At least don’t make this murder machine walk so confidently. Give it a foppish C3PO thing not this slow gait BadMotherfuckerBot shit https://t.co/fo49kh4J7Y
If you're into the True Crime genre of entertainment, you're probably familiar with the Up and Vanished series from Payne Lindsey that had some pretty mind-boggling twists in their first season (Lindsey also did Atlanta Monster, fewer twists but every bit as engaging). Regardless of your familiarity, the second season started today and covers a new case, entirely unrelated to Season 1. Should be interesting...
wildest shit on twitter is two people in a loop of calling each other a bot, each a sentient person convinced the other is a programmed entity. i don't know where this ranks in the science fiction rating scale that is our world now
@videodante Everyone was worried that Artificial intelligence would be a problem once it could pass a Turing test and nobody thought to worry about what might happen when two humans were too dumb to administer a Turing test.
I think I just have to accept that I’m the kind of millennial that isn’t good at Instagram Stories, but will drop everything he’s doing to read an oral history of Double Dare.
Stop what you're doing and load up Enhance.computer - a CSI style web game in which you try to locate a secret code inside of an image, using your voice. Commands like "Zoom In" and "Enhance" - spoken aloud - are the name of the game. It's best played in a busy office or co-working space where everyone will look at you like an absolute loon. via Kottke.
T.O.P - DOOM DADA - this week I was slowly introduced to some proper K-Pop. It's kinda great.
Hotline Bling: SVU - an absolutely stupid mashup. It barely works. Actually, it's hard to say it "works" at all! I watched the whole thing.
Howie Mandel - "Watusi" - I'm sorry but if I have to know this exists, you have to know this exists.
28" Cheese Pizza Challenge - this mountain of a man eats an entire 28" pizza by himself. Sadly, there's no crazy turn of events like a 10-minute barfing or even major sweats. He just eats the whole thing no problem. I was transfixed in the worst way.
Noice - your reminder that Weird Internet hasn't gone anywhere.
Your Best Metal Scream - 7 minutes of people attempting to perform a legit metal scream. It's long but lots of amusing results along the way.
Have a great weekend. Take a deep dive into Vent Haven, the museum where ventriloquist dummies go to die. HT Forest.
I've got a new favorite album! I knew @vanityset's production would be fantastic, but I wasn't ready for @jasminkaset's distinctive vocals or strong lyrical voice. https://t.co/lATX4DfpiF https://t.co/rEfGGNrut8
I sit down with Nashville musicians, artists, scenesters and friends to talk about the history behind our favorite cult bands.
It's a deep dive into various influential musicians with the musicians that are influenced by them. This Black Flag episode with Zach Prosser is a captivating listen to say the least; especially if you don't know a damn thing about Black Flag.
There is an endless well of podcasts out in the world to listen to. I think that's a good thing, personally. It's like music - a little something for everybody and tons of room to share entertaining or enlightening things, should you find them.
One new podcast I've been diving into recently is the Food Court Movie Podcast from Sean Parrott and Jon Burr, two absurdly fanatic movie goers. The conceit of the show is that they record in a mall food court before and after seeing a film. It's a funny enough concept but the over-the-top nature of Jon Burr versus the more metered and subtle nature of Parrot is a nice combination.
It's only two episodes so far, so maybe the jury is still out but I'm enjoying thus far.
