Shoving different technologies under a single "AI" umbrella means people end up having apple/orange arguments. And yes there are real and good uses for "AI" (many in medicine and pharmacy) that no one would object to but Tech Inc and idiots keep pushing stupid horrible use cases for GenAI & LLMs

Okay, sooooooo. The first chapter of the fiction podcast I’m making out of the manuscript I had sitting on my hard drive is coming out ASAP. I have no idea when it’ll show up on Apple Podcasts or Spotify or Audible, but … yeah. Publishing is a struggle but I can make my own goddamn podcast.

"Strong floor, no ceiling" is very literally the basis of like every Gilded Age political cartoon

Everything this man says is just an attempt to find a new viewership base. There’s no point in even entertaining him. Let him go the way of his brother

"I'm going to tax the everloving shit out of the rich people who made your life miserable and put every masked thug who broke the law or traitor who wrecked the government for their own profit in prison" I admit is too long for a sign, but at the very least this should be the spirit of the thing.

I would continue to work at my part-time job at dog camp which I love, and maybe even take on more hours, but I would quit my factory job and focus a lot more on my podcast.

Alina Habba’s parents emigrated to the US from Iraq citing persecution.

Seeking food and water after a disaster is not fucking looting.

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.

Seems pretty clear that this has to end with removal and prosecution and courts martial.

There is no state in America where the average gas price is below $2.34 / gallon.

I keep saying this exact thing, but it cannot be repeated enough.

Adventures in unwanted AI search results: I googled my bank’s routing number and the AI provided me with a number that was wildly incorrect, with the bank‘s website page with the correct number listed right below it.

No one is cancelled by accident. This isn't the 1950s- we're not cancelling people for being gay, using drugs, or for martial infidelity. If you have been cancelled in the 21st century, it is for hate speech and sex crimes. Full stop. Why would ANYONE think "Yeah, but what if we brought them back?"

The finest minds at the Hollywood Reporter trying to Surf Dracula the gay hockey show

i love this

Former Senate Judiciary Cmte chief counsel for nominations and Gorsuch clerk Mike Davis needs an intervention, a Big Balls welcome (*ahem*) to 14th & U, or maybe both.

Introduce yourself with five concerts you’ve seen: Muse Alice Cooper Rod Stewart Hootie and the Blowfish Queen, technically (What? I was there! I was in utero! It counts!)

Oh, that writer can fuck ALL the way off. I’ve been listening to the audiobook again at work tonight and Ilya goddamn Rozanov would never stop laughing at the implication that he’d ever be a “chaste finale kiss” kind of guy.

They want to rehabilitate sex creeps and criminals because of some combination of the following: a) they've got something in their own past they don't want to have bring them down, b) they want the creep prerogatives that used to come with the gig, c) they're just plain sexist motherfuckers

Every day I wake up and hope somebody will do something about the state of the country. And I don’t mean like what that guy did to the National guardsman in DC the other day. I mean I need our “At long last, have you no sense of decency?” moment and I need it YESTERDAY.

If this guy doesn’t like fiction that deviates from documented events and characterisations, just wait until he sees the Historical Plays of… *checks notes* wait this can’t be right

Hilariously, I did not think of Avatar first. I thought of Overdrawn at the Memory Bank from MST3K.

I cannot even begin to express my rage at this lie reading this through me back into my pandemic EMT life, attempting to resuscitate a child experiencing a cardiac arrest secondary to COVID while a father says “we heard that the vaccine was riskier than COVID for kids” and a mother wails in agony

I spent an hour today at the Y exercising and that was mostly because I watched “Heated Rivalry” episodes one and two on my phone and stretched out my treadmill time another 10 minutes.

trump: “no see we HAVE to blow up those boats in the caribbean, they could be carrying drugs!” also trump:

I bet if you blow the dust of the DEPARTMENT OF WAR sign it’d reveal the word CRIMES right after that

“current” is a pretty weird word there

Finch notification: Slow down before bedtime! Me: *staying up for another nine hours as per usual*

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:

i feel like we need something more than the hague, like one of those supervillian prisons in the middle of the ocean that movies always have.

This intra-party redistricting fight is getting ugly. From Trump’s 2024 co-campaign manager:

This is in the running for my favorite lecture slide ever

I think that somewhere along the way something in Stephen Miller got fundamentally damaged. This is neither an excuse nor a mitigating factor; the dude is genuinely fucking evil and he and everything he stands for should be fought against and stopped. But he is something beyond mere sociopathy.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes. If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture

this is just gutter racism

Oh, @hbomax.bsky.social, you might want to check the second episode of “Heated Rivalry.” There’s a sequence that is all in Russian, but there are no English subtitles provided.

Oh, they are SUCH a good Shane and Ilya.

Three minutes into the first episode of “Heated Rivalry” and I really should get a dollar for every time I’ve giggled and said “I love these two idiots so fucking much.”

Can someone show the White House Press Corpse a montage of the reporters who covered previous administrations, the ones who weren't complete cowards?

It's got racism. It's offensive to people with intellectual disabilities. It's Islamophobic. Happy Thanksgiving from the president

Straight-up sociopath. Asked about a Guard member who’s dead because of his bullshit and it takes him 30 seconds to make it all about how great he is.

Quick, they can’t have gotten far

And end up either washing dishes appallingly late or leaving them overnight until they’re one big pile stuck together? Hard pass.

Con: Seventh Thanksgiving I missed due to work. Pro: This is what we did today.

Today I thought that given all the declining health speculation about the current president, if Biden outlives him I will NEVER stop laughing.

"Ah, nothing. I'm just a gutter racist, see."
