@ChrisWere@toot.wales It has to be Qimir.

@ChrisWere@toot.wales That's the thing. In the one hand it's too obvious (but I'm not sure yet, it's a great show, it'll all depend on the landing) on the other hand, the character serves no purpose whatsoever beyond the first scene he was in (which could have been filled by a random alien extra), and he's sticking around for some reason.So he has to have another purpose.

@BeAware@social.beaware.live I can't stand screenshots anymore. They're everywhere now. On Threads, I see more and more people posting screenshots of other Threads posts. WTF?

The US is weird in many ways... Oh fuck, I can't even use "weird" anymore because now, it's used for another weird American thing... So...Take two: The US is strange in many ways. I've studied the country in and out, formally, informally, academically, and more, I lived there, and I think I have a pretty good grasp of most of the wei... strange things from there.However, one thing I still don't get is those political "National Conventions" (both the RNC and the DNC).First, why are they even happening? What's their point? Apart from trying to make politics look like show business for one week every four years?Second, why do people actually watch and care about them?Anyone?#USPolitics

@Phil@freeatlantis.com There's sure a lot of talk about them online.

Sometimes I wonder if people who post screenshots left and right just don't know about the concept of copying and pasting a link.#screenshots #SocialMedia

I think it's a great thing that Pixelfed is getting adopted by a lot of people who are not Mastodon users.Among other reasons because people will finally start to understand what the Fediverse is and that it's not synonymous with Mastodon.#PixelFed #Mastodon #Fediverse #SocialMedia

For years, I found the morning physical exercises on Japanese TV amusing... Until I realized (this morning) that maybe I should do them. I really don't move enough these days, and that could be why I have some joints that hurt.

One thing that prevented me from jumping on the Lemmy bandwagon was the UI that I found underwhelming and a bit unpractical (and I'm someone who prefers the "old Reddit" UI and who doesn't mind the vanilla Mastodon).That was until I discovered Piefed! Very similary to Lemmy (I assume it's a fork - update: I'm being told that it's not a fork, my bad) but with a much nicer UI. It also has a great onboarding except for the part where it automatically signed me up to too many topics.(thanks @atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org for putting it on my radar)#Reddit #Lemmy #Piefed #Fediverse

It's time for some new WTF Gacha!!!Starting with some cute animals reenacting Munch's The Scream.It's actually a good occasion to maybe fix a misunderstanding that's been hindering you for so many years. In The Scream, the person represented is not the one who screams. They're the one hearing the scream and being terrified by it. Look at their facial expression, look at the hands on the sides of the heads.😱Now you know, and you're welcome.(1/2) ⤵️#Japan #Gacha #GachaGacha #Gashapon #Gachapon #TheScream #EdvardMunch #art

The second one is High Heel Cats, because why not. Note that this is part two, so part one was popular apparently.#Japan #Gacha #GachaGacha #Gashapon #Gachapon

Dear Americans, a quick reminder that you are loud. Smell the room when you're abroad, please.The ferry was quiet, you couldn't hear a single conversation. Two American couples came onboard and... There goes everyone's quiet time, the whole space is now occupied with their conversation.🤦♂️#Americans #Muricans

@cy@fedicy.us.to It's definitely both.I can spot an American from afar just by the way they move, but Americans are definitely louder than most other nationalities too.

@gullevek@famichiki.jp @stux@mstdn.social There will not be any true AI because LLM are going to help crash the modern world faster than it was in the process of doing before they arrived.

It's weird how generative AI is so amazing with all the topics I don't know about, but always wrong with the topics I'm knowledgeable about.Funny coincidence, don't you think?#AI #GenerativeAI #LLM #ChatGPT

I just can't with the "consent champions" on social media anymore.You're a public social media, people interacting with you is the point.If you don't want that, you're in the wrong place.You gave your consent the moment you signed up.You gave your consent a second time the moment you published your post as "public."Stop being silly just for the sake of appearing more progressive than you are.#SocialMedia #Fediverse #Consent

Someone complained on YouTube (I know, why did I read some YouTube comments?) that revealing Destruction in the Sandman trailer was a spoiler.I tried to explain that a 30+ year-old spoiler was not really a spoiler. They argued that there were people who hadn't read the books.I wanted to tell them that this is Orpheus they should be worried about, not Destruction, but I was afraid they'd blame me for revealing a 3,000 year-old spoiler.#spoilers #Sandman

To extrapolate beyond fiction, I see this kind of behavior more and more. Willfully ignorant people who are unhappy when faced with facts and knowledge.Yet, another symptoms of our terminally ill civilization.

@lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org @moira@mastodon.murkworks.net @mastodonmigration@mastodon.online @quillmatiq@mastodon.social @anewsocial@mastodon.social The back button is a wonderful invention.What's weird is that you seem to be talking theoritically, while it's already been happening and working fine for a year or two already.
