Here’s a “classification of 74 facial emoji’s emotional states on the valence-arousal axes” which are “found to comprehensively express the human emotional states”. Complex happysadcrylaughfeelings be damned. (The GOOD INTERNET-Logo is right at the center of the action and pretty cool about it.)
There nothing more relaxing and we’ll-get-out-of-this-pandemic-crap-soon-ing than watching a “bartender in the Chinese ski resort of Zhangjiakou [who] wears a blue and white hazmat suit as he pours a cocktail, before passing the drink to a similarly attired waiter who shuffles across the room in blue plastic booties to deliver the drink”.
If you ever wanted to put a knot in your brain, watch this visualization of the slitscan technique.
Scientists reviewed the research on the cosmological origin of life and has found that, yes, octopusses are egg astronauts riding big balls in space: “Cephalopods are also very diverse, with the behaviourally complex coleoids, (Squid, Cuttlefish and Octopus) presumably arising under a pure terrestrial evolutionary model from the more primitive nautiloids. However the genetic divergence of Octopus from its ancestral coleoid sub-class is very great [...] One plausible explanation, in our view, is that the new genes are likely new extraterrestrial imports to Earth - most plausibly as an already coherent group of functioning genes within (say) cryopreserved and matrix protected fertilized Octopus eggs.”
Here’s a medium long blogpost to spell the word “bullshit”: Max Read is dissecting the “expanding, interconnected, celebrity-based web3 financial-cultural complex: Did you know, for example, that Jimmy Fallon is represented by CAA, which is an investor in the NFT marketplace OpenSea, and which recently signed a deal to represent the NFT collector 0xb1, who owns NFTs from Bored Ape Yacht Club and World of Women? Did you know that another CAA client, Ashton Kutcher1, is also an investor in OpenSea, through his company Sound Ventures? Or that Kutcher will be starring in a Netflix romcom called Your Place or Mine with Reese Witherspoon, the most prominent owner of World of Women NFTs, who also happens to be married to a CAA agent? Or that the people behind World of Women and Bored Ape Yacht Club are both represented by Kutcher's partner in Sound Ventures, the music manager Guy Oseary? Did you know that Oseary's other major venture these days is pearpop, a platform for connecting Tiktok influencers to celebrities for collaborations — a platform used by none other than Paris Hilton?”

GTA6 confirmed and we can speculate now where it will take place. I still hope for a multi-city experience like a continental GTA where you can drive into realistic depictions of Rome and Berlin and Paris, preferably online, but maybe that’s still a bit much. Maybe you can race through Palo Alto demolishing the offices of Facebookmeta, who knows.
Fucking while flying as a service: “Love Cloud, an airplane charter business, offers private flights that help couples take their relationships (and relations) to new heights.” You can book your aviate fucking session right here. Two Girls with 1 cup prefer the Vomit Comet.
Endangered animal NFTs are a thing you can buy now and its going as expected.
Here’s a dead fish with shit in his head. Literally. (Safe for work.)
With all that shit going on in our lives its sweet to read a headline like this: An 8-year-old slid his handwritten book onto a library shelf. It now has a years-long waitlist.
