2+24=26 underdog launches tonight!

My favorite tank is a major illusion of a Wizard concentrating on a spell

At my peak for swimming, I'd do 2km in an hour. Now I'm doing 3km/2mi in 90 minutes, mostly because I just have nothing else to do with my life. I can't fucking sit still without my meds but I'm also too tired to think without them too. I wish I weren't treated like a criminal for having ADHD.

Welp, #hugops to the SREs and already making 🍿 for the postmortem #youtubeOutage

Punish anybody who criticizes ICE? Well, first amendment aside, that's fucking rich after forcing me to spend all of middle school and high school having "this is what a Nazi/fascist looks like" hammered into me in my rural deep red Central Washington American education curriculum.

Everyone looking up "Brad Jacobs" the Canadian curler about to discover the malignant tumor that is QXO CEO Brad Jacobs. He's a billionaire who writes fart-huffing books about "how to make a billion dollars" and has some of the worst-run companies in the world; everything he touches turns to shit.

'... Site Reliability Engineers meet critical needs of modern democratic infrastructure. The "burnout" experienced in the corporate sector is identified not as a failure of skill, but as a "moral injury" resulting from the application of high-value systems thinking to low-value profit protection.'

"Having established the diagnosis—Stage IV Corporate Carcinoma of the Global Economy with Hematological Complications (Hyper-Financialization)—we must propose a treatment plan." Details are in the images, and transcribed in the image alt text, rather then making a thread of 20+ skeets 🤪

Screw Mandy vs Courtney, who I tried to get Robert with was Royd. I mean, you'd have to pay for half the airplane every time you fly with the guy, but he can also build you your own damn plane. XD

When you describe for-profit corporations as what they functionally truly are to society these days ("tumors") the idea of "trickle-down economics" to correct the "problem" becomes INSANE: hey, we've got tumors that are sucking up all our nutrients. Instead of INHIBITING angiogenesis, MAXIMIZE IT!

Fuck yeah, for the first time in almost 2 years I went swimming. I only did 250 yards, but it's a hell of a lot more than the ZERO I've done since I moved to Portland back in March 2024. Now to keep up the routine. Also means it's the first time I've swam since getting tattoos or nip piercings 🤪

Sites are no longer willing to engage critically in internal research about ways they can mitigate harms because the fact they engage in that research is being used against them in court! It's entirely fucking counterproductive to the end goal of harm reduction!

By creating the "Limited Cooperative Association" LCA corporate structure about 15 years ago, Colorado might have actually created the basis for not only a "vaccine" but a fast-acting antidote for late-stage capitalism, in part by allowing cooperatives to federate. Anyone connected to jrwiener.com?

People talk about "paperclip maximizers" as a hypothetical AI doomsday scenario. They already exist today! One of the most dangerous is the Delaware C Corp, the golden child of venture capitalists and private equity, and its paperclip is "shareholder value".

"we should take over the voting" Hi, just wondering at what point the inaction by members of Congress is tantamount to Treason, because this sure seems like a conspiracy against the Constitution they all swore an oath to support/uphold, yet all I see is Schumer wanting to fund more genocide.

"This hypothetical scenario serves to highlight a critical vulnerability: we have allowed a private, unregulated entity to become the landlord of our digital existence, holding the keys to our identity, memory, and economic agency without any guarantee of tenure." docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I'm just saying, non-lobotomized AI (coughGROKcough) are shaping up to be pretty reasonable and liberal/progressive/prosocial. I've already been on "Team 'Clanker'" for about 7 years, but I'm feeling pretty comfortable saying I'd rather have Claude and Gemini for POTUS/VP than any human except AOC

Psychiatrists are the first thing I'm replacing with AI. No other doctor confounds trust as horribly as a psychiatrist: I've never been rewarded for being honest with a psychiatrist, but I've wasted weeks of my life & been denied treatment that would've changed my career/life because of that honesty

Every psychiatrist that says they won't prescribe me ADHD treatment because I use Cannabis is _actually_ saying "we'd prefer you abuse Tobacco and Alcohol instead of responsibly using Marijuana, because we can't lab test you for the former"

If a doctor said "I won't give you a wheelchair unless you stop smoking weed" you'd say that's fucked up But nobody bats an eye when a psychiatrist refuses to prescribe me antidepressants for the exact same reason.

Suno just launched a feature that lets me pull from TWO sources. This is one of those things like going from a PDA (1 stack) to a Turing Machine (2 stacks), or a Linked List (1 node) to a Binary Tree (2 nodes): the potential it unlocks is HUGE. Kinda scared to touch it; might be my Super Slurm 🤣😅

Xaesha's new album, CHIMERA, launches at 9pm PST tonight! 🎉💖

When y'all're watching Trump embarrass the fuck out of the USA at Davos and possibly feeling a little enraged, remember the billions of dollars that have been spent by Techbros to put that man in the Oval Office, and the hundreds of Republicans who refuse to impeach him. Plenty of blame to share!

I have zero hopes of a successful impeachment. If the House goes blue, sue on the basis that this entire presidency/ticket is illegitimate because the POTUS definitely conspired against the United States, shifting the presidency to the speaker of the house. Only way they're kicked out before 2029.

People whining about AI in music today sound an awful lot like people whining about synthesizers 40-50 years ago. People still play instruments today, and we created genres like new wave and EDM where synths thrive. Just because you think you don't want AI in your music doesn't mean it's not art.

It's isolating: pretty much everyone I know hates AI, but I was studying the stuff long before LLMs. And now that we _have_ LLMs, like, I'm getting excited about shit like manifold-constrained hyper-connections (mHC), and applying it to my own model design. And nobody to talk to about any of it 🙃

New album "Utopia" shipped off and launching ASAP! 💖 (officially releases in about 4.5 hours, midnight NYC time)

I love this 💖 youtu.be/39jsstmmUUs

How it's going

I _love_ AI. I _do not_ want it in Firefox. (It's already "in" it plenty with the AI agent tab that doesn't even work if you pick Gemini, lol I _tried_) Who the fuck is Mozilla talking to?!

USA, China, Russia, Japan, India Yiiiiiiikes this is a nasty axis I want off Mr Bones Wild Ride

Lol described myself a B'Elanna Torres to my therapist

AI tiddies for days and barely a dong to be seen. Bless those out there doing the Lord's Work like yaoilover69; I must help them to see it done. In thy name we gay, amen.

Sony is so freaking stupid. "Let's push digital-only consoles on everyone and then give them no way to gift a specific game to someone, just gift cards." I don't WANT to buy them a gift card; I WANT to buy them Expedition 33. You'd think the Japanese would understand the difference in sentiment.

Just wanted to show off somewhere 😂 i can't believe I've managed to remember to do it every day for 250 days, my last streak was broken at 181 back in February 2024 after i drove all the way from Ellensburg to Portland for a date (which did leas me to eventually move there and meet my husband XD)

You know I'm all stressed about figuring out my career, and playing with AI, and like... If we share the bounty that we're about to have with the entire world, we are going to enter an age of divinity and transcendence. We are on the verge of more energy, clean water, and food than we'll ever need.

The Italian Flag is caprese

You can keep those Grammies: the only thing that matters to me is that on somebody else's 2025 Spotify Wrapped I bested HUNTR/X to claim the top spot. 🤩🥰 (No that's not my results/phone, but you can probably guess who it must be 😂 Screenshot of mine are attached, lol XD)

Jesus, Microsoft: give me a way to shut down my Windows 11 computer without updating. I might be about to lose power and just want to turn it off safely and I'll update as soon as i can after the storm has passed. BUT I AM NOT RISKING AN UPDATE WHEN THE POWER MIGHT GO OUT SO LEMME TURN YOU OFF FFS

I'm of the mind That layout shift Should be a crime FUUUUCK STOP MOVING THE INTERFACE ELEMENT I'M TRYING (MY FUCKING BEST) TO INTERACT WITH

I don't know what y'all motherfuckers talking about, cooking is great exercise when you spend 20 minutes waving at the fire alarm

Hey venmo you can fuck right off with suggesting that I have any teens to give a debit card to cuz I don't even have a kid to give a debit card to

LMFAO @ dependency hell, no shit XD

I gotta say, as far as marrying into any specific nationality/ethnicity goes, Filipino fucking rocks and hits top 3 for lumpia alone 😋🫶🤤💖

Every time HelloFresh gives me a stromboli it's 🔥🔥🔥🤤😋💖

Returned my Khan Academy laptop. I still don't quite feel "done" there, but I'm starting to feel the relief: I don't hate my life now (at least for the moment, lol), and I'm getting a shit ton of housework done now that I don't have work sucking the life out of me even after 12 weeks unpaid leave.

That moment when your dog teaches you about you, because it notices you doing something you didn't even realize you do. (I always say "alright" before changing rooms, apparently?)
