Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

A LOT of industry folks need to take "I think there's a very high possibility that this is all a bunch of horseshit" to HEART.

It’s about time someone calls this parasite in his utter shit. www.sfgate.com/tech/article...

Whoever could have imagined??🤷‍♂️ newrepublic.com/post/202813/...

I made my connecting flight by the skin of my teeth. I have appeased the airline gods today with much ritualistic flapping of arms. ( they really, REALLY, like that apparently. ) Next stop, Minneapolis.

You don’t have to like him, he may not be perfect, but he’s the shadow president ( like in Westminster systems there’s entire shadow cabinets for the main opposition party ) now. He’s probably gonna be the person for this time. No one else is coming close. www.thedailybeast.com/gavin-newsom...

If the metal birds can still get me there, I’ll be in Minneapolis for Twin Cities Comic Con this weekend! Come say hi. I do, in fact, draw & paint stuff. & have very weird conversations with folks. Plus a lot of new books. I do need to get a new headshot though.

Just spray paint the entire Whitehouse gold & get it over with I guess.

She needed to go a decade ago *at least*. She was great, but political hubris & geriatric rule has been just as much the enemy of the Democrats as the terrible nature of their opposition. Feinstein, RBG, Biden, Schumer, Pelosi & others are partly why we’re in this mess. apnews.com/article/pelo...

Ahahahha.

They need to steal all the world's IP, and get all the world's money for free, to be successful at their business. They are geniuses.

Love this one.

*chef’s kiss*.

California got called the moment the polls closed. Simply amazing.

They’re fucking DOING IT. Everywhere. Mamdani is in.

Bloody hell. That’s not the way anyone should go. Attacked by giant Asian hornets. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Second podcast complete! Aaron Reynolds is just fantastic. Decided I’m going to do them all looking like some sort of confused dollar store version of David Lynch going forward. Plus whiskey. New episodes of SQUIDCAST coming soon.

The Lincoln Project just shot itself in the face. “Go fuck yourself” Cheney’s most famous quote, does come to mind.

Just saw a moronic mainstream news report on the US penny going away. Yes, you must round up or down to nearest 5c. No mention though, that it’ll cost treasury *more* money as the 5c gets used more, & costs more to make… ( I think ) This admin can’t do anything right.

Looks like it’s champagne tonight, regardless of election results.

I can’t believe I bloody corked my whiskey. That’s a first. ( it went into the bottle )

The best bars have face huggers & xenomorphs

I have received an amazing kettle as a housewarming present. They know me too well. Huge thanks Sorah & Brett!

“FUCK AI” is turning into a movement. After his Frankenstein Q&A at the Chinese Theater, Guillermo del Toro asked the audience to scream “FUCK AI.”

Yoshinobu Yamamoto won Games 2, 6 and 7 of the World Series. He threw a complete game in Game 2, six innings and 96 pitches on Friday and came back Saturday to throw 2.2 scoreless innings on 34 pitches and induce the World Series-winning double play. A legendary performance.

This is a weird timeline already, but it’s now filled with baseball stuff and I actually understand some of it. What is happening to me???

As a consolation to our Canadian friends, Los Angeles will now embark on one of our greatest traditions: burning down the entire city with illegal fireworks

And off I go to see if @effinbirds.com has a very good night tonight or if he’s going to be frustrated for yet one more game with his beloved Blue Jays. Although I know what this guy really wants in his mouth, & he probably should save it til after the game 😂

This is how all Democrats should respond to questions from the billionaire-controlled media.

I love to see stuff like this because it helps explain to people trapped in tech-sponsored information bubbles the actually obvious fact that universities teach people to know & think things, and AI is a way to produce the effect of knowing & thinking things w/o actually knowing & thinking them.

On this Halloween, a reminder that a sculptor included a Xenomorph gargoyle during the 1990s restoration of Paisley Abbey

Why am I somehow subscribed to an email list for a shipping company I used just once, that is now trying to tell me I should… vacation at a golf course in North Carolina? Enshittification is just that bad eh?

“It claims the US would have blamed Venezuela for the attack on the USS Gravely, a guided-missile destroyer, to justify aggression against it.” This seems familiar

Hey writers…

The loneliest pumpkin in my building.

Find a person who sings to you.

Just be your authentic self. It’s so much fucking less work.

I’m doing something unthinkable. I’m watching some of the World a series. I blame @effinbirds.com now

Behold my first attempt at cooking green chilli. ( as a guy who risks burning the house down each tome he cooks. ) It tasted good. A victory whiskey is in order.

All in favour of immediately ripping down the Epstein ballroom the moment it’s possible for any other President to do so, say aye.

Also.

A school of fish. An unkindness of ravens. A murder of crows. A lawsuit of ai techbros.

I’m gonna say this is relatively accurate.

Oh gods. Have just found out my podcast thing somehow makes it onto IMDb?? Uuuhhh…
