This is so amazing

Just coming out of my brief holiday break from the news and having to slowly back away with my hands up

The guests are gone, the sticky toffee pudding was delicious, and there's a winter storm rolling in tomorrow, during which I plan on sitting in front of the TV and eating my weight in chocolate. Merry Christmas ya filthy animals!

An excellent thread

Did I maybe go overboard with Christmas baking this year? Perhaps. Will I still be sampling every one of these for quality control? Absolutely.

I wonder how many acres of rainforest were burned down or how many gallons of water were poisoned in the making of this soulless bullshit that nobody likes or asked for

What a great headline

I think it’s pretty clear at this point that one of the main impacts of LLMs is to disrupt thinking: to make it so that far too many people never properly learn how to do it, and then to control the output so there are thoughts that people never learn how to think.

But why???

My 11 year old daughter is now officially taller than me (I am 5-7.5" for reference) 😭 What happened to my tiny baby?

Everything is too expensive and you can be kidnapped off the streets or shot by a bigot at any moment; you can't go to the doctor or get a vaccine or read certain books or learn history or speak a language other than English but hey at least a computer will drink a lake to talk to your kid for you

Perfect ad, no notes

Really sad, she was one of the good ones

Climate change, pollution, and fishing are pushing oceans closer to their limits at an unprecedented rate. The pressure of that human impact is expected to double by 2050, according to a new study. www.wired.com/story/human-...

Go Romancelandia 😆

Virginia state elections are November 4th. Virginia is our opening electoral salvo against the administration--a place where control of the State House of Delegates was decided in 2023 by just 975 votes. If you can, please join us in contributing. www.grapevine.org/giving-circl...

Berlin was the home of the Institute for Sexual Research, one of the oldest centers for queer and trans people, with so much research into gender transition. Nazis burnt that down as fast as they could www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-...

Hubby brought home a little treat for our 13th anniversary 🥰

Just walked around the Toronto Zoo for 5 hours, and I am BEAT. Kids had a great time, though, and a good way to cap off the summer. And here's a zebra

Hello it’s me Sam Altman I have a zillion dollar idea it’s a chat bot that tells teenagers to kill themselves and you can generate csam with it and it poisons the air and water and it’s wrong most of the time and we’re going to put it in your refrigerator and stuff 👍 I need more money for this btw

i'm not shocked at all, this was inevitable. as always, Kelly Jensen is the most important person to read on the book banning beat. [the fact that there IS a book banning beat makes me want to lay down and die] bookriot.com/the-next-boo...

Still debating an epilogue (thoughts? opinions?), but it's done!!! 🥳🥳🥳

Hey, ummm... it's my birthday.🥳 Celebrate by buying my books, maybe? Everything kinda sucks now, but they don't, and they're both on my website www.allisongreyromance.com

Even if this were possible—which I firmly do not believe—it would be unequivocally bad. We need to stop funding evil stupid ideas with billions of dollars and our dwindling natural resources just because the richest guys in the room are also the most gullible. We need checks and balances on wealth

Once again, for those at the back: DO NOT USE AI TO THINK FOR YOU

There are a million reasons not to use AI (theft, job loss, the propaganda, the absolute dystopian-ess of it all), but this has got to be one of the main reasons and we should be shouting it from the rooftops. We are HURTLING into climate catastrophe that alone should be enough to put an end to it

I think about this a lot

Unfortunately, still extremely relevant

I'm worried she'll fall off, but I also don't want to wake her up. Quite the dilemma.

Please sign and remind our government that there is no future in oil, just more devestation

Signed!

I know everything is terrible right now, so I thought I would share my sweet baby angel having a little nap, keeping me company while I write 🥰

I hate this so much. Just ew.

Ooh, think I'll pick up a copy!

Correct

It gives nothing and takes everything, and yes, I wish it would just GO AWAY

Go, little tomato, go! Also... huge love to the #NOKINGS protesters today 🙌

Had YouTube music playing while making dinner and SP's 1979 came on. Have listened to that song a million times, but today I just started crying cause I could remember BEING those kids in the video and that ache for lost youth and everything is so shit now

Please, just let it DIE

Please, just let it DIE

Hey fellow Canadians, our country is on fire (literally) and the Ontario government wants to start selling off our land and resources to corporations. Please, please, take a minute and go tell your MPP to #StopBill5 naturesdefence.ca/2025/04/30/s...
