Yes, I Mourn My Village. But When It Comes To Talk Of World War, Three's A Crowd!

Write the book you would like to see someone pull from a higgledy piggledy pile in a secondhand shop 63 years after your death and say, "This looks fucking weird. I think I will buy it for Joan."

This is what living in the year 2026 should look like this is the coolest shit I’ve ever seen

you did not see this kitty pull a glizzy heist good morning

I know that bluesky will be reflexively anti-AI on this one, but think of the number of times you've been playing a game you paid full price for and thought, "I wish someone could have my fun for me so I could get back to work"

Prisoners of war have rights that Maduro isn't being afforded at present.

Under anti-vaccine RFK Jr., CDC slashes childhood vaccine schedule arstechnica.com/health/2026/...

Any pediatrician who has practiced long enough has seen this. The worst death I ever was involved in was a previously healthy child who was otherwise immunized. No one was antivax, family just hadn’t gotten around to getting the flu vaccine that year. Absolutely tragic.

Wish I could internalize this

The tech guys have declared they are the future, and as such are not prey to our puny laws we developed to safeguard actual humans re: porn, consent, libel, copyright, health, mental health, environment, monopoly. Governments have to insist they live in the now, in reality, with the rest of us.

This once again goes to prove that LLMs aren't "thinking" (& are, therefore, a dead end if you're a company trying to achieve AGI) ChatGPT isn't playing chess; it *can't* play chess All it was doing here was vomiting out a statistically plausible-sounding string of words, given some inputs

Deadly floods devastate Indonesia, leaving families displaced and homeless https://aje.io/2ahdtv

Video shows gunfire over Caracas, where officials said unauthorised drones were seen over the city, days after the US abduction of Venezuela’s Maduro. Authorities said police fired warning shots as a deterrent, but gave no details of who was flying the drones.

I’ve posted about this before, but about five years ago I got third degree burns up my forearm (and livetweeted the experience) and now you can barely even see the scar because during pregnancy, my sons’ stem cells healed the area. And now my husband’s and kids DNA is testably part of me

More good news, the 'end peat sales' petition has happily flown past 6,000 people actnow.peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sal... next goal is 10,000 @peatfree.bsky.social

It's kind of fun to remind people they are villains, or at least, anti-heroes.

Discworld QOTD, from Equal Rites “Zoon tribes are very proud of their Liars. Other races get very annoyed about all this. They feel that the Zoon ought to have adopted more suitable titles, like ‘diplomat’ or ‘public relations officer’. They feel they are poking fun at the whole thing.”

I just learned about this one yesterday but I can tell it’s staying forever

What's up, babe? You've hardly touched your clear sparkling protein drink 🤢

I get it, Juanita. I really do.

Cats all rolled up like delicious pastries

Staying on the on-demand CSAM app with all the Nazis is a curious decision

Ok. So. They anonymised the sheep.

Deleted a repost of a thread. Looking closer, the person is comfortable sharing AI images & video. Was the thread also AI? Was it accurate? I’d rather not take the chance and share it. Journalists, keep this in mind. “Fun” AI videos & images undercut your credibility.

“im scared of making daddy mad“ as a way of ruling fuck me

if the activities of your church are indistinguishable from conversion therapy then your church needs to change or be shut down

Imagine being the person brave enough to leak this in the hopes that media attention could stop it and then the media just……buries it.

In a nutshell.

Grab tissues before reading

For all that the media has spent years freaking out about what social media does to our brains, I don’t understand why there appears to be little effort to grapple with the fact that these chatbots are, for some not insignificant portion of the population, literally psychosis machines

OpenAI is now facing a total of 8 wrongful death lawsuits from grieving families....who claim that ChatGPT, in particular, the GPT-4o version, drove their loved ones to suicide. Soelberg’s complaint also alleges that company executives knew the chatbot was defective before it pushed it to the public

This is absolutely amazing. Hurray for science! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ozzy celebrates the return of his staff with a light mauling

Now in her alternate mode. If she's not sleepy, she's murderous.

it's funny when watching US movies or tv shows i used to be like "man, they sure do use food poisoning as a plot device *a lot* in america..." then i learned their food poisoning statistics and it blew my mind. that's just how they live! people DIE of food poisoning regularly in the US. it's MAD.

Could an empire in decline do THIS? *launches deeply unpopular invasion cementing status as lunatic-led pariah state, its not clear what kind of move i was trying to do*

maduro was my fentanyl guy, where am I supposed to get fentanyl now

If you're not qualified to answer then maybe you shouldn't be in that job, arsehole.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

decades of "lol the french are cheese-eating surrender monkeys" seems funnier in a different way when you realise the french public will burn down the government if it even looks at them wrong while the american people are the most house-broken nation in existence

Your fact of the day: The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that one in six American citizens suffers a food-borne illness annually. In the UK, the figure is one in 132. bylinetimes.com/2020/02/28/f...

US chicken is chlorinated because America has no animal welfare laws where poultry is concerned. It has to be chlorinated because Salmonella and e. coli run rife The EU banned that practice in 1997 and as such the UK has among the highest welfare and standards in the world. 1/2
