"...fuck did i do?" if you think political change is a thing that happens on the internet you're fucking insane and your ideas are going to keep losing. yard signs don't vote, go knock doors.

informative brief thread here, to which I will only chip in "there's only the one planet and it's never been smaller so the idea that any of us have the luxury to Only Visit anybody else's calamities is due to be taken off life support any day now"

That scenario is why reportedly MBS is burning up JD Vance's phone line trying to push deescalation because if the whole thing goes to hell, it's MBS (and the rest of the GCC) that have to live in hell. The USA would only be visiting.

this is an example of what is, for me, the grimmest reality of what Sam Altman inflicted on us all: the joy of discovery is ruined now. you can't receive a thing now without at least a flicker of "wait did a person make this or did Sam's Suckerfish shit it out"

Almost as depressing as people using AI to write: People who have apparently read so little decent writing that they believe utterly commonplace tools every minimally competent writer employs are AI tells.

unfortunately, the first thing my brain does with any morsel of language is to check its scansion against the phrase "button to button" in order to ascertain whether it would be funny to sing "the hardest [whatever words you just said]" in a braying Jack White voice

just once before I die, I want the automated "we're sorry to see you go" email when I cancel a subscription service to really go for it and add "but we love to watch you leave." this would work on me btw! tell me I have a nice ass and I'll probably sign up for whatever you're selling.

say what you will about AI, always-on voice recording and auto dictation has been a game changer for my workflows. Save post and close app. Yeah Footlong meatball sub on white. No veggies. Don't toast it. Ranch and barbecue sauce. Yeah, ranch and bargecue sauce. More. More. Little more please

dude I just heard about this wild movie idea somebody had, it's like this kid right and he's really smart and he lives with his aunt and uncle and he gets bitten by a spider that gives him like powers and shit anyway I bet it's gonna be awesome

haven't seen THE ODYSSEY yet but it will take a lot to displace my #1 favorite Christopher Nolan movie, his British Batman reboot where the origin story involved Bruce Wayne getting frustrated about how poorly his neighbors sort their trash and recycling, called BATMAN RE-BINS

Aggh fugck we forgot about market competition and can never increase the price of our models without losing the entire customer base. Oh well hopefully there is another way to make back trillions of dollars

You don't have to over-explain in your work. You don't have to SHOW everything. Trust the intelligence of your audience, their ability to dream of a world bigger & more mysterious than this. Its, perhaps, enough to KNOW the boys are back in town, without telling where them wild-eye boys had been.
