Just found out that a drug dealer I knew when I was younger now posts inspirational quotes and life advice on LinkedIn

at this point i am very much in danger of being okay with having been catholic

Everybody be quiet and look at this baby toucan.

We are going to win! This stuff can and will be brought to a halt. None of it is inevitable. Anthropic cannot afford to slow down. It has to grow to at least $100bn a year in revenue or it doesn’t have a hope in hell of paying its compute bills. Same for clammy little Altman.

Uber’s COO has said that it’s getting “harder to justify” its AI costs because there was no way to show a link between AI spend and any meaningful increase in useful features. This is the first time I’ve seen a company say this directly. www.businessinsider.com/uber-coo-and...

"Blackbird" - personal work, inspired by my hometown. Blackbirds are my favourite - they sing so beautifully. #blackbird #birds #dandelion #art #DigitalArt

“The Al is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you”

Reviewers in two groups were given identical resumes for Emily Clarke and James Clarke and told they had used AI. Emily's was 2x as likely to raise doubts about competence. "She can't even write a CV herself." But James "just needed a bit of help." fortune.com/2026/05/10/i...

This needs too be normalized at conventions.

Women! Sheesh! (complimentary)

We haven't had to fire any shots so it's not obvious but a blockade of this magnitude would generally be considered an act of war. We did not do this in the 1962 missile crisis, we allowed ships not carrying weapons to proceed to Cuba

Seeing misinformation out there saying Microsoft moved off of Claude Code because of token-based billing. This isn’t true - everyone was moved to GitHub Copilot CLI (basically GHCP Claude Code), and everyone still has access to Anthropic models, though sources hear rumors about token limits.

them: the lore for elder scrolls is so deep and meaningful 😍 maiq the liar: me and my friends would've killed frodo baggins with hammers i can tell you that much

South Carolina just passed an age surveillance law requiring platforms to estimate users' age with 90% confidence every 100 hours, meaning they are fine if they get it wrong 10% of the time 😃👍

This headline is hilarious when you learn that the rocket toppled over in a fiery explosion on landing

one interesting thing so far about loudly hating AI is the way AI lovers are like "wow so you're just totally closed off to hearing another perspective??" as if their perspective hasn't been relentlessly pushed down our throats with no space to push back (particularly in professional settings)

Make the data center a public sex forest

When I say I will never vote for Gavin Newsom. When I say I’d take another Republican congress over Democrats that abandon trans people. This is why. When your largest left of center party goes the way of Labour in the UK, you’ve lost all hope. I will never do it.

Remember we have their ear right now. They're already requesting public comments on debankment practices. Go file.

"what will memes be like in the future" memes in the future:

This is what they wanted from the beginning. This was always the goal.

One more thing: Starbucks signed its (now failed) deal with NomadGo in September 2025, months after the SBUX CEO gave this remarkable quote acknowledging he badly misjudged the power of technology. So what happened? Who is ever held accountable? www.theguardian.com/business/202...

From the Starbucks subreddit 9 months before the company dropped its AI inventory count tool. www.reddit.com/r/starbucks/...

NEW — My first true foray into AI haterdom is about how those of us not convinced by AI’s inevitability are a real constituency worthy of a voice. Give it a read:

my gf works corporate and is on a training about AI and there's a word cloud for "what do you use AI for." the largest word by far is "Nothing" and the trainer is PISSED

AI is the lynchpin of the whole political project. It’s the container for the parallel governance they have promised each other. I truly think that they are surprised that people don’t like it…and that they can’t yet wholesale punish everyone for not liking them.

They're just like us

everyone thought they weren’t releasing the DNC 2024 report because they didn’t want to admit palestine effected the election but it turns out they didn’t release it because the 1 person who actually worked on it used chatgpt to fake the report in its entirety

huh, wonder why Meta just gave Xavier Becerra a million dollars for his california governor primary

Watching an "Ulfric was right" video while I eat breakfast and just realized that he's the kind of Libertarian who probably knows the age of consent in every hold.

January 2020 has become my benchmark - there were already signs of the GOP pivot to anti-trans politics as their top issue, but no legislation had been passed in any state. If you think trans people had too many rights six years ago, there's no common ground on which we can meet.

AI enthusiast: [gets laid off] Woah woah woah! Not what I had in mind haha you were supposed to lay off all the NPCs! I am not an NPC! Wait, why am I seeing the dialog options in reverse.

We’re going to be seeing a lot more of this sentiment. Do not trust these people.

This is what your neighborhood will be like after your representatives sign that Flock contract. Get involved before it's too late.

FIFA painted over a beloved Wyland mural of whales, one of just 100 in the world, to advertise for the World Cup. Apparently without talking to anyone before doing so. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

“time and again, attacks on lawful adult platforms lead to more dangerous conditions. Sex workers are not served by policies that deny them agency, income and dignity. The fight against non-consensual content can only be won by recognizing the right of sex workers to engage in consensual labor.”

this was HR 2616 which also bans books by or about trans and nonbinary people from schools START CALLING YOUR SENATORS NOW CIS FRIENDS TRANS KIDS NEED YOU

Today, Mark Zuckerberg's Meta laid off over 7,900 employees — 10% of its global workforce. Let's be clear: this isn't about "efficiency." It's about treating workers as disposable while a billionaire pockets the wealth they built.
