It really is unnerving how much Twitter is just accounts trying to do radio rwanda but in a way that’s impossible to understand unless you understand a language of bizarre ideological shibboleths (these are not dogwhistles, because they aren’t intended to hide the bigotry)

You can do it, I walked away from way over 200,000 followers because it was exhausting seeing them get run over by bots and buttwipes all day, every day. Whatever good culture was there has diminished to a fart bubble. It makes me sad, but it's no longer worth the effort. 2/

I kinda have to seriously question anyone who still have a significant presence on twitter. Every kind thought, every nice comment by anyone is inevitably met with hate, and racism, homophobia, and more are just around the corner. Other platforms ad dicey, Twitter is just grotesque. 1/

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

I don't think JD Vance understands that, even if he loses and tries to fade out of public life, we're gonna be clowning on him for the rest of our lives The man is just too perfect a punchline

New reverse kind of FOMO where you go to a thing and find out not all the spouses are there and you could have stayed home.

they're on twitter saying Freddie Mercury "wasn't political" and "didn't make his sexuality his whole personality" THE BAND WAS NAMED QUEEN.

The co-founder of Ubisoft died in a tragic accident and the NYT somehow feels the need to spend a lengthy paragraph of the obituary debating whether having a black main character for a recent game was "DEI". Incredible work.

they’re saying that no man in human history has been less aware of what he actually looks like than Stephen Miller

Today in AI Is Not A Good Source For Learning About The World's Most Misunderstood Body Part, meet this ChatGPT gem. Funnily enough, we're actually going to talk about how most of this is kinda sorta right (for small values of right), as a cautionary tale about generative AI.

Not sure if I have this right, but as an outsider looking in, it seems that in Keir Starmer, England's richest and most misshapen op-ed writers basically got their custom designed policy portfolio and it's been an unmitigated disaster. Surely they are taking some time to meaningfully reflect on this

A bunch of fuckin money hoarders want to be the boss of all of us

lewinsky has a literal ted talk about her experience as a young woman being sexually harassed by her boss and you should check it out instead of listening to this dumbass antisemitic ahistorical bullshit

i need to reemphasize that i saw them let a guy go yesterday with a bag of weapons

*laughs nervously* what the fuck? www.wsj.com/lifestyle/fi...

Someone actually crunched the numbers, and using GenAI can decrease reviews for indie game on Steam (a useful proxy stat for sales) by as much as *58%* 🤖

every single study done on this shows that the actual best behavior is done under consistent pseudonyms and people behave worse under real names it’s counterintuitive but at this point the real names thing is willful denial of evidence

Can’t sleep? Simple methods that work: • study hurricane forecast • who hates me • what did i forget • relive supreme humiliation • win 12-yr-old argument • buried alive? could happen • what i did vs should have done • dead people i miss • what if i’m bad • why do i say stuff • what’s my fuckin deal

The fantasy of human colonization of Mars isn't just stupid, unrealistic, or a waste of resources — it's pernicious, because it actively stokes insouciance with respect to safeguarding the only planet that at least 99.99999999% of us are ever going to live on.

Waymo is recalling nearly 4,000 driverless taxis due to a software glitch that could cause them to drive directly into closed freeway construction zones without slowing down, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Episode 53: The Body Keeps The Score In 2014, a Dutch researcher revolutionized our understanding of trauma with insights like "don't talk about it" and "get a massage."

If Waffle House doesn’t make this their new slogan, then capitalism has failed

EXACTLY. I’ve said this a million times but I and the rest of the Broadview 6 are still picking up the pieces of our lives emotionally and financially. This is incredibly stressful in every way possible, and there is no guarantee for a just outcome.

I read this when i was recovering from top surgery and it made me heal perfectly. My surgeon said wow did you read anarchist porn this scar is perfect

I really do think a lot about how big tech systematically destroyed all the reasonably-safe places intended specifically for kids online…. and now powerful interests are turning around and claiming that we have to destroy Internet privacy because being online is obviously dangerous for kids.

My mayor told me new yorkers keep stealing his knicks trash cans so I asked how many knicks trask cans he has & he said he just goes to DSNY & gets a new trash can afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding knicks trash cans to new yorkers & then his police commissioner started crying.

No responsible society should've allowed any social media site to start recruiting children. The UK social media ban is abusive. The current state of affairs is abusive. I don't know which policy is worse but because adults let it get to this point, their children will never forgive them either way

Couldn't resist.

This is a sign of how culturally Protestant we remain. When someone says something bigoted, there is an attempt to find what is “really in their heart,” which is by definition radically private and unknowable, rather than simply focusing on their actions in the world.

It’s a meme stock

Well, that was a fucking ride.

Wow. @bluestein.bsky.social reports that a planned special session of Georgia's GOP-dominated legislature to further gerrymander the state's maps is now nearly "DOA" after Lt. Gov. Burt Jones lost tonight's #GAGov runoff. x.com/bluestein/st...

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

We're hearing reports that police have tear gassed a group of protesters outside the Senatobia Walmart where an officer shot and killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley.

Tim Ferriss, author of the 4-Hour Work Week and other self-help slop, is seeing his book sales crater because people are getting their advice from ChatGPT instead lmao

nobody got shot when RFK Junior was young, that's why he had such a good logn relationship with his father and uncle

The "we announced a fake peace treaty because it was the head of state's birthday" thing is pure late Roman empire.

Just checked with our team which is reviewing the indictment. As you'd expect (but obviously you want to be sure) it looks like yet another case of wild overcharging. Some chaotic protest moments that DOJ wants to make into a violent attack. Good luck getting this past a Minneapolis jury.

I feel like Bluesky needs to know that Jim Davis is auctioning off a fuckton of original Garfield art, and many of the strips are currently priced at literally ten (10) dollars You should all buy your own strips, y'all comics.ha.com/c/auction-ho...

I think every media person who has spent the last 3-4 years warning everyone that AI is a scam should, when the bubble bursts, get one billion dollars each to run our normal businesses for the next 1000 years. seems fair.

I'd make the entire thing a Warhammer 40k battlefield, complete with Imperator Class Titans and have an actual battle for Armageddon on the White House Lawn.

I would like to amend my earlier advocacy for reparations to include the need for reparations for this specifically

the office couldn't be made today because it would be eight episodes for some streaming service that would schedule the second season for three years later and then cancel it for no good reason

Calling police and Republican politicians “puppy killers” has massive potential to open the door to all kinds of positive reforms. People sympathize with this stuff more than you realize. Nobody ever said “the revenge premise in the movie John Wick is too far-fetched.”
