I'm a fan of nuanced discussion but at this point I need to indulge in some black and white thinking and be clear that if you entertain AI generated art in any form I have no respect for you

There's a bill on Gavin Newsom's desk right now that would stop monopoly utility companies from adding the costs of their lobbying and PR campaigns into customers' bills. It's unclear if Newsome will sign the bill, despite 93% of voters agreeing with its premise.

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR! That's right- it's #tolktober, run by the mighty @rogueprintco.bsky.social I'm delighted to join in once more, with day 10- ISILDUR Doing a grotty textured companion piece to my Mordor last year, a man in shards, destroyed by his need for the ring #art

How to make smut sexier in one easy step Put fingers in the mouth Just-- fingers in mouth Do it Touch tongue, suck fingers Moan on them, drool while tasting Smut + fingers + mouth = delicious

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

gonna nip this one in the bud and say that this is basically impossible for ANY western company to do but godddd i want to dream!!!

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Twelve Federal Aviation Administration facilities saw staffing shortages Monday night. Burbank, Phoenix and Denver had the worst staffing problems. Newark, Jacksonville, Chicago, DC, and Indianapolis and other locations were also short staffed due to the government shutdown.

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

I was told not to teach a class on the intellectual histories of Zionism and Anti-Zionism next year - not because they doubted I could teach it fairly, but because it would attract too many politicians scrutinizing the syllabus. A society where that is a valid fear is no longer fully democratic.

Time for the con! Wish me luck, cause mama needs a new washer and also a plumber and also student loans and also...

she's genuinely mad because her invite only approach turned on her. she wanted tech bros that felt like they were joining a speakeasy and instead got a bunch of queers throwing each other life preservers to escape Elon

Quite literally the first thing I saw on my timeline earlier was the n word. Hard r. Thousands of likes. Use twitter if you want, it’s not my business to moralize on that. But anybody who pretends it’s anything but this is lying to themselves

Currently at: — only buy tech too old to have AI built in — painstakingly disable AI every time they add it to something that used to work perfectly well — if it can't be switched off, abandon the platform or tool — if there are no good alternatives, avoid the AI parts — patiently wait for the crash

it’s almost like “age verification” is a MASSIVE FUCK OFF SECURITY ISSUE

This is quite an interesting writing challenge LOL. I'm like "okay so I guess...no....but then you could write...no wait no...." Getting real existential 😭🤣

Zohran Mamdani tells CNN: "If Netanyahu comes to deliver a speech at the United Nations General Assembly in New York next year while I am mayor, I will move to honour the ICC arrest warrant issued in The Hague against him, just as I would against Putin. He is responsible for the genocide in Gaza.”

Ahh they finally released the public consultation. 44% of respondents were general public/ not artists. 97% in favour of making it permanent. On average, respondents thought it should last 12 years. www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

On top of delivering the correct lesson to Nazi dipshits, look how much fun everyone is having. Chasing Nazis out of your space builds community!

I’m legit excited to learn that there are workplaces banning it!

"We can't make a product anyone wants with this technology, so we're just gonna force it on you. Enjoy!"

*Sees the most Catholic person in the world doing the most Catholic thing there imaginable*: goddamn Pagans!

US comedians defend decision to play in Saudi Arabia: ‘They’re paying me enough to look the other way’

None of these guys should have a pissless cup of coffee ever again

This Hornet is gonna be mad huge. #silksong

Tell your favorite artists you love their work

I found more joy in life this way.

I had so much fun sprinting today :D Maybe I'll get a good Klance fic out of all this fun too. Hope you guys like a good plane crash and bodily injury. Enemies to lovers, and all that jazz.

This whole section really.

AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations”

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

And that's how you integrate digital elements into an exhibition. Part of the temporary "China's Dinosaur World" at the Shanghai Natural History Museum, China. Closing this November. Video source: Shanghai Let's Meet

Alan Cumming on bathroom bills: "Why on earth would a rapist go through the bother of pretending to be trans in a country that treats rapists better than trans people."

3 things you can talk about for 3 hours no prep 1) Jurassic Park (book and movie, and I'll usually geek out about the differences in detail) 2) M*A*S*H (there are some seasons I can recall perfectly) 3) The evolution of the horror genre in movies and how it reflects the fears of the Era it was made

Sudden unexpected expenses, so that means comms are open a bit longer for #vld writing!

You simply cannot make me spend my time on this stuff. Oh the president said Tylenol causes autism? Well it doesn't. No I'm not going to pore through research papers to prove it to you. That's not what my time is for. My time is for playing videogames and gazing lovingly at my wife.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?
