I don't use "ai" in my job, but it would be a breath of fresh air to not have to deal with "ai" generated feature mockups, emails, bug analyses, etc. from my boss's boss
I have one answer.

I and many of my friends stream on Twitch. I say, *absolutely the fuck not*. Friends who stream on Twitch, there is a comment thread here where you can make your voices heard: twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92338... This is the *least* they can do.

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

Yesterday I got an email that Spectrum increased my internet speeds. Since then they've called me to report two separate outages. Service had been largely stable for months prior to this. Spectrum: we have increased your speeds, pray we do not increase them further 🙃
Just gonna say, as the author of the 2021 report, I stand by every single thing I wrote
center for american progress (2021): "Trans inclusive policies "which allow transgender athletes to compete in accordance with their gender identity, should be implemented nationwide." Center for american progress in (2026): "restrictions may be appropriate under some circumstances"

I soft released a rom hack, Zelda 2: One Mind, on the Z2 speedrunning discord. I plan to get it on some of the hacking sites after SGDQ. If you've ever wanted to make zelda 2 more difficult by playing with a friend, this is the hack for you.
Gotta say, one of my favorite things about this app is seeing authors whose books I love post (and repost) pro trans messages and also trans memes 🏳️⚧️ 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵 🏳️⚧️

LaTeX is great. I learned it in my intro to proofs math class that also served as a composition credit (and ended up writing a paper for the class about solving Pell's equation with continued fractions). I don't have a lot of reason to use it now, but do use LaTeX for my resume.

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

Made this a little more RTA viable :) (ignore the numbers before exiting the menu, my saves are on a practice hack and ATB shows when pressing Y)
Now that the government’s persecution of trans people has gone beyond sports and medicine for teens, where are all the people who insisted they weren’t "anti-trans" but just had some “reasonable concerns"? www.readtpa.com/p/reasonable...
Reasonable Concerns
The wedge on trans people moved exactly where we said it would. The people who gave it cover are still quiet.

My god, they aren't targeting trans people just to get at other people. They are targeting trans people to target trans people. And they are targeting other people. We don't just exist as a warning for the rest of you, fuck me.
