This is definitely a dude living his best life.

This is TWO dudes living their best lives, and I'm so fucking happy every time I see Jack Black and Kyle Gass together because how often do you actually get to see the spotlight on two people -- one of whom is a HUGE film star at this point -- who are fat and aging and yet also still goofing and rocking and enjoying one another's company despite the wild changes life has brought their way?

Kyle has talked about the difficulty he faced in watching his partner hit it big without him, and how they communicated about that and how they balance their friendship with their respective creative pursuits when they're not working on a Tenacious D project. I respect the fuck out of him for putting in the work to maintain that friendship and I respect the fuck out of both of them for being Peak Fat Old Goof Goals

My coworker Mike just started cracking up. Informed us someone was trying to make a test Outlook group at work and seems to have accidentally made it a real Outlook group.

Everyone added to the group is named Mike.

Creator of the group isn’t online yet but the Mikes are coming online in droves.

“Why was I added to this group? What do I have in common with all these other Mikes?” -one of the Mikes

“Ah, so this is Mikerosoft” (<- you’re never gonna guess what company I work for)

One Mike has suggested this is an effort by the group-creator to hunt Mikes for sport

Coworker (Mike T.) has informed us he had a meeting earlier today, and among the participants one person was missing (Mike S.) Current theory is first Mike casualty had occurred. More will follow.

Current suggestion is we attempt to add a non-Mike to the group, to test its security.

Coworker Alex: "Alex log, day 207. The Mikes have started to accept me as one of their own."

Delighted to inform you the group creator is not a Mike at all. It is apparently some guy named Ashton.

Great news everyone

Something Mikerosoft is going on at Microsoft. The many Michaels and Mikes at Microsoft woke up to a larger than normal amount of emails this week. “Someone accidentally(?) added every Mike/Michael at Microsoft to a discussion alias,” reveals Bing VP Michael Schechter. Copilot summarized the email thread and it says some of the Michaels are concerned “they might be hunted for sport” 😅.

Okay, first of all: it is not at all surprising that tumblr is into this beef. at least half of being in fandom is beefing constantly, and the levels of haterdom that Kendrick Lamar has achieved are...... truly impressive and a little bit scary.

this is gonna be messy and not comprehensive but i've been thinking about this for like a week and there's just so much....... context. there's layers to this shit.

so let's start at the beginning.

Tech bros went all in because they thought AI meant robot workers. Turns out it's just a very powerful tool for replacing specific tedious tasks and you still need all the same people they said were replaceable lol
