Turns out I was exactly like other girls, because all girls, all women, are real people, and deserving of a place in whatever room they want to enter. And yeah, I can understand that if you're a man who had the exact same dreams I did, looked at the exact same data, you may have assumed these...

Once again subsisted on iced lattes and a muffin until like 3:30 and then wondered why I felt bad. I seriously need better Saturday habits.

It’s really good. 🥮

My deepest gratefulness to @restingdinoface.bsky.social for introducing us to the National Theatre Live production of the Importance of Being Earnest because holy *shit* what an immaculate production

Purple States: We’re doing doing both! 🫠

Red States: We're cutting the humanities at our public universities to spend more money on right-wing indoctrination Blue States: We're cutting the same programs, but to spend more money on AI and the business school.

If you want a story about horny people who hate being told not to fuck, we wrote a solid million words about it. bsky.app/profile/most...

Because I should post about books more, how about a slow moving thread about our cult classic series: That Time Bisexual Bootleggers Paused Doing Kink To Overthrow a Theocracy. Pay what you want for book #1! payhip.com/b/Aa2l (Or pay $19.99 for the whole thing: payhip.com/b/sEkS )

I just got an IG reel about a new Filipino bakery. I was all in (new food to try!) until I saw that their entire menu board, including the food pics, is AI. The food to take photos of is RIGHT THERE y’all!

dear local business owners, nobody is going to tell you they’re bailing on your business because of the AI ads. they’ll just stop going. in a year you’ll have run out of customers and you’ll be totally mystified as to the reason

One of most heartbreaking things about Hank Green turning to LLMs is that he gets to do science communication full-time to a massive audience and is well-resourced. He doesn't need to cut corners or outsource his thinking. Meanwhile, there are so many people doing amazing work with zero resources.

ok but pulitzer for whoever got this shot, it’s so good

extremely upset that @lawfaremedia.org did not send me on assignment to the dog surf competition

USA: "1.5 million cartons of eggs have been recalled for Salmonella" The CDC is investigating a salmonella outbreak tied to a Texas egg producer, causing 98 illnesses and 26 hospitalisations across 17 states. A recall has been issued, officials warn affected eggs may still be in consumers fridges.

Outlook search can't find an email with a direct word search for a URL received yesteday and puts emails from two weeks ago as the top results for the sender of what I need. Unbelievably worthless product

The fact that these people have the nerve to open their mouths to talk about “protecting women and girls” while doing shit like this… whew!

Mike Johnson tells Politico that he's standing behind Republican Max Miller — despite the "serious" domestic abuse allegations against him.

here's how Dayton area businesses are responding to Buc-Ee's threatening a shop that existed 2 years before them in BEAVERcreek OH

My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.

The “best” thing about genAI (the quotes are doing heavy work here) is that it’s really lowered the bar on getting into hand-made art. Literally anything you make is better than ai. There’s never been a better time to throw away your fear and start learning that craft you’ve always wanted to learn.

They made a carousel “horse” just for @bowlerhatscience.org

This is pretty awesome. From Threads, I believe.

Not incidentally, sex ed and social media, two of the big things the Think of the Children crowd want to restrict children's access to, are the first place a lot of kids encounter the concept that a person with nominal authority over you doesn't get to touch you without permission

Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 6d ago

Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."

i think the party of sick freaks who want to inspect kid's private parts should be branded as such

Gillian Branstetter@gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 6d ago

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

Show me a woman who's never made dinner for a man who offered her violence and I'll show you a lotta money.

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

Home from seeing a great friend, where I met more of her friends as well as multiple excellent cats. Tomorrow, we eat weird eggs at the state fair 🥚

I work at the airport. I'm one of a dozen people i see mask regularly, out of hundreds. Those hundreds? They're complaining constantly about being sick. About making their family and friends sick. And they just accept that as a thing that'll happen. Like there's nothing to be done.

chadzia dax 🔞😷@m00psy.bsky.social · 5mo ago

i really wish people hadn’t declared it over and chucked their masks in the garbage, when it was absolutely not over. we didn’t used to be sick ALL THE TIME. but the average adult is on their fifth covid infection, and so many kids have never known life without the impacts of repeated infections.

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

The world has entered “an era of global water bankruptcy” with irreversible consequences, according to a new United Nations report. https://cnn.it/4qxGTNX

So fun. Please read it if you're also a freak.

Wild that SPREAD ME is almost out in paperback already. Wild that I got it published in the first place!! I still can't quite believe it. And y'all have been sprinting with it ever since. If you loved it / hated it / can't believe it's real, please preorder the paperback & tell your friends.

I desperately want more D&D movies that have the same cast all playing different characters, except like... Chris Pine is playing someone Suspiciously Similar to Edgin because he's the player who always plays A Type.

It's worth pointing out that the West Virginia trans girl at the center of the recent SCOTUS ruling was a MIDDLE SCHOOLER. She's TWELVE.

J@jkmiami89.bsky.social · last wk.

there literally are no good-faith concerns about trans girls participating in high school sports. it is children playing games with their friends, its about confidence and relationship-building. let kids play with their friends.

I 100% have not changed a single goddamn thing about how I write here in the age of "AI." I write how I write. If the "AI" writes anything like how I write, it's because it stole from me. I'm gonna use any punctuation I like, and if it looks "AI"ish to you, you can go fuck yourself.

Authors and journalists are doing more first-person (hello 2010s blogging) and embracing "mistakes" in writing to prove they're not chatbots. There's even an “anti-Grammarly" app that leaves in typos and signs off "sent from my iPhone" to create more authenticity: www.wired.com/story/more-t...
