Somehow things that would have been a background gag in a Verhoeven movie are now just real

Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying

It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs, writes our t...

First, you tell me to get a hobby; now it's an “appropriate hobby”.

What in the Islamophobia are you talking about? Islamic doctrine? It’s the United States Linda. Get a grip.

When you get two cats, how do they decide which one will have a tiny chirp like a pixie’s doorbell and which one will wail like the ghost of a jilted bride?

It's not Wednesday at noon. Why were tornado alarms going off near Buckley?

I have an errand I really need to run about ordering flooring, but Murphy is curled up into my side and Aoife is curled up between my feet and how am I supposed to do anything in these conditions?!

The WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.

Cheryl Reeve’s shirt today:

I had just taken s bit when Goodman said "Tyler Tolbert" and I heard "Tyler Colvin" and somehow it was 2012 again.

let's take a moment also to celebrate the first absolute meatball down the middle getting fucking crushed. the first woman in pro baseball league history to get her shit rocked

and Denae Benites hits the first home run in Women's Pro Baseball League history!

I put overflow books in my empty China cabinet temporarily and now I just want to leave my China and crystal packed up because this looks fantastic.

This Hunter Goodman is pretty good at hitting the long ball.

Same I don’t mind them coming here, and wasting all my time

Stop the War on Cars. Stop taking our parking spots away.

I sincerely believe that men cannot handle this. women may be falling in love with their chat bots, too. But I don't think they are categorically attached to its flattery to the same degree.

YouTuber Hank Green Admits He Has Unhealthy Relationship With AI After Facing Backlash Over Recent Video 'The level of dopamine I've been getting from interacting with LLMs is not healthy for me,' said Green

Seriously, do this. Do toe yoga. Do arch drops/raises to strengthen your arch and tibia. Do calf raises. Wear toe separators around the house while doing chores. Rehabbing a dropped arch is excruciating. These are quick and easy exercises and they will save you so much pain later on.

If you are 38 years old or older, I want you to start working on your foot strength and ankle mobility. Unless I hate you. Then I want you to rest for ten years and then suddenly try to hop off a step one day, cold.

The only creative industry that is inarguably both doing well and doing great work right now is "new baseball guy names."

Jhomnardo Reyes is going to the Orioles for Dean Kremer, per source.

In the last week Mickey Moniak passed Kris Bryant in plate appearances as a Rockie

I'm going to beat @nexton9news.bsky.social to Good News Friday. The flooding issue this week at my house was a insurance-covered event, so I'm not on the hook for all of that mess! This is a huge weight off my neck, which seems to be where all my tension is. Anyway, look at this precious angel.

Had my first (2nd? Does it count that the first was drug-assissted?) panic attack tonight. It turns out that it's really fucking hard to take deep breaths when they just keep making you burp because that's what happens when you're stressed now. So that ruined a perfectly good nap.

putting aside the destruction of rare books, how is digitizing a copyrighted text "transformative" for anthropic but the internet archive is guilty of infringement for the national emergency library

This is ... horrific

This is not how you respond to a person criticizing your continued use of a platform that continues to demonize a their small minority as a genocidal campaign is carried out against them. Would this even be a question if the NYT was blatantly anti-Black? Anti-Semitic? Islamaphobic? (lol)

Ken Jennings@kenjennings.bsky.social · 6d ago

This may be true of others but I actually got express permission from the trans community to keep NYT games and recipes. I also have a news subscription, which is arguably worse, so I had to specifically send in a written request. Took 30 days but I got approved.

Murphy would be a lot less frustrated right now if he actually paid attention when I pointed at something and said his name. Now he's looking for a spider under furniture that long since abandoned that space and I have no answers for him because I went and did something else for a bit.

What people really fail to recognize about the last few GOP gubernatorial nominations in Colorado is how they've been influenced by unaffiliated voters. Open primaries changed the whole game. More than 50% of Colorado voters are unaffiliated and can choose to vote the GOP ballot in the primary.

Kyle Clark@kylec.bsky.social · last wk.

Colorado GOP Gov candidate Victor Marx says God has given him a "gift" to uncover people's demons and rid them of evil spirits through a specialized prayer. Marx says you, too, can learn how to do it. The eight-part course is $99. www.9news.com/article/news...

It's really a shame today kids don't have these to go to

5 years ago today, Emerson knew he was home. I promise, I was smiling on the inside, content in the knowledge that I had just found a new roommate and that we were going to get along quite well together.

My first floor is a balmy 72° while my bedroom on the second floor is 85° with three dehumidifiers running, which is almost warm enough for Taylor Lorenzen. I might be sleeping in the recliner tonight, at least until my neck insists I sleep on my side and I have to move to the couch.
