10/10 take. No notes.

I don't understand why people are so obsessed with their ships being canon. Is canon validation nice? Of course! Is it in any way required? Not at all! We're all just kids mashing our dolls' faces together and saying "NOW KISS!" here.

So my dog has lime disease. It's treatable with antibiotics, thank god, but they cost me over $200. I don't like being someone who begs for money online, but that's put me in a bit of a crunch. If anyone could help out, even a little bit, I'd be incredibly grateful. ko-fi.com/dreaming_shark

The ADHD feeling of suddenly having all the energy in the world - at 1am.

it’s that time of year again 🍂🍃

Why did they decide we needed generative ai instead of making something less shitty than Bluetooth?

“Please send us emails instead” means “we can put key words from your script on our corporate spam filter and ignore you, but calls shut down our entire contact infrastructure” Keep fucking calling.

i challenged myself a bit with lineless coloring #hxh

A federal officer cannot be “doxxed.” The public has a right to know who is operating in our government, especially if they have the power to imprison someone.

Sometimes, it's just a question of lighting #Promare

Happy Pride with my main set of #Promare headcanons! The rest of the team are right below

the thing about genAI is if it was actually useful or benefits the end user in any capacity, you'd have to pay for it. it'd be locked behind so many gates as a use privilege but instead opt-outs are virtually impossible and it's force-fed down your throat like ducks being prepared for foie gras

me, super angry and trying to be threatening

Chaucer would be proud

ASL interpreters who work in the arts (concerts, opera, theatre, etc) deserve to be valued as artists too. it takes so much skill to be this good at capturing the FEEL of music beyond just translating the meaning of the text and it’s an invaluable accessibility service

People are trying to think of ways to be cute about this and: do not. Do not call the feds with spurious reports. Do not play word games about extra terrestrials. Simply do not interact and do not answer questions about other people and always, always, demand a judicial warrant

Do not dunk. Do not quote-post. Do not screenshot and repost. They wish to be visibly cruel because it makes them feel big and strong. Block them with the most powerful block button we've had on social media to save yourself the energy, and save others from the garage being spread

Ahead of the big winter storm about to hit the US Gulf States, just a reminder: ELECTRIC HEATERS SHOULD BE PLUGGED DIRECTLY INTO WALL OUTLETS. Extension cords = big fire risk.

Today and in the coming days, remember

People of Chicago, if they do the ICE raids tomorrow (assume they will), 2 big things: (1) ICE warrants aren’t real warrants. If it doesn’t say “United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois” and isn’t signed by a judge, it’s vampire rules, they can’t come in unless invited

(2) you have a first amendment right to film federal employees, like ICE agents, performing official duties in public. This doesn’t mean they won’t try to fuck with you for doing it, but that is a right you have

I don't know if this is an autistic-brain thing, but one of the thing that really freaks me out about the current reality is that I really deeply and fundamentally don't understand why anyone would ever choose cruelty over problem-solving.

So deeply not kidding when I say that the current paradigm of "Gen AI" is doing deep, lasting harm to our ability to make knowledge, meaning, & truth w/ each other. Like… it's really fucking us up & if we don't stop it soon we're gonna see a kind of negative chaos frankly unimaginable to most ppl 👍🏾

This article has solid, actionable tips for minimizing the damage caused by social media collecting our personal data - without having to delete profiles or burn it all down.

How to turn off Gemini AI in Gmail: • Go to "Settings" • Go to "General" • Scroll down + unclick all boxes labeled "Smart Features & Personalization" (For me there were two boxes to unclick) Once I did that I rechecked Settings & found that no less than (10) different categories deployed AI 🤢

Oh good. It's going to be fucking cold in DC on the 20th. Maybe Trump will get sick and not be able to bother us for a few days.

I don't think it was pain that made him so great, I think painting brought him whatever happiness he had. * RIP David Lynch

The millennial experience is growing up with the internet, and watching it go from a free, open, democratic, and eclectic ecosystem to a wasteland of five websites controlled by billionaires, and now seeing it quickly fill up with AI-generated slop. I want our World Wide Web back.

In my day, we used to understand that fiction was fiction. We had terms like "squick". If I don't like it, that means it's not for me, not that it's morally reprehensible and should be suppressed. Younger people need to let go of this weird puritanism, it's not good for anyone involved.

so i bought the promare ost on cd because why not and my god Nexus really is the gayest song like what

IF buying stuff from your store means I practically need to walk from aisle to aisle with an employee escort, then GUESS WHAT?? I'm going somewhere that DOESN'T make me do that!

Welp. Apple snuck something dirty in our phones last night. Settings > Apps > (pick an app) > Siri > Learn From this App TOGGLE OFF. You have to go through each app. My garage app, my BANKING APPS, others had that turned on automatically. 😡

Matching husbands #Promare

I'm uncomfortable with the inevitable "his work was always crap" because it seems to say "you can tell who the predators are by how well they write" and ... no no you absolutely cannot, that's the whole point.

*travel sized leorio :,) #hxh

I guess what offends me about AI support service is I have an internal standard of "are they capable of being more helpful than Clippy" and the answer is always no

Sincerely delighted to discover, 45 minutes into this nearly-wordless three-hour documentary about French monks who take vows of silence, that among the reasons they *can* talk is "to make sure the monastery cats know when it's mealtime by making little kitty-calling noises at them."

If you start watching PROMARE at exactly 10:21:02pm tonight, Lio and Galo will kiss at midnight. 🔥🔥🔥 (And stop kissing 26 seconds after midnight, god damn what a good movie, everyone go watch PROMARE please.)

"Kiss" I don't know AAA #leopika

No. This is nonsense. Generative AI isn't artificial intelligence, it's a theft machine, built on theft, sipping the lifeblood of our planet, vomiting out simulacrum of creativity and talent that is most striking its its uncanny valley hollowness. It is the corporate murder of creativity. A plague.

THIS! There is *nothing* cheaper or easier than an idea. Any morning—and I’m not *that* wildly creative—I get half a dozen ideas for novels before I’ve even had my tea. But the novel comes of the work of distilling an idea up through your brain, in *your unique voice.* Not some answering machine’s.

So there are around 146,000 people with the name Mario in the USA. All of whom now have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.
