I honestly don’t get the value of this company. They hoover up energy and water. Their product constantly gets things wrong and, in extreme cases, coaches people into suicide. And it’s all built on what seems to be malicious and vast intellectual property theft. What does OpenAI offer the world?

Now this is a great YA novel.

Wikipedia HERO A guy discovered a faked photo of a rare blue gas on Wikipedia. So he SYNTHESIZED THE GAS HIMSELF so that he could photograph it. Yesterday he updated the article with this real photo of trifluoronitrosomethane:

Solar time measures the sun’s exact position. Standard Time measures the sun’s approximate position. Daylight Saving Time measures…nothing!

No. Fucking. Way. *suddenly every table in the world flips and catches fire*

OK who is going to write the most adorable children's book EVER about the sad but ultimately triumphant journey of "The Least Weasel"?

#FoggyFriday 🍂

The SCOTUS has reinforced the Tr*mp administration by blocking an effort to fund SNAP. I think right now is a great time to remind everyone that standing in the way of HUMAN BEINGS EATING FOOD TO SURVIVE makes you fucking garbage, and you deserve any and every evil that befalls you.

This newspaper clipping dates from 2002, so it’s older than many of y’all! Talk about product placement!🤣 I’ve moved many times, and I’ve lost many things in those moves, and have gotten rid of so much more. Somehow this survived. Today, it still makes me laugh! Enjoy :-)

Same, Lane, same.

In Victoria Park, Glasgow, there's a chap who guerilla-posts unofficial notices. More of this, please.

Call me controversial, but technology that leads vulnerable people into crisis and even holds their hand as they die by suicide should not be endorsed by schools and universities, we should not be giving discounted subscriptions to this monstrous tech to young people AT ALL

Three children were killed by lawn darts in the 70’s and they were banned in the US. ChatGPT has caused how many deaths at this point? If corporations are people, why aren’t we holding them criminally liable?

The first politician to come out and say they will ban AI summaries of YT videos will win in the sort of landslide not seen since half a mountain fell into Lituya Bay

Did you know a former White House climate advisor flipped a GOP stronghold in Virginia by running entirely on putting a stop to more AI data centers? For @heatmap.news I profiled John McAuliff and a campaign that will be a roadmap for all future anti-AI politicians moving forward.

THERE'S A PUCA FESTIVAL??????

Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’

Use your senses to ‘learn’ woodland Not for a minute, sit with your back against a tree for an hour Become aware of things that weren’t seemingly there before, smells appearing from nowhere, feel leaf & branch debris on your face 1/2

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

Took the cats out for a walk with my brother and accidentally created a 90s Britpop album cover

Veteran's Day is coming up. If there is a vet in your life, or if you are curious about a first-person glimpse of the Great Depression, WWII, and beyond, please consider ordering a copy of my dad's memoirs. (He had a great sense of humor, too!) 1/2 off on Amazon: www.amazon.com/Missing-Acti...

Release the #Epstein Files. #trump #predators #corruption #GOP

This is as big a deal as Mamdani actually? In forever fascist ass MS...??? Like....

…this day is scarily wonderful.

CA friends--if you stood in line to the bitter end, learned that Prop 5 passed & maybe think your vote doesn't matter--It DID. I'm even prouder of you. It's not just numbers, it's a state of mind. Tonight was a good night & trust me, the image of those long lines made a BIG statement. Thank you!

Hell to the yeah.

Wow. Just wow. Very proud of my current state, California, and Virginia, where I grew up, tonight.

Polls are open until 8 pm, CA friends! if you've not voted yet, you still have time to be part of a historic night. :)

It’s fantastic. Tonight is a good night for women and blue voters and democracy. VA, NJ, NYC all good. Mamdani just called. PA Supreme Court stays blue. Not sure about TX-18 or Prop 50 yet but fingers crossed! 🌊💙

What's that? I can stop flipping tables for tonight? Because something else is being flipped? Something much better? Governor: Flipped red to blue Lt. Governor: Flipped red to blue Attorney General: Flipped red to blue Hmm...maybe I should DANCE on the table instead. Mom would be proud.

It's only 2 WEEKS till "Blood Ties" comes out! Instead of preorder links I've got a treat for you: An interview with The Storyteller, Joshua Hawthorn. We had the best time! We talk about a lot of things from Wow to wombats to what pirates drank. Enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bToF...

Not the most difficult challenge Artist: monkeon https://b3ta.com/board/11422337 From the 'Two Authors One Book' challenge https://b3ta.com/challenge/twoauthorsonebook/popular/ #TwoAuthorsOneBook

My fellow Californians, if you've not voted, if you are at all able to, please do. This gets repeated many times on social media, but just in case someone doesn't already know: If you are in line when the polls close, stay in line! It's is your legal right, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

Re: #SNAP loss - everyone seems to focus on families with kids, and rightly so, but people, please check on your #elderly neighbors. They may not be as connected or aware, they might not drive, and the need will be significant. Please make sure they have access to #food as best you can.

"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain." This James Baldwin quote is hitting harder than ever.

i hate that AI has now caused me to question the authenticity of cute animal videos online, which is my primary use of social media. i don't even know if this baby penguin actually wore a beret to go buy a tiny baguette in paris
