so notifications are just fucked, huh

Pure theft. All the AI companies did it. Greatest heist in human history. Remember how angry the artists and bands were at Napster? They came after kids for one download. Where is that energy now?

THE FIRST STEP INTO GETTING TO KNOW A VERY REAL PERSON IS BY GOING TO THEIR PROFILE AND CHECKING OUT THEIR PINNED TWEET. S, I, J, AND A SEEM TO HAVE A LOT IN COMMON! I WONDER IF THEY'RE FRIENDS!

HOW ABOUT A TOOL THAT SENDS THOUSANDS OF STUPID FAKE BOTS INTO EVERYONE'S NOTIFICATIONS WHERE THEY ACT TOTALLY NORMAL AND REAL SO AS TO LEAD PEOPLE TO YOUR FUCKASS GIVEAWAY?

everything old is new again

Dumping frozen ginger slices in a cheap knockoff white Monster FOR MORALE

What a guy

Substitute the word "sheeple" in wherever the word "Muggle" occurs, and maybe you'll find it more obvious how ugly the very core foundation of the series is. It's a cosy twee fantasy of being whisked off to Magical Eton for midnight feasts and adventures because you're *speshul*, not some *sheeple.*

Just because it's speaking to meek middle class nerds who likely HAVE run into Tall Poppy Syndrome from actual chud peers with apparently fuck all intellect or imagination, doesn't make the fantasy of superiority to "Muggles" any less odious than a 4Channer toxic geek's contempt for "normies".

Rowling going after a human rights organisation is 100% consistent with her sociopathically mocking portrayal of a human rights organisation, btw. SPEW wasn't just a little "problematic" misstep in her otherwise cool vision. That was a literal caricature of Amnesty & all such orgs from the get-go.

an unspoken law of the cis majority is "it's illegal for trans people to use the tools of this website against me"

Sowwy we called out the fascist transphobes 👉👈 they have too much scawy fascist money for Amnesty International sowwy trannies you’re rights just too expensive

Vinyl only release is too mainstream, you can only get my latest record by breaking in to someones car

ok jeg ser ikke på fotball og drar ikke på fotballting men jeg lover deg, hetero person som leser dette, at ikke en eneste skeiv person ble overrasket over tråden til robin her vi vet at "samler landet" ikke gjelder oss, det har det aldri gjort

The demonic entity known as Lindsey Graham departed his mortal form at 71 human years old. Graham was one of the biggest warmongers in the US Senate. He never wasted a moment to get on TV and promote senseless atrocities. May the ghosts of his victims haunt his soul for eternity.

I sink back beneath the waves, and the long wait starts over

the 21st centuries rise of ai proved the death of the author theory utterly debunked as we were quickly able to ascertain that in fact arts value flows directly from the human suffering of the author during the act of creation and an author must live to suffer

It's past my bed time

Now we see what a golf match gets you

With this hydration break thing, instead of swapping sides at half time they should rotate 90 degrees every 23mins

Football went out for a pack of smokes, he's not coming back lads.

:)

Harry Kane ACTUALLY admitted he went and played golf with Trump so beating England is not enough, Norway, I need Erling Haaland to actually eat Harry Kane

Timeline is about to be so silly tonight

Hey guys meta announced a new policy where they send a killer to get you so be sure to go to settings>my account > killer> disable killer to turn that off

Elder Nibling informs me that there is a TikTok trend of Americans soundtracking their posts with Pulp's "Common People" while commenting about how cool and alt they've learned to be and Not Like Other Girls/Guys and lol oh dear god have you ever actually listened to the lyrics, honeys?

the thing about llms is that they copy old work and have no ability to intentionally pursue lateral leaps of creative insight, so a world ruled by ai is a world of endless recycling of the past. imagine that. culture eating itself. imagine that. totalitarian nostalgia. imagine

Hvem av dere er dette?

Y'know who else was "a woman of strong principles"? Magda Goebbels. Doesn't mean we have to be nice about her.

Since this is making the rounds again I’ll plug the AMOT episode where Casella and I talked about Authority and then this paranoiac essay I wrote as a kind of a sequel to that discussion

Very pleased to learn that this photo of mine has been shortlisted in the 2026 Australian Photography Awards. Magnetite in waiting. Piles of magnetite (against a backdrop of a rusty red roof) waiting to be loaded onto a ship at the Whyalla steelworks.

Marie Claire actually left a prompt from an AI in one of their recent articles. While there’s still some great journalists and publications left, this is utterly shocking. No wonder I’m trying to pivot.

Instead of drowning our culture in ai Slop I think we need to return to Sloop! (John B by the Beach Boys)

My Bonnie Tyler-related story: years ago, in the "literal music video" era, my friend posted the one for Total Eclipse of the Heart on Facebook, and his mom made one of the funniest comments I've ever read: "This is only funny to people who have never experienced a real total eclipse of the heart."

The expanded class action suit accuses X “of shielding child predators by obstructing police investigations into Grok-generated child sex abuse materials (CSAM).” CW for descriptions of child harm and sexual assault.

SFF, we need to talk. I'm not here to rag specifically on Bona, who did the right thing by going public. No, I'm looking at all of you. Or at least, 15 of you. Because this right here? This is buckwild.

the microplastics in me see and acknowledge the microplastics in you

i absolutely understand *not wanting to watch* the show due to its disturbing themes, but complaining about the *existence* of said themes, in The Disturbing Themes Show, is a wild problem to be having three seasons in.

heads up this is what AI's doing to people using it, for everything, clearly no matter what they ask "its opinion" about, which in some ways worse than their side projects includes things like giving them confidence they're right in a personal disagreement or bad life decisions video is by husk irl

what in the shit was that

She's called the queen of the damned because when you see her you say damn queen

I think late diagnosed autistic people who genuinely believe that early diagnosis is a privilege should do the math, look up what the treatments and attitudes toward autism were like in their youth, and explain exactly what they believe they missed out on and what their outcome would have been.
