This. So much of it is just a mediocre white man talent simulator and an awful lazy person enabler. theonion.com/guy-who-suck...

Spiderlight by @aptshadow.bsky.social is a masterpiece! The nuance, the commentary, the prose? Well done, sir! This might be my favorite book I've read this year. theboundlessroads.blogspot.com/2026/06/a-re... #fantasybookreview #bookreview #books #fantasybooks #DnD #adriantchaikovsky

Supporting Palestinian human rights doesn’t make us any less Jewish.

Do you use ai? No, just i.

I love how we're watching Seanan's kaiju army building process, collectively and conveniently ignoring the inevitable march towards her supervillainous character arc. I'm fine with it, personally, but I thought some of y'all might have expressed concern.

We're hearing reports that police have tear gassed a group of protesters outside the Senatobia Walmart where an officer shot and killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley.

You love to see it

time for a lil bit of melon chompin'

gale was the model for "this rat that stares at gay people" happy pride, y'all. he is still out there, staring at you from heaven

I like this little sequence of pictures of a sparrow thinking about what song he's going to perform and getting progressively more excited about how impressive he is 🌿🦉

Not everyone is taking Captain Picard Day so seriously

I’ve been getting ads for @govpritzker.illinois.gov nonstop lately. His narrative about paying off $17B of unpaid bills would be a lot more compelling if the state would fully fund Chicago Public Schools with the $1.6B EBF dictates it should receive instead of forcing them to make cuts AGAIN.

Get their ass, Emily

"How am I suposed to avoid AI? It's so hard-" It's not. I don't use any, I don't buy any games that use it, I don't watch any channels that use it, and I never once opened ChatGPT, and lifes been life. Uninstall when you can, and avoid it otherwise. You can think for yourself, i promise

Why does it bother me when a manager or the CEO of my employer boasts about using Copilot to write their emails? This. This is why

It was just 2020 when everyone swore they understood the weight of racism in the United States, but now, less than ten years later, cross burnings are a funny goof? Wake the hell up.

I mean... It shouldn't be so hard to afford groceries. Or health care. Or get a well-paying job that allows decent work-life balance. Or have stable, safe, affordable housing. Or efficient, accessable public transportation... But sure, football 🫠

Cops SAW the infant enter the car and shot multiple bullets into the car none the less. Over a $20 package of allegedly stolen diapers? NEVER believe the cops statement when they murder us. They lie and we find out they lie when we see the actual video of what happened. For almost every murder.

Female Northern flicker at the birdbath. #birds Overall, it's been pretty quiet in the garden. Temps hot today and tomorrow (92F forecast).

This is pretty obvious to anyone who realises that if trans women were supercompetators there'd be a sports arms race about signing them to teams.

Happy Captain Picard Day!

This looks incredible. David Mack's the best Star Trek writer out there and a multi generational Spock story??? I'm in!

I don't think I like the narrative of being in a divided country. When somebody is racist I don't have a difference of opinion with that person. they have a moral failing. I'm not obliged to reach over the boundary and explain that we could probably swap kidneys if we needed. Who has the time lol

Well, I'll be damned. Mike DeWine has had, in effect, an execution moratorium in place in Ohio, but this is such an important progression on his part.

Telling me that YOU are using AI to create a film from my works is not a flex. And yes, I'm judging you. You sound like an idiot. Like, why can't you even make up your OWN shit and do that, if you need to do that?! Do you want to do ANYTHING more than use software? GTFOH.

Khalil Gibran knew this in 1923: Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

"So, if I use ChatGPT you think less of me?" Yep. Hope this helps.

Not a #parent, so I want to be empathetic. Raising kids is hard. However, I work in SPED &worked in social services 6yrs. At this point, I just gotta ask, do y'all even talk to your kids? Do you read w them? Hell, do you even watch tv w them??? The sheer volume of things kids are not being taught...

No, it's because only 3.1 percent of the Dutch population live in poverty as opposed to 20 percent of the British population. The Guardian really needs to stop publishing irresponsible lifestyle crap as news. (The Avondvierdaagse is a nice tradition though.) www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Here's @drewforny.bsky.social in the @forward.com saying he's for divesting from Israel bonds. "New York state must not enable or be complicit in such human misery any longer." He got my vote. forward.com/opinion/8179...

Do you like turtles? 🐢 Do you also like spiders? 🕷️ Then I have just the critter for YOU! You're looking at an 'orange tortoise spider' (Encyosaccus sexmaculatus), native to the Amazon basin of South America. If the legs seem 'stubby', that's because she's got her tarsus joints folded under her.

so, the company whose rockets keep exploding and whose ai keeps making kiddie porn is the wealthiest company in history. this shit is beyond satire.

Oh, you're worth $1.4 trillion on paper? Cool, you now owe the federal government $500 billion in cash, due by end of quarter.

I refuse to use your app. I am old and you will not force me to clutter up my phone.

This is my final story as an NPR correspondent. After more than 22 years at the network, I was among those laid off in a reorganization. www.npr.org/2026/06/01/n...

apologies for the shitty photo, this was something I snapped through closing subway doors. The two buttons read "Hire More BDRs" (business development representatives)/"Hire Ava." A couple of things here. Ava is the AI from the company running all those "don't hire humans" ads ...

Like so many other pathological personalities in positions of power a million years ago, he might do almost anything on impulse, feeling nothing much. The logical explanations for his actions, invented at leisure, always came afterwards. PS. - Kurt Vonnegut,  Galápagos

Hey, friends. Get off of X immediately.

If you are in BC and would like a pause on AI in classrooms, it would help a lot if you signed our petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/pa...

“Do what you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life.” Yeah, because they’ll fucking lay you off to spend a trillion dollars making Clippy able to stand in as a virtual wife who has positive views on school shooters

As Mexico celebrated its World Cup-opening victory over South Africa on Thursday, Merlin, a 2-year-old duck dressed in the national team's colors, became an unlikely internet sensation and the tournament's first unofficial mascot. https://to.pbs.org/4oxmzvS

Right now, the only way to prevent Long COVID is to not get infected with or spread SARS-CoV-2, which our society seems to actively discourage. No KN95/N95s required anywhere, no mandatory improvements or indoor AQ 😷 no paid sick leave or universal health care to stop/slow the spread.
