Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

In the past day I’ve heard two people who really should know better say they asked ChatGPT for factual info. ChatGPT is not a search engine. It is predictive text based on other people’s stolen writing; its whole job is to make stuff up. Please do not ask it for facts. Tell a friend.

Hey folks, a reminder: Don't use Gen ai. You can either afford an artist/stock art, or you can't. If you can't, you can make your own art/designs or abstain. Or you can cheaper your entire brand and communicate to your audience that you peddle low-effort garbage by using a plagiarism machine.

"Fuck your feelings" but also please come to thanksgiving, we miss you and our vote had nothing to do with you, honey.

if you voted for trump, or excuse those who did, people in your orbit know you’re not safe. When the chips are down, you’ll sell out your loved ones and then retreat to your self-exonerating excuses. You already did it when the chips weren’t down. You’re unsafe, and dangerous times are coming. Bye.
