how we got here

I will never talk to an AI and that’s a promise. I don’t know what a Claude is and I do not intend to figure out. I will be using the computer the way God Intended, looking at pictures of Oldsmobiles.

Here’s a self-care whale shark #p4a #p4a2026

I dunno folks. Find things to do with your life that aren’t trying to hurt other people

These are concentration camps and its our duty as citizens to ensure these things don't get built.

HEGSETH GAVE THE GUYS SHOOTING CITIZENS IN THE STREET AND BREAKING DOWN DOORS AN ANTI-AIRCRAFT LASER. Sorry for shouting I just can’t hear my thoughts over the ringing in my ears.

Me, perusing dating app: He’s tolerable I suppose, but not handsome enough to tempt me and I’m in no humor at present to give consequence to young men slighted by other women.

On my flight today, a chatty lady said, “I can’t go to New York with all that’s going on over there.” And I said, “What? Free child care?” And she stopped talking to me.

"This is for you. This is yours." "Thank you. Thanks." Thanks to everyone who worked on #diablo2resurrected 's new expansion! The stash upgrades are a birthday present all their own. Finding that Aleph 0 patch in the Collector's edition of #marathon was emotional! I hope the launch goes well on 3/5

2/11: the game I've loved for decades releases a surprise expansion 2/22: husband's birthday 3/1: my birthday 3/5: the game my husband's loved and worked on the classic version open source for decades releases a reboot 3/23: our 24th anniversary Is this real life?? @blizzard.com @bungie.net 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

So honoured to be voicing the Warlock in Diablo 2: Resurrected. It’s been 26 years since Diablo 2 first hit our shelves and became one of the most beloved games in the world, I truly hope that this new class (and voice) delights this wonderful community who have been supporting Diablo for 30 years.

I reiterate: demanded their zip-tied parents not comfort them.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

I’m celebrating the arrival of the Golden Age with a feast consisting of one piece of chicken, one piece of broccoli, one corn tortilla, and one other thing.

So the El Paso closure was probably something like: Dept of War: "Let's test some of the anti-drone EM weapons along the border!" FAA: "Umm, have you tested to see how those affect commercial aircraft at various altitudes" DoW: "No!" FAA: "Well then you can't" DoW: "You can't tell me what to do!"

Good to know: air restriction NOTAMs (notice to airmen) come standard with 'you may be prosecuted' and 'violations may be met with military force.' What's unusual about this one is the length of time and the lack of exceptions for medivac, etc. This is an unexpected financial hit for El Paso, btw

there is a very specific kind of person I would rather chew on tacks than spend time with, and that is a person who makes fun of a sheltered person for not knowing something about pop culture no, not every milennial knows Gasolina. some of us were raised on VeggieTales and ZoeGirl, Karen.

discord: please verify your age me: *lets out a sigh that seems to crawl out of my lungs rather than be exhaled, dense with fatigue, disappointment, so profoundly Gen X it practically hums with the ghosts of mixtapes, dial-up modems, and being told to “just deal with it”* discord: age verified

Matt, you really are the hero we need. 14/10

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

I’ve never seen a commercial destroy a company’s reputation before. Great work, Ring.

Don't sleep on this. One of the highlighted situations is a person who was organizing a group to watch ICE. They were treated as though this was a threat of violence. This administration truly believes these watchers and protesters are a) breaking the law, and b) a threat.

"More than 85% of those arrested had enough evidence for asylum claims and Constitutionally protected court dates, thus proving this was always about socioeconomic status and a religious extremist attack on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as a disability. News at 11:00." There, I fixed America.

An incredible turn of events here. 10/10, no notes. 😂

age verification? I got to use an early version of Netscape Navigator at a Duquesne University computer camp in 1994

"Appeasement is being coordinated while resistance is not" is exactly right. (This op-ed from Arne Duncan and David Pressman is excellent; I hope university leaders will read it.) www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

This is dictator indulgency shit. Bonus points for embarrassing our country and insulting Italy, I guess!

Good... but this reminds me of the news story where a teacher had cancer and their coworkers were donating their PTO hours for days off for treatment. Maybe Delta could donate a hundred thousand dollars for tickets instead of offloading that onto customers who spent way more to earn their miles?

Faking real usernames is insidious. Multiple years ago, a malicious user left a vile comment with a username of someone I greatly respected, and because it wasn't a common thing, I assumed it was her leaving it anon. It took years before I realized it was fake! Don't be discouraged, my lovelies.

To everyone just now finding out Isaac Asimov was rather famously a sex pest: He's been gone 34 years now, you can handle this truth, I believe in you

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

he's so close to figuring it out!

A volunteer at an anti-poacher nonprofit and a pianist working for Doctors Without Borders save each other's lives in: Heated Ivory

one thing i have noticed is a lot of folks do not seem to understand the difference between a presidential election and 435+ legislative elections. i have seen any number of people say that you could subvert the outcome this november by targeting “swing states,” which does not make any sense.

I just want to call this line from petitioner's counsel out specifically: "We shouldn't need a specific court order to ask the DOJ not to put somebody's life in danger." Bars.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Hey editors who title articles, can we chat? Can you please stop using 'Humiliated' in your titles? Especially when you talk about people who have never felt that emotion (even when they should) in their lives? I super appreciate it, thanks!

There are many horrible things to note here but I'm going to pull out just one: How will people in rural areas access these farkakte A.i.-based avatars WHEN THEY STILL CAN'T GET BROADBAND.

They're acting like Don Lemon detonated the church with gay telekinesis

This is the kind of stuff I think of when I hear about companies trying to push generative AI into medical or industrial stuff. There's good medical uses of AI, but it's not the same AI! Not every manager and CEO seems to know the difference.

Winter sport needs snow-not fossil fuels Eni, one of the world’s biggest oil and gas corporations, is using the Winter Olympics to greenwash its fossil-fuelled destruction If you agree that polluters shouldn’t get a podium at the Games, share the video (Proudly human-made. No AI) #WinterOlympics

Well, one of them was on the Mayflower! So I'm betting religious nuttery for that one. The other side I can only track back to the Battle of Monmouth, and that's the Holmes side, so I'm gonna pretend he was a battlefield detective. (Just let me have this)

Looking bad out there, woodchuck chuckers! But, what is this, Miami Beach? Not hardly. *somewhere in the distance, a lot more than just a tray of dishes breaks*
