For two yeares yn the 1970s McDonalds hadde a verye posh versioun of the Hamburgler wyth the name Thief Wellington
It was called something like "The Legend of the Dark Knight" and had Batman's origin story + some additional canon. There may have been a cassette that came with it to help those who were still learning to read. It was from the late 70s/early 80s (I remember the art style)

This is a really cool thread, and it shows just how recent the "cooking at home for your family" thing really is. So don't let people shame you for buying and eating food prepared by other people. Even ancient Rome had fast food. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermop...

I like this notetaking example. it is a good case of how gender works. Notetaking has never been about producing a transcript. It is a bureaucratic skill in the 20th c. organixarion because it is SENSEMAKING. Those women socialized to take notes? They have been doing men’s metacognition for them
Jennifer Romig @jennifermromig.bsky.social · 4d agoNotetaking in meetings is tiny case in point - used to be some predictable social assumptions who would do it; now anyone can offer to do ”notetaking” by turning on the AI listener. Further interesting scenario is human recollection / notes (taken by habit by a person) conflict with AI summary
This is true and beautifully formulated
Tressie McMillan Cottom@tressiemcphd.bsky.social · 4d agoI realize these are all things that sex workers have told us and could tell us better. Consumer-facing AI is basically a sex worker so of course it’s personalizing various iterations of financial domination for men because that’s what they want.
I sincerely believe that men cannot handle this. women may be falling in love with their chat bots, too. But I don't think they are categorically attached to its flattery to the same degree.

𝓛𝓮𝓯𝓪𝓾𝓬𝓱𝓮𝓾𝔁@lefaucheux.bsky.social · 7d agoI think the biggest story and the more consequential reality is that 30% of the country is ride or die for a malignant narcissist whose policy on everything is “make it worse”. Nixon 2, W. Bush 2, etc. polled lower, but neither of them approached these levels of incompetence and corruption.
Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.
