The AI Slop Backlash Is Actually Having an Impact

Platforms are finally recognizing that people don’t want to consume AI slop. A growing number of sites and apps now have tools and policies to flag, label, and ban AI-generated content.

Raise your hand if you have a Ricky Martin folder with old film pics in it.

Aww. Great guy. I really liked him and his black mock turtlenecks. RIP.

Don Nelson, who won five NBA championships as a player with the Boston Celtics, went on to become a Hall of Fame head coach and one of the winningest in league history, has died. He was 86.

What a massive POS.

I’m on a small-ship Alaska cruise with my son; our boat rescued a stranded vessel last night and apparently we did that after the Coast Guard radioed Mark Zuckerberg’s yacht - which was closer - and they repeatedly refused to respond. (There was near unanimous booing when the captain announced this)

@billystringsphan.bsky.social did you see this? From today’s The Daily podcast. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

“I saved you and puppy boy from a rattler, mom. Make sure you capture my best angle. Cause I’m a BFD.”

At the end of this video I say I’m glad my dog saved me from getting another $10k vet bill. Or more like vet debt. His life, obviously, the most important part of that run in. But damn thanks for the cheddar, big boy. Hooked a single dog mom up. Lol.

Puppy boy was rooting around at this spot behind this giant plant for two days. Today my big red boy joined him and jumped a foot in the air and ran to me. Then I heard the noise and snatched puppy boy so quickly. PHEW. Jesus.

I miss salads sooooo much.

The old school corporate centrist have been clinging to power with a death grip even if it costs the rest of us elections. This is why we recommend donating directly to the candidate of your choice. That way even if the DNC refuses to back popular candidates we still have a good shot at it.

The Democratic Party’s mega-donor class is horrified by the rising tide of progressive populism. Too bad. It's time they recognize the real choice is between democracy and tyranny, between an economy that works for all or one that works for a small sliver at the top.

Mamdani’s gotten more done in a short time in office than any other politician of either party. He’s not a bureaucrat he’s a doer. All for it!!

I’m not DSA even though I like what they stand for. But I’m telling you what, any moderate Dem who tries to eff anything up because they’re threatened by DSA and not the GOP, I’ll work my very hardest to primary them next time they’re up for election. Don’t tempt me, Dems. I’m a mean campaigner!

New in PN: Moderate Democrats have a choice to make "They can spend the next three months reinforcing Republican messaging about their party & making it less likely Dems take power. Or they can put the 'battle for the soul of the party' off for a while and do what they can to help their party win."

Dr. Fauci spent his life trying to save children, Trump spent his life trying to f*ck them. You’re going after the wrong guy, GOP.

Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.

derek guy@dieworkwear.bsky.social · last mo.

A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?

Trump inherited one of the strongest economies in the world, yet 33% of Americans still think he inherited a disaster. The power of right wing propaganda. #BlueWaveIn90Days

I’m getting bullied by people from my high school. I never ever want to go to my high school reunion. No one can believe I don’t want to go. Why is high school so important? When I had Facebook way back when I saw what everyone grew up to be…which is why I quit facebag + going to HS reunions.

Back at the pool for a quick late lunch break and it’s just me and the viking in the speedo.

I thought the Cybercab comment was a joke. It is not. They’re testing in Silicon Valley with drivers right now. And I guess AZ.

Hey siri, show me the hideous cousin of the Cybertruck.

I’ve read this headline about 20x. Did I have a stroke? What does it mean?

Hey siri, show me the hideous cousin of the Cybertruck.

That’s the spirit!

It’s important to understand that when 1.2 million Americans are dying from a disease, any government action is excessive and tyrannical, but if a dozen trans women want to play soccer no government action can go far enough

I’ve got to finish this Lena Dunham bio, but damn the distractions are almost better than her telling us Adam Driver had the hots for her IRL and was also extremely weird and withdrawn.

You can do a reality show just from apartment pools. So much has happened since I griped about loud talker lady with the gay boyfriend. I will say, it’s so refreshing to be around so much diversity after 20+ years in Utah. There’s 3 different languages being spoken right now.

Oh goodie. The loud talkers are at the pool today having a very personal conversation 15 feet away from each other. Everyone is quietly reading their book or floating around and they think we all want to hear their boring story. Who are these people who do this?
