anyway, if anyone has a lead on jobs for a science journalist/writer who has been a planetarium director (meaning I can talk to the public), please let me know. I am *awfully* broke.
I think if I see one more post about "AI" right now I will scream and that will get me ejected from the library
hi friends and enemies and frenemies and eniends, I'm not really here but just wanted to check in
welp didn't get paid in July either. My most reliable clients both just ... didn't pay me. I have no idea what to do anymore.
Similarly, if a random citizen at your daughter's soccer game wanted to check the genitals of the kids playing, you would call the fucking cops, and rightly so. Stop debating these people and call them out for what they are -- creepy perverts, freaky busybodies and utter hypocrites.
Jessica Valenti@jessicavalenti.bsky.social · 5d agoWhat's the difference between a landlord who sneaks into your apartment to rifle through your underwear drawer and an AG who sues for your abortion records? The state health director keeping a spreadsheet of women’s periods isn’t any less creepy than the abusive ex who still tracks your location.
O’Neal helped purge me & all the other Black full-time staff columnists at the Post Opinion Section. I challenged his move to fire me in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk killing. And he testified against me in June. We are expecting an arbitration ruling soon. Convenient time for him to quit.

To be quite honest, Im not surprised that the EIC of the Economist comes up with this convoluted euphemistic way to talk about Musk's open White supremacist ideologies, Nazi salutes, and eugenics That has always been a magazine that conflates being rich with being good, just and moral.
Nitish Pahwa@nitishpahwa.com · 5d agothat being said, seems fitting she can't even bring herself to use the word "racist"
bsky needs an option to not only block and report "AI" bot accounts, but punch the creator in the nards
Have you ever noticed that most of the major AI company logos look like buttholes? For my Sick Burns Friday post, I judged and ranked each of them based on how much they resemble hole: www.burnsnotice.com/ai-company-l...

If you believe your own rights & liberty are non-negotiable then you know that you’re an audacious asshole, like, a real piece of shit, if you find yourself willing to negotiate the rights & liberty of others.
all the fucking people who say "I'm not like those BAD PEOPLE who use AI for writing, I only use it to brainstorm or find sources or organize my notes!" as though the program makes any distinction. It's still thieving from others, and then you're giving OpenAI or whoever your own ideas for free!

This is VERY bad. Congressional investigation immediately. They’re trying to use Palantir to figure out who you voted for. 0% chance this ends well. Stop it ASAP.

Anise K. Strong@anisekstrong.bsky.social · 5d agoA long while ago, I wrote a pretty good piece on O Brother, Where Are Thou?, lies, & Oz. It was rejected on the explicit grounds that Real Classicists had no interest in engaging with "low-brow shallow comedy". Anyhow, at this moment of #Odyssey reception, here it is. medium.com/@anisestrong...
Why so serious? Today I surprised a group of young New Yorkers working at the CityArts Bronx mural project for the summer. Their task? Giving the Bronx's famous Joker Stairs a new chapter as the Shakespeare steps.
