One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

Did not expect a bunch of the replies to this to be people from MN being like “I don’t get Prince”

A truly adaptable pasta canvas

And FYI, the majority of the bigotry I see imported from Twitter is posted here by one of you for no other reason than "Look how awful. Isn't this awful?" YES. THAT'S WHY I'M HERE. Knock it off with the smell-this activism, you're literally just the unpaid street team for the shittiest ppl alive.

Unnoticed by whom?

False equivalence. This is a convo about ownership. Spend $10.99/mo on CDs and in a year you've got 12 CDs. Yours forever even if you go broke and can't buy more. Spend $10.99/mo on streaming and then have to cancel? You've spent the same $ and you have...nothing. These are not equivalent systems.

Google just told me that one of the attractions in the prospect park zoo is the Statue of Liberty

White people love naming a dog after some food

I made this meme some years ago and it just popped up in my phone photo memories and… welp.

Seconded. Women and girls are expected to empathize, sympathize, and relate to male protagonists. It's simply presumed we will. I genuinely believe the binds of early misogyny could be loosened in young minds by expecting the same of boys with female protags.

I just don’t want to share germs with you people in a tin can.

thunderstruck sounds like a song the gremlins from gremlins would make if you locked them in a Guitar Center

There are only about 235 kākāpō owl parrots left in the wild, for comparison there is over 7,000 Guns N' Roses pinball machines in the world.

A friend of mine who was TA’ing for an AmLit course found a copy of Moby Dick a student had left behind. It had only one marginal annotation, around page 100, that simply said “whale is important.”

He is perfect

Having vigorous disagreements is not the only valuable kind of socializing, nor is it the only way to learn anything. Hope this helps.

Man with 26,600 posts on Bluesky: “Bluesky is mostly unfun, and sometimes really unfun.” Bro, nobody is forcing you to post on a site you don’t enjoy! ATTENDANCE IS OPTIONAL. This is a you problem.

Whoever figured out how to make coffee is pretty high up there bc what the fuck

Unfortunately this is the only thing that would make any of this acceptable

In fall of 1997, my freshman year of undergrad, I spent HOURS in the computer lab building my own web site, armed only with gumption and a rudimentary grasp of HTML. The longer you spent on the early Web, the more potential you started to see. It is the exact opposite for AI.

It’s actually so funny to see Helen of Troy upset thousands of angry men in 2026 in the exact same way she did back in antiquity.

Why are all the arguments for being on Twitter just dudes being like “but don’t you miss getting yelled at by strangers”

It’s honestly hilarious how many Serious Opinion Havers keep independently rediscovering the same discourse of “BlueSky sucks because I don’t know how to make friends”

🎾 OMG 🥹 Naomi Osaka co-hosted a dinner party with some of the Black tennis players for this year’s Roland Garros (French Open) This is so beautiful ✊🏾

The one actual critique you can make of Bluesky is that we’re all getting into the white van with “free discourse” written on the side

like at least pick high life if you’re gonna cosplay as a member of the working class

you cannot get at it

$9-billion taxpayer transfer to a $5 trillion company for US spy agencies to go all in on AI. NYT doesn't include a single critical word from a privacy or civil liberties expert. Just a don't-worry-about-it assurance at the end. Also: Anthropic is not our friend. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/22/u...

Just wanted to let you know that the IRS has audited every president annually for decades now to ensure there was no corruption and the reason you didn't know that was because only one president found that to be a problem

I’ve loved this shit my whole life

You come to me, on the day of my son's wedding, which I am not attending

imagine your father announcing he’s not going to your wedding on social media

my dog has a new bestie in our building named Beans and on monday we are going to Beans' birthday party and I suddenly now understand the phrase "dog parent" much better

I have, too, but I'm certainly not going to brag about them on the website for 38 year old former gifted children

So many of y'all have been to some dodgy ass concerts.

this was spot on

occasionally i long for the midwest

i just laughed out loud

People rightfully love to clown on / be upset about these stories, but 700k with the stipulation that you need to live within 2 miles of daddy is sad and manipulative!

Timeline cleanse

It's weird that google is getting rid of google

grilling hot dogs between storms like a sea captain. Yeah, just like a sea captain

every time “birth rates” come up in the discourse eventually someone remembers its because teenagers arent really getting pregnant anymore and then we all go “oh yea” until we forget again a few weeks later and start all over again

dating advice for men: be nice to women

There's an episode of The Studio (highly recommended!) where Seth's character walks out to a comic con panel and is booed for using AI animation in a Kool-aid film, at which point Ice Cube (as himself, the in-universe voice of the Kool-aid Man) turns and immediately goes "FUCK AI" and walks offstage

i feel uniquely qualified as a c suite executive to note that i have never needed a robot to tell me to drink water
