Going to my first "marathon" theatre experience - 5 plays over three days, following the story of Oedipus' family 👀 I'm excited and also a little nervous - if I do hate the first one, there's four more to go! 😅😂

I don't really agree with the whole "all art is written from spite or horniness" post but outsourcing specifically horny art to a machine that has no concept of horniness is genuinely bizarre to me.

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status. He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

time to refresh steam until hades ii comes out already gdi what timezone are they in

Look what we have here then.

‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’ It was originally ‘ekename.’ ‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.” Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it. Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

The Familienbeihilfe (kids' benefits) ends for Ukrainians in Austria in ca. 5 weeks. The government remains silent. Putting aside that this money is vital to keep many children out of extreme poverty - for many, even their bus ticket is tied to it. No FBH = time for the kids to hatschn I guess.

"Hehehe she's so dumb," write the people trusting a hallucinating AI. I think it's quite worrying tbh, Google's AI overview is the worst of the lot in my experience. Like I Google a street's postcode and the AI gives me a completely wrong number. 😐 People's digital literacy is really down the drain

Shana tova! 🙂

Sounds like the segregationists in Connecticut are having a grand ole time “While waiting for the police to arrive, the old Karen’s friend said, ‘You’re not the minority anymore.'” www.blackenterprise.com/alex-okeefe-...

I love the Winter Olympics let’s all get frostbite and fall down a mountain

The local castle ruins were having a medieval festival, it was so hot but wonderful ☺️ Got to see some archery on horseback and some tablet weaving!!

America sliding into Soviet joke territory. Can't exactly stand in front of the White House and shout "fuck the US president" anymore huh

The problem with that "First they came for" poem is it makes a lot of unlikely assumptions. For example it assumes they would ever come for me

Das Video wird jetzt noch 1-2 Tage onlone sein. Dann kann jeder in sich gehen und evtl. drüber nachdenken, ob so ein Workshop in der eigenen Orag Sinn macht. Dann einfach [email protected]. Ziel: ich spiele damit die Erstellungskosten ein. Sind die herinnen, mach ich alles gratis zugänglich.

Man I can't believe we managed to today do: get a lift from a friendly local to Naxos' capital, grab a ferry, metro to middle of Athens for lunch and then metro to airport, flight to Vienna ...... AND THEN THE FUCKING ÖBB LAST MINUTE CANCELS THE TRAIN TO LINZ????

Larry Tesler, inventor of the cut, copy, and paste commands, dies at 74

boy howdy am i tired of the daily "man who sells Thing says Thing very important" tech story

“White man fight back” is a natural reaction to a white man getting shot by another white man in the whitest state in the union.

Absolutely wild. On the left is The Mesopotamian Riddle, the book I was googling - a real 320-page book I own which is very well written and researched. On the right is History of the Mesopotamian Riddle, a 70-page book which in the sample reads like it was written by AI. Is this the new normal????

Die Bezahlkarte für Geflüchtete ist diskriminierende Schikane! Doch mittlerweile gibt es an über 70 Orten solidarische Initiativen dagegen. Dort gibt es Tauschinitiativen, denen ihr euch anschließen und bei denen ihr Bargeld zu Gutscheinen tauschen könnt.

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

My 2¢ is that it felt obvious to me that America was diving into their Years of Lead since that CEO got shot and my friend's suburban lib boomer mom told me ofc she doesn't support violence but also here's her own complex insurance troubles. Charlie Kirk getting got feels small fry in comparison 🤷🏻‍♀️

"You know the Reichstag fire? Where the Nazis, oh that's us in this analogy, they used it as an excuse to take over the government and then start WWII and commit heinous genocide? Yeah that's us right now. It's like the Mitchell & Webb skit except I'm saying we ARE the baddies. Like the Nazis."

Each alleged mass shooter is even more On the Computer All the Time than the previous one. Probably nothing to worry about there

Aaaaaaaaaaa

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

nothing makes any sense everything is random this universe is just satire on existence

One of my favourite things to do on a beach holiday is send out postcards. Do my friends want a postcard? Is there space for it? Will they keep it for more than one day? Irrelevant!! If you've been added to my postcard list (it's 14 names long atm) you're getting a fucking postcard, this is a threat

I just visited a second hand bookstore on the island of Naxos ....... and found a copy of Pillars of the Earth. Cackling because I've never ever ever ever been to a place selling second hand books which didn't have at least one Ken Follet. Even in the middle of the Aegean Sea apparently

I cannot imagine a more insane emergency all-hands meeting to call than what is absolutely going down over there today

A perfect encapsulation of American politics.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Ironically, it appears that AI chatbots hallucinate for the same reason that students feel compelled to use them: They were socialized in a high-stakes testing culture that rewards guessing and maybe getting it right over admitting when there's something you just don't know.

The tension of having a new phone: wanting privacy and needing none of this newfangled nonsense vs remembering you got this phone because of what it can do... 😂

A bit wonky but I'm still pretty pleased with the baby blanket I crocheted for Nephew #2 ☺️ He just turned one!!!

Das palästinensische Mädchen Hind Rajab wurde in einem Auto sitzend erschossen. 335 Einschusslöcher wurden anschließend am Wagen gezählt. Das Kind ist vor ihrer Tötung 3.5 Stunden neben ihren bereits toten Verwandten gesessen und hat mit dem Palästinensischen Roten Halbmond telefoniert.
