Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does

If anything, it’s worse that you’re using it for shit you can easily do yourselves and not seeing any productivity gains for. You’re helping train mass surveillance tools so you can generate a harder to find Lorem Ipsum? For THAT? Fuck you.

Look man I don’t think the people being poisoned by data centers really care if you remove the generated assets before shipping, and I don’t really care if you “only” use the machine that stole my shit and convinced teens to off themselves for internal PowerPoints. Cool motive. Still bullshit tho.

There's truly art to creating placeholder text. When I'm working with Quest Designers who stub dialogue, there's a huge difference between the ones who try to write their own dialogue, the ones who write nothing (forcing me to chase them down for context) and the ones that understand the assignment.

[extremely boss voice] everyone at the company is more or less ok with this

Being unable to tolerate frustration + chasing social media clout gotta be a big reason why ppl jumped on the gen ai machine to churn out slop

NEW — I put together a list of independent journalism subscriptions that would make great holiday gifts. From music to politics, astronomy to alcohol, tech to social justice, there’s something for [almost] everyone. Support indie media *and* surprise and delight your loved ones! My guide:

Sloppers fuck off. If you can’t do it yourself maybe learn to be happy as the audience www.sonnyross.com/shop/aisucks

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

This is is why we look at mean, MEDIAN, and MODE, kids. If I am in a group of 10 in which 1 person has $1b and the other 9 of us have $0, on average we all have $100m, and yet I still cannot buy groceries.

holy shit

Another banger for the Michael Shannon file: www.theguardian.com/film/2025/no...

This means if you are in the habit of saying things like "fuck Trump" or "I hope Cheney burns in hell", probably a good amount of your feed isn't seeing those posts because, unbeknownst to them, Bsky has shielded grown adults from "rude" "threats" like this.

shitfaced jamaal bowman saying this is so fuckin funny i feel so seen right now

I have said many times that I think the fundamental divide in the Democratic Party is between those who think we should go back to 2015 and those who already wanted better in 2015

Woke 2 is here.

Good things are possible and we don't have to settle.

“Democratic socialists” and “lgbt” both being 80% means every dem candidate needs to be both a socialist and to unequivocally support trans rights thanks.

Hi if you’re working for justice and striving for a better world you can do one small but hugely impactful thing: WEAR A MASK WHEN YOU GO TO VOTE You will protect yourself and you will also protect all the vulnerable people around you who are literally risking their lives to make their voices count

thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence. This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less. Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.

If you’re in Naperville, or other burbs, you can even tell people you’re from Chicago now and we won’t make fun of you. New battle lines have been drawn.

TRUE TRANS TIMELINE

Talking about politics a bit thread: I want you to know that if you’re tired of being angry, sick of everything happening, you’re doing it right. You shouldn’t want to be angry and the people who are doing this are addicted to it

You can "honor" Kirk's memory by doing the thing he'd hate and donating to an organization that wants to help low-income trans adults receive gender affirming care: www.transincomeproject.org/donate (also read my interview with TIPs executive director in the original post)

I would not — and I cannot stress this enough — trust anything coming from Pam Bondi, Kash Patel or anonymous "internal law enforcement sources." Fascists lie. We have evidence, both contemporary and historical. Unless there is indisputable proof behind a claim made in this case, question it.

With the Trump Administration about to roll its ugly occupation into Chicago, I wanted to write a little lyrical love letter to the city. dansinker.com/posts/202…

FINES DO NOT DISSUADE ILLEGAL BEHAVIOUR IN RICH PEOPLE

If you hear about a Mexican Independence Day celebration in your area, go. There is strength in numbers and — especially if you’re white — you can protect your community just by being there and not flinching if ICE shows up. These goons are cowards. Don’t be one.

Just got my appointment and I feel extremely relieved about it. Here’s the confirmation screen you now get to confirm you have a risk factor, all you gotta do is click yes.

“Taps the sign, AGAIN”

There’s no wrong way to tell the current administration to STFU About Chicago. #chicago

im always taken aback by just how much cis people will humiliate themselves to be dicks to trans people. like sorry, youre confused about pronouns? how did you make it thru 6th grade english you slimy dipshit? why are you going on podcasts to advertise youre too stupid to understand simple concepts?

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it: Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.
