honestly, i need to remember this quote. i can get so annoyed by fan theories because of the entire content economy around them and the kind of culture stoking them too much can breed, and it's important to remember that fan theorizing itself is honestly an innocent act of enthusiasm.

I keep seeing slopcels say “But I need AI for ideas!” 🥺 If you need to dry out the Susquehanna to do a storyboard, maybe you’re in the wrong job. I mean, I had to start keeping a clipboard and scrap paper on the couch because I kept getting jewelry design ideas at breakfast or Liora snuggles.

I feel like it might have been a bad idea to hand the world over to sociopaths

Abusive men aren't abusive because of testosterone, because I have a male level of testosterone in my body and I don't do that shit. It made me calmer. Abusive men are abusive because they were taught to be, and rewarded for it. By blaming T, you ignore the actual cause and its actual solutions.
@abdulelsayed.bsky.social triumphing over something like $60 million, $32-ish million of it AIPAC money, is not a "narrow" victory, it's a people's earthquake. This kind of spending is oligarchy in action, to smother democracy through its formal channels, and is getting normalized. Still he won.
Here's my Cosmo piece about how segregated bathrooms have impacted my own health www.cosmopolitan.com/lifestyle/a6...

Sandy Ernest Allen@sandyernestallen.bsky.social · 17h agoEfforts to police bathrooms are evil and will impact peoples' health. Segregated bathrooms themselves must be done away with, it's the only solution. I reported this question out, years ago for @99pi.org 99percentinvisible.org/episode/wher...
The flash in that stone is AMAZING. I did a labradorite theme for today's jewelry. I'm wearing my new earrings with the labradorite and Willow Creek jasper cabs, and my Rainbow Warrior pin. Pendant by @oishinythings.bsky.social , bracelet by @toadcialism.bsky.social , ring thrifted from Goodwill.
My new fave response to pro-AI idiots is “Let’s turn off the wifi and see you write/draw/etc”. How did these people think we functioned 3+ years ago? Fuck, how did *they* function? I’m thinking they didn’t.
Charlie Stross@cstross.bsky.social · 18h agoMy answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.
I’ve seen a lot of health care workers rightfully sharing their memories from 2020, and their anger at how their struggle is minimized. I hope that they understand this feeling of being forgotten is akin to how many high risk patients feel today, when they have to beg health care workers to mask.
I remember a coworker in her late twenties saying this on how dating was so difficult. I was not surprised by her first two complaints: general anger issues and having few outside hobbies. I WAS surprised at her mention of how many men apparently don’t wash their hair or butts.

I was in The Bronx, lived not that far from Jacobi. There were ice cream trucks parked outside the funeral home a few blocks from my building because Jacobi was so fucking overwhelmed with dead bodies.
Gabriel Bosslet@gbosslet.bsky.social · 3d agoRFK Jr said these words today on national television "There were ICUs that were empty all over the country including in New York at the height (of the pandemic)" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha You are a fucking idiot hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <sobs silently>
Had to do a double take to make sure there were no batting eyelashes. Legit saw:
"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.
Today's reminder that the current genAI boom is powered by GPUs manufactured with the mineral coltan (and other rare earths, and cobalt) mined through the labor of enslaved children in Congo, and the US and UAE fund the paramilitaries which protect those mines and keep those children enslaved.
Again, a bracing reminder that "tough on crime" conservatives are never actually concerned about being tough on CRIME. They want to be tough on PEOPLE who they want to CONTROL: non-white people, say, or in this case women. It has always been about social control, not public safety.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoNN: The abuse allegations against Rep. Max Miller -- Moreno says he should resign, but President Trump disagrees. Do you think Miller should step down? REP. JIMMY PATRONIS: No. I agree with the president. This is a family fight. Unfortunately, divorces are messy. There are two sides to every story.
