the new season of Marathon earlier and kept getting kicked out mid-match. went to go grab the new Twitch drops instead and uhhhh I don't think it's going well, folks

A cropped screenshot of several Marathon Twitch streams. None show gameplay. Two have identical "Continue waiting?" prompts, one is blank, and one is looking for a game to join.

This is a cat check point. Relinquish your most recent cat picture on your phone.

Photo of a black and white semi-feral cat with part of his ear missing, sitting on a rainy doorstep. His whiskers are bonkers.

dwelling on this and: it is also insanely funny. like you could not satirise this it's too on the nose. the only way to improve the symbolism would be to get that saudi macdonalds truck or just straight up build one on the white house lawn.

the Saudi Macdonald's truck brought out for Trump's state visit, perhaps the most devastating read of America as a country ever given by another nation

Old minis vs new! A couple of oldies: Eldrad Ulthran and the first Emperor's Champion mini, painted late '90s/early '00s. Then some newer ones: a kitbashed zealot for Darktide and a traitor guardsman with chaotic scrawls on his cloak.

similar to my favourite—slight cut out around the knurled thumb things, and importantly, extremely worn in and easy to open from being compulsively opened and closed for years

Korlis@korl· May 22

lmfao

I google "shut up" and the chatbot interprets it as an instruction, responding "Understood. I am stepping back and muting my responses."

Korlis@korl· May 22

I don't usually rawdog google so I don't have to see the AI but obviously I had to test this and... yeah

I google "disregard" and the AI overview gets kind of confused, gives the pronunciation for disregard for some reason, then says "Message received! I'm here and ready to help. How can I assist you today?"

back on my bullshit (making sure my Space Marine II characters are dripped out)

A collage of Space Marine II screenshots depicting the seven classes (Tactical, Assault, Vanguard, Bulwark, Sniper, Heavy, and Techmarine) all in the predominantly black and white livery of the Black Templars.

If you see this, post a concert pic you took

Photo from the crowd watching Rammstein perform live in January 2012. On stage, the band is illuminated by two plumes of flame from mask-mounted flamethrowers, with a third about to ignite.

I got my lip pierced yesterday and I did consider getting a conch piercing at the same time, and not just so I could make this intrusive thought real

*clears throat* the three genders:

A stacked image of game cover art: LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, Coffee Talk Tokyo, Zero Parades. The Coffee Talk Tokyo art is partially obscured by an "on wishlist" label because the user who created this was too lazy to remove then re-add the game from their wishlist.
