trying to switch off the AI bloatware that has been pinned to the top of every single menu in every single app

Just gutted to hear about the loss of Alice Wong today. I wouldn't be who I am today without the work and presence of other disabled folk, including Alice. Our community weeps. 💖

Just an incalculable loss from which we won’t soon recover. Alice was the best of us and I hope we all do (or keep doing) the kind of good work that burnishes her memory. Fuck ableism. “Don’t let the bastards grind you down.”

youtube's autodubbing may be one of the most heinous and unnecessary features, I hate it so much and WHY IS IT AUTOMATICALLY ENABLED 😭

my gf and I are on the season of Angel where Cordelia is pregnant with Connor's child and frankly I need Joss Whedon to be stoned in the town square for this

there's something just so aesthetic about pulling up to the gym in hello kitty sweatpants and leg pressing >550lbs

nothing improves your perceptions of your first nightmare pet more than a second pet because why does this new mf not understand the concept of "no" like damn

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

im sorry bbno$ for thinking you were just a walking meme and not a musician I was truly not familiar with your game

I finally removed my relationship status with my partner on fb and IMMEDIATELY AFTER the tab appeared for fb dating. perhaps learn to read the room, meta, jesus christ

my woke take is that entirely too many people feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract while not feeling bound by the responsibilities of said contract

Nurse at my vax appt: How are you today? Me: alright N: Feeling healthy? Me: yep N: no health conditions? Me: oh no, so many

ssis is turning me evil

TFW you clean all the floors in your house and you can walk barefoot without the immediate need to put socks on 😌

I cannot express how many fucking times I've been excited to start a movie on crave only to find out it's the fucking french dub version and there's no english version available. me and my gf fucking hate you

sometimes I think I'm kinda strong and then I am immediately humbled by the cable machine

welp in the last 24 hours my girlfriend and I have killed 30 flies and have torn my house apart looking for the source but haven't found anything so if you'll excuse me I'm going to go have nightmares about maggots

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

listen you might feel ugly today but I guarantee your lesbian gf does not think you are

tsk all y'all downing Tylenol to get on my level when I was born this way, au naturale

that feeling when you ask for something and you get it but it feels like a curling finger on a monkey paw

me, watching life of chuck: I feel nothing me, the same night, seeing a man with a blow up alien on the front of his motorbike that he turns to wave at me: actually humankind is beautiful

one of my favourite things about DS9 is its insistence that Garak, that spiteful and mean old queen, likes women

there isn't much that's more humbling than finding out your hyperlexic ass has been pronouncing yet another word wrong your entire life because you obtained your entire extended vocabulary through reading

I hope y'all know that when you use AI to make your promotional materials it literally makes me not want to interact at all with you, your products, your event, whatever you are promoting.

the cool thing about nonmonogamy is that when you get dumped by the Guy Whose Idea This Was, you also have a girlfriend that can come hold you while you cry

ME: Hmm, I’m feeling really restless and anxious for some reason. THE SCREAMING HORRORS: OOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHUUURRRRRROOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWHHHHHHHUUUUUUURRRAA ME: *avoiding eye contact with the screaming horrors* Maybe I should book a tattoo

a discord is not a forum. I don't want to join your product's community; I want to read the solution to my technical problem from two posters who worked it out 4 years ago

Happy Labor Day! Today we're bringing you The First Union, as told by HBomberguy (@hbomberguy.bsky.social) and illustrated by Skutch (@skutchdraws.bsky.social) It's the dawn of the industrial revolution, and of the way many of us work... Have you ever heard of the term "Luddite" from an elder?

HAPPY LABOR DAY REMEMBER THAT YOUR RIGHTS AS A WORKER WERE HARD WON AND ARE NOT GUARANTEED. SOLIDARITY IS EVERYTHING - TALK ABOUT YOUR WAGES WITH YOUR COWORKERS, UNIONIZE WHERE YOU CAN, AND REMEMBER NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT YOU AND THEY WANT TO MAKE YOU FORGET THAT. DON'T LET THEM.

I s2g if I get another sexy watto on my feed I'm going to lose it 😭

former kids who read too many books and didnt know how to pronounce the words you learned gang say hey

don't get me wrong I love unions but why does everyone in the UFCW commercial look like they're being interviewed at gunpoint

kpop demon hunters had no business being that good wtf

me, to my gf: wait you gotta watch all the things I sent you gf: where? me: on tiktok, not insta. I give all my data to the Chinese, not meta, c'mon

does alexander skarsgard show dong send tweet

I hope this movie makes a billion dollars

good news: I will not be unemployed at Christmastime bad news: my new contract ends on my birthday month

I need everyone to know right now that I hated AI before it was cool

Support your public library. Defend your public library. Slay the enemies of your public library.

I'm not sure how I injured my ankle this week but no matter how it happened I know I made it way worse by enthusiastically tapping my foot to the MCR discography on a road trip and now I might need someone to punch it back in place

This is one of my favorite paintings, from any painter, ever. Not only is she crushing Mein Kampf, but the arc of her rivet gun's cable also evokes a serpent being crushed under her heel - even while the rivet gun herself is laid on her apron like Christ on the lap of the Virgin Mary.

Honestly I've started writing the most unhinged cover letters because at least maybe this way I'll fucking get noticed.

I've discovered that using hydrocolloid patches on mosquito bites makes them go down quicker and as a person that welts like a motherfucker this has saved my life this summer

microsoft you really don't have to try to make me hate you, I'm already there, but you really seem to be amping up the effort

the job hunt is sucking the life out of me lol
