not that it would convince any AI turds but this is the best way to explain it They want the tip of the triangle with nothing under it

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along

don’t say hollywood is meaningless because somehow there are actual people in this country who were totally fine with ICE raids and unlawful deportations and overturning Roe and state sanctioned trans panic but the President being tacky about Rob Reiner is the step too far for them

This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.

If Republicans in Indiana can tell Trump to get fucked, Republicans everywhere can too.

This will backfire horrifically and every decision-maker involved will deserve it.

none of the ai slop commercials these companies churn out will have even one-tenth of the cultural impact as the folgers incest commercial and i think that's beautiful

"I can't afford to support my favorite author right now, I—" Reviews. Reviews are free AND they are a gift to authors that can keep on giving (i.e., exposure, marketing, algo boosts, etc.) Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!

Brain swelling, which necessitates regular MRI’s, and tiredness are main side effects of the Alzheimer’s drug Leqembi, administered intravenously through the hand. — So, is Trump secretly taking Alzheimer’s medication?

Should we all be “student loan” level outraged at bailing out farmers with billions of dollars?

Who has made this 🤣

… and he SERVED ✨

This is like if Tyson stopped selling consumer chicken. RAM is about to cost as much as a brand new pc. The cost of everything from tablets, to phones, to laptops will skyrocket. All because AI data centers are consuming all the available RAM they can get. www.pcgamer.com/hardware/the...

is there anything more 2025-coded than “white” being the pantone color of the year

Never believe the fuckers who say "why bother, they already won"

Every dollar JK Rowling makes from Harry Potter is going into bankrolling an extortion racket issuing legal threats to organizations across the UK to purge themselves of trans people or face ruinous lawfare.

Never felt more seen in a thread from a fellow educator. The proportion of my students that are unable (unwilling?) to follow written instructions is very nearly 100% in labs now. This is a dramatic, extremely concerning, change over the last few years and nothing I do to mitigate this has helped.

my “AI is over” anecdote is that my wife was hired over the summer to write scripts for a big tech company explaining how to use their AI tools and after many rounds of revisions, the latest notes said “we’re finding a lot of AI fatigue among our users” and to remove all references to AI

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

I think about this tweet a lot

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

One of the big tidal forces of the coming years is that the baseline reliability of things you see on a screen is going to decline. I think this has not been adequately metabolized. This is one version, but there are a bunch of them.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

If you're buying gifts for the holidays, maybe consider supporting artists, writers, creators. Gift someone a Patreon, commission an art piece, buy a book, purchase handmade jewelry, etc. Your support means everything.

the reason 101 dalmations looks like that is because disney incorporated xerography (ie early photocopying technology) into the animation process. rough pencils (by mostly male animators) were copied onto the cels so that disney could fire the (mostly female) inkers. remember that art can lie to you

You might not think you needed to see Kate Bush dressed as a bat today, but you were wrong.

Trump ten minutes after meeting Zohran

Zohran Mamdani did to Trump through sheer charm what it took Elon Musk a thousand engineers to do to Grok

I expected more of @reptedlieu.bsky.social

I literally could not stop myself from inappropriately laughing out loud for real

ICE never left L.A. The military did but they aren't the ones terrorizing the city. Please don't ignore L.A.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution. That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk. Wow.

Derpy and Sussie from K-Pop Demon Hunters are ready to fly! At Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade ~ #KPopDemonHunters #MacysParade #FPN #FunkoPOPNews #Derpy #Sussie

After a bird flu outbreak tore through Midwestern barns, killing millions of chickens and spiking egg prices, the federal government didn’t investigate if the virus was airborne. So ProPublica did. Absolutely terrifying reporting from @natlash.bsky.social: www.propublica.org/article/bird...

I'm a voiceover actor, you've heard me on your TV, radio or the web over the 36 years of my career. My bread-and-butter work used to be narrating training films and corporate videos, used to be at least 1/3 of my income. MOST of that work is now AI. My agents are dying, fellow talent are struggling.

Auctioneer: “Chinese 19th century cricket cage” Me: “…you know what? all right, sure, I guess putting a cricket in there is how you made it vibrate before batteries”

Follow The 2 Rogers Rule: If neither Steve nor Fred would do it, you shouldn't either. Protect your team. Be a good neighbor. Punch a Nazi. All are great examples of World Kindness Day.

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

We started Indivisible in 2016 because a future Trump appointee was talking about the WWII Japanese internment camps as a model for immigrants at the same time that Schumer was talking about finding common ground with Trump.

Trying to decide whether to use my invisible tariff check from Trump or my invisible cost saving rebate check from DOGE to fill the tank of my car with a 500-year loan with invisible $2/gallon gas . . .

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.
