One thing that makes you feel like you’re losing your grip on reality is constantly having to hear about the genius and brilliance of various Silicon Valley types while also reading headlines about how their businesses are losing sums of money so large that it’s almost impossible to comprehend

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

This is her happy face

They're trying to make an example out of us in Minneapolis, failing miserably, and I hope they all go back to their little hotel rooms and cry in the shower

When someone tells you children’s programming in their day was nonpolitical, they are really saying they weren’t a very bright child.

okay, what are “we” going to do about it, United States Senator Adam Schiff?

“The universe is a dark place. I’m trying to make it brighter before I die.” - Thane Krios, Mass Effect 2 Posting something cute to avoid going insane today.

All the pundits who were outraged at kids missing school in the early days of the COVID pandemic are welcome to speak up ANY TIME NOW

Re ICE actrocities in MN, I’ve already said that lately I feel consistently angrier than I’ve ever felt in my long life. But I also feel absolutely heartsick. That poor little 5-year old baby kidnapped, imagining how scared he was… I know many of you feel the same. Love and solidarity to you.

The cognitive dissonance of constantly reading that I need to spend some time mastering generative AI while not knowing a single person in my industry who uses it to do good work 🤙

CONTINUE TELLING EVERYONE YOU KNOW THAT AI IS THE STUPIDEST SHIT EVER IT IS WORKING CONTINUE TO MAKE ART YOURSELF CONTINUE TO WRITE THINGS THAT INSPIRE YOU THE WHOLE POINT OF BEING ALIVE IS TO CREATE COOL SHIT AI STRIPS US OF THE POINT OF BEING HUMAN

surely all of those puritanical payment processors that have been trying to gut sites like OF or even itch dot io over explicit material have some feelings about this right? right??

He has it so rough.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

just scrolled past six different screenshots of tweets pointing out how bad those tweets are. please stop asking me to smell the spoiled milk.

We are in a very tight spot - more so than when I originally posted this. This week is the last week bf will receive unemployment benefits which will cut out already tiny income by over 50%. A family of five surviving on $500/month is impossible and there's not much left to cut in the budget.

Unfortunately I’ve learned this lesson many times in adulthood. Y’all, if you’ve been diagnosed with MDD or a similar brain chemistry issue, don’t fuck with your mental health meds. If you feel “fine” it’s because the fucking meds work and you need to be on that dosage 🫠🫠

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

I can't believe the winner of the FIFA Peace Prize would do this.

waking up and immediately being like what the fuck

This seems unnecessary

A real news outlet publishing the phrase "Grok apologized" should result in like a week-long timeout. Think about what you've done.

Can’t see what could go wrong with the chatbot that tells people to kill themselves also pushing DraftKings

I'm getting to the point that my teeth are so fucked I can taste mild iron in my mouth and before I can get a crown done on a tooth I fucked years ago, I will require the fillings and repair first. Please help if you can 🙏 ilyall

Another way AI leads to suicide is that hearing people talk about it makes you want to jump into a jet engine

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

Family asking me why I am angry about AI art is just so fun. Listen, you aren’t going to find someone more angry about AI art than ARTISTS.

'Cause I'm dying to live And I'm sick from the noise I'll make my way through all that I have to 'Cause I'm dying to live And I've been through the void And I'll celebrate the fact that I have proof youtu.be/Fb3eMRLhdZg?...

whenever some rich tech asshole is like “we all must leave california because it’s about to turn into a hell hole!” I cross my fingers they’ll be right so I can afford to buy a house.

SELL IT TO WHO, BEN?? FUCKING PUMAMAN??

My neighbor is a nurse who sees a lot of death and frequently comes home from her overnight shifts wrecked with trauma and I just think our health care workers need more support because they can’t be expected to carry all this while they all have PTSD from the pandemic Why can’t we help them

You can't spell SURVIVES THE HOLIDAYS without SSRIs

I guess it's nice that all the teams in Kansas City don't have to threaten to abandon their fans in order to extort state governments into sweetheart stadium deals

so it is christmas and it’s rough out there rn for most so if you’re able to help out in the slightest way pls do so. drop your links and maybe someone will shoot you a few bucks or buy you something. like secret santa kind of. xo.

Not a bad way to spend the afternoon

Before MS took my dad's mobility completely, he'd get fatigued and spastic walking long distances, like in an airport. Fuck all the way off with ableist, fascist bullshit.

I think a lot of the discussion around AI isn't specific enough or informed enough, and that's why this piece from @edmondtran.bsky.social is so useful and important. These are actual concept artists spelling out in clear, unambiguous terms why Gen-AI is not only unhelpful, it's a nuisance.

Strippers are now the No. 1 donor of toys to children's hospital in Portland. This year, they broke their own record raising over $183,000 for Doernbecher Children’s Hospital having a successful Tata for Toys once again.

Quick, somebody reboot Amazon. #NBACup

My hero of 2025

I’m still owed the settlement money for the book of mine Open AI plagiarized — the book I wrote while raising two babies

I am so furious at YouTube for doing this. You have literal gambling ads plastered across your website. The video you take action on contains no real gambling, and is promoting an LGBTQ+ children's charity fundraiser. Absolutely horrendous image and optics for the website. Completely moronic

no idea

bugs bunny was literally the first guy in drag i ever saw but ok
