Well, this week has sucked, but it can't get any worse, right? *finger curls on monkey's paw*

Our biggest threat is from the most powerful military in the world. The idea that we're going to win a ground game against them is a level of delulu that I can't even wrap my head around. We need diplomacy, new partnerships, new economic partners, etc.

The enhanced games were a joke (considering they were supposed to feature a bunch of smashed world records) and I feel like I’m losing my grip on reality because I’m not an athlete yet I still grasp that being heavier and wider will make you slower. What is this. www.sfgate.com/sports/artic...

I’ve followed this story for its absurdity and as an illustration of how police lie and bully the public they are supposed to protect. Only after national media attention do they withdraw a case of accusing a woman of something she can’t possibly have done… cbs12.com/news/local/f...

this fucking sucks ( from the creator of the cupcake character, lorynbrantz instagram - www.instagram.com/p/DY2v_qXIoQt )

Today has been a bad day: 1) Had to see my ex for the first time since our break-up. 2) Got into a minor fender bender while leaving my ex's place. 3) Found out that my mother has been diagnosed with minor Alzheimer's dementia. This has been a bad day.

As an anthropologist, I endorse this message!

What we’re seeing is “respectable” conservatives openly moving to the position that the *only* acceptable form of Christianity is one rooted in white Christian nationalism.

Ugh, that tore a strip off my heart. My ex just changed their status to "Single." Makes it all feel even more real now that all their friends can see it.

We fucking told you so. We told you and told you and told you. "AI" as an industry has to earn $2 trillion in revenue per year from now to 2029 in order for investments merely to break even. That's simply impossible. www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

When we teach kids, *especially* girls that their nudity is scandalous, sexual, inviting, etc. it enables sexual predators who convince their victims that they had no choice but to sexualize them because they were "being seduced." It's wildly dangerous stuff and such an easy fix! Nudity =/= sexual

Oh, hell yes! "Marvel Animation’s X-Men ‘97 Season 2 | Official Trailer"

Guilbeault announces his resignation. Also, 👀 this part: "Around the world, we have demonstrated what we can accomplish with ambition and determination. It is with this same conviction that I wish to continue this fight for the generations who will inherit our precious and unique blue planet."

I knew Guilbeault was an environmentalist but I only realized today that he's the one who got arrested for scaling the CN tower back in 2001 in protest of US/Canada environmental policies. How many more environmentalists need to come out against Carney's policies before people start listening?

Cult leader Jim Jones used to fake assassination attempts so that his cult would worship him harder. Just thought I’d share that history with everyone

Of COURSE they hate actual vets.

1. Lead Left, a super PAC created on 4/24, purports to stand "against MAGA extremists." It has spent $3M+ in Democratic primaries. But it's funders and motivations have been secret. Until now. It's a GOP dirty tricks operation. 🧵

Time for me to yap your ear off before we game (most likely more DBD, but we'll see)! Come hang out 💜 twitch.tv/geauxgretchen

Destroyed Ken Paxton

Well holy crap. Erin Brockovich (yes, the same one the led the Hinkley, CA toxic groundwater lawsuit in ‘93) launched a website tracking AI data centers across the US and the ecological impacts to the environment and drinking water. MN is riddled with them. www.brockovichdatacenter.com

TFW you start to wonder, "Am I depressed, or just bored?"

I would like to see Wired’s financials like, immediately.

Today would have been Sally Ride's 75th Birthday.

I honestly think they do just tell him this. Perfect health! Everything is great! This IV is just full of extra fluids and vitamins because you’re such a big strong boy you need extra! The diapers are just because you’re too important and busy to go on the potty!

If you fucking hate consumer-facing "A.i." and what it's doing to our entire society, I recommend following these folks.

AI spending is getting 'harder to justify' says Uber president

maybe it's conspiracy but i still think it's just to make you stupid so they can take over your entire life after the AI bubble bursts entirely. i really don't think they give a shit about losing the cash at this stage.

What if taxing the rich works?

I've been calling it "the Trump Regime" for over a year now.

I hear there's a new PTB out for DBD today involving one Jason 👀 Having some coffee chats first before checking out the PTB! Come hang out! 💜 twitch.tv/geauxgretchen

Maybe I've hit the Denial part of grieving, but I'm feeling okay about my break-up today. I'm still not happy about it, but I'm not feeling devastated either. I know that I have friends and family who love me, and that I am not alone.

I am simultaneously pissed about this & also with my professional knowledge I literally can tell you there’s a 95% chance that this ad went live with two pairs of eyes on it, neither of which are in the building at WotC. Fucking control your vendors man

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

I was trying to explain what ChatGPT is to my mom (she thought it was a messaging app) and after my explanation and some thought, she volunteered, “Oh, so it’s the magic mirror in the beginning of Snow White when it only tells the queen what she wants to hear.” Perfect analogy.

To state the obvious: many military families include Democrats, and the president just insulted them in his Memorial Day message.

I get a lot of Qs about the hell we're supposed to do about young men and radicalization. There are lots of different resources on this and @whiteribbon.bsky.social has just created a new one specific for those who are raising boys and young men.

Premiere Smith’s illegitimate attempt to end run the system after the system failed to produce her desired chaos is a master class in ratfucking. Here’s how the question is structured: Should Alberta stay in Canada? Yes - Alberta should leave No - Alberta should stay

Converting to Catholicism so I can tell my bosses using unregulated AI is against my religion and I will sue them like that cake lady who hated gay people if they make me use it

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

Tim Hortons is a multinational owned shitty coffee chain named after a Canadian hockey player who died from drinking and driving and the fact that everything they do makes the news never ceases to amaze me. Canadians tying their identity to it is such an indictment of how many of us are ignorant.
