This is important

í vinnunni í dag var gamall karlmaður sem ég var að afgreiða á símanum með konu sinni og sagði "þessi skvís verður að afgreiða mig, heyri í þér" verð að merkja dagurinn á dagatalinu, skvísað í fyrstu sinni

“I will NOT sacrifice the Oxford comma. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the em dash and we fall back. They capture ‘not just X but y’ and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!”

just saw someone posted an image that was a) a forested valley with a sign in the foreground reading "a data center can't replace this", and b) entirely generated by ai and i don't think i've seen a better example of the cognitive partitions these people must have nailed up on their minds

já ókei takk, þá er það algjörlega staðfest! 👍🏻

might be late to the party but in discussions about experimental fiction i've never seen anyone bring up virginia woolf's the waves, which is odd bc i'm only a couple chapters in and it's already the weirdest story i've ever encountered, in the best way

If I ran a site that attracted funny sexy inclusive people I would simply be proud of my user base instead of menacing them daily

incredible work to be the governor of a state facing so many urgent challenges, having the position to make actual improvements in people's lives, and instead issue this corny, useless proclamation that does nothing but honor a past deserving of shame anyways here's my favorite video on the subject

This is actually a really interesting tell, because the "invevitability of AI" narrative sure feels like it's really about the inevitability of climate change, what with how obviously AI accelerates it and immediately requires extreme increases in energy production

same energy

They couldn’t make Real Genius today because audiences would be confused why a bunch of nerds would sabotage selling their technology to the military-industrial complex

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

you ever look at a cloud or a mountain range or a tree ripping up a sidewalk or your neighbour's cat or people walking downtown on the first warm day of the year and just think hot damn is it a miracle to live on this gorgeous dust mote of a planet hurtling through the void

The human circulatory system, before and after proper cable management.

between this and their other project - i.e. rolling increasingly larger iron balls at jars filled with colored water - we see once again that the best brainrot slop is human made

Ah! 19 April – 126th anniversary of the day William Butler Yeats kicked Aleister Crowley downstairs as they fought for control of the British branch of the not-at-all-ridiculous Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in the Battle of Blythe Road. According to legend, anyway... 🧵

in these difficult days, i can only hope some brilliant mind is working on bespoke utensils for eating loaded nachos

CHARLIE BROWN: Yes mistress, you're right, mistress, I'm a blockhead! a hopeless blockhead! DOMINATRIX: wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah

The desperate campaign to push AI down our throats is just what Nestlé did with baby formula, or Monsanto with patended seeds. Manufactured Intermediation—inserting a corporate tollbooth into a process that used to be self-sustaining, using a low initial barrier to entry to destroy the alternative.

regular reminder that you might be able to say a lot of awful things about hulk hogan, but you should have in mind that he was also a scab, so you can say that, too

one super encouraging sign of a trustworthy news source is they block access to their history in real time

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse Media and universities: AI is here to stay

what perfect album came out when you were 18?

BREAKING: A jury finds that Ticketmaster and Live Nation had an anticompetitive monopoly over big concert venues.

BREAKING: Maryland is about to become the first state in the nation to ban the use of surveillance data and dynamic pricing at grocery stores. The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act. Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.

"irreversible side effects of HRT" all of life is irreversible. i cannot go back a single second in time

I misread the headline as one movie and got very excited for a moment…

also not to belabor the point but the current pope chose leo XIV for a reason! the previous leo laid down a letter that basically said "workers have rights and the state should work for the common good" ... in 1891. adult converts moaning about the "political church" announce their ignorance

100%. adult converts like vance kinda gloss over the catonsville nine, the catholic worker movement, the catholic peace fellowship ... these reactionaries just want to be pious bullies. applied liberation theology in america would end them

HUMILIATING DEFEAT FOR THE CHUD INTERNATIONALE

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

People who have been sharing this need to know that this is not a photo it’s a DRAWING. The Artemis crew was NOT bunnies. Think before you repost.

Incredible that human beings figured out how to do this. How cool. What if we only did cool stuff

if the pope blocks someone on twitter, is that an "x-communication"?

Stop looking for the race blind angle in a society steeped in racism challenge.

if you can smell this image remember to take your heart meds today

Oh, she didn't know the flavor and the skeet she couldn't skip But the flavor of the Pringles was big iron on the chip Big iron on the chiiiiiiip

Ekki viss hvort vandinn sé í aferðafræðinni eða framsetningu gagna, en vandi við þessar tölur er að þær segja okkur ekkert um skoðanir fólks á málaflokknum. Gaurinn sem vill afnema landamæri og gaurinn sem vill skjóta alla útlendinga segja báðir að stjórnvöld standi sig illa í málefnum útlendinga.

this would fix me
