Using genAI alienates you from everyone else. It doesn't democratize art, it atomizes it. No genAI user is gonna get an outpouring of sincere support from others because even they themselves don't give a fuck about what they're making.

im sorry to be tweeting about sports like cis het

quinn hughes is my fav hockey player, and no its mostly not about how he looks like sad puppy at all times, but its a plus.

It is frustrating that the NYT profiled that AI grifter when Romance is such a load-bearing corner of publishing. You wouldn’t do that unless you actively hate books and the entire cultural apparatus around them.

the one little thing we do so right in france is refusing to say american when we mean usamerican

i will take any opportunity in my life to yap about good boy, i will not stop, i refuse

reviews on goodreads have doubled on my favorite book since i've read it last december, in a month +1/2 it got more reviews than the last 6 months before,,,,, good boy taking over the world soon soon

i hate when people who do horrible things come out with a 'im in the hospital due to the harassment" post and now suddenly there's the expectation the vile things they've done are not bad actually

in lights of you know, current events, may i direct u to give vincent woodard's book a read: (internet archive has a free dl link) archive.org/details/toaz...

Liam was taken from Columbia Heights, the town just south of my high school in Fridley and just north of the Arts district in NE Minneapolis. I spent a lot of time with friends there after extracurriculars. News of his abduction completely broke my heart. I’m glad he’s home. #Comics4Liam

Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

Harrison Browne: “USA hockey has quietly barred trans people from participating in hockey safely. Myself included. The policy stipulates that sex assigned at birth is the eligibility to be followed by ALL leagues. Even recreational adult leagues (BEER LEAGUES).”

shoutout to the Bruins for doing what im asking a little bit today!!!

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

No hell hot enough

if you engage with stalking culture of celebrities you dont respect them as people btw. its so fucking infuriating to see

really hate to see how actors who portrayed a gay couple terrified to be outed, are now hounded by paparazzis and their supposed fans are supporting this breach of their privacy and speculating on their sexualities.

as a hockey fan, i'm always angry at the NHL but i'm even angrier lately, you're telling me hockey is getting the best pr of all time and a massive flow of interested people bc of heated rivalry and you guys are not even taking part in that??? How bad can u be at your own game?? (capitalism)

absolutely torn apart by how many people i see praise and love this AI book, we're reading slop and we don't know it. So many people genuinely invested in supporting an author and a work, and its not a human one, its pretending to be what it isn't

the worst thing about gen AI is that now art has to be looked at with suspicion. Having to consider that art could be simply a husk with no human instead of engaged with earnestly: soul crushing. I dont want want to live in a world like this.

last year i hyped up this book/cover bc its beautiful + the premisce sounded great. Then the book got pulled to be re-published (it was originially self-published), and now its back, with a new cover. Turns out the og cover was stolen + the book is at least AI-edited. Stay away from it

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.

im so glad i read heated rivarly before the show came out and then the show came out and my gay ass had the best time ever and now everyday im experiencing so much queer joy realted to it im just

I've been wanting to recap my 2025 reading, and highlight some of my favorites. I picked up reading again after 10 years, last april. Since then i read 61 books. Here are all of them:

conveniently ratio'd for either legal or half letter size, so you conveniently can just print it out on any printer if you like, whose going to stop you (not me)

Abolish ICE!!! US militarism is out of control and needs to be stopped. Don’t look away, don’t stay silent, don’t comply. Keep filming ICE, report sightings, and know your rights. Your silence will not protect you; dehumanization anywhere is a threat to humanity everywhere.

reading is such a lonely experience

happy year of Goldship

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words. But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

watched women dancing together in one of the building facing mine, they looked so happy even so far and its snowing and it made me cry how happy they looked

Your power bill has tripled and you can't afford new PC parts just to create this.

Just want to point out how funny/sad it is that the same people who will refuse to refer to a trans woman as "she" have no problem calling ChatGPT "she."

fucking hell i switched to firefox just last year and now this

im working on my best character design in years rn

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

oh my god dead man wake up,,,, the casting of glenn close in this role, closing the loop of social commentary resonance from fatal attraction to the stepford wives romake,,,, oh lord it is all forgiven, the anti 70s feminims blowback,, its all circled back its beautiful
