the cebu blue came :)

Unfathomable

woke up just in time to see one post saying, "still too close tp call" and just one refresh later, "nbc calls it for Abdul!" so I can actually fall back asleep instead of spending the rest of the morning loathing humanity 🌈

The people have spoken 

can't decide what phrase i hate more "make it make sense" or "the math isn't mathing"

this week I've had an undercurrent of anxiety about getting to my doctor's appointment in the city on time on thursday but I think that was the same when I lived there

if you think you’d don’t know anyone with longcovid, but you don’t use any mitigation yourself, consider: yes you do, they just may not feel safe enough to tell you.

babs ✨@itsbabs.bsky.social · last yr.

longcovid is not uncommon, not prevented by vaccines, and likelihood of developing it increases with every subsequent acute infection. symptoms can range from annoying to debilitating, and impact people with marginalized identities disproportionately. prevent infection. wear a mask.

my last con ed bill is so insanely high and I have no idea what to do about it because, since I don't live in my apartment anymore, I cannot send in a proper meter reading $%^&*^%$

today i learned that young sheldon has its own spin-off there are so many mysteries in this world

If useful, here's my attempt to process my feelings about how I feel sadly kinda — or rather very — sick from all this AI fascist nonsense as an academic. 😶‍🌫️ I'd be pleased if even one person finds something useful because there's something to be said for processing this all together, so, um, enjoy?

Anxiety

Reasoning (and crying) my way through fascist AI-induced anxiety.

“i can’t believe society is like this!” -covid forgetters/post pandemic pretenders who won’t even mask for grandma, dad in chemo, and damn sure not strangers just trying to survive unmitigated airborne viruses in this post public health crisis

I don’t think I’ll end up in hell. Because people like RFK Jr are definitely going to hell, and I would be so tickled every time one of them showed up. Joy is not allowed in hell, but I would be constantly delighted. A metaphysical paradox.

😳 RFK Jr's epic CNN crashout 😳 Dana Bash pressed RFK Jr on Trump's culpability for mishandling covid and the misinformation he pushes about vaccines, and the segment wound down with him getting mad and barking at her like a rabid dog Here's the full thing:

This is 💯 entryism. He wrote a piece seemingly critical of AI, got caught & admitted to chatGPT use, but also gaslights us it's a search engine & it's useful for checking links — why not just click them? We can't be anti AI if we don't agree we see it. They did it with climate change, tobacco etc.

Holden Thorp@holdenthorp.bsky.social · 3w ago

Hi, this is Holden emerging from my Bluesky hiatus to tell everyone that when checking the links in the piece, I used ChatGPT as my search engine (does anyone use Google anymore?). The piece was written by me and edited by humans. So all the links were checked by me and again by our copyeditors.

Some tools for thinking about AI in a time when the companies making them are trying to destroy teaching and learning itself... 1/n 🧵

Isekai as a genre is exploding in popularity because it appeals to a universal desire to get hit by a truck rather than live in the 21st century.

Let’s be clear here, when scientists say mistakes were made at the start of the pandemic, we DO NOT mean that we did too much. We mean not socially distancing quickly enough, not making tests widely available, and not acknowledging COVID is airborne and distributing N95 masks to everyone.

MIAMI'S COST OF LIVING SURPASSES NYC FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

AI labs buy, scan, shred millions of rare books

If you have retreated to physical books because the internet is too full of AI slop, bad news — now they’re shredding the books to feed their AI slop machines.

I know everyone hates it, but to me this is his most relatable trait

The fact that he grabs a glue gun himself and sticks this gilded kitch to the wall in the middle of the night, whenever he’s feeling bad, is genuinely hilarious.

Just amazing how this headline gets worse with every line

just spent like an hour trying to install one of those pull out pet/baby gates and had to give up, does anyone need a pull out pet/baby gate? or two
