Caroline Dhavernas! Back on television! In a medical drama. Boo.
With Enrique Murciano! Yay.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Disney's Princesses Reimagined As Comic Book Heroines
Disney's princesses reimagined as sluts. That's NSFW where I work.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A Computer Algorithm That Can Detect Sarcasm
Crap. I was planning on using sarcasm as my primary weapon during the robot rebellion....
To create such an algorithm, the team scanned 66,000 Amazon.com product reviews, with three different human annotators tagging sentences for sarcasm. The team then identified certain sarcastic patterns that emerged in the reviews and created a classification algorithm that puts each statement into a sarcastic class.
The algorithms were then trained on that seed set of 80 sentences from the collection of reviews. These annotated sentences helped the algorithm learn what sorts of words and patterns distinguish sarcastic remarks – those that mean the opposite of what they literally convey, or that convey a sentiment inconsistent with the literal reading.
But I like how they used Amazon product reviews as a source of sarcasm....

Dammit, Tommy, I was just coming here with that. Except the slashdot link. Which also mentions twitter.

I was thinking of saying it was borderline safe for work, as they're all clothed - I mean, at least as much clothing as a bikini. Is it the cartoon sluttiness that pushes it over the NSFW border?

They're all posed and nigh undressed and nips pushed out and trampy. Not letting anyone see that over my shoulder.

Yeah, I guess so.

Oops, I didn't catch the nips on my first view. Anyway, I'll adjust my NSFW posting filter accordingly.
