"This story is about Female Rage, where a woman gets angry over being horribly mistreated and abused, but eventually learns to forgive and move on and be a nurturing kind soul instead of vengeful, which would be masculine and unbecoming---" Shut up. Let women rip out their abuser's spines.
Capitalism will kill us all, but don't let it make you a goofy sellout first, sweet babies.
Noooooooooooooooooo (Meg Myers was bad enough)

Are you in a safe mental state to learn that Eddie Van Halen patented the most dudes rock patent ever?
Ok I need some applause-- all summer it's been weighing on me that I need to get my son back in school, as I can't homeschool forever, for both our sakes. I FINALLY EMAILED THE DISTRICT!! School starts Thursday so I said it wasn't urgent, but at least it's a start! I have... demands this time.
Interesting thread about how AI addiction is about the dopamine of random answers, not the sycophancy (tho I'm sure that does it for some). I'm no expert on this but I remember reading once that dopamine is more about wanting the thing than getting the thing. Random results = more wanting.
doc@docseuss.bsky.social · 2d agoNo, it's the dopamine hit of a slot machine pull. Has nothing to do with the sycophancy as much as typing in a phrase and the way the system is designed to output a quick response
I despise Substack and have previously said I will never read it (and I don't). But I will break my rule just for this eally disturbing piece of writing by Neko Case, who was / is in a band, The New Pornographers, who were supported by The Frames in 2002. nekocase.substack.com/p/in-what-fu...
IN WHAT FUCKING UNIVERSE?
This last week I was just cookin’ along minding my business when I suddenly found myself quite depressed.

If you would like to make your own music but haven't started to yet, what is the first roadblock you're encountering?
Was I too mean to the young woman on Instagram who lied about being Kate Bush's daughter to get people to listen to her music? I called it fucked up and gross to lie about that.
I work in tech, and I can tell you now - the powers that be don't care if you're mocking it or sharing ironically, or what. Sharing GenAI lop is proof of engagement for them. And they are DESPERATE for that because it keeps the money flowing. You're just ensuring it gets more investments.
Jessalyn Matthews 🏳️⚧️@hulkied.myatproto.social · 3d agoNo. I am not boosting the Peanuts AI slop, not even for a quote dunk. Charles M. Schulz’s work is the pinnacle of *human* creativity. It is an insult to human art in general if you ask the machine to plagiarize it. It’s as bad as a slur, IMO.
Scientists of the Nautilus research ship capture a Big Fin Squid on camera, at 5454m (17’800 ft) depth. This was their live reaction: 🔊 #AGoodPlace
Shih Tzu giving her all in her show that only a frog paid to see.
In French, "Je suis désolé" is nearly a homophone of "Je suis du soleil." The most straightforward translation of these phrases is "I am sorry" and "I am of the sun." But if you want to preserve their resemblance, you're better going with the pair, "My apologies" and "My Apollo, geez."
Apple charges people ~20% more than the Patreon list price and they keep the difference for themselves. They also hold the proceeds of iOS app sales for 75 days, making it impossible for creators to accurately predict earnings. They basically inserted themselves in order to rip *more* people off
Part Time Yeen@parttimeyeen.bsky.social · 6mo agoAny of you using the ios version of Patreon to support me, switch to the browser version instead, cuz the apple fees have actually taken over 3000 usd from me in the course of a year
i wish there was one single thing i could do to convince people not to spend their one wild and precious life being the worst types of reply guy
I was just thinking about how "you need to become an influencer to sell books" is ruining everything
Delilah S. Dawson@delilahsdawson.bsky.social · 5d agoI hate how what I need to do is write books, and yet I keep thinking, "Maybe if I wore increasingly weird glasses and sat in front of my taxidermy with a bubble pipe and did unhinged houseplant reviews I could go viral and sell some books." Doing the work doesn't feel like enough, some days.
After we published this interview the NYT went out of its way to try to smear us and bury it. And here we are, stronger than ever, about to hit our fundraising goal thanks to a wave of support. Trans journalism will never die. transnewsnetwork.networkforgood.com/projects/302...
Trans News Network@transnews.network · 5d agoReminder that we published an extensive interview with a former editor at The New York Times who laid out, in detail, how the paper's pushing of anti-trans bigotry was both very intentional and directed from the very top of the organization. The NYT plays a direct and major role in trans genocide:

Let me guess, the FDA will deem those tests too woke to approve for the US? The probe I experienced to dx my endometriosis was sooooo long and uncomfortable. The last thing a person with abdominal discomfort needs.
Ada Palmer@adapalmer.bsky.social · 5d agoEndometriosis takes nine years to diagnose. That’s about to change. NICE has approved two tests: a saliva test reading microRNA markers, and a gut-sensor test returning results in 45 minutes, sparing women the keyhole surgery currently needed. buff.ly/QX3jHk8 #ShareGoodNewsToo

Jeff VanderMeer@jeffvandermeer.bsky.social · 6d agoThe JCO response to Wilson's review is terrible--like a response to something JCO heard about fifth hand. Makes zero sense. And yet... all these media outlets are using it as clickbait. Terrible, offkilter, and frankly a bit batshit.
Hope people come out for the Worldcon panel "Acceptable Casualties: Military SFF's Empathy Deficit" at 1:30 on Friday, August 28. Going to be real here: this is a panel that I wrote and worked to ensure was on the schedule for @laworldcon.bsky.social. guide.lacon.org/id/8c39bae9-...

Californians who know anything about anything are so fucking fed up with Newsom.
Gil Durán@gilduran.com · 6d agoLooks like Gavin Newsom is going to bat for California Forever, the Network State "tech utopia" project backed by Marc Andreessen and other tech billionaires. 70% of local residents oppose it. But the billionaires hired Newsom's favorite lobbyist. Welcome to Sacramento. nypost.com/2026/07/29/u...
