The best part of being out of town was when my spouse's boss texted asking if he could go in to work, he texted back with a screenshot of our location on the map app.

Just how bad was the beating that the attorney was able to get charges filed in FLORIDA? I suspect the place got shut down and the victims scattered among other detention centers right before an avalanche of stories were about to break. www.winknews.com/wink_investi...

🎯 translation of the inscrutable SCOTUS

Adding this to my list of examples of things machine learning IS good for, as opposed to the slop machines.

God bless the satirists who are working their asses off to stay ahead of MAGA. youtu.be/YSjilx0Mh0I?...

What you're looking at in this 🧵is the post Dobbs redeployment of the political machine that the far right built over the last forty years to target abortion. It's an unholy alliance of big money and big churches that needs a religious crusade for their voters to keep the machine itself alive.

Since we're doing how to survive the heat advice, it's better to mix Gatorade (or electrolyte drink of your choice) 50/50 with water than to drink it undiluted. Learned that from Florida firefighters. Also, start drinking before you're thirsty!

About fucking time. DeSantis (who was credibly accused of authorizing torture at Gitmo) went full Florida politian🤝contractor grift and built a concentration camp on spec. The place was fundamentally evil, but it also had layers of particularly Florida corruption.

POV: you just asked who’s a handsome boy

cookies will be done and printed (t-shirts..... Christmas cards?) and teady from our @introvertebrates.bsky.social table at #DinoCon in a month!

The sheer volume of popcorn I'm going to consume when MAGA cannibalizes itself...

Same reason I think genealogy should be taught. Give me two sets of grandparents and a couple hours, and I'll find enough dead babies, children, and mothers in that anti-vaxxer's tree to curdle raw milk.

Over 350 cards sold! Thank you! Online sales continue until July 8th, 16:00 CEST. There's still time to discover original artwork and support people affected by Alzheimer's. Let's keep going! www.postcardartexhibit.com/shop #postcardartexhibit26 #ArtForACause #postcardartexhibit

During my C-section due to preeclampsia, my spouse kept looking around the curtain that prevented me from seeing my insides on the outside. Afterward I told him he'd finally seen the inner me. He wasn't amused, but I still think it's the funniest thing I've ever said.

Reminder! If you'd like to mess with the algo for JD Vance's book (with another stolen title) on its release date, tomorrow is a GREAT day to purchase communion by bell hooks.

Happy #caturday!

Something that worries at the back of my mind (the front of full) is that kids are growing up with AI generated slop, and soon we'll have a generation that accepts it as normal, because they won't have the internal repulsion filter that rejects excessively toothed plastic smiles.

Oh, it's #NationalPigeonDay? #watercolor #borb

I have never been so interested in scaffolding.

I hope every woman in Ohio who gets sent a nonconsensual dick pic files charges now. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

1. Steal human expertise. 2. Sell sloppified, pseudo expertise to companies so they can fire humans. 3. ??? 4. Profit!

I always appreciate "hey did you know this medicine/your body can do this weird thing" posts because let me tell you about menopausal surprises

I'm going to quibble from Florida. As an adult human seeing a gator sunning on the bank, you stop at this distance, take your picture, and respectfully move away. It's fine. If you've got a loose toddler or small dog, or you're an asshole who decides to feed it, things can get ugly fast.

I just want to be able to have nice silly things, from time to time, without becoming further complicit in the oppression and death of myself or someone else

Absolutely thrilled that my little squirrel is on sale to support @paeartforacause.bsky.social! Please check out all the amazing #ArtForACause! (Btw it's labeled "gouache/mixed media" but it's #watercolor with a few metallic #gouache accents.) www.postcardartexhibit.com/product-page...

I feel sick

A couple diurnal animals running around at night on the first page. There was nothing in the blurb that indicated it could have been foreshadowing weirdness, and I wasn't going to waste my time on an author who couldn't be bothered to fact check something that basic.

I didn't know how badly I needed to see both Iggy and his portrait today. Both are superb.

One of the most important steps to stop the slop is to make both AI companies and the business who use them liable for LLM generated statements.

Without downloading new pics what is it like to date (and/or be married to) you?

Guess which 🦎 finally got her appetite back?!! 🎉🎉🎉

Is he trying to provide a reaction so he can justify sending troops to NY?

Those Danish guys continue to extract my money with ruthless precision

My Instagram stalking paid off! I was able to find a photo from @atelierkyv.bsky.social at @paeartforacause.bsky.social with my squirrel on the wall behind the mayor of the Hague! #PostcardArtExhibit #ArtForACause #watercolor

So Starbucks in South Korea ran a set of ads for a 'tank' coffee thermos and used words that seemed to disrespect the protests which has led to a boycott, CEOs stepping down, public apologies, and now, arrests. Buried in the article below is the reason: AI www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Not me pausing and squinting and looking for my squirrel 😂 (Seriously, check out the amazing art!)

Surveillance pricing is inherently discriminatory. Diet is so closely tied to medical, religious, ethnic status that they can't be separated. Got a kid with a peanut allergy? Price gets jacked up on Sunbutter while three peanut butter brands go on "sale" when the store identifies you.

oh no youtu.be/4YKg6016rTQ?...

They should be grateful that after having every chance for success and security stolen from them, GenZ is agitating for socialism instead of what the right likes to get cute and call "second amendment solutions." (Also if The Economist is posting over here, Xitter really is cooked.)

Found who I need to follow so I don't miss a single drop of that schadenfreudelicious glee when AI crashes.

People think a "fool" is just a silly person who makes bad decisions. I take this insult personally. Explore the oft-misunderstood 0th Arcana in this collection of photos, essays, & memories. Praise good fools; criticize bad ones; meet lots of dogs. Got a bindle ready? It's OK if you don't.

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.
