Want to quantum-charge your AI efficacy? This one weird trick can reverse the polarity of the neutron flow and leave your competition in the dust! I accept all forms of untraceable currency and my proven methods are definitely not illegal or contrary to the fundamental laws of physics.

Connie Schultz once wrote about how someone wrote her an email about how he saw her going into Sherrod Brown's hotel room, and that he was going to write about how she was a reporter sleeping with a senator. She told him to go right ahead, but maybe also mention that she's married to the senator.

Sometimes stepping through a wardrobe into another world is fun. And sometimes you end up in an office building where everyone eats tiny cookie versions of you for lunch. That's all they eat. And wherever you go, the people call you Big Cookie and they unhinge their jaws and they can run pretty fast

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

If the ex who slept etc. starts yelling at your shitty neighbor to step letting his feral dog roam the neighborhood biting people, you can appreciate the assistance without welcoming them into your house. The enemy of my enemy may be strategically useful, but that doesn't make them my friend.

Hard not to laugh a little at the staffers debating the morality of wanting to get involved to stop a genocide in an African nation, knowing that they almost certainly wouldn't be doing the same today about the current one. Maybe Josh & CJ might, actually. Maybe.

Someone pay me to say transphobic things, I'll take the money and tell everyone "They paid me money to say x y and z, so here's me saying x, y and z, which I don't believe in but I've said it now, so they can get to fuck."

I wouldn't be at all surprised if they think "Americans" did it, because pop culture overwhelmingly portrays slavery as a thing that the USA was built on, conveniently ignoring that it was the British Empire (& others) actually doing it long before the States were a twinkle in Washington's eye.

As always, today is a good day to support artists, writers, creators. If you have the means, maybe consider signing up for a Patreon. Buy a book, a game, a painting. Commission a new piece. Tell a creator what they mean to you. Signal boost their work.

"if you build something new, you purchase the components --" i cannot help but see Open AI's insistence that they have a right to use all "content" as connected to the online environment of the past 20 years that has made photos, video, music, and writing feel "free" and therefore valueless.

Y'all need to have the same kind of smoke for AI Music as you have for AI Art. Okay? Music is an extremely important part of artistic human expression, and we must not allow it to rot away because 'it sounds just like the real thing' or whatever. Musicians are going through it too. Fuck AI.

We never acknowledge how masterfully white supremacist billionaires managed to destroy social media as an organizer tool and completely atomized us. Twitter & tiktok had to be sold. Meta already belonged to them and this app here is a poor man's Twitter but coded to prevent educating and organizing

As a trans-owned bookstore, we're tired, y'all. I wish I had something poignant to say for Trans Awareness Week in the face of all these attacks, but I don't. I feel so much grief & anger. To my trans siblings, I love y'all. Anyway, read trans books, celebrate trans life, & protect one another.

Today is not the day to argue "oh so you want Reform to win then" as an argument for Labour's indefensible and inhumane anti-asylum policies. At least be honest and own that you're defending racist policies promoted with genuinely far right talking points. Don't try and pretend this is "progressive"

Tommy Robinson openly celebrating Labour's new asylum seekers policy should tell everyone exactly how far right Labour are now. Labour, Reform and Tories are all the same. Right wing parties only interested in making money for their donors. Do not vote Labour.
