I'm so shocked, everyone seemed so excited for it and it was so reasonably priced and clearly what the consumers wanted. /s

We love the trans-it authority 🥰

Purdue misses the plot. I’ve got thoughts about my alma mater’s new “AI competency” requirement.

A man tried to create a "women's safety" app called Tea. Then, images and more than a million private conversations, including some about cheating partners and abortions, were compromised in two security breaches. Top stories of 2025 that we're still following: www.404media.co/women-dating...

my favorite David Letterman bits were when @mandykathryn.bsky.social would run on to the Tonight Show stage and belt one out. i never thought i love a version of Brother Can You Spare a Dime more than Bing Crosby. then. came Mandy with Tony Randall in attendance. 💖 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dcdp...

Something to think on today for progressive/leftist causes: The legacy media is never going to like you, so what do you need to do to make them irrelevant?

"I want to clone you and carry you around in my pocket on a keychain so that you are always there" Compliment? Not sure. Unhinged? 1000%

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

I will say, that we bought an Apple TV this year for other reasons, but it has a setting that dims flashing lights and it is worth it just for that alone. Now, I'm not saying it is perfect, sometimes it overreacts when a scene moves from indoors to outdoors or something but I have been safe so far.

Season 1 and 2 also had a great big flashing 'fuck epileptics' sign. No idea if the other seasons did, I didn't watch them. I don't remember the first two particularly well after the seizures. I feel, stubbornly, that maybe people making shows and movies should give more of a shit about seizures.

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

it’s all i’ve got

TIL Schick razor co. was not an onomatopoeic name it was just named after a guy. WHAT.

I've been saying for a while that platforms want AI content labeled so they can filter it out in training data, so this still tracks with that. I do think that there is something interesting in the idea of making something deliberately imperfect as a human signature.

I would like to thank potatoes for always being there for me this year

Happy New Era's Eve Everyone!

Happy New Year to the haters, the losers, and the far left marxist transgender extremists, which I think covers everyone here.

inspiring what people can do when they band together for the protection of one another’s liberty

Incredibly sad/infuriating

At least I can trust in nerds to just grab things and toss them away into their own collections

It's time for the passing year! ✨🌟✨Happy new year!!✨🌟✨ Wishing you the best as always, health and success for you through 2026! Keep it up!

And tiny tim who did NOT die got another covid vaccination to stay on top of the latest strains.

Reviewer 2 asked me to take the beauty standards part out of my paper but I still kept it in my talks! The way AI generates images of beauty should be interrogated alongside the rise of fascism. link.springer.com/article/10.1... Talk here: youtu.be/cmtsWmdS1qw?...

Read this. READ THIS. Think about it. Internalize it. Kill the cop in your head and demolish the panopticon they watch you from.

This is a critical thread to read

I stood behind Jane Lynch at Burger King at the united terminal at LAX. My partner pointed her out, I'm face blind.

"All the wrongful-death lawsuits against OpenAI quote disturbing responses from ChatGPT that appear to show it validating a person’s desire to self-harm... " www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2... by @nitasha.bsky.social

Ah and the chaser, the "AI doomers" who are basically just fantasist navel gazers. Come on Guardian, why not interview actual critics that don't scare the shit out of people who don't understand how all this works by thinking magic is real?

Rest in peace you absolute legend of an artist

I don’t know who needs to hear this but posting “new year, new me” on social media isn’t gonna fix you. That’s what pretty new notebooks are for obviously

Ok this is actually brilliant. The Facebook sent me

My twelve-year-old daughter's Christmas haul included a cassette Walkman and a Discman, and music to play on both. Yes, part of it is STRANGER THINGS. But part of it is the seemingly inevitable swing towards throwback tech, coupled with the current longing to be LEFT ALONE TO LISTEN TO SHIT

I come back to this open letter (from 2020) a lot, and I’ll give it the last word. amazonemployees4climatejustice.medium.com/amazon-emplo...
