If you are using ai in any other context than “forced to do so by work” you’re almost certainly a shitty person

It’s fun to see people screeching about being “locked down” when they were briefly part of the unmasked 30% of shoppers I saw at food lion for like 6 months

They never answer this question

The Nice William@nicewooliam.bsky.social · 12h ago

Genuine question, as someone who voted Hillary/Joe/kamala despite not liking their politics, when would you say is the appropriate time to ask them to start doing what their constituents want?

Please don’t take it personally if I deleted my reply I just panic so much about seeming too familiar lol

Lol mariners

Wow you’re a real dumb shithead

I gotta say someone telling me “it’s not about slavery it’s about Ivanhoe” would catch me off guard for a sec lol

Man, the Confederates had some wacky ideas about the meaning of the Civil War (you might appreciate this, @djinnandtonic.bsky.social)

seems like a perfectly good time to have the opinion “i support trans people” and not try to big brain it beyond that. always been that time

there's plenty of restaurants in this town, but the owner of the sandwich shop downtown hates me, says he's gonna kill me, and has a sign up on the wall saying that 5 cents out of every sandwich order will go towards buying bullets to shoot me with.

one thing that infuriates me so much about this shit is that they act as if the women making the allegations are being massively rewarded for their actions when in fact most of what they face for coming forward is being called liars and harassed by assholes like them

It's crazy how normal people have come to hate and long for violence against those who wish to make every aspect of our lives worse for profit while turning the planet into a drought stricken mass of fire storms.

"Why is everyone so radical" brother I've been against the death penalty my whole life but if there was a mass culling of AI company employees I'd probably just shrug and go plenty more where that came from

Why is everything so transparently evil now?

Very glad bluesky wasn’t around when Chris Tolkien weighed in on the Jackson adaptations lol

While yall are yelling “go Christopher Nolan” or “go Emily Wilson” I’m yelling “go London review of books and the profitability of art criticism outlets”

The decision of so many people to keep using X in its race-war phase has made me a bit more cynical overall about the ability to draw moral red lines. It’s beyond disappointing.

really something to see tech YouTuber types calmly discussing the latest Tesla or SpaceX business news without once mentioning Elon’s 50 Day of the Rope posts per day or his murdering 700,000+ people

Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social · last mo.

X owner Elon Musk indicates he would prioritise political violence (assassination of pro-migration politicians is the common sense meaning) over violence against "invaders" (refugees, asylum seekers, maybe ethnic minorities generally) while endorsing call for violence (killing) against both groups

Jurassic Park and raising the cooking bar from this are arguably the most impressive American achievements in the past 40 years

Discontinued Foods!@discontinuedfoods.bsky.social · 2w ago

In April 1992, the AP was delivering only the most hard-hitting food-related news about that year's slate of presidential candidates

every time you write overly defensively you should remember that you are pursuing a strategy of writing careful sentences specifically for people who demonstrably either won't or can't read them

BeijingPalmer@beijingpalmer.bsky.social · 2w ago

there is literally no amount of caveats or careful wording that will protect you from stupidity or bad faith, so you might as well say things straightforwardly and strongly to begin with.

Buddy, you’re not gonna believe this

I’m starting to think homer wasn’t even there to see the story

Shakira occupies an incredibly vital cultural place for those of us who went though puberty while having Spanish teachers who played lots of music videos in class because they didn’t care about their jobs

ive gotten much more convinced how important it is to call things what they are. look what can happen when you state the facts clearly and posit them against a clear moral background. good work can get good results. (and i think we can blame bad results on the absence of good work)

Rebecca Solnit@rebeccasolnit.bsky.social · 3w ago

The epic investigation in the New Yorker by Heidi Blake seems to have lit a fire under UK criminal justice bureaucrats, who'd messed up last time they had a chance to prosecute the Tates (including some pretty horrendous victim blaming Blake recounts). Journalism matters for justice.

You know it’s hard out there when you can’t even get a mate job in r/tuglife

I don’t want to see the fucked up raccoon anymore thanks

Thinking again about the direct line from our navy’s love of shooting drowning Japanese sailors in wwii to the zeal with which we’re murdering fisherman off South American coastlines

Please don’t kill the messenger I know it’s sad news, but the only way to get the mariners season back on track is to sacrifice jimothy

I'm getting really sick of seeing rapists just get to promote rape on TV and in the government day in and day out with no consequences or truly any reaction at all at this point

bitch I can’t fucking go piss in five states because of you, I don’t want to hear about encroachments on personal life

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett told lawmakers Tuesday that a sharp increase in threats targeting her and other justices is increasingly encroaching on their personal and family lives. https://to.pbs.org/4f1DhjZ

It's so on the nose that the pejorative for people opposing the march of progress is specifically "Luddites," because who's been less vindicated than the people who said the textile industry was being taken over by cheap, low-quality shit made by children

Hi as a queer trans man who has never left rural areas and spent a third of his life as a political and community organizer in the rural south you do not take food from the mouths of children because of the sins of the parents unless you're a fucking fascist.

Who Up Socializing Their Summit, MSW (NOT A MAN)@acabcalloway.bsky.social · 3w ago

Hi, as someone who grew up in a rural area and realistically can never return, I am fine with conditioning farm aid/highway and infra money/Medicare and Medicaid/etc on rural deNazification efforts.

Not sure if panera telling employees to use fewer gloves to cut costs is a recession indicator or a “we’ve gone way downhill in the past decade” indicator lol. And ew
