The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

I like bluesky because it feels so much like tumblr 1. barely works 2. userbase is annoying (affectionate)(not that affectionate) 3. being queer on here feels like I’m actively participating in ruining some tech company’s investment

It, again, truly doesn't matter whether vibecoding actually caused the outages or not - when you start bragging about how claude is making every engineer on staff more productive and the site goes through months of persistent downtime, that's a Statement.

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.

Being emotionally regulated makes being even in proximity to the fandoms of things I like so fucking embarrassing. A lot of y'all need to get a grip and log off.

My most Luddite opinion is restaurants should always have physical menus.

Google’s AI Overviews are providing “tens of millions of wrong answers … every hour — and hundreds of thousands every minute.” wow, i love the AI future!

you do not have to hand it to tucker carlson or marjorie taylor greene or alex jones or megyn kelly. they're all rats who see trump as a sinking ship and they're getting ready to jump in preparation for their next act. you do not have to fall for it.

Struggling with the work/WW3 balance.

so AI is supposed to revolutionize every single aspect of the reality as we know it, but it's something we shouldn't rely on for anything serious or important cause it's so fucking unreliable, do I get that right my dude ?

This Boots was made for biting and that's just what she'll do.

Sudden puppy acquisition. Her name is Boots.

Never buying any book by this fucking clown. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I haven't done calligraphy work since my brewery days but I'm going all in on crafts for my dnd players and it's been such a goddamn delight 🥹✨️ custom herb lists for druids, handmade maps, custom envelopes full of secrets. Go forth and make cool shit y'all

This sucks. Readers need to get over "writers" using the plagiarism machine that does not credit who it steals from and writers should acknowledge that other "writers" are using it but the author is upset about insufficient credit for an article he didn't write? Beyond parody.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility. I know trans people and I know fascists who are making life difficult for trans people. The trans people are pretty cool and I'm glad I know them. The fascists can go fall down a deep dark hole.

this is turning out to be one of the onion's all-time classics

“We’re “”just”” using ai for concepts but then meticulously following its orders by hand” is just production cuckoldry, you’re cucking yourselves

“In recent months, more and more administrative reports centered on LLM-related issues, and editors were being overwhelmed.”

"I rest and yet my heart is still pounding. Standing on the quiet pool deck, I drink deeply - cool water running down my throat, the feeling spreading through my chest." Reviews are in for today's writing and uhhhh... yeah, sounds about right holding-hands-in-hell.ghost.io/mizu/

Got so insecure about posting my writing that I made an entire homebrew dnd campaign so I could say I was still writing while not having to publish anything. Gotta love productive avoidance o(╥﹏╥)o

Seeing people say AI is a tool that helps "working class people become writers" and its such bullshit. The process of learning and skill sharpening is labour, and its telling that there is work to be glamorized (being perceived as a Writer) and labour beneath people (learning to write)

I know I'm not the first person to say this, but if you want books about wizards and dragons and magic, Ursula LeGuin's Earthsea novels are *right there* and they have about a million times more heart and beauty in them than anything JKR could ever write.

Please join me for a rousing round of: lol, get fucked aftermath.site/sora-shutdown-...

Next week there will be another existential boogeyman designed to discourage you from pursuing art. There will always be a mosquito in your ear trying to convince you your creativity has no value. Let this Sora situation be a lesson. Stop getting pushed around by scammers. Make art

I’ve started investing in stocks: beef, chicken, and vegetable. Someday, I hope I’ll be a bouillonaire.

The radical leftist ideas they hate are that we treat people based on how they mistreat others instead of where they were born

I fear we’re gonna get a lot of mileage out of this Barret meme.

"How does one hate a country, or love one?" Ursula Le Guin always out there expressing my exact feelings in trying times.

Average Noah W tbh

there's only one good streamer and he's a bald 37 year old from vancouver

We’ve lost all concept of this, but government services are not supposed to be profit making enterprises. government services are not publicly traded corporations. They are, and I can’t stress this enough, government services

the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do

I don't really feel like the press coverage of the metaverse implosion honestly captures the access tech press' role in propping up Mark Zuckerberg's fake innovation mythology if you go back and read "journalism" from this era, 97% was indistinguishable from advertorial

So uh, we should probably have a systematic public review of every single police force in this province www.cp24.com/local/toront...

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Guy who made 800 million dollars selling a website named ToodleCo to Yahoo in 1996 and has done nothing since then but now has $100 billion: the concept of “human kindness” was invented by bolshevik psychologists in 1953, no one heard of that term until then Podcast Host: fascinating, I have worms

It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.

Polymarket, Kalshi and all the rest of these prediction markets need to be wiped off the face of the earth. They provide absolutely nothing of value and are corrupting everything they touch.

i don’t know how this is supposed to work in terms of intelligence but whatever these guys do is taking stuff that is not theirs to take and then sell it for the highest possible price electricity water clean air knowledge you name it they should be treated like the common thieves they are

the stink of gender resentment coming off Silicon Valley has been obvious for a while. these men hate women because they hate being told no.

Another tough day for team “there’s no point in complaining about AI, just accept it.”
