Yessss let’s go socialism!

Lots of anxiety about *gestures* the end of liberal democracy tonight. I hate living through this

Post 4 female characters you love and pass it on

Yea we truly live in a post-fact world, where a mad king says things and the media simply repeat the mad ramblings as factual. It’s terrifying when you think about it for more than a few seconds.

“Both sides are bad.” Sure, but one stole candy from the grocery store and the other murdered a child. They’re not the same.

As per yesterday's Reuters on the heatwave: 'At least 18 people died in France, including two children left in a hot car' - and this is the picture they chose It's not new that the media is complicit in climate denialism, but that doesn't mean we have to accept it.

The biggest threat to our democracy and fair elections is Donald Trump. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I fucking love being queer

listen to locals on how they were lied to about the generators only being tested, then being on forever. using plexiglass or mattresses trying to keep sound out news people matter of factly say it's "essential infrastructure" and context of story is new power plants or easier connecting to US grid

"Holy shit, look at me, I'm doing something that just a year or so ago I found really hard and stressful and confusing, but it's second nature now." Generative AI deliberately removes this, entirely, from learning.

There's a part of learning, which generative AI completely turns into dogshit, which is *doing something you could not have done before* Whether it's drawing, playing an instrument, solving a physics problem, organizing an essay, you find yourself doing easily what previously you found overwhelming

Someone raised on it, immersed in it, who has *never* created anything, will have zero referents for any of the language used to describe creativity or growing skills in expressing oneself through a medium. It'll all be a figure of speech they don't understand and which their chatbot gets wrong.

Think of how much effort, individually, is required to drag someone out of the atrophied creativity that genAI induces, and how when this scales to a societal level it's pretty much guaranteed to take generations to recover from.

every time you see a headline that begins with “we have to,” replace the “we” with “you” and you’ll immediately understand the purpose of the piece and the power dynamics at play

Hey academic pro-AI influencers: the companies for which you’re influencing don’t love you and will replace you

Gen-AI has no place in any creative industry. It is designed to replace skilled creatives and cannot and should not co-exist with actual hardworking people. No excuses. No claims of time-saving or efficiency will ever outweight that its primary use is to not have to pay artists/writers/creatives.

stop generating crap you look stupid! 🐟

maintaining a certain vigilance against AI art is very exhausting and like it's tough because sometimes the paranoia is actually accurate lol but also it's just such a mentally draining way to be. i don't wanna scrutinize everyone's drawings!! it's miserable!!! shit sucks! fuck this tech!

Full stop

I am once again BEGGING people to learn the difference between serotonin and dopamine 🙄

When I rescued and adopted my formerly feral kitten (now 3 months old), I told my friends I hoped my next cat would be a “shoulder cat.” I now have the claw marks all over my back, shoulders, neck, and collarbones to prove I got my wish. He literally will climb up my body like he’s climbing a tree.

Vaccines are humanity's greatest scientific achievement.

I guess one difference between Jim Crow then and Jim Crow now is that we have cool graphics to show how it's done.

every time i have to see father's day advertisements shoved in my face i should get a thousand dollars

I love gay, everything we do is slay ✨

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was an anti-fascist German Lutheran pastor who opposed Hitler and the Nazi Party so effectively that they murdered him in 1945. He is only a bad guy if you literally spend all your time on far-right, neo-Nazi websites and have pickled your brain in fascist group chats.

I know he didn’t write this because there’s zero chance he knows the word “subsidize,” let alone what it means

I know the focus in Maine has been on Other Things but let us all remind ourselves that Susan Collins is awful and needs to go

If this is right, it amounts to a total U.S. capitulation that trades very specific benefits to Iran, some of which (total sanction waivers) take place immediately, for vagaries on nuclear materials ("will be adequately addressed") and the Strait (no mention of tolls/fees).

pettiest thing I’m mad about w corporations embracing genAI is that they’ve historically always been obsessively controlling over ensuring brand guidelines are followed, but now as soon as they don’t need to pay an invoice to a human, its fine when their mascot has 3 arms
