If the communion bread is truly the body of Christ why does Jesus taste so fucking stale and bland?

i really think cis people should sit and ask ourselves for a minute: how are people supposed to live like this? what would we do if informed that we just have to figure out how to coexist with coworkers who “don’t believe in” a basic part of our existence?

So uh, is this anything? 😏 #FEFW #Art

Right so the war against social science. Yes it’s ideological. It’s also a termination letter from the state saying it no longer needs legitimation. that’s the public crisis — ask yourself why it doesn’t need legitimacy.

I think a shocking number of our major societal problems would vanish overnight if you could magically pull the plug on the X platform and Meta, both of which are carefully designed to turn people into the worst version of themselves.

Making something, truly making something, is not as simple as putting in a demand/request & receiving an acceptable output. This is why I am insistent that regardless of what comes out of an LLM (an "AI") is not qualitatively good regardless of its actual content.

Mina Kimes@minakimes.bsky.social · 2w ago

I posted a joke the other day about how my kid wanted a Mickey song that didn't exist, and a bunch of people were like "just AI to make it." I understand needing to please a toddler, but man--that's just not how I want him to think about music at all. It's not a vending machine.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

every "pride" Democrat org: "For party leadership, the caucus is simply a recruitment and sales team. The job, in their eyes, is not to represent the LGBTQ+ community to the party, but to sell Democratic candidates to the LGBTQ+ community, regardless of the harm those candidates may cause."

Arienne Childrey@ari4ohio.bsky.social · 2w ago

Today, I resigned as Vice Chair of the ODP Pride Caucus. The state party expects us to be a sales team, censoring our voices when we beg candidates not to trade on trans lives. I am still a Democrat, but I will not value party approval over true, defiant advocacy. Full text below. 👇

I'm addition, it's not just to sell democrats to queers, it's to sell "democrats love queers" to cishets. it's straight up pinkwashing. rainbow flag ai-powered genocide. trans people say fuck no and we get tossed out on our asses for it. and we still say fuck no.

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

Best part of this muddled article by one of Bloomberg's money guys is that two of the charts make a compelling case that knee-jerk opposition to AI is wholly justified because technological progress doesn't increase productivity, it just enables greater income extraction by capital. Oops!

Columnist Stephen Rattner probably got screwed over by the headline writer, but I'm seriously floored at how poor a job these six charts do at showing that we need AI.

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

Edd Coates | Game UI Database@eddcoates.bsky.social · 3w ago

Yet again, the Game UI Database is being scraped to the point that it's getting knocked offline. Even Cloudflare's "I'm under attack" mode isn't working. I just wanted to create a resource for real designers. I'm getting so fucking sick of this.

I don't know what can replace it, but it simply can't be the system going forward that people who make things lose income because ten seconds of a two hour video has a copyrighted song in the background, but gAI companies can steal data to make bots to try to replace those same people's jobs

I've said it before and I'll post it again: we should embrace and deify TREMORS as much as we do JAWS.

'Tremors' Kicked Off the 1990s With the Decade's Own 'Jaws' [We Love '90s Horror]

The ‘90s often get a bad rap with horror fans. After the numerous successful slashers and creature effects films of the ’80s, the ‘90s offered a different

Hard to think of a more likable monster movie cast than the one in Tremors. It's my ideal horror-comedy hybrid, one where the jokes come from how fun the characters are rather than subverting any of the tension.

I feel like more people should be talking about this part
