"Why can't you just appreciate how revolutionary the job-taking, environment-degrading, information-shredding, technology-hoarding, economy-swamping machine is?" My brother in Christ, there may indeed be a revolution in part because of "AI," but it might not be the one you wanted.

Aside from the fucked up morality of it all, is it not TRANSPARENTLY obvious that people who want to train children to submit to invasive bodily testing are people who should never have access to children? This FEELS obvious to me.

Met up with the apartment manager, submitted the last of the paperwork, she says it may take until September 1 until I can move in and I just I do not know how I am supposed to do a month of this

Perez Hilton live-streamed himself engaging in self-harm and clips of it are now circulating on social media.

I keep bringing up that one huge reason oligarchs love the algorithmic impostors is that they know how few artists actually agree with them, and they want to hijack our art STYLES to churn out propaganda we'd never agree to make.

"This story is about Female Rage, where a woman gets angry over being horribly mistreated and abused, but eventually learns to forgive and move on and be a nurturing kind soul instead of vengeful, which would be masculine and unbecoming---" Shut up. Let women rip out their abuser's spines.

My favorite niche objection to AI is that it's DISincentivizing people to take software updates, which leaves them without important security patches. Previously, we had actually been making progress! Apple liked to bundle new emojis with updates so people were like, ooh, I want to type a burrito!

Ahem. I am looking for some book reccs for a friend of mine - early 20s male, autistic person - who is having a really hard time finding modern fantasy that isn't also at least partially romanstacy, which he cannot. Epic Tolkien is his bag, really, but he is seeking new stuff. Pls share for reach!

All right, gonna do it, one like, one answers

It's fine not to have expertise in something, but that's not the same thing as experts in that thing not existing at all.

i don't have anything clever to add about the hwa mess but i did peek over at the facebook wasteland where the author posted this, uh, defense. we're all bullies, because it's the wild west, and see we're all proving her point, and who really understands ai, fuckin magnets how do they work amirite?

Books and information access in general specifically as a screener user, so much more of it, like the difference is truly wild

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

Cars are so much better. They're so much more durable, they get vastly better gas mileage, and most of all, they are SO MUCH SAFER.

I have one answer.

It's Tuesday afternoon, the toddler's asleep and there are good ebooks on sale! All links to Amazon and Bookshop are affiliate links, other links are not. Affiliate links = I get a small cut of the retailers' profits. Bookshop is my favorite where it's an option! They may be on sale other places!

This book is excellent.

This is so hard and one big reason I haven’t tried to figure this out for myself the way I want to.

i don't think papers should have opinion sections anymore, they clearly cannot be trusted to use them responsibly

Text from yet another new number from him today which simply ask if I wanted to fuck, bro I have Blocked every single number/email you have contacted me with for the last over a decade. What the fuck do you think?

D is tired, but there is coffee@grrlintersect.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Would simply like one dollar for every time the stalker has tried to contact me over the last 15 years, I would have house buying money. Yes, it has been three times today, this especially terrible day for that bullshit

Neko Case forever. Obviously, the Ryan Adams parts were widely known; we let go of him ages ago. What she says about the recently deceased, I'd not heard before. Good on Neko for speaking her truth. (Content notice: She brings up her SA history in this.) nekocase.substack.com/p/in-what-fu...

IN WHAT FUCKING UNIVERSE?

This last week I was just cookin’ along minding my business when I suddenly found myself quite depressed.

There will always be people I bar from my communities, but the threshold is "are you doing real harm to the people within the community or the community's ability to thrive" Bring back just pettily disliking folks because you don't like them, without it having to be deeper than that or acted on. 😂

I don’t like a lot of people and if you ever ask me if I like you, I will tell you. But whether I like you has nothing to do with whether I will support you in having the basic necessities of life and dignity. Nor should it.

I mean, all cheese is good cheese but goat cheese is particularly good cheese if you’re just having cheese, cheddar and pepper jack if you’re having cheese on a thing.

People on Bluesky sigh and talk about The Discourse as if it were something required of them instead of something they opt to partake in, day in and day out. You really don't have to. Post about your favorite cheese

I am not yet 38 but I do have glass ankles, and I really ought to do this more. I had sprained them a total of six times they were really not designed well.

Tressie McMillan Cottom@tressiemcphd.bsky.social · 4d ago

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.

Great article, and also fuck this shit. Imagine thinking that "sure, one option to upending your life to take a test we could not administer is that you should just take the bar exam in February" is a remotely reasonable remedy.

9/x The next major challenge to queer marriage bans was another state case, this time in Hawaii. The Hawaiian state constitution had been interpreted as more protective against sex discrimination than the federal, so organizers had high hopes. And their hopes were realized ... before being dashed.

Folks I won’t tell you not to feel your feelings, but this is rage bait. He’s talking about expanding beyond politics into things like live sports.

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
