Having never once touched AI, I think I would be just fine. I still don't know where to find them and no desire to look

Recently read a skeet on here that was like "It's theorized men are more vulnerable to LLMs/chatbots because women are more thoroughly socially conditioned to be instantly suspicious of fawning, complimentary, compliant attention," and. Thinkin' about that, tonight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtvI...

AI verifiers are no friends to writers. They were built from the same stolen work as every other generative AI model out there… and the damage to authors is REAL. A beefy 🧵👇
Don't look now, but the world has now installed 3TW of solar. Took 10 years to get from 100GW to 1TW. Less than 3 years to get to 2TW. Less than 2 years to get to 3TW. Analysts expect *9TW* by 2036.
The World Crossed a Major Solar Milestone. No One Noticed
The next phase of the boom may reveal a shift in who is gaining access to the technology.

They let me get a little spicy on main over *that* NYT op-ed. So without further ado…a few cents on David Ellison’s plea to the American people to let him win this round of Monopoly. Full story at the link 👇

Happy to report that if the weather holds true, beach day will be going ahead 🥳 Of course, now I'm eyeballing the tide-times because we don't want to get wet feet

I miss Our Flag Means Death so much. We weren’t queerbaited. We weren’t exploited by the writers to get just one more season. It was genuinely funny and deep and silly. The MCs were middle aged and messy and not perfect pookies..It was for US, the older queers. I want them baaaack #OFMD #neverleft

here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?
🧵 Snopes pored over hundreds of pages of documents to confirm that Anthropic bought millions of books in bulk and destructively scanned them to train its AI model.
Absolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West
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."
Gillian Branstetter@gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 3d agoAn 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

:c I'm really sorry to keep pushing these. I'm feeling so useless right now. Please buy a comm, or one of my Squizzies stickers, or an adoptable sketch. I work slowly, but I swear it's worth it. I just need help, my pirates. 🧡
Jenn overboard!@self-induljennt.bsky.social · 2mo agoI need your help, my pirates. My kid is struggling. He's doing his best to navigate life, but it's one awful thing after another and my little coin purse is dry from helping him out. I have open comms, adoptable sketches, and some stickers left. I'll even throw in freebies from my stock.
It's always funny to me that films like this are described as "twisted" when it comes to a woman finding a non-human love interest when Mannequin (film) and Pygmalion (myth) exist. (Mind you, this one is also literally twisted, because look at that beautiful wickerwork twisting in the features)
DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net · last wk.First posters for ‘WICKER’, starring Olivia Colman & Alexander Skarsgård. • A twisted love story that follows an ostracized fisherwoman who commissions a basket maker to weave her a husband. • Co-starring Peter Dinklage and Elizabeth Debicki. In theaters this October.
When someone is described as "often controversial, never boring" in 2026 it just means: full nazi but also part of the establishment.
PSA for the website glimmerfics: this company reached out to me to write for them, and essentially you feed your ideas into an AI engine that will put generative content together for CYOA fanfiction. See below for the information that I got from them on Tumblr.
The 2023 Barbie made $1.448 billion at the box office and is the 18th highest grossing movie of all time but somehow David Zaslav can't even come to a deal for a sequel. Warner Bros have until December before the Barbie rights revert to Mattel.
Ryan of the 365 Movies Hates A.I.@rme33.bsky.social · 4d agoMan, David Zaslunk has the business sense of a magic 8-ball. Imagine green-lighting Supergirl but not Barbie. He’s a perfect example of failing upwards. variety.com/2026/film/ne...
