Strawberry economics

The older I get the more I hate making extra stops on my way home. Like I'm late for the house.

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

Still cleaning. Still tired. Still trying to avoid eviction. Could use $30 for delivery for me and the roomie tonight as our deadline looms closer and we keep working through it. Thank you. #helpsky #mutualaid #transcrowdfund #helpfolkslive

LinkedIn has always been trash. But now it's almost entirely slop. Corporate executives are paying Filipinos to use AI to ghostwrite posts which these same people then reply to with congratulatory comments. This is the doom loop future internet that oligarchs want everywhere.

When Minneapolis felt under heavy siege, people from everywhere helped and reached out and it was really heartening and made a difference. Memphis deserves that too, all the more so because there appears to be a concerted effort to keep their occupation out of the news

That reminds me of one of my favorite STEM jokes. Professor: Can anyone tell me what Watson and Crick discovered? *Yelled from the back*: Rosalind Franklin's notes!

this is a masterpiece

Jared Polis is a coward who capitulates to MAGA bullies. He is unfit to lead in this moment, is a disgrace to Colorado and the country, and should resign. www.npr.org/2026/05/15/n...

If we’re going to beat Collins, it’s going to take more than money. It’s going to take a candidate who can unite ALL Mainers against a common enemy and I’m that candidate. Andreaformaine.com

they're making beautiful people with interesting hobbies work 40 hours a week

The turtles realizing they gotta pay for the pizza:

everything depresses me these days, but the people with pronoun pins buying harry potter LEGO sets really twists the knife don’t give money to someone who hates you, jfc

here’s where i admit to liking aspic AND tuna casserole. you can blame my grandfather, who did a good job making both.

if i had a dollar for every time i resisted the urge to correct people when they said "less" when they meant "fewer" (if you can count it, it's "fewer"), or "more unique" (unique is a binary state; the word you probably want with multiple levels is "distinctive"), i would *retire*.

"I can not believe America has becom--" bitch, we have Andrew Jackson on our money. our default money. the only money the bank robot knows how to hand out.

Does no one want to impress Jodie Foster anymore?

I keep seeing people admonish others about discussing politics. To that, I say:

The only way to end the sexual abuse of children who are detained and incarcerated is to stop detaining and incarcerating children. There are no "reforms" that end sexual abuse inside.

These parents are $445 short of the $2k they need to pay for their baby's chemo tomorrow. I sent $100, can you pitch in?

Happy Trans Day of Visibility ❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

I have no doubt that this is true, but stop with the bigoted headlines. There's nothing "insane" about it. It's a very deliberate, purposeful, agenda-driven act. And unlike having a mental health issue or disability? It's pure evil.

Every time you use OpenAI, Google Gemini, Grok, or any of the other popular AI slop generators, you help in your own small part to make places like Memphis, TN unlivable for certain populations that reside nearby datacenters - even people miles away are subjected to infrasound pollution. #FuckAI

There is nothing more embarrassing than having to explain to my coworkers why I called out sick because of chronic pain, like how am I supposed to make “ I am fine now, it’s just that yesterday I could feel every joint in my body” sound real

If you're watching the new Harry Potter show, you should unfollow me. Maybe even block. We know supporting Joanne's work means hurting trans peeps. End of discussion. No support. Not even piracy is an excuse here. You can live without it.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

Until America confronts its part in the transatlantic slave trade, AI will always be twisted for evil here. Because at the end of the day, these people want personal, digital slaves who tell them how special they are and who they can abuse without consequence.

i think i sprained my pinkie?

Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day. Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.

I don't think USians correctly perceive the threats.

i have long believed that nothing only men like is worthwhile. and nothing only white people like is worthwhile. (for, of course, values of "only" that allow for small numbers of outliers.) unrelated: have you ever noticed that the overwhelming majority of genai pushers are white men?

It’s an ICE staging center that told its queer and Black customers to go fuck themselves.

platner had a nazi tattoo, retweets nazi podcasters, and has appeared on the podcasts of antisemitic conspiracy theorists. he was also a mercenary and despite his blue collar shtick comes from an extremely wealthy family.

Democrats are “the party of working people” if you count Black people and other minorities as people

pod save is showing their whole ass again. the fakest progressives on the fucking planet, my disappointment and frustration with these dipshits knows no bounds.

"You have a high body count" Yes. High enough to reach the sky, block the Sun, and despoil the land so that you, specifically, can starve to death. 😌

I’m considerably more pissed off about the BAFTAS airing the slur while they censored other things that were not fucking slurs

Due to recent discussions: when I worked at a library, I was trained on how to politely but directly respond to unwanted sexual comments. Unfortunately commonly-marketed fantasies about librarians mean it happens a lot. Rehearse these. Be comfortable saying them forcefully, but politely.

It's difficult, in order to pass where I have to pass, folks have to believe I'm not as disabled as I am, for my protection because it undermines my perceived competence, & they would never actually believe how disabled I am. I am actually fighting so hard to function at an abled standard & masking.

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation. Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.
