Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying

It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs, writes our t...

It sucks that the next Democratic Administration will have to jail at least 500 Trump officials on top of actually governing, but those are the stakes. Anybody not willing to chew gum and walk at the same time need not apply.

Trump was photographed with toilet paper on his shoe twice in his first term. That might seem normal, we've all had this happen at airports, etc. But do you think The President is just shitting in shared bathrooms? If he stepped on toilet paper he threw it on the ground himself.

Trump is mad that Regime Change books talks about his disgusting bathroom, so we should talk about it more, even though it's totally gross (via @swin24.bsky.social ) zeteo.com/p/trump-the-...

Never change, NYT, you trash paper. The paper would never ask if a "moderate" (i.e. conservative/GOP-Lite) Democratic candidate's views will hurt them. Also, she won "despite" her views? Have you considered that she won because of them?

This is Chootie. He looks like a dog, but from one of those 15th century paintings done by someone who had only ever heard about dogs. 12/10 (IG: chootieboy)

a very fluffy white creature with light brown markings on its back and ears is resting flat on some concrete tiles with a body like a slightly inflated bearskin rug. his legs and tail are merely puffy nubs, but his front paws are completely shaved for hygiene purposes, giving him the grabby-hands look of a feral raccoon. his face is an exuberant expression, with all his features slightly too close together, including his mismatched and somewhat human brown and blue eyes. he is simultaneously ridiculous and delightful.

Those are not the same expressions. And this is Apple's idealized demo of this slop. The fucking fence in the background isn't even straight in the "improved" version.

PSA: if (like me) you've been holding out cancelling Paramount+ because you really want to catch up on Star Trek, they'll offer a free month if you cancel and then you can just cancel again.
