AI boosters in the arts can get in the sea ✌

my fellow Americans, Donald Trump just took an AR-15 out of your family budget.

Brown University has a widget that tracks the cost of the Iran war to American consumers (as contrasted to whatever the Pentagon is spending). Per-household cost now exceeds $600. iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu

It was a good D&D night!

Monk hands Satyr a pamphlet on excessive attachment to physical things. Satyr: "Isn't it hypocritical to give me a physical thing to lecture me about attachment to physical things?" Monk: "It's compostable." Satyr: "Touché." #dnd

They keep inventing new people. I'm tired. I can't keep up

This is the point of not praying in public from the NT: you're not supposed to pray to get public credit but to express something important within you. You're not supposed to be an "ally" - you're just supposed to do the right things and let the social cred fall where it may.

“Sandwich guy case” “Harvard clawed frog embryo smuggling case” “Olympic canoeist reflecting pool vandalism case” “James Comey seashells Instagram post case” New rule: If the case sounds like a Mad Libs story, it’s probably about to implode.

I'm a full Professor of Immunology and fully vaccinated. I didn't get vaccinated out of obedience, but after decades of studying the immune system and evaluating all evidence. Calling that "lack of critical thinking" is not an argument. It's ideology masked as pretend intellect.

Claims to want to protect children Promotes something that endangers child safety on several different levels

makes sense someone eho wanted to cozy up to epstein woud say to take more creepshots.

exactly so when people roll their eyes at someone's Harry Potter fandom bullshit, that's nobody's cue to step in with whataboutism or excuses or "just let people like things" you can cling to shitty things, but then you don't get to complain when your friends walk away because of it 🤷

A PSA to my fellow cis people who are (or want to believe they are) trans allies If you are getting pushback from trans people and your reaction is to be all “no! not me! I’m one of the good ones!” please remember that “being one of the good ones” is something you DO, not something you ARE

seriously if i do or say something and one of my trans homies is like huckle thats not punk rock i take their word for it not that hard

Also please remember that the good ones never have to insist that they’re one of the good ones because like people can see what you do

this was always the outcome we were headed for and one we could've had literally 4 months ago. not only did trump lose the war he spent half a year continuing to lose it for no reason.

Shipwreck@shipwreck75.bsky.social · yesterday

All the indicators I’m seeing suggest this is the Iran‑controlled route, with a service fee attached. Trump took the loss and is now going to try to lie and spin it as a positive outcome.

every dipshit meathead I was in MMA classes with is either a cop or a bartender now, and that's honestly an insult to bartenders who aren't dipshit meatheads

He will never understand that being "the fat guy from Superbad" is infinitely better than being "the martial arts chud nobody likes"

Apple workers could have gotten $4 MILLION each over 8 years. Instead, Apple spent $650 BILLION on stock buybacks. Shareholders got rich. Workers got nothing. This isn't investment. It's theft. Tax the rich.

Sophie Cunningham is getting booed every time she touches the ball here in Minneapolis

I’m sick of Artificial Intelligence. Why not Artificial Wisdom? Artificial Charisma? you get it

artificial mana exists, it's called Baja Blast

did you know artificial charisma is an anagram of timotheé chalamet

"the voters in my district prioritized a different issue" yea, we didn't support genocide

Dan Goldman is having an argument with Ro Khanna. Goldman is alluding to why he lost his primary, but isn’t saying it directly.

can't find premium content like this on threads i'll tell you that much

My taxes are already paying for things I don't use like public schools (my kids are grown) and FEMA aid (apparently blue states don't get that anymore.) I'm a NYC resident and I'm totally fine with paying taxes so people can afford to eat.

if terfs actually gave a shit about "protecing girls", they wouldn't gleefully slam dunk genital exams on them anti-trans "feminists" are just the useful idiots of cismale predators and their old world tradwifey bullshit

I'm relentlessly anti-AI. I've said in work meetings: "AI hallucinates answers & vomits them out without concern for accuracy." "AI is a theft machine that lets the lazy & incompetent pretend they have skill". I don't pretend I'm a master of my skillset, but I'm good at my job & I WORKED for it.

I think "AI" plumpers should be happy I'm focusing mostly on the nonsense it's doing to my field, rather than how it's very clearly designed as a tool for the capture of wealth and capital by a bunch of accelerationist weirdos enthusiastically huffing their own farts from the depth of their K-holes

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

imagine being born into a family of world class creative talent and *still* not having *any* and then overcompensating for it by attacking a random creative woman on the internet like a dickhead

So I woke up this morning to find out that Ozzy Osbourne’s son made a video falsely accusing me of using AI to write a Rolling Stone article about the Tate brothers.

If he’s anti AI he should be talking to his mommy about wanting to use it for his dad’s image. Not attacking a woman for writing about sex traffickers
