Sorry not sorry, I don't understand oil prices in barrels. Are they 50 gallon drums? At $100/barrel that's only $2/gallon so that can't be right I have no frame of reference for 'barrels' as a unit of measurement. It means nothing to me.

Some days all you can do is make it to tomorrow. Still counts. I'm glad you're here.

Hey companies, here's a pro-tip If I'm calling you for help with something, I'm already mad. Forcing me to go through an AI agent before I can reach a human just makes me never want to do business with you again. I hope you go bankrupt.

It's important to teach your kids to write without ChatGPT so when the time comes they'll be able to write notes to be smuggled out of their camp.

I just realized that while the Bible mentions angels singing, it never says they're actually good. In my heart I know they're just the worst choir ever. Cool outfits but just.... please stop The people you find in fields aren't afraid, they're trying to get away from the sound

So who do you guys like for security cameras and stuff now that Amazon (Ring) is in bed with Flock?

Hey @microsoft.com It's slop. It will never not be slop. Happy Sunday.

The question “does anyone with honor or integrity remain in the US military?” has been asked and answered.

🎶It's the Forty-Third Annual Convention Of the Grand Mystic Royal Order Of the Nobles of the Ali Baba Temple of the Shrine🎶

Everyone's going on about how much they hate the Avatar movies and I'm over here constantly having to remind myself they made more than one.

Second Impact countdown timer: *starts*

Is @microsoft.com here? How do you screw up an OS this badly? My laptop just forced the upgrade to 11 and now my flight simulators crash constantly and Firefox won't even load. Well done, everyone. You remain the best advertisement Linux has ever had.

If you have a problem with trans women, trans men, or trans people of any make or gender, then you got a problem with me and I suggest you let that marinate

no amount of state propaganda will ever convince me this man is my enemy

Trump: "Hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

i will never vote for Gavin Newsom. i want every other politician to look at how badly Newsom destroyed his own political career by pivoting to fascism & see it as a clear warning that the dignity of marginalized people is not negotiable.

Person 1: Tell me you're not an engineer without actually saying it. Person 2: *makes and maintains eye contact* Person 1: *visibly shaking* OKAY! OKAY!! AAHHH STAAAAAAP

Honest question: what's wrong with Hamilton? I live under a rock and only watched it just recently. What am I missing?

*Ghostbusters music* Who you gonna call? NOBODY I am an introvert. Ghosts haunting the house are the most efficient way I've found to make friends. Move along, we're good here.

Anyone know the LD50 for fresh baked sourdough?

Paging @jay.bsky.team Just poking my head in here real quick - is Link back yet or nah?

Important note - it's not about how fast you respond to things, it's about who you target. Fair and equitable enforcement that is just slow would get a different response from your users.

*hands mic to @jay.bsky.team* (...this is the part where you tell us all how you're going to make it right.)

IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE ME AT MY WORST THEN I'M SORRY THAT MY BEHAVIOR CAUSED YOU DISTRESS, I WILL REFLECT ON THE IMPACT MY ACTIONS HAVE ON OTHERS AND TRY TO IMPROVE MYSELF. THANK YOU FOR BEING MY FRIEND.

"it might be conscious but unable to express it! You can't know." O-kay... That sounds like you are trying to argue for existence of a soul. Why have you never argued this for animals or other objects that didn't have multibillion dollar marketing campaigns?

Don't mind me, just doing the Happy Leo over here after my Syrian friend called me Habibi.

Come on @microsoft.com, how do you fuck up screenshot? I had to download an app to take screenshot because of course, and then the app doesnt even work. Why do you consistently make make your product worse with every release? I gotta see if our IT guys will let me run Linux, this is just stupid.

Still trying to process how, no matter how stupid or insane or cruel the order, there is always a person that will carry it out. Someone pulled that trigger. Someone pressed that button. Technology will never hide the fact that a distressingly large amount of people are just absolute monsters.

Journalists: Here's a thought. Start reporting the cost of things in terms of multiples of how much it would take to end world hunger. Call the unit the "World Hunger" (WH). A couple years back we learned that this would cost somewhere around $6bn if I remember correctly. $12bn is 2 WH's, etc.

I just misread someone's job title of "Solutions Consultant" as "Solutions Insultant" and I think I may have just unlocked a new career choice. "Here's my solution." "Yeah, well it sucks. Try again." I could do this.

Me: *doin' a thing* Pandora: *plays The Trees (Rush, 1978)* Me: *Wow, the 70's were a weird time. A huge band could just write a song about trees and it goes big.* *keeps listening* This isn't a song about trees at all, is it?

Figure out how to get this guy on all the ballots, please All of them

I gotta be honest, I'm not really OK being asked to find sympathy for robots before trans people.

Microwaving a Hot Pocket takes 2 minutes (120 seconds). Google says Gemini uses 0.24 Watt-hours per prompt, about the same as using the microwave for 1 second. THEREFORE, you can either do 120 AI prompts or make 1 Hot Pocket for the same energy. AI is 1/120 Hot Pocket Units. bsky.app/profile/dave...

Just for the record, trans people rule. I see you. Keep that up.

*hits blunt* The existence of the Solar Plexus implies the existence of other Plexus...es How are we okay with potentially a whole group of these things running around doing nonsense We dont even know how many there are!

That thing dogs do when they lick *at* you but don't actually make contact and their super long tongue does that little whip-crack thing 10/10

"Oh Willy McBride, it all happened again. And again, and again and again and again." youtu.be/zRmJwqVbtQI?...

A good root beer is basically magic in a bottle.

Holy wow Just... oh man

Have new thought, post, re-read, delete because it didnt come across right, start re-writing, suddenly it doesnt seem as important, delete draft, have new thought, post, re-read...

Prediction: The solution to this is going to be a mark on the right hand or the forehead, and will finally be the thing that turns the Christians against AI.

You have a lot of eyes for a Christian concerned about being visually tempted to sin.

Guys, I have to confess I used AI today. New work laptop, Copilot pops up and won't go away. Fine, you worthless pile of haunted pseudocode, let's go. I had it tell me how to turn it off. Actually worked, too. Highly recommend getting it to dig its own grave.

Don't mind me, just posting funny or supportive stuff only to immediately delete it for fear of somehow doing it wrong... Fun times. If you saw one of those phantom comments just know I love you all, I really am just this awkward.

I may be 45 years old but you can bet if there's one of those air blowers in the men's room I'm gonna hold my hands just right to make a long farting sound and laugh about it for the rest of the day.

Days like this are weird because I don't know what to say but at the same time it feels wrong not to say anything at all. This is absolute shit.
