I fucking hate to do this again, but I can't get any of my back SSI/SSDI funds anytime soon while looking for a new social worker and will be absolutely broke during the holidays. I also need $80 for my share of the utilities, which is more important. Please help if you can. Venmo: @susantkeiser

When the AI boom began, copywriters were singled out as one of the jobs most vulnerable to AI. Now, three years later, I wanted to hear from workers on the frontlines of the industry, to hear what had actually taken place on the ground. For many, it was even worse than they'd feared.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Boots is a great show. The Marines were a particular way that I could escape my folks. If you haven't lived it, I don't know you can really understand it.

I love the tree brain!

Computer scientists: "So with machine learning we can extract subtle patterns from massive datasets. What shall we do with it?" Business school professors, every single time: "You know, I think phrenology got a raw deal in the late 1800s."

The other reporters in the White House press corps are apparently waiting until the president actually takes a swing at one of their female colleagues before they say anything

“I didn’t expect so many people would be so risk-averse.”

I like seeing what films people have seen more than 6 times. It's also really nice when you put the name of the film in the alt text, so I know what it is! 👍

Remaining politically unbiased requires staying neutral on matters like evidence, relevant past behavior, clear patterns, obvious lies, and observable truth, which is worth remembering whenever somebody starts complaining about political bias.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

No-strings-attached, zero-means-testing, no-questions-asked cash payouts have been proven, over and over again, to be the most effective form of charity/aid going. It gets people in housing, and it saves the state money. We know this. It's fact, not theory.

When Trump nods off in cabinet meetings everyone is else should just put their heads down and pretend it’s in the agenda.

Last post of the night about this from me. After you support the non-profits important to you today, consider being one of the 12 donors we need to reach our goal. Even the cost of a veggie McRib extra value meal helps, because it's the number of folks not amount. www.givecampus.com/schools/Carn...

“There’s a huge opportunity here if Trump acts in a way he has never acted and shows mental faculties he has never demonstrated having” is a very popular genre of think piece

I really hate this man. I hope the only remembrance of him when he goes, is the public restroom that is his grave.

If you like books but wish they were cheaper, allow me to introduce you to: Used books. If you like second-hand books but wish they were free: Libraries. If you like reading but can't get to a used bookstore and won't support the library (it knows what it did!): Scroll X and go slowly insane

That smells great

Didn't enjoy Nosferatu like I thought I would. Ah well.

where i come down on this is that his films aren’t meant to make us feel good or happy and they aren’t speaking to the better angels of our natures. but we aren’t just the better angels. the parts of us that like Tarantino will demand exercise no matter what, and let’s be real, we exercise them here

JD Vance throwing around "inshallah" to get Trump's attention

Properties meant for children don't need to have "dark & edgy" versions of them to appeal to adults, adults need to learn how to have fun again.

Normal people are not doing this. Stupid rich people maybe. The rest of us are out here trying to calculate how much less gas you can put in the tank for $30, and can I make it to the end of the week with what I can afford. @nytpitchbot.bsky.social

Frankenstein is really well done. Top notch performance, writing, all of it. Ome of those shows you'd like to individually thank the cast and crew for making.

The Department of Unsubtle Metaphors continues to exceed expectations

When DHS dared to call its anti-immigrant racial profiling weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina, “Operation Charlotte’s Web,” I knew I was going to have to write about it. Tonight, at Law Dork, here it is: www.lawdork.com/p/gregory-bo...

relatedly, ralph nader deserves to be remembered for the rest of time as someone who voluntarily assisted in a critical attack on american democracy, the importance of which far outweighs any of his consumer advocacy

I absolutely do on a personal level want to see everyone who *is* a liberal or Democrat in the Epstein files/emails exiled/purged. Summers, all of them, whoever they are - we don't need these people and they are part of what's been dragging our cause down and losing us moral mandates.

You’ve probably heard this claim: Climate’s always changing! It's true, Earth’s climate has changed before. But not this fast, and not for this reason. Introducing Cold Facts, Hot Takes: my new series of evidence-based replies to common troll takes 🔥 Want the whole episode? Links below ⬇️

this country will not be healed until genuinely rich and powerful people start experiencing genuinely severe consequences for their evil actions. these people will only respond to force. And no, don’t tell me it’s somehow impossible - the U.S. is by no means exceptional in this regard, either.

The whole war on “woke” and “cancel culture” was contrived to protect the worst people in our society and make it possible for them to keep doing despicable things to other people.

Holy shit.

in case you're wondering how the cope is going www.mediamatters.org/megyn-kelly/...

Look, I think a situation in which national guard troops are tasked with conceiving and implementing retail wld be a huge improvement. Dude in full battle rattle manning the perfume counter, masked soldier asking if you’d like to try a cheese sample…

Today marks the first time I've forgotten the Marine Corps Birthday. I'll haze myself later.

Heh. The machines might have the upper hand right now, but never fear: I have a plan. (I sit back and smirk while a giant robot destroys the city until it’s clear I’m not going to do anything)

Imagine coming off an incredible Election Day mandate from coast to coast and going 'you know what voters want? to be completely sold out by a bunch of craven cowards too pathetic to hold the line against a bunch of fucking weirdos'

Hate poverty, not the people who live in it

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen. Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

Article: "New reporting indicates that feckless dickhead Chuck Schumer is preparing to cave once again like the spineless fucking cretin he is, more Democraps expected to follow like the lemmings they are, right off the cliff into total fascist rule" Bluesky posters: finally, an objective analysis

Trade offs have to be made. Sometimes you've just got to sacrifice the safety of American commercial aviation on the eve of a mass travel holiday in order to keep the neediest people unfed and uninsured

Begging people to quit falling for shit Republican backed media trying to wishcast bullshit happenings.

Promising Young Woman does not have a happy ending.

Fuck it, Star Wars discourse grenade: saying the Jedi failed Anakin and didn't give him all the support he needed to stay good and so really it's their fault is basically the same two-step the media does when every white teen boy school shooter was clearly a troubled soul who needed understanding.
