Is this platform still massively against leprosy or has it moved more towards acceptance?

If 2023 was the year AI slop was embraced by spammers and social media influencers, and 2024 was the year the slop era began in earnest, 2025 was when slop became embedded in our cultural institutions and social spheres. On the slop layer that we all must navigate now:

Julianne Moore, Wong Kar Wai AND a focus on hotel-based movies? Man, I love the Criterion Channel’s curation. What a gift this service and its peeps continue to be.

There is a very good reason why internal policies are internal, and it's because griefers are VERY good at testing the boundaries of the system until they're confident they can be as abusive as they want and still remain one millimeter away from the point at which they will be removed.

I sometimes genuinely do wish people could have the experience of seeing what gets reported and taken down so they could viscerally understand what an unmoderated space on the internet looks like, because however bad you can imagine it is, the reality is far worse.

Jesus, per Bible: We must feed and protect the most poor and vulnerable, rich folks can’t know true faith Jesus, per AI: Taxing billionaires is Satanic, we must shovel the poor into data center furnaces

Toronto is one of my fave food places, because it has an infinite range of culinary cultures and the food only gets better the more mom-and-pop hole-in-the-wall the setup is

My feelings on Fail Safe vs Strangelove are total sacrilege so I will not say them aloud. But real ones know

Fling DHS and everyone in it directly into the sun

Starting to think that OpenAI is looking for billions in loans not to fake being profitable but to fend off all the massive, massive lawsuits

There are more of us than there are of them.

The only thing that’s bad about this is that Dick Cheney isn’t around to see it

This team, man. Absolute kings out there, and win or lose, it has been incredible to watch them play this season.

In Canada, batters bean YOU

Goddamn, Jays. Why? Bad form, bad juju, bad choice.

My god, I love this team. Absolutely incredible run, first through the Yankees, then the Mariners, and going toe to toe with the Dodgers in a way nobody saw coming. What a goddamn series this has been.

WE MUST DEFEAT THE POPE

So glad the Jays could accommodate him on this a bit better tonight

The Jays are learning the best way to escape ungodly terrible LA umping is to just hit the ball

We love baseball because we hate life

I’m a Jays guy and part of the reason I’m thrilled about this World Series is to watch how Ohtani’s mere presence is changing the game around him. The guy is a beast and a pleasure to watch! You can’t hate this guy!

LA umps throwing the game early huh

Not happy about the outcome of this World Series game but I 100% have to hand it to Yamamoto. Singularly incredible pitching performance.

Ah yes, the classic 6th-inning Jonas Bros stretch

Did…did this just happen? I’m a Jays fan but fully expected this to be a one-sided pummeling by the Dodgers. There’s still a lot of games to go but…man, incredible.

I love this team, folks

Incredible game in an incredible series, and two incredible teams. I’m screaming with joy for the Jays to make it to the World Series — off the back of Springer’s righteous homer — but it coulda gone either way. The Mariners are a hell of a team and big respect to their competitiveness. Holy hell.

But enough about the Jays-Mariners game

“If you’re gonna COME HERE, you gotta immigrate THE RIGHT WAY” Immigrating “the right way”:

When I wrote for newspapers, the baseline was to write to a third-grade level at the absolute max, with the reasoning that most people couldn’t read even to that level. And, well,

VLADDY NOOOOO

Win or lose, this series has been why I love baseball. Anything is possible, anything can happen, and even as a Jays guy, I’d be thrilled for Mariners fans to have their moment too. What a sport. I love this game.

My god, do I ever love Vladdy. To see a Jay that loves Toronto back is…everything.

Please note that moderation lists can be highly subjective, as I am currently on 8, but here are some that I subscribed to that I would recommend co-strugglers explore too! 👊🏽 By Greg Pak: bsky.app/profile/did:... By John Breen: bsky.app/profile/did:... By Courtney Milan: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Me, yelling at the Jays’ Schneider for bringing in Brandon Little in the bottom of the 8th against Seattle’s best hitters:

I think the Blue Jays just beat the Blue Jays.

So angry that Vladdy didn’t get the opportunity to avenge Springer getting his knee drilled in

Watching Scherzer eat sunflower seeds is to look upon the face of madness

“Do you hate art and have dogshit opinions and taste? Good news!”

while I acknowledge that LLMs do have some uses for stuff like “producing code with knowledgeable human supervision,” this perfectly reflects how I feel about using it for my own creative work

I’ve always been saying this

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

The first time I went there with a friend who pronounced the city how it’s spelled, a waiter told him to pronounce “Toronto without the t,” to which my friend said, “…..Oronto?”

GG Merriam-Webster

The Blue Jays are trying to do the most Blue Jays thing possible

Deeply shameful shit from Canuck parliamentarians who are already failing to fight the race to the bottom.

Sepinwall is the Ebert of TV critics, and to fire him (and your copy chief?!) is absolute madness. What possible rationale could there be for tossing the strongest guy on your bench? This will cost them a LOT of subscriptions, so…why?

Rest in piss is just an internet free speech meme expressing polite disagreement with the heinous views of a dead extremist.
