Sometimes I question whether my ADHD medication actually does anything for me and then I forget to take it for a day and oh yeah it definitely does some shit for me

“We hope Bluesky and other platforms recognize that automated moderation systems are being weaponized by the CCP. We urge these platforms to build mechanisms capable of detecting state-level coordinated attacks, rather than forcing victims to bear the consequences of being silenced again and again.”

Teacher Li responds here to a new OpenAI report on Chinese influence operations, which shows among other things “that the CCP has preemptively registered the usernames of well-known dissidents on Bluesky”: x.com/whyyoutouzhe... Report:

I’m still atheist but I do pray every night to every god I’ve ever heard of to take Trump to whatever he’ll may await him Bit of a Pascal’s wager situation

Just had the joy of telling my wife about the FIFA World Peace Prize

I don't really feel morally superior for getting off of Twitter before a lot of people, but I DO feel a little bit morally superior that I did it despite my only available alternative at the time being Mastodon.

Maybe Jill or someone would like to tell us about how this isn't indicative of the paper's viewpoints.

PARAMOUNT DOWNGRADED TO JUNK BY FITCH; RATINGS ON NEG. WATCH

"Riding in a golf cart fatly" is a ridiculous phrase that is also profoundly poetic and it will be the "rosebud" of my deathbed.

Just wanted you guys to see “Riding in a golf cart fatly”

I know this is not even a little bit the point, but it really speaks to how unprofessional our current government is that their formatting looks this shit.

If I make it through this administration without picking up smoking again, I'm going to celebrate with a well deserved cigarette

As an old forum user, reddit absolutely did not replicate the forum experience for me, am curious if that has been the case for others

felt like typing that url into my navigation bar was a bit of a gamble

I'll walk into a fire before I hand it to Nick Fuentes, pre-emptive fuck off to anyone who tries to rehab that little rat shit

BREAKING: SCOTUS blocks New York state court redistricting order, over the strong dissent of the Democratic appointees.

My mom just got the shareholder package for the Netflix/WB deal that is now dead, timely as always.

hoooo boy

Gonna be a slight buzzkill in the interest of people having a more accurate picture of what happened: Microsoft blocked the term "microslop" and locked down the server because people were doing forum raid style spamming with text walls etc.

Both Hamilton and Franklin woulda had Trump hanged.

Half baked theory that as the diet industry dries up with the advent of GLP-1s the batshit wellness and "fitness" diet industries are going to soak up a lot of the slack

Ah yes, the famous "nuclear deterrent," which of course means many weapons to deter other countries from stopping development of a nuclear bomb, a victory condition that ends the game.

Ahahahahaha yes, at least things remains incredibly stupid in addition to incredibly bad (they're merging the HBO and Paramount apps which means they will inevitably be rebranding the app yet again)

I do think this is all technically impressive, but in the same way a graphics demo is, which is to say I don't actually give a shit about what's in the demo even though it is technically impressive.

Doom scrolling is cheugy; I'm doom maxxing

It is extremely telling that this dude defines loser as “not making a lot of money.” This really sums up this whole set’s worldview.

Wow so they just really didn’t think Iran would punch back lmao

K just gonna ignore the dumber pandering stuff and focus on her saying she wants to go after zoning and make it “as easy to build in this state as it is to get a driver’s license.” Sounds good to me.

This administration is 💯 going to lose the original copy of the constitution to some zany caper

Can’t wait for too online journalists to explain how it isn’t reflective of the nytimes’ biases that the president having that rash won’t get the kind of coverage about presidential health that a doctor going to the White House to discuss Parkinson’s policy did for Biden

So is Mamdani’s stage name Mayor Cardamom now?

I had shingles in September and you know that saying "i wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy"? Turns out it's not true in this case!

Love the liberal justices leaning in and saying "why yes Bruen is crazy as shit, enjoy the world you made"

Gorsuch is one of the only conservative justices who actually has some principles, even if I think many of those principles suck.

Aight, saw someone call Ro Khanna the 2028 front runner and that's it, I don't believe most of the users of this website are real people anymore. Full believer in the empty internet now.

This is what I do with pronouns in emails as well; my real name is gender neutral and I point out its obviously helpful for people who are making their acquaintance with me for the first time. Does help people see it as a purely practical thing.

As a one-time Colin Powell respecter, him burning his legacy to sell a fake war was more mind boggling if you recall he was one of the people at the White House during GWWB who was against invading Iraq as part of Desert Storm b/c he accurately predicted it would be a quagmire that Bush would own.

I am so, so much more likely to get killed by an agent of the US Federal Government than I am by Iran that I find it difficult to quantify.

BlueSky's servers are shitting the bed, so if your post doesn't have any likes, know in your heart I liked your post but it didn't register.

I really, really need people to understand that if you are on BlueSky you are not the audience for "we shouldn't bomb Iran because it increases the cost of gas" messaging Do none of you have politically idiotic relatives who complain about foreign aid spending when we have homeless vets?

The Secretary of Bourbon referring to US casualties in a war of choice as "a squirter [making its way] through" is going to live rent free in my mind for the rest of my life.

From a glass half full perspective, now Kuwait knows its air defense systems are good enough to intercept a F15. That's not nothing

I guess it's a nice change of pace to wake up on Monday and see an argument so dumb it makes me angry rather than some fresh horror to anger or terrify me. Kind of undermined by the horror from the weekend continuing, though.

Remember: If you are a billionaire, a wealth tax and cap are for your *own protection.* The income tax rate at the end of a pitchfork is 100%.

Also, to the extent there is a media literacy problem broadly in America, this is not indicative of it. "Media literacy" doesn't mean that the industry gets to set the terms of how the public perceives its editorial decisions, including whom it publishes on what topics.

I'm sorry, this is horseshit. The NYTimes is not obligated to give any of these people a platform. They are supporting it by giving them an opportunity to publish on their *opinion* pages.

Image classifier that has only been trained on pictures of scary drones: Getting a lot of scary drone vibes from this

Not to turn everything into a Costco post, but: Costco is carrying an ebike in warehouse right now. Always working hard to save members money.

this is beyond satire
