How many millions of dollars do you think Progressive has invested in these execrable "Dr. Rick" ads? Can you imagine even ONE person seeing an ad with Dr. Rick and thinking to themselves: MAN! I GOTTA switch my homeowner's insurance to Progressive IMMEDIATELY?

THEY USED AI TO TRY TO CONVINCE PEOPLE THEIR AI SLOP RESHARE WASN'T AI (They have also blocked 50 people since posting their plagiarised-from-Facebook fictional story [https://clearsky.app/cutelilbottom/blocking] while BEING blocked by 300+ [https://clearsky.app/cutelilbottom/blocking/blocked-by])

A snow emergency has been declared. Parking rules begin at 9 p.m. tonight, Sunday, Dec. 28. https://www.minneapolismn.gov/getting-around/snow/

Shout out to @polyculeofone.bsky.social, who you'd think might have more of a sense of humour given their choice of username

Fallout from my one man crusade to get people to stop sharing an AI story last night: • dozens of folks basically cool with it ("thanks, deleting") • five people blocked me, including the original poster • only one told me to stop being a cunt before blocking me My view of Bluesky's still pretty OK

7 to 10 inches in the Cities?!

Hi, here to kill your faith in humanity. This is a word for word repost of this story posted on Facebook by an account that uses AI to create fiction: www.facebook.com/permalink.ph...

Welp, might be time for the peppermint schnapps

@liberallibrarian.bsky.social It's a fake story, tho.

Yes, I carry enough spite and anti-AI sentiment to respond to 70 quote-reposters. Only a couple gave me a "so what if it isn't real?" response, but I'm sure the original thread will still get another ten thousand reposts because it's 2025 and curiosity is dead

This story is a word-for-word report of a fictional AI-assisted story posted to Facebook on Thursday, linked here. www.facebook.com/permalink.ph... The sharer (who couldn't block me fast enough) is still responding to commenters as if it was a real story they themselves shared from "Detroit, 2004."

Lol of course the AI slop sharer blocked me. It's damaging to their engagement!

Looks like a repost of a FICTIONAL story posted from the Facebook account "Astonishing" on Christmas Day. Sooooooo happy people have nothing better to do on Christmas than generate AI slop for engagement bait...except maybe drag it over to Blooski www.facebook.com/permalink.ph...

Catch me and two hours of YOUR requests on @kfai.org @weekend.crz.mn in ten minutes! Good riddance, 2025!

Guys, Chief Viral is demanding that you offer some dignity and respect

Last minute DJ fill-in at Dusty's Bar in ... ope ... 42 minutes! Come hear me spin mostly vinyl I played back in March along with three Christmas 12" singles I had held back for Dollar Bin!

I think Chris may have spent his life mispronouncing Modesto. Let's instead turn our attention to "a Modist proposal"

He should throw it backwards again

In this ongoing occupation of Minneapolis, Defend the 612 is committed to uplifting and supporting city-wide coordination between autonomous neighborhood response groups that are rising up to resist the abductions, kidnapping and deportation of our neighbors. (1/4) Learn more at defend612.com

Hey look, it's one of the illegal acts amongst many committed by ICE & friends in Minnesota that @keithellison.bsky.social has been uncharacteristically silent about

Oh no, do you think they'll try to take the house

Guys, I can't run for EVERYTHING

a running thread of Santa Claus matches in Mexico this holiday season

Sigh.... If/when this guy files for the GOP nomination for governor of Minnesota, I will do my best to be lined up right behind him so I can immediately also file for the same nomination. Any interested parties in being my running mate/future lieutenant governor, reach out!

Today I learned a lotta French speakers didn't know Milou's name was translated to Snowy back in the 1950s

Oh no, no Surly Grrly! (Too much snow for me to leave the house anyway, but I feel SLIGHTLY less bad about skipping the show now)

Rachel Maddow reciting the preamble to the constitution as an ad for MS NOW is at least as baffling a decision as deciding MS NOW was the best name for the network

Bluesky slow for everybody tonight or just me?

Yukon Cornelius really seems like a poor man's Archibald Haddock So I guess that makes Hermey Tintin Obviously the Bumble is Snowy But Rudolph is also Tintin, let's be honest

OH BOY just saw my first Shen Yun ad of the season 🥰

Gotta read it all the way to the last sentence. Chef's kiss

Call him "Schotty" again #tnf

"Wear pants." Pffft

I enjoy clicking through to Guitar Center's $2699.99 listing for a Roland TR-1000 and getting a popup that says I can take $5 off my next order

I've spent zero dollars and zero pennies this Cyber Monday, but last night I did stock up on $1 fried onions for future green bean casseroles because apparently their regular price is between four and six bucks under the current administration

Well, we got Post Malone BUT his opening act was Dana White so I'm calling it a wash

Wow, Jack White was a pretty good halftime show! I wonder which crappy modern country artist I've never heard of will be served up by Dallas and CBS later

Happy Thanksgiving! Behold, my Dork Points debut — for science! www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_n2...
