changing my username: grezzka → noslume lol. been that for years but it just doesn't feel like me anymore
"nostos" is greek for homecoming (root of "nostalgia"), "lume" is light. this is grief for the life i used to have, and hope for what's ahead.
same me, new name 💫
@meowmewmrowm@dahmerswetdreem This gotta be fake or some shit cuz how do you just not notice for over a year that your friend was messaging you????? Esp when these are clearly messages on something they use (considering they said “I wanted to check my old texts”)??? I’m genuinely not buying it lol
Art of Play, the store of the Kelly Clarkson saga, shares new statement:
“We'd like to clarify one additional detail about Kelly Clarkson's visit to our Curiosity Shop on Saturday.
During the 5 minutes she spent in the store, she inquired about our mechanical bird puppet named Molly. We explained that while Molly is permanently attached to the wall and serves as a de facto mascot for our shop, a nearly identical automaton is owned by the creator of the machines, a brilliant artist named Bliss Kolb who lives in Seattle. He told us he would be willing to part with Molly's twin for $15,000. We explained all of this to Kelly Clarkson.
We also offered to show her a different singing bird automaton, made by a traditional clockmaking shop in Germany, that she could have taken home with her that day. It costs about $2,000. She did not stick around long enough to see it.
We've reached out to Kelly directly to try and clear the air. We really do wish her the best and hope that someday we can all laugh about this misunderstanding.”
@heythatsjasper@PopBase It absolutely always was. Kelly is 100% not representing the entire truth here and based her response around how she perceived the situation - it’s clear by the details.
unreal that in my area i can order off doordash and get my shit in half an hour but when i try to use grubhub cuz it has a deal or its cheaper i wait for my shit for an hour to an hour and a half
@drcatboyuno I think it’s incredibly misleading as well that having a skip button means nobody will engage with the story or lore at all. Plenty of games have one and have extraordinarily active lore communities.
THE CEOS OF CHATGPT AND CLAUDE JUST RELEASED THEIR FIRST JOINT PRODUCT

on top is the real APT video. underneath, the same clip redone frame for frame with the two biggest bosses in AI
Altman takes Rosé's part and sings on his knees into the mic. Amodei, who left OpenAI in 2021 to start the rival lab, gets Bruno Mars on drums and keeps the face of a man running a safety review
then they sit on the floor holding hands over a red cup, the most expensive play date in history. Altman wins the round and points at Amodei laughing, as if he just won back all the people who quit to build Claude. by the end he is shirtless and swinging his top in circles, while the other guy lies on one elbow and watches, looking like the author of a very long essay warning about exactly this
why nobody can tell them apart:
→ every pose is copied 1:1, from Altman kneeling with the mic to each dance move
→ the camera repeats the fisheye shot from above, the old TV frame and the wide angles
→ the two keep their usual clothes, a dark sweater and a grey blazer with glasses, in place of leather jackets
→ shadows fall on the pink floor under both of them and the red cup
→ fast moves blur the way they do on real film, the head shake at the drums and the shirt spin
it works on your boss and the coworker he can't stand too. @Picsart needs one portrait photo of each and a song everyone can sing along to
Amodei still hasn't signed off on the release
The funnier part of swifties falling for fake media about Tinashe is that Tinashe has always played in dumb people’s faces so her replying to them is very funny
I loved Taylor’s music DOWN before Midnights but the fact that swifties are this toxic makes me embarrassed. Tinashe and her music are not a threat to Taylor Swift and you have to question the intention behind making fake media like this just to trash her. It’s embarrassing.
