One of my best bits is when my fluffy cat is yelling at me for treats and I show him my watch and tell him how long it is until treat time and he doesn’t even look at it. Only I get to enjoy this extremely good bit.

I don’t know why people hate Jaws: The Revenge. It is so much funnier than any other Jaws movie.

I can’t explain how fucked up it is that Threads created a more hostile atmosphere to the New York Times than we did. Tony the Tiger brand humping website just beat our asses.

Wow. @nytimes.com has closed their Threads account and left the platform after days of getting just shredded in the replies for their handling of Biden post debate. Now they're getting dog piled on Instagram for running from Threads.

Literally the thing I used my NYT subscription for the most was their cooking site. Open to suggestions for a replacement there.

Someone should invent a Paper of Record that doesn't give fascists handjobs on the regular

Should have done this ages ago, really. See if you can end American democracy without my $1 a week, fellas.

I know they get rolled all the time but for the Times to get rolled by “actually they just want to reclaim the values of Western civilization as they see it … with larger families and fewer immigrants” is the Times putting the 14 words in the paper

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

While also having a scene shot in my favorite diner. Unbeatable.

Still remarkable to me how well the movie WIDOWS handles the issues of race, poverty, class, crime, and corruption in the context of a heist-thriller

Railway maintenance my butt. Japan is deploying gundams in direct contravention of the 1945 terms of surrender. Outrageous.

Japan introduces enormous humanoid robot to maintain train lineswww.theguardian.com The 12-metre high machine has coke bottle eyes and a crude Wall-E-like head, as well as large arms that can be fitted with blades or paint brushes

I happen to have this framed near my desk so I guess I do still think about it pretty regularly

reskeet with a tweet you still think about

I watched Jaws 3 for the first time since I got my mom to let me see it in theaters in 1983 because I wanted to see any 3D movie. Very bad Jaws movie but an amazing anti-advertisement for Seaworld. Why they let that happen is very mysterious. Still good for some laughs.

Did you know that the iOS photos app can actually identify animals in your pictures

Getting old is the most unforgivable sin. Unlike being an actual convicted criminal which we’ve discovered is cool as hell.

there should be a limit on things

Lots of people are going to be laughing that AI is bad at what it supposedly does, insanely expensive, environmentally disastrous, and also unprofitable, but it gave us the plot of The Beekeeper so we’re probably breaking even here. futurism.com/the-byte/ai-...

It’s difficult to judge objectively separated by years but I do think this is the loudest and most sustained neighborhood exploding I’ve encountered

I just walked half an hour down the river and everything looks like this no compositing required

Cape Fear is a 4th of July movie

The main thing Jaws 2 fucks up is not bringing back Harry with an even worse hat
