I cannot imagine a more on-the-nose metaphor than tech companies filling their offices with free drugs that supposedly enhance your productivity but are more addictive than heroin. fortune.com/2026/03/04/p...

this is the most millennial dad joke ever conceived

they’re shooting crowd control munitions at crowds that include multiple members of congress, the governor, and a sitting united states senator. they fired pepper balls at the senator. they cannot and will not be reigned in by democracy, whatever’s left of it.

A livestream of a volcano in the Philippines captured a meteor crashing to Earth today. What are the odds? Mayon Volcano, Location: Albay, Luzon, Philippines

Stories like this. Nothing has changed. A perceived feminine name vs. masculine name on identical resumes. A perceived white vs. Black name on identical resumes. "When men use AI, we question their effort. When women use AI, we question their integrity." In near every case, the problem is people.

Forgot that daycare is closed for the holiday...

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

Weaponize your happiness/joy. It's an easy way to identify abusers early. anyone who looks down on you for enjoying your hobbies in your own space/time, harming no one, then they are telling you who they are at hello. Friends will choose not to participate if they aren't feeling it, not shame you.

we're approaching Phantom E3 week, the week where E3 used to be but still feels like its there, the pins and needles sensation of a media event long since amputated

Do not buy or use this terrible surveillance product.

Think of it this way: using ChatGPT is like employing a scheming eunuch whose obsequious lies will make your life difficult and embarrassing.

Unfortunately XIV roleplayers are still incapable of being Normal

i have a new sister

Everyone in California should have the Watch Duty app on their phone, and become a member or donate if you can. You’ll find incident and evacuation info for the methyl methacrylate leak in garden grove at the link below. I‘ll pin the link to my profile.

I grew up around Garden Grove. Lot of family and friends still there. This is insane, there's basically a chemical Chernobyl situation happening in Orange County right now.

Ugh, the tension headache…

Been a rough week in many ways and today was not great, but instead of spiraling I went swimming. I still did a little spiraling, but I did it while doing laps, so I think that's a net win.

If this is you in Southern California, Go, Go, Go! Thread has location of evacuation zone. It's going to be a much better story when you and your love ones live to tell it.

Destiny lost some of its soul each time its creators were thrown to the wolves for an excess profit. Individual people who designed and engineered our entire experience. Their work is the single part worth celebrating. Your genius deserved everything. You made something completely irreplaceable.

Complicated feelings about the D2 news tbh.

I have some friends on the east coast who have a lil flock of pet birds, and I have become webcam friends with a little green and red budgie named Chive who thinks I'm very exciting to talk to

Running my FFXIV group with the power of Trello, Miro, Google Spreadsheets, and a ticket bot in Discord while nobody wants to call me back for a real job, smh

The week was a nonstop tragedy tbh and I am just hoping the next one is better

"Waived confidentiality" by using AI... Thinking now about the push for therapists to use AI & big companies trying to develop "AI therapists"

Doesn't feel too out there to say that every hour of work "saved" by AI just becomes someone else's hour of work.

People out here reviewing plants like it’s Steam

(screaming)

As a teen war nurse, Mao Vang sorted through corpses, looking for survivors among the dead. Fellow war nurse Ly Vang assisted with operations. She was 8 years old. Hmong child nurses of the Secret War in Laos have rarely gotten the spotlight. Here’s their her-stories: twincities.com/2026/05/16/h...

my ffxiv friend’s dad was detained by ICE; if anyone can help donate or share for him and his family to afford legal fees and support themselves, that’d be super appreciated: www.gofundme.com/f/help-free-...

in spite of every administrative roadblock this is going to keep happening, and they can't stop it

Recently, FamilySearch digitized and uploaded tons of microfilmed records, including many from 18th-century Massachsuetts. They're using some sort of AI to transcribe/summarize the handwritten documents. I've noticed that the AI strips out references to race and enslavement in 18thc documents.

DC fam, please keep an eye out

hey!!! in 48ish hours i'm hosting another week-long "thing jam".. it's like a game jam except your game can instead be a poem or a photo or a picture or a piece of performance art or anything else! it's non-competitive, open ended and intended as an excuse to have fun! 🤸 itch.io/jam/make-lit...

Called it

It's been a stressful week so my mad science group is roleplaying a night at the Eorzea Denny's

Look, what are we even doing here? No need to actually have opinions; LLMs will decide what your opinions would be if you could think. No need to actually exist anymore; LLMs will auto/generate the memories would would have if you actually experienced anything.

First day back in the pool after vacation

Why is it so hard to find a therapist who takes insurance? We heard from more than 500 mental health care providers who left their networks because of red tape, low reimbursement rates, delayed payments and more. (Published Aug. 2024)

Having one of those weeks

excited to announce we've entered the phase of unemployment where i cry every night

Hoyoverse is expanding their AI usage in game development. Honkai Nexus Anima, Nodusfall, Petit Planet, Varsapura are all using AI in some way, primarily art. Hoyo also states that using it on VAs must be with explicit consent #Hoyoverse www.gamingonphonebiz.com/hoyoverse-ou...

Cannot really overstate how badly I need a job ASAP

I don't want to give up but I don't even have options to try. I don't know.

Parents called the instant I dropped my friends off to remind me that my life as an independent adult is over if I can’t find a job soon, and Billie got kicked out of Fridays for daycare. So I guess I’m just gonna be crying tonight!

Just got the option to pay with my face at the burger place ???

removing this guy from his position is the single most important errand facing American politics at present. the amount of damage he's doing is almost incalculable.
