That cat is a very versatile mewsician. (Sorry.) But seriously, several different ladies in bathrobes come out to yell at him. Is there an AI lesbian orgy going on inside that house?
Oh, and there’s a sixth thing to like about 2025: this here substack, I Might Be Wrong.
Spinal Tap 2 was a film where me and all my Gen X friends saw the trailer and were like “a Spinal Tap sequel? That looks like it might be funny” and then literally no one bothered to see it. I think we all assume we’ll see it available on some streaming platform a few years from now and then think “hey there’s that Spinal Tap sequel I never saw, I guess I’ll watch it now”.
You have literally described my exact thought process about it, even though seeing the first one at age 14 (albeit 20 years after it came out) was one of the most formative experiences of my life in shaping my sense of humor.
I love the AI cat video - unlike almost all other AI videos I've seen this far. But does it make anyone else unreasonably angry that the lady keeps saying "Inside with this" and "hiss"? It makes it so hard to enjoy the rest of the video, it's just so clearly, painfully AI
The Bedtime Parade of Nonsense is truly bullshit. Enjoy the next phase where you start the bedtime process earlier to accommodate all of that foolishness and your kid flips out and insists that he's being shorted time in his day, when it's simply because you're accounting for how long he takes preparing for bed.
That video about evolution was really fantastic. A little anthropocentric, maybe,
This year, while listening to college radio and hearing a long song called Red Star, I discovered a band called King Buffalo, a trio from New York. And hence I also discovered a genre called Stoner Rock or Pyschedelic Metal. I've been listening to them and related bands non-stop ever since, all six plus albums. So that's been more than good.
My God, you are right, AI cats are better than real ones! The future not only of comedy writers but all humans is either catastrophic or purrfect. Too bad I am too old to see how it turns out.
As a very old person with several progeny units now in successful adulthood, let me gently correct one sentence: "You have to do lotion and milk and stories and arrange the stuffed animals on the bed and jump off the chair five times and say goodnight to the Legos." Gently and lovingly stated "NO, you DO NOT 'have to.'" That is a choice. As are the tantrums that follow.
Gently and lovingly stated Yes you do have to. Putting your kid in their room at night and closing the door and not going back in is considered child abuse by mandated reporters if they decide they want to get you.

The thing I liked most this year is that sweetened condensed milk goes better in my coffee than real sugar!
It's taken the flavor of my coffee to new heights!
This seems like a candidate to make the list next year.
Woo Hoo!

Fighting your way to five picks this year was like undertaking The Hero's Journey out of Campbell.

I wonder if the lady saying “hiss” was the A.I. misunderstanding the prompt.
I suspect the same, and misinterpreting something so obvious is exactly what makes it so strikingly AI
Nah, I'll sometimes literally say "hiss! hiss! raah!" to my cats when they're misbehaving. It works exactly as well as saying anything else to them.
What really sells the car "safety video" video is the sound of the car seat motor as it goes backwards.
That first video is interesting but man
I hate portrait mode!
Fill the whole screen already!
Ugh it's all made for brain-dead slobs who don't look at anything except on their phones these days

How on earth did kids go to bed in, say, the 1830s?? It can't have been this precious. (Easy for me to say, though, since I'm not a parent, haha!)

Was that police how-to video inspired by the most recent season of Dexter? Are people copying Dexter in real life in that community? That's weird.
There has to be a better way to spell colander.
I hate those animal AI videos so I am not sure the cats are done yet.
"...prokaryote with a boring, first-thought flagellum..."
Sorry, dummy here.
