Here's the thing, though. Reality TV as a whole is as unworthy of my time as A.I.

I fundamentally do not know how to square the politics whereby Democrats will essentially have to tell the American people that because they (the voters) made an extremely stupid decision, they need to lower their expectations substantially for the foreseeable future, but here we are.
I don’t get a lot of opportunity to share the peacock-turkey battle photo I took last year, it looked like a dinosaur showdown:
Trigger warning. If you do, or have ever had to struggle with suicidal ideation, AVOID any and all news about Perez Hilton, especially images and video. Just know he's hospitalized and getting the care he needs. Take care of yourselves out there. #PerezHilton
I have never used or even felt the need to use any AI tools, they've actually made my life more inefficient because I have to cross reference everything to ensure its neither intentionally faked by humans using AI or AI has conjured up false info out of nowhere.

I am bang in favour of neo-Nazis reforming, or of any repentant person getting a chance to do better in life. But, as a friend who works in improving life for ex prisoners says, if you were convicted for embezzlement, your redemption does not mean you're entitled to a finance job.
Hey guys, Perez Hilton performed self-harm and may have attempted a suicide on TikTok and screenshots are flying around, so if you are sensitive, go put "Perez Hilton" in your mutes right now.
A lot of people are going to try and insist in about six hours that being outspent by tens of millions of dollars and winning by five to possibly fifteen points is actually not that big of a deal

Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts are amazing even now. He animated the sequence by himself for more than four months -- without computers or even an easy way to check his work. We're looking into how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-ray-ha...

John Scalzi@scalzi.com · yesterdayNoticing some folks seem to think writers just say clever things without understanding how the world works, as if we're all naifs who just happen to be good with words instead of people with formal educations and a professional interest verging on requirement in the ability to conduct research
"Rena" sent this from Moses Lake WA where she is weeding carrots for a non-union company. She shared: The air is bad. See my cell phone. The AQI is 166, which is unhealthy. We start at 4am. We'll work 7-8 hrs & earn minimum wage. #WeFeedYou

In no particular order, TikTok, fascism, and misogyny. And some of this is absolutely a response to the era where women blogged their truth and cis straight dudes were mad this did not make them horny. Meanwhile, online magazines would pay $50 max for a personal pain expose from a femme.
New York Magazine@nymag.com · yesterdayOn social media, a broad consensus is that you can’t admit to struggle — at least not while you’re struggling. Doing so represents a failure so profound it’s almost existential. How did it become mandatory to demonstrate perpetual growth and progress online?
Writing fiction in any genre should be a purely human exercise. If you use AI to generate *any* dialog, story ideas, character shapes, *anything* creative, you're betraying the very concept of artistic expression. This is a bright flashing red line for me. www.wired.com/story/the-bi...
‘Everyone Is Doing It’: The Truth About AI in Hollywood
Puck’s Matthew Belloni says AI has quietly become part of everyday filmmaking. The battle now isn’t whether Hollywood will use the technology—it’s who controls what’ll come next.
