Holy shit. This guy saved a PNG to a bird. (he drew a bird into a spectrogram, played that sound to a starling, and the starling reproduced it back to him with enough accuracy he got his bird drawing back in their call's spectrogram) www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCQC...

REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.

1) 99.99999% of artists/writers/actors/creative people in general don't make anywhere NEAR as much money as most people think we do. The vast majority of us are making well below a living wage from our work. 2) Follower count does not translate into sales. You'd think it would, but it just doesn't.

Apologies for being pushy but my doctor just ordered an ultrasound for a mass and I will need help covering the cost + transportation.

🗡️ Your rage is not mine

Hey guys. Im sorry to do this but I cant currently afford medical expenses & treatment. I've been unable to properly work & im struggling just to get by. My neurologist has recently set up a treatment plan & I can't afford injection supplies, copays, or transportation. Thank you gofund.me/18405ce8

Life is hard right now. Here are baby bunnies making biscuits. (Or a carrot cake. 🥹🥹🥹)

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Intersex people keep getting pushed out of conversations about bodily autonomy, queer solidarity, and general queer activism. Everyone talks over us and tries to exclude us, even in supposedly "safe" spaces for gender minorities. It sucks. Uplift intersex voices. We're getting attacked, too.

did more studies on him. last one i got a great idea for his plugs. . . . #robotoc

Because it might be helpful: If anyone is looking for an AI-free, clean writing tool Ellipsus is super good. It's meant for writers, but I use it as a Google Docs alternative. ellipsus.com

Also you don't have to be Jewish to apply:

I had to stop oil painting because I couldn't adequately ventilate my space. Even in college opening the windows in the studio didn't stop the fumes from making me woozy. ("Odorless" mineral spirits absolutely stinks.)

The new regime's racism just helped inspire what I predict will be the Blackity Blackest Black History Month in a while. Reposting this photo to commemorate the festivities. Also, a whole mood. #LiftEveryChairandSwing

Being disabled isn’t some abstract concept. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” their way out of. It’s something that can happen to anyone at any time. Once it happens to you, you will understand how little support exists. Help us & your future self will thank you.

everything is so shitty, read this story about a genuinely good man who saw he had an opportunity to save millions of lives and threw himself into doing so. the world is full of heroes like him.

The escalation of this is absolutely bananas and legitimately one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen

Don’t know if I ever shared this lineup because two of the poses are traced but I don’t care anymore

kpop song really sounded like my vampire brothers so...

I like to picture that my vampire cult all look different as bats. (I picked the bats on vibes not blood drinking accuracy)

this is what writing a pitch feels like.

!! COSPLAY RESOURCE -- FABRIC SHOPS LIST !! We're all super sad about Joann Fabrics closing... now's a great time to start making that list of other places to shop for fabrics online! Some of my personal favorites: 🧵⬇️

Bloomberg is reporting that federal workers tasked with approving medical devices for Medicare have reportedly received termination notices. As a wheelchair user who also uses some other assistive devices (canes, shower chairs, that sort of thing) I want to add some context to this.

the discourse on whether the economy is actually good or bad is ridiculous to me bc even if you showed me a graph that somehow conclusively proved the economy was Good i could still walk through my city and see people living in tents on the side of the road and in every public park

Neither here (nor there)

HEADLINE: CDC posts, then deletes, data on bird flu spread between cats and people. The data which appeared fleetingly online on Wednesday, confirmed transmission in two households. It is evident the CDC is being muzzled SO let’s talk about what YOU can do to PROTECT yourself AND your pets. 🧪🧵 ⬇️

Very funny to me how jurassic park 1 very loudly says "these are animals forced into a world they don't belong in and reacting accordingly" and every entry after that has been like "okay but what if one dinosaur was particularly evil."

i'm sensing some broader parallels

My 2025 hobby is helping my pals de-centre tech from their lives. Acquire CDs, records, DVDs, paper books, reference books, magazines, dictionaries, etc. Go to the library! Going analog is a small way to stop relying on tech bro monsters & helps preserve knowledge they're literally deleting.

Write new worlds. Write beautiful places. Write angry people. Write imaginary beasts, futile quests, broken hearts, lifelong injustices, mysteries, love affairs, lost children, newfound purpose. Write anything that allows you to escape or heal or vent or rage or explore or reconcile. Write 🖤

BACKBEAT and all his glory~.All I wanted was a guy with rainbow hair 😹 #rocksona

Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

Happy Black History Month! I’ve posted an entire video about an overlooked hero of the civil rights movement: Bayard Rustin. Bayard organized the march on Washington for Dr. King, but has mostly been forgotten because he was a gay black man. Make sure to check it out on TikTok.

NEW VID! The internet has been flooded with AI generated "history" videos with yassified portrayals of historical people and questionable-at-best information. What exactly are we up against, and how do these generative systems even work? Come learn with me! youtu.be/M65IYIWlqes

The reason A.I. is being shoved down our throats is shareholders want a return on their investment. Every company that integrates this crappy tech into their products knows you don't want it, but they've sunk too much money into it and don't care. Turn it off, don't use it, don't look back.
