Premium newsletter: my 18k word AI Mythbusters: There’s no insatiable demand for AI compute, AI is not “getting exponentially better” or “tricking humans,” we haven't “lost control of AI,” AI doomerism is a grift, and there is no “GenAI arms race with China.” www.wheresyoured.at/ai-mythbuste...

I'm glad there's no historical precedence for this kinda thing going badly or boy I sure would be worried for myself and my community!

goes for your choice of work, too

Newly Unsealed Batch Of Epstein Estate Photos Contains Rare Holographic Dershowitz

12/12/12 was gotcha day, and I count it as their birthday. Happy 14th my little man. (He was a year when I got him) And I love you forever my queen.

oh look, the perfect intersection of my interests (women's sports) and my expertise (the romance genre). This is a great overview, and the short answer to that headline? YES.

"I know it's going to change the world, it's screwing everybody up, and I'm not in denial about that. But I am in open rebellion." -- Ethan Hawke, perfectly summing up the way so many of us feel about A.I., and really, about so much of 2025 in general.

If the patriarchy ever relents long enough to allow women a measure of institutional power a lot of people are going to be VERY SHOCKED at how not gendered social violence can be.

Mark my words these new ‘femicide’ laws will not be used to aid any women but WILL be used to demean and dismiss any victims not performing gender ‘correctly’. But it’s harder to combat the pervasive, institutionalized and powerful misogyny and racism of any social agency than give lip service.

Democratic congressman Shri Thanedar has filed articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth over the murderous attacks on boats in the Caribbean. https://bit.ly/44E1yqP

Absolutely fucking fascinating that no one seems to get that creating special laws that make ‘women’ a seperate legal category is bad and misogyny in action.

Fallon is the most craven worm, an eager cog in the machinery of Anti-Life; it’s not news but it’s still astonishing

Everytime I see posts about how ‘(part of the body) is different between men and women’ I don’t see feminism. I see bigots and misogynists pushing biological determinism. NO I DON’T NEED SPECIAL WOMEN’S RUNNING SHOES, I NEED SHOES IN A CORRECT SIZE.

Literally all of the good things

How did I sleep? Well one of Thor’s back legs wasn’t working right so I thought he had a stroke. That’s how I slept. (It appears to be his luxating patella and old age, he’s walking now. I just spent the whole night weeping in fear.)

the horror of what ICE is doing feels like it is really really really breaking through to people, and it's opening up big overdue conversations on other topics (that prisons have always been this inhumane, that Homeland Security has always been this racist) if we wanted to wedge those cracks open

If your ‘partner’ feels the need to control where you are and who you are with you are not in a relationship, you are an inmate in a private prison.

As someone who likes the Critical Role folks and thinks they are making some of the best animated shows out there right now but wasn’t intimately familiar with the intricacies of the Mighty Nein back stories all I have to say about S1, Ep5 ‘Little Spark’ is … FUCKING CHRIST ON A BURNING POGO STICK

Ever notice how cis men only tell one of three stories? *my mother didn’t love me the right amount *my father didn’t hug me *a romantic partner didn’t accept my abuse as love

No-strings-attached, zero-means-testing, no-questions-asked cash payouts have been proven, over and over again, to be the most effective form of charity/aid going. It gets people in housing, and it saves the state money. We know this. It's fact, not theory.

lol you'll never convince me a huge part of the reluctance isn't that there's no legal way to make UBI white-only. Lotta white people in this country are happy to lose as long as nobody Black or brown wins.

Actually, the likelihood is 100%. In US jurisprudence, accused people are innocent until proven guilty. Hegseth's victims were not proven guilty; they were not even tried. Therefore they were ALL, to the last man, legally innocent. Hegseth ordered the murders of several dozen innocent men.

TODAY IS THE DAY! GET OUT AND VOTE. Polls are open 7 AM - 7 PM WE GOT THIS!!!!!!

Tennessee, vote for this lady. Imagine a world with even a single consequence for fascism.

I love this time of year, the crisp air, the festive displays, the nearly ripened ties…

An article that dares to ask the question: Is Louis C.K.'s new special funny enough and is his new novel good enough to look past his sex crimes? Tyler Foggatt's answer seems to be no, but only because the quality wasn't good enough - not that she shouldn't be promoting sex criminals. Because 2025.

They're not hiding it, folks—straight up neo-Nazi advertising, from the font to the language to the 11 stars for the Confederacy. Then you have the DHS openly using white nationalist language of "remigrate", which means ethnic cleansing. This is who MAGA is now.

The heart and soul of Trumpism in one tweet

This is Bear. He is in charge of supervising Thanksgiving dinner preparation. Appointed himself to the role, but takes it very seriously. 14/10 (TT: emileebellant)

From Threads: ‘So when people go "men are taller and stronger and have narrower hips and whatever else and that's why it's not fair for someone born male to compete in women's sports!!!!!" it irritates me because it's inaccurate. —> 1/4

Someone is keeping an eye on me.

Thor has a thing on his back that sometimes needs cream on it. To stop him rubbing it off I use a bandaid. He gets the Mandalorian ones.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

I don't actually believe that these people believe vaccines are fiction. They know they're deliberately causing harm by cutting off health care from people and letting illness run rampant. My only conclusion can be that this is a deliberate culling since it's the poorest that will suffer the most.

He's really channeling his Ralph Klein here

I didn’t want to quote skeet this person because I don’t enjoy harshing someone’s buzz re:comics but these kinds of characters are so fucking tedious in concept (Deadpool sucks). And then we have to make them huge boobed manic pixies. It’s depressing no one in this industry can grow the fuck up.

Holy shit. So Elon decides it would be nice to know what region of the world people are posting from. So they add that little feature. 2 hours later they figure out that many Trump supporters with millions of followers are posting from other countries. Surprise! That "feature" is now gone.
