Art class should never stop being a thing. Like if right after our lunch breaks we all got to go down to the basement, throw on a smock and make collages out of old magazines while somebody's slightly witchy aunt tells us how great we're doing, I feel like we'd all be in a better place

Trans folks: as best you can, tune out the headlines, spend time with one another, build friendship and community. This wave is going to break: their political projects have never been less popular. Were gonna make it through this year and on the other side all our enemies will fall. Stay alive

If he says “covid is over” and YOU are saying and acting like covid is over, then you agree with RFK. You can’t color it any other way. So ask yourself, what does it mean that you live in accordance with the lies of this man, despite your liberalism, your commitment to Social Justice?

There is no responsible/ethical/etc. use of "AI" when the underlying training data is stolen and labor exploited.

kamala harris would have been just as bad in the sense that she ran on beefing up cops, criminalizing protest, increasing funding for ICE, and committed to making the american military "the greatest fighting force in the world." then she would've lost re-election to an even more explicit fascist.

I blame this on too many people having a reading of DS9 that just says "See! You thought the federation was all rainbows & Talarian puppies, but there was messy, GRITTY stuff there, man!" …When the entire point of that show was about finding a way to live federation ideals, THROUGH the grit & mess.

Immunocompromised ppl do not want to stay home. We want happy, fun lives too. I want nothing more than my life back. I was a show producer. I was out 6/7 nights a week. Please get help for your PTSD and stop taking it out on disabled people who don’t want to be any more sick than they already are.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

COVID was the ruling classes experiment to see if people would give up on the social contract to prioritize themselves, once they saw people were willing to let disabled, elderly and poor people die for their own convenience, they have slowly taken the mask fully off day by day and now we are here.

This might seem odd if you're cis and have always seen the NYT as an esteemed institution, but please, listen to trans people on this. The NYT has run so many harmful articles about trans people and trans youth the Onion even made a snarky article about it. They're not to be trusted.

It is not unreasonable for disabled and vulnerable people to ask the rest of the population to stop killing them, to allow them to exist as part of society. To stop participating in casual eugenics. Current vaccines do not stop transmission or meaningfully reduce risk of brain and organ damage.

Wikipedia editors trying to fend off the onslaught of AI crap have crowdsourced some telltale signs of LLM-generated writing; it might be handy for editors and proofreaders generally. Thanks to
