Obligatory shoutout for The Dawn of Everything, which explores the current findings regarding the "agricultural revolution", among other things of prehistoric civilizations. Fucking amazing book

I rewatched some Tiny Toons episodes a while back, and thought that overall they held up well, ignoring the dated references. Animaniacs held up better, but the references still show their age.

If I'm not mistaken, He-Man was the one that started the boom of "cartoons that are actually 20 minutes of ads for a toy line", all thanks to the amazing profits that George Lucas was making off the toy rights of Star Wars.

Bucky o'Hare's characters were designed after the toys, ensuring that any holes a kid would see in the toys was also there in the cartoon. These holes were usually on the soles or hands to attach accessories.

Tell record labels that if they make a working, near foolproof age verification algo, they'll get a 30 years of copyright extension for free. They'll fix it today

Remember Win Elvis-n-Space? Or Lemmings Paintball? Or even Odyssey Legend of Nemesis?

Found this little gem of a site recently. Unfortunately, it hasn't been updated in a while (last blog post is from Sep 2025)

Podcast longo, quase 2 horas, de Atila Lamarino com João Magalhães, falando sobre o "colonialismo dos dados", como as big techs estão dominando o mundo. A intro é bem longa, pra contextualizar bem o podcast pra quem tá mais por fora das notícias de tecnologia.

Uma das frases soltas que achei muito interessante, "No ano de nosso senhor 2025, eu preciso estudar a Companhia das Índias Orientais pra entender como as big techs hoje estão funcionando"

Outra coisa interessante que conversam é como Whatsapp virou, efetivamente, parte da infraestrutura de comunicação do Brasil, e por isso é praticamente impossível conseguir colocar qualquer alternativa no lugar.

Greeks and Romans would frequently curse anyone they didn't like, writing it as a curse on a lead sheet, roll it up and pierce it with a nail and put in a specific place, depending on the curse.

Given the amount of such tablets found, they probably cursed someone every other week.

I was looking for youtube alternatives and came across this site. Looks like a good place to post shitpost videos and all other sorts of crazy stuff.

"How AI manages to do that?"

Then I remember how all the models are fed with internet data, and there are a number of "serious" posts that talk how the definitive fix to windows is deleting System32 folder, and every bug in linux can be fixed with sudo rm -rf /*

  • Dude sets up community, is sole moderator
  • Dude sets up autoban bot
  • Sole moderator makes a post
  • Autoban bot deletes the post and bans the sole moderator

Sounds like a typical Microsoft experience.

I really recommend everyone to read the article. Shit somehow only gets worse

Not only is the asshole a rapist, he also tried to drown one of his sons because said son confronted him after catching mr "model citizen" with his hands on one of the daughters' private parts.

Those reunification therapy sessions? The mother has to pay the $370 per week alone when it's just her 2 sons attending. There was also one session:

She said she checked on her children during the session and found one of her sons curled in a fetal position on the ground in Bassett’s office, but Bassett ordered her to stop addressing what the mother termed the serious needs of her children.

She said she fears the reunification therapy is harming her boys, whom she described as crying uncontrollably, having explosive outbursts and expressing thoughts of self-harm after attending Bassett’s reunification sessions with their father.

Ms. Basset, the "reunification therapist", deserves some jail time as well
