I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work.

I fear that the legal community will act like Trump admin's lawyers are normal lawyers--like they'll get nice firm jobs and their law schools will invite them to talk to students, etc--but the lawyers facilitating Trump's lawlessness should be professionally and socially shamed

Look, it's October. Spirit Halloween is everywhere. Swing by one and pick up some ridiculous costumes to wear at the protest. It's your duty as a Spooky American.

The thing about "prompt engineering" is that you don't even need AI to do it. Just write the prompt. I can write stegosaurus-with-huge-naturals.jpg and your mind does the rest

deleting *this* post is such incredible "put it in the paper that i'm not mad" energy—it doesn't even tag Jay. i'm so serious: deeply cooked website

I have one: Social media is a bizarre mix of advertising and journaling. I think it's been bad for creator's mental health that much of the advertising has been offloaded onto them to do through social media.

Asexuality is queer. Aromanticism is queer. Aplatonicism is queer.

You can read Recipes for Disaster, our compendium of direct action tactics, in both English and Portuguese: crimethinc.com/recipes This "anarchist cookbook" details an array of ways to make the world a better place. Get a print copy as an insurance policy in case something happens to the internet.

We don't need a new slur for AI boosters. We already have a term for engineers that think AI is alive: incompetent

You know, I just prefer teams that don't lose playoff games

I need everyone to understand that you *cannot* call in to a large retail store. You will get a call center in the global south that will misrepresent themselves as being at the location. They will not be communicating with anyone actually at the location.

I'm not going to lie. I am extremely disappointed to find out that "Helsing SG-1" refers to an autonomous submersible rather than what would have been a gloriously insane crossover TV series.
