pain is the sauce that life is the vehicle for

Out of curiosity I had Fable write a response to the article about the weaknesses of LLMs: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/o... It's uh, pretty good. claude.ai/code/artifac...

I have come to believe that there always exists a small group of people in the world for which they always just Be Like That, for whatever Like That is in whatever context is needed in that moment. the size of this group is usually limited but not always small.

Strong encryption is an important part of the solution to PROTECT children from grooming and child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

this Platner thing is a psychoanalyst's wet dream. he's so obviously just got an injured ego and can't admit to himself (or the woman he raped) that he raped her while blackout drunk, and now he's super sad he personally can't be the person to break up the Democratic establishment. like, sit down

@erlend.sh I really liked your article! I agree that Community Notes and similar bridging-based ranking features could really help increase *context* within social media where it needs it. I'd caution against "Community Checks" though, since polling like that is highly subject to audience bias

within a year we're going to find out what happens when a failing fascist ethnostate with nukes loses all outside support

I actually don't think it's out if the question that Trump decided to turn on Israel and dares the Republican party to cross him. he's that mentally gone

adulthood growth stories are actually so much more interesting than coming off age stories

> there's a space people hate to be in but can't seem to leave, it's where they get most of their dopamine but less every day, and it actively harms their social abilities > only bans kids 16 and under from accessing it, and in a way that's easy to circumvent > do nothing else to improve it 🫠

Genie> You get three wishes Human> My first wish is infinite wishes! Claude> That's an incredibly smart thing to ask for! I'm here to help, just say the word.

Claude Fable? yea, that's the problem

what percent of the way to communism do you think we are? I'd say somewhere around -21%

Fuck.

lmaooo It took me 1 try to guess who @tessa.germnetwork.com was @mystery-mutual.bsky.social mystery-mutual.fly.dev Winning Hint: Earl Grey tea is their self-proclaimed best friend forever.

I need to be able to turn off reposts for specific accounts because of @goose.ski specifically

Cops busting through a barricade that they set up is pretty tough to misinterpret.

thinking too small. why can't we compete with industrial agriculture? why can't we take over the same infrastructure but make it cooperative? why can't we provide farmers with their basic needs plus a bit more so they can give us their harvest for free, cutting off commodification at the start?

This is real. www.whitehouse.gov/aliens/

People on the right went wild over James Talarico saying that God is beyond gender, saying god is nonbinary or w/e. It reminded me of the time Charlie Kirk got backed into a corner by this college kid.

oooo what are those little spheres? ▶ open in fluoddity

woah ▶ open in fluoddity

badempanada probably started out as a genuine leftist creator but he's 100% a fed now

incredibly frustrating read, but (not to spoil it) I'm glad she's mostly okay now. I have many thoughts but that's the first. the second is that this is an excellent piece of journalism.

so like lemme weigh in on this as someone who is more financially comfortable than many in my generational cohort: everything I have gained seems precarious and temporary because I know the people with real money will take it all from me the second they get an opportunity and no one will protect me.

I'd like to propose that we drain all of Sam Altman's blood and then offer to sell it back to him at cost.

hot take but I personally think there's always enough stuff to make you hate the system under capitalism and it's actually the correct response to living in this hellscape

kinda funny that Trump's Cuba strategy til now has been to starve them of oil and his 2026 Iran strategy will end up giving us the same treatment lol

You don’t have to do this to yourself. There are non-Google options. Kagi is one of rude best search engines I have ever used: kagi.com

I don't think most people are actually religious I think they're just campists

ignorance itself isn't a flaw. I doubt you know what polymorphism is or how to tie an egg loop knot. it's *willful* ignorance that's the problem.

"There's no doubt that Peters is a raging conspiracy theorist who abused her public office and broke the law. But nine years is an awfully long time. She is 70 and-" imma have to stop you right there chief

HP and the Chamber of Secrets on PS2 is actually one of my favorite games of all time. it's open world, you can fly on a broomstick around the whole castle once you unlock it, and the soundtrack is by Jeremy Soule (Skyrim, Morowind, etc.)

my preferred way of solving the AI craze is federally banning AI *in the cloud* (over a certain amount of resources in one location). AI is still fine but it has to be on end-user devices. only exception is scientific research approved by or funded by government in some way.

hey US capitalists, you know what would decrease consumer use of gasoline? 4 day work week. hell, why not 3 day

my hot take on the atproto discourse today is both: 1. if you want to be a part of the community, you can't be openly hostile toward other prominent people in the community (like rudy). gotta be cordial. 2. I, too, am worried about blacksky becoming an "everything app for the black community"

this video is fine but doesn't make/emphasize what I think is mutual aid's key product: connection. if I watch my neighbor's kids for an afternoon I may not get anything tangible but I increased/developed my connection with that neighbor and their kids. THAT'S the unique product, the connection

these people won't start paying real attention to the fact that they're wrong until they start getting ignored and left behind. if they ever realize their error, it's obviously good to help them grow, but as of right now like 35% of this country needs to just be ignored politically

the single most important thing for the left to do for the rest of Trump's term is to focus on creating a cohesive narrative for the path forward, not focusing on bashing Trump/Republicans

lots of people (rightfully) talk on here about how there needs to be another Reformation But Successful This Time against the republicans, but I think it’s pretty myopic to think the Democrats are going to actually do it

not to open up this can of worms again but I feel like appviews should just be called “realms”. that way you can delineate between having an “Atmosphere account with Bluesky” (having an account on Bluesky’s PDS) and connecting to the “Bluesky realm”, or the “Blacksky realm”, etc.

new eeveelution just dropped

yea I take byoopropeeon

[hand to my ear] I’m now hearing reports that a letter shortage has led to the creation of an anti anti ant-AI haters blocklist

what’s the best/quickest way to not see 100 posts all giving similar boring takes about the day’s news in their own words but still see 1. actual news from on the ground 2. important updates if they happen 3. shitposts

The Democrats sense that they're gonna cruise to midterm victory by doing nothing and offering nothing and are using it as a freebie to punch left to make sure the voters don't get any ideas.

recently I’ve taken to asking people I meet what their *second* favorite of something is. movie, song, etc. most people already know their favorite, but having to think through to their second is an interesting exercise

it should be a cloud
