Lmfao every AI defense piece is like "AYY I FUCKIN SUCK BRO HOPEFULLY THIS FUCKIN STEAL YOUR SHIT MACHINE WILL MAKE ME SUCK SLIGHTLY LESS OK"

I always say Thank You when I ask Siri to set an alarm. (this is the extent of my use, besides "Hey Siri, how many Lynel's are in Breath of the Wild?") But today is the day that I am raining down expletives like brimstone on any Automated Service Simulator that asks me "How can I help you today?"

This is just an ad for his drug company. Why do we need middlemen to make drugs cheaper? Other middlemen. Billionaires are not your friends.

It should not be such a hassle to cancel a Dish Network account for someone who is dead.

"Your Idol" is a better song than "Golden"

You are carrying the water of right wing influencers. This is how they get legitimized. Your subsequent engagement is not worth it. Please, stop putting these people's faces next to your logo. There is no more balance. They are dragging you over the cliff into fascism. Stop running toward the edge.

Aside from the ridiculousness of this whole idea - I will never, ever purchase anything made by Kohler again.

Woke up today thinking about Freehand and Macromedia in general. Good times.

“Elf on the shelf santaverse” is a thing I just heard Fucking what

I remember it being a hell of a lot easier to move routes around on Google maps. Is it me?

I feel like this means something.

All of a sudden, old calendars that I thought I'd deleted years ago have been resurrected in Google Calendar as it syncs with my Apple Calendar. Three rounds of deletions and, for the first time since it came out I'm considering getting rid of Google Calendar. Why is this suddenly happening?

Door Dash ad on my food / calorie tracker app is lame.

Cloudfare, like AWS, touches too much of the Internet.

Nightmarish idea for a startup tbh

I am begging you: buy a notebook and pen. www.wired.com/story/sandba...

huh, how about that.

Did you get a voting day donut? Awwww. hbflyte.com/2025/11/04/t...

If you want a perfect example of the aging up of YA fiction to appeal to adult readers at the exclusion of teen readers, it's getting rid of any references to the specific ages of the teen characters in the Six of Crows duology. www.tumblr.com/vilecemetery...

(7/X) You know the old quote about why do you rob banks? Because that's where the money is. Why do "free speech" people try to appeal to cranky reactionary old men? Because that's where the money is.

This. It's amazing how the struggle to build the perfect project changes both you and thing you create. The first draft is always the worst, and many of your favorite movie moments happened because of accidents and compromises. The type of person to use this just doesn't know what art is.

Gonna rule when I need to pick up laundry detergent and have to talk to an AI version of Kevin Hart for 39 minutes instead of just going to the shelf

"The AI Revolution has started" declares a lady on LinkedIn. "Welcome to the AI Age. How does that make you feel?" It makes me feel that people who have invested an awful lot of money in a very dodgy and unethical technology are starting worry that 'Fetch' simply won't happen.

Companies should be required to clearly state when audio, video or text is 1) machine-generated 2) machine-processed Not just news reports, industry white papers or engineering designs, but also legal documents, Facebook posts and TikTok videos.

Universities are moving rapidly to comply with laws that don't exist.

Can we get an alt-text for acronyms and initialisms?

I'm about to go to a funeral service and I came on here to express my sadness of that and that I just found out that Maru passed, but after reading a few posts, I realized that this world didn't deserve Maru nor my stepfather.

this exists it is called thinking

Relying on the wearable is the cognitive disadvantage and this guy knows it.

I read this book and wrote a post. If you're a writer, you may find Stephen Marche's book On Writing and Failure a necessary read/reread. #amwriting #amreading #writing hbflyte.com/2025/09/13/b...

Day three of the media pretending that Charlie Kirk believed in free speech and failing to note that his signature political project was the creation of McCarthyite watchlists of college professors to harass out of their jobs and out of society. bsky.app/profile/nyti...

Also, is it me or has any meaningful work in UX design just disappeared into the ether? I feel like every online form I have to fill out, or every new app I have to use, comes with a healthy dose of "this is ugly and unusable."

Putting everyone's schedule on a single Google Calendar, all the same blobs of color, makes no sense to me. I have no idea what I'm looking at. I can't read this, and I can't change it.

I would not use it at my job I would not let it email Bob It would not write my resume It would not text my mom, OK? It can't say if the Chiefs will cover I do not want it as a lover I do not want it in my phone I'd just as soon be left alone I do not like ChatGPT! I do not like it, Sam-are-we

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".

The T- and Y-intersections are curious because, depending upon your route, their turns are either intentional or inevitable.

The only puberty blockers allowed in the United States is being a human shield for other children. So proud, I guess. Middle schoolers are lauded for protecting younger kids during church shooting www.npr.org/2025/08/28/n...

still wild to me that UBI isn’t like the default left of center position

The current situation in DC, according to Republicans -got beaten up by two teenagers, need to declare martial law -saw some black people on the way to the golf course, need to declare martial law -had a sandwich thrown at them, need to declare martial law Such a strong and virile party.

Just read that again: AI tech bosses are choosing not to have children because they don't think the world will be around much longer. WHY are we inviting this monstrous tech into all levels of education? Why are we blithely going along with Big Tech as it tells us we cannot do without AI? WHY?

AI is going to eat everything so that the only repositories of knowledge we have are books. But the subsequent destruction of our environment will make sure those books either drown or burn. Hail Hydra, I guess.

Dear working parent, you can have this 12-pack of ramen or one serving of fresh pasta for the same price. Which do you ch—- Why are we’ll still asking the question when the answer is that no one has money or time to eat like a god damn “health conscious” legacy fuck. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

White women have always been the some of the best enforcers of patriarchal society because they believe it gives them security. Our internal misogyny is so strong that its one more area in life where women assume all the labor with little benefit.

AI and students? Better get the chair for equine administration at the business school on the phone! What the fuck, can you not talk to one writing professor? www.npr.org/2025/08/06/g...

fastforward to tech companies marketing various AI Guards, AI Filters and AI Firewalls, the one tool they will finally make some money off!

Btw, I call this the "I wish I could do art" syndrome. Every artist has inevitably heard this as someone examines their art. They are almost always unconsciously lying. They don't wish they could do art. They wish they could have the products of doing art, with none of the practice or investment.

All government web sites (and I'm specifically focused on the local and state, those which people interact with regularly) should have a glossary of terms. Just hover over "letters of testimony" and a definition pops up. This will save so many headaches and phone calls to staff.

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

This is truly depressing... Look at how they abused these amazing photos by @nickybay.bsky.social ... Everyone needs to be super extra careful when sharing or liking cool/pretty/funny stuff anywhere.
