Another day (well) above 30°C in the Netherlands, and even 35°C in the south. @NOS keeps choosing fun pictures with this kind of news, but it isn't funny anymore. https://nos.nl/l/2619358
this was actually pretty funny (fuck microsoft and lg, though... and never connect smart tvs to the internet) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9uefFYe6bM
Oh, this is just too funny. The my pillow guy, Trump's pick to run for Minnesota governor, isn't even registered to vote in that state.

Funny how Rep. Salazar speaks up now that she's in a tight race. Why not before? She didn't see the damage #ICE was inflicting on immigrant communities? She was unaware of the statistics of who was deported? Is this #ignorance?

Some people see a fox and make a pensive expression! Turns out Trackapalooza 2026 got moved to August 1 so I'll make different plans for tomorrow

Infinity converts the possible into the inevitable.
--Norman Cousins, from Editor's Odyssey, Saturday Review, April 15, 1978 (p. 18)
Quote is copied from "Beta Max" the WILD new novel, coming very soon, by Mark A. Rayner.
This book is soon to be available in all book forms.
Mark A. Rayner is INGENIOUS, and his stories are relentlessly funny, and original.
Alpha Max (the 1st in the series) is available NOW.
Absolutely jammed my funny bone just now. #fml
@… as for the term "AI", I find it funny - it seems we humans call "AI" things that computer do, and we are still better at it. Once computer bests us, we seem to stop using the term "AI" -- e.g. when computers started really playing chess against humans it was definitely considered (high-end!) AI, and nowadays it is just "some…
Look, I know Jon has his #peculiarities but "THE GAMES JUST PLAYING ITSELF JON" will never not be funny to me.
"what are the two readings of 🙃?" - Roughly, one group sees this emoji as a whimsical, funny alternative to the "regular" smiley 🙂 , which they also read as positive ("happy, smiling"). The other group sees it as sarcastic, passive-aggressive, or uncomfortable. There are many nuances but those are the two groups. #emojis #WorldEmojiDay #linguistics
matt walsh claiming colleges are unnecessary liberal indoctrination machines for 15 years and now believing there's a deliberate societal attempt to keep men out of the job market is so funny if it wouldn't be sad.
Wow, if you want to understand the high tech landscape as described by very smart, funny people, this is the way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CK8M5sKWRkc you'll also hear the contested history of the term 'enshittification' from the originator(s).
We finally got round to watching #deathofaunicorn last night. Sure there was some fairly saccharine writing and shonky #cgi but we still found it a very funny creature feature with loads of Easter eggs and nods to classic horror tropes. Considering it's budget I think it understood the assig…
It's very funny to me that I can't reach bsky when I click through links, but I _can_ see bsky posts through brid.gy because they come through a properly federated mastodon (well, activitypub) network. It's almost like federation and decentralization works.. or something.
It would be kinda funny if @… had the domain cccc.ccc.cc :D

Kinda funny that Bluesky goes down the second I ask this question
The netcode in Dark Souls 1 Remastered is absolutely abysmal. When I lose at PvP it feels unfair. When I win at PvP it feels unfair. But at least I get to see people in funny dress- oh wait everyone's wearing mask of the mother now along with armor that they picked with an encumbrance calculator.
@… "Can emojis be removed from Unicode? Or are they there forever once they are in?" - As of now, once they're in, they're in. The code point in Unicode is then reserved for this symbol. This can be a problem because emojis are kind of open-ended (other than alphabets and many other symbol lists). And it's possible that some emojis turn out to be rarely used. I could imagine that eventually some platforms just stop supporting a certain emoji - but it's really useful to have an international encoding standard which is fully supported by most technology (as anyone who has programmed or written online text in the early 2000s can attest). That's why getting a new emoji approved has become so hard - we're basically creating a kind of tech debt for a potentially long time.
Funny story - you could try creating a post now with a Unicode character from an "empty" code point in the emoji range, in the hope that it will get assigned in a later round. I've seen such a post on the old Twitter, which later was filled with all kinds of random emojis, when you look at it in a few years. #linguistics #emojis #WorldEmojiDay
'We've been breaking that rule for eight years:' NFL rule change leads to funny confession from one head coach

Funny to see this article from 2024 getting some traffic today. There's supposed to be a solar eclipse, and as I wrote, you can expect a particular search query to trend because us humans are predictable in our stupidity.

My colleague has built himself a press from wood, dowels, glue and two aluminum plates. The press has a lever you can sit on to exert the pressure onto a 3D printed inked template. This is one of his first results and I love it! 🤩
[Yes, at first I also read the word as "Storch!" (stork) 😅]

Funny, this companion robot ‘World’s 1st mass-produced humanoid robot’ motors to market in China instead of the company’s dual battery factory worker that can swap its own batteries. From $5K/mth https://newatlas.com/robotics/u1-worlds-first-mass-produced-humanoid-robot/
Funny to hear about (former Microsoft GM) Steve Ballmer's ignominious fate 😂: his suspension (according to Nathan Rarere on RNZ) due to damning integrity issues as owner of the LA Clippers basketball team. Unsurprising - he never had any integrity. What a drop kick. Here's the report: https://www.
It’s so funny that grown-ass Very Intelligent™ men believe the chat box is thinking about what they’re telling it to do

#EffectiveAltruism is really funny those days.
Going from “how can we help humanity most efficiently” to “and in order to do that USA needs to win over China in the AI race” in a few short years…
It's so funny how normies talk about Linux nowadays. On a gaming podcast about the Steam Machine someone said off-handely: “drivers aren't a problem under Linux; they all come with the kernel”
Not even a "not a problem anymore". How the times have changed.
Watched "Mythic Quest" which is four series of ten episodes of a sit com about a fictional video game studio on Apple TV.
I have previously said Apple are great at Sci Fi but have nothing remotely funny, but Mythic Quest is all right*. I laughed one or two times an episode at least.
Used to work in the game biz and it does show the character of that work surprisingly well.
"Always Sunny In Philadelphia"'s Charlie Day is involved in production and Rob McElhenney from that show one of the two main stars.
Does feel a bit like that show, the way the dialog from the actors is so often teasing verging on spiteful.
*, yeah okay Ted Lasso is alright as well. New womens-game series of that, after a long absence, is going okay too.

@… I have a note on your account that just says:
and choked on my water just now because of it. Why is this so funny?
Funny how so many mistake SilentSunday as a time for telling stories. That’s what all the other days are for, sillies.
I have a habit (automatic, didn't even realize it until recently) of wearing my own rings/watches/bracelets/tattoos on my left-arm... While wearing ones from important people (like my parents and gfs) on my right-arm.
Only noticed this now but while archiving old pictures, I realized I've been doing this for years... Even when I was 4y/o. :')
Funny how you develop certain small habits but don't actually realize you did until waaaaay later.
I made funny script, that search libraries from system packages

I grew these French Bean 'Celine' because they looked attractive. Past experience suggested purple beans changed to green on cooking and might be quite tasty. These were a disappointment having a tougher skin and a rather bland interior, they remained a rather washed out pink. The funny part was a granddaughter named them 'Witches Fingers'! #growyourown
a thing you would normally press "like" on has a funny number of likes (666, 1337, 420, 69, etc). do you still press like?
The damage that #bigotry has done to both individuals and this country keeps showing up. Funny how the supposedly "libertarian" #FederalistSociety so happily supports #ReligiousBigotry

I always love the "do you notice the crease?" Is always a funny thing reviewer obsess over because 50% of all iPhones I see in a the wild have a smashed screen with jagged glass.
Okay so the joke is still funny, but in reading the headline I thought this #TheOnion bit was going to be about how every movie is THREE GODDAMNED HOURS LONG these days. https://theonion.com/man-binge-watch…
This Jason Arday mess has both infuriating and sad elements, but its funny one is that his is probably going to be by far the most read dissertation of the year.
As Galbraith supposedly said, "If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular error."
How did I miss this? https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360997392/most-bonkers-govt-big-tech-spending-revelations This is damning. Wow. Compare to how much the NZ Gov't is spending with domestic tech suppliers.
