I loved Cascade Camp 1.Some familiar faces from Vibecamp but in a much smaller, calmer setting where more time was spent in long conversations than in events. With most attendees coming from the PNW, it's a great chance to connect with internet friends you can plan to meet again.

RT @SmlPenguinPolls: @himbopresident My Southern grandma used to say "A Lannister always repays his debts" decades before A Game of Thrones….

What do you want to know?.

I just learned that Alien: Earth is a TV show, not a movie. So it makes a lot more sense that I saw so many people posting commentary partway through watching it.

OH: "so a 'Labubu' is just a particular type of little guy?".

If Sylvester Graham could see this he'd be so mad / bricked up.

James Altucher just showed up on my feed (paid ad) for the first time in years so I think we're approaching the top.

💡: "Loading Screen Tips" alarm clock that recites inane advice until you wake up enough to turn it off.

If Costco started providing bags for customers instead of reusing empty boxes, I wonder how much it would cost them just to dispose of all that extra cardboard.

This is every bit as dumb and wasteful as when that other CEO changed HBO to "max" but people are getting negatively polarized into defending it

I don't mean this as a simple dunk - "people are getting dumber lol" - it's more like the whole cultural machine that let us make collective decisions has become deranged, and the worse it gets the less we understand what our options really are.

Dive schools should let everyone experience nitrogen narcosis in a controlled environment. "So they can recognize if it ever happens to them" 😉.Not because it sounds awesome and fun.

Is it just me or are slop accounts facetuning cats?.Lately, all the cats in my For You tab have suspiciously round eyes and big pupils.

RT @slimepriestess: @breaking2morrow im calling for a full shutdown of fawners until we can figure out what's going on.

New feature that displays "hours spent with loved ones" next to the "hours played" counter.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I read that Murakami book with interviews of people from the Tokyo subway sarin attack and so many of them report knowing something was wrong, and seeing that other people on the train knew something was wrong, but most people couldn't think straight long enough to open a window.

One of the scariest things, to me, is when people are in a deteriorating situation that progressively undermines their ability to understand it, like when nitrogen narcosis makes it harder for a diver to recognize the warning signs of nitrogen narcosis.

I just re-tried those prompts from a year ago and ChatGPT5 misses the mark even more. It makes sense, this output is clearly closer to a typical generation task. Those older results are the kind of weird creativity that tends to get sanded away.

I bet you could make good fold-ins with something like this:

this exchange is so beautiful i don't have words for it
