PDX folks: Costco pharmacies have the new 2026-2027 #nuvoxavid (formerly #novavax) vaccines in stock. Go git it in you!
PETE HEGSETH AT THE NEO NURENBERG TRIALS OF 2029: The president had made a formal request to intercept drug dealers before they hit the US border, so that request already means that I needed to execute strikes on either foreign territory or international waters. NATHAN FIELDER: okay.
Of course the second I make any money I start looking at graphic tees. I am also twelve now.
I know everything sucks and we're in terrible existential danger, but if you come into my inbox with a bunch of doomer bullshit on a Saturday morning, I am u n s u b s c r i b i n g from your damn Substack.
Your wordle streak is not worth a genocide.
Trans News Network@transnews.network · last mo."If trans people want a boycott of The New York Times, where's the call to do so?" Here is a declaration laying out how the NYT is a key driver of trans genocide, why boycotts work and why anyone who gives a damn about trans lives and rights must boycott The New York Times.
she's just like me for real

If you put “Meta uses Bowie’s ‘Five Years’ in an ad about AI” into a work of parody you’d be considered to be laying it on a little thick:
Meta launched a new AI optimism ad set to a song about human extinction | TechCrunch
David Bowie's song "Five Years," which Meta used in a supposedly inspiring advertisement, is about humans learning that they have five years left to live before the apocalypse.

what’s the Odyssey about? I’m so glad you asked
The punks were always right but you can't discount the soul and funk of the 60's and 70's. It wasn't all dance and love songs. Maybe listen to Marvin Gaye for starters but also find the black artists that didn't make it to radio. THEY spoke the truth.
I realize the irony of saying this as a publishing person, but making art into nothing more than production-focused makes us incapable of growth as individuals and unable to envision transformation artistically and societally.
Atara Blake@strangeisthenight.bsky.social · 3mo agoIn this thread nobody asked for, my semi-coherent solution (perhaps not practically, but spiritually) to The AI Problem. AI is tempting because it offers a bridge across the intolerable "gap" between skill and taste. To subvert it, we need to 'get weird with it' and celebrate "bad" art. (0/)

Scott MacFarlane@macfarlanenews.bsky.social · 3mo agoImportant statement from the New York Times
There's a part in the book "Careless People" where the author beats Zuck at Settlers of Catan, and he is absolutely wrecked by it. Someone pulls her aside to explain everyone else has been letting him win for years. I think about this a lot re: why tech bros think everyone will love AI chatbots.
Julian Sanchez@normative.bsky.social · 3mo agoPeople who spiral out overusing LLM chatbots are really just experiencing the kind of brain-damaging stream of unconditional validation that’s always been the norm for the hyper-wealthy, which explains a lot.
Thank you so much for all of your happy birthday wishes. Honestly, I don’t really feel 100. I feel pretty good. I feel like I’m only 98!
Older lady peeped the rainbow flag on my bike, asked in a thick Russian accent “It’s your Pride?” She told me her youngest grandchild is “not she berry or he berry but no berry.” I said “Nonbinary?” She got so excited. Yes! Yes! And “Is a secret, but they are my“ *looks around, whispers* “favorite.”
