Friends who I've emailed in the past: My gmail got hacked. Don't open any invites from me.
*suspicious lobster wife* where did you get that shrimp *still confused lobster* you're never gonna believe this
"I am not complicit," "why would I deceive you," big couple weeks for really non-suspicious ways to phrase things
Realized today that another reason I bounced off of AI was that prompting doesn't feel like magic, because I was playing MUDs in telnet back in the 90s.
Yes, Democrats should capitalize on the incredibly popular anti-AI sentiment, but they have to do it without strengthening the frame of the AI proponents who want the technology to seem scarier and more effective than it actually is.
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 2d agoWith Trump unleashing insane tirades against regulating AI, Obama just urged Dems to adopt a comprehensive position on it, warning that failure to act now will be "dangerous." Trump's malevolence has given Dems a big opening. They should seize on it. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2154...
Listened to a song on repeat for a while, got big 80s film vibes, particularly E.T. Went to songmeanings dot com and everyone was like "it's about getting cheated on!" Anyway just looked up the music video.

We could all be watching a badass robot puppet fight a bunch of other puppets right now if we choose to...
Lots of rude comments but each of these items gives her a different stat boost and some of us care about gameplay

The best part of being an artist is that you can just draw whatever dumb idea comes to your head at 1am

New: Before Renée and Alex, ICE fatally shot Mexican immigrant Silverio Villegas González last fall outside Chicago in suburban Franklin Park. One year later, @domguan.bsky.social spent some time with the group of local women tending to his memorial. His family is still demanding answers:

One year on from the killing of Silverio Villegas González, a community of Franklin Park women continue the fight to keep his memory alive–through art, flowers, and “a culture of celebrating life.”

Yo. This is the union calling for a boycott. Here in America people like to say "Well I was already boycotting Starbucks!" No you were not. You were just choosing not to buy their stuff. That is not a boycott. A boycott is an organized, collective activity. "I" don't boycott: we do.
Starbucks Workers United@sbworkersunited.org · 5d agoWe have power in numbers, and we'll continue to fight for a better Starbucks. Support us by BOYCOTTING STARBUCKS until the company finalizes fair union contracts with workers! boycottstarbucks.net
Thinking about "plus they'll probably have to deal with Godzilla at some point".
yeah so we need to talk about how "screentime is bad for kids" is not really true, but "short form video on algorithm-based platforms is bad for everyone" IS true
escapedexplorer.bsky.social@escapedexplorer.bsky.social · 5d agoincredibly concerning that not one but TWO close friends, both progressive-lib-left, whom I've known for 15+ years both independently and separately said they believe Israel was behind 9/11 in the last two days the information space out there is BAD, folks. get your friends off tiktok.
I got conscripted into the candy kings army and was handed a taffy gun fitted with a lollipop bayonet and told to report here
This statement from Rowling's team is so funny because it's clear that they're fuming that they can't shut Lilly up with threats of a lawsuit the way she does with everyone in the UK.
Dr. Catherine Strickson@brigitteempire.bsky.social · 5d agoEye-wateringly stupid defence from Rowling’s team here - ‘She does not support legal actions aimed at harming transgender people.’ - Really? So that £70,000 towards the bathroom ban was by accident? The JKR Women’s Fund was made by an impersonator? At least have the spine to admit you want us dead
Me: Do you think if they hadn't recast Jenna Maroney in 30 Rock, Rachel Dratch could have played the Jenna Maroney the character evolved into over the course of the show? Taco Bell Employee at 3am: Man, I've told you. A show evolves to meet its cast. The character would have grown to her strengths
PAUL: What’s in the box? REVEREND MOTHER: Pain. [PAUL hesitantly puts his hand in the BOX, then FROWNS IN CONFUSION. He pulls out A BAGUETTE.] REVEREND MOHER: Hōn hōn,
Conceding ground on trans folks does not defuse the issue. It does not placate or appease Republicans. It just gives them license to take more rights away from more poeple. And it pisses off the base. This is a losing strategy and Talarico and others need to get their minds right.
When Dem candidates throw trans folk under the bus "for votes!", it's like they're running a race, but then they hear the other guy has a hammer, and they stop and brace for the hammer hit. No! Motherfucker keep running! It has never worked to play the hammer game! Run the fucking race!
