my mental health has been absurdly bad lately & i kinda wish we could all just put life on pause for a bit cause i simply can't do this anymore

damn kentucky feels like it got ADVANCED DARK at night i can't see a thing in this state lmao

The Iran War is costing $11,000 per SECOND but tell me again how we can't afford healthcare. We're literally spending a billion dollars per day on murdering children but I'm supposed to believe we can't fix homelessness.

yup, as i keep saying, no technical feature alone is going to fix what's fundamentally an organizational / governance issue.

TIL the term limerence and it's got me rethinking a whole lot of things

it's kinda wild seeing things i wrote a paper speculating about becoming reality (i just didn't think it would happen so quickly)

you were pokemon going to panopticon dystopia, whether you realized it or not

*looks directly at the camera*

i just can't stop crying, it's all just too much

seriously can't work on any of these things when we're killing so many innocent people how are we to live like this

seeing younger gen z / gen alpha kids nostalgic for my teen years is such a trip, like y'all got me missing that shit too 😭

the amount of raw misinformation on twitter is a sight to behold, and the lack of meaningful information on bluesky is not helping either

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

i keep napping and wondering when i'll finally wake up

this is a terrible time to go on a cross-country drive 💀

you know what i just realized? of my close friends, no one currently has a full-time 9-to-5 job right now.

I wonder if Claude would be “anxious” because the military is using it to bomb schoolgirls or because it’s poisoning the air around data centers or because it’s going to crash the economy or because it’s encouraged thousands of psychotic delusions or all of the above

we're so close to blaming the war on AI becoming sentient i can feel it

I had a conversation once with someone who didn't think Asian women were oppressed because they (we?) were desired so much, and I was so taken aback. The same has been happening for trans folks -- fetishization is another form of objectification, a desire for control and ownership.

I'm so so close to logging back into my Facebook after nearly a decade of being off it, that's how bad social media feels right now

these grifts are so fucking frustrating because you can also see them a mile away and yet they continue to secure so much funding meanwhile people are starving on the street on the daily like come on

recently i learned that facebook no longer shows you only content from your friends, which like, huh?? wasn't that the whole point of it? 😭 do we seriously not have private friend-only spaces other than like, instagram circles??

Real question, how come instead of trying out another technical approach or state-owned service, we don't have a social media co-op that's actually designed with the needs of people first? Like, why haven't we tried out different models of social media governance?

this some weird shit to say in public. what do y'all say about us in private?

boosting this again in case folks have recommendations across this region! so far the only thing we've got on here is the bass pro shop pyramid 😂

ok but my question is who fired noem and can they uhh fire some more people

I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. ♥️

OpenAI and…the United States Military…are teaming up to notify YOU that your son has been KILLED IN ACTION. Click here to speak with your son via AI one last time

our program doesn't have comp exams per-se, but in our equivalent, my topics were: 1. identity on the internet 2. facial recognition technologies 3. race and technology with particular focus on physiognomic ai, fairness/bias/oppression, and asian racial formation

this world is just so fucking terrible

This site really does feel like it’s trying to speedrun Twitter 2 to becoming X 2 and I hate every second

i kinda wanna start attending things as a vtuber

The international boycott of ChatGPT has absolutely exploded. 2.5M people have already joined, and this is just the beginning. Go to quitgpt.org. Cancel your subscription, delete your account. And tell at least one person why. My op-ed: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

like, pierce the veil, sleeping with sirens, chiodos, dance gavin dance, a day to remember, all in one place???? ARE THEY GONNA BRING OUT ISLES & GLACIERS??? I WOULD LOSE MY MIND

i-- i need more mutuals to FREAK OUT about the aftershock festival lineup

TIL that Virginia extends more West than West Virginia

how do we find sustainable happiness?

these people are destroying the world and all we can do is watch

i'm depression spiraling so hard, phew, i don't even know what i can do to bounce back

today has just been a really weird day, but it also feels like a turning point in some ways. kinda helpful in re-evaluating my needs, my frustrations, and what to stay away from as a step towards figuring out where to spend my energy

I just saw a few clips of the Rookie episode with the Dropout team, and I'm beyond disappointed by it. I had hopes it would be some sort of reversal or fake-out, but instead not only was I presented with copaganda, the actors played caricatures of themselves that in my opinion was highly demeaning?

sonic if he was muslim: gotta go fast

remember when i used to tweet a ton about being depressed? i might feel the need to do that again (😭)

i still haven't shaken this self-centered delusion that i was meant to do more with this life

i hate that this website functions in such a way that posting constantly is what correlates the most to engagement, cause i see so much of the most inane, chronically online content as a result

"boy kibble" is just gyudon and americans just long for the superior asian diet

this AI generated colson whitehead is taking me outttt (especially as someone who studies race and face-based AI)

I've talked about wanting to make a better social media site for quite a while, and folks have wondered what features it would have. Here's a first draft at some of the ideas for Quilt, a consentful, safe, and joyful social media site that doesn't exist: blog.wellssanto.com/i-want-to-ma...
