Every day, I do things. And yet, without fail, the following day, I am expected to do additional things. This is some bullshit

Morning walk

Reading this and going "ohhhhh right, yep, it's going to be sex assigned at birth on all of these, isn't it".

Can't help but notice that the media breathlessly reporting on the messages that shooters write on their bullets seems to have been followed by a surge of shooters writing messages on bullets

You simply cannot make me spend my time on this stuff. Oh the president said Tylenol causes autism? Well it doesn't. No I'm not going to pore through research papers to prove it to you. That's not what my time is for. My time is for playing videogames and gazing lovingly at my wife.

You know how we still haven't seen any photos of the engraved bullets from the Kirk shooting because they're, y'know, EVIDENCE. But we get to see these ones? Uh huh.

FBI BOSS: “Did you write the slogan on the casings?” FBI GRUNT: “Sure boss, anti-ice stuff, just like you asked.”

The only good time for a class to be scheduled is 11am, and even that’s a bit too close to lunch

$400 to go!

So... Newsom is dehumanizing law enforcement officers by... *checks notes* requiring them to show their faces?

So trans men are men, but trans women are... also men? And non-binary people don't exist, obviously.

the perfect wall clock doesn't ex......

"How I, a non-developer, read the tutorial you, a developer, wrote for me, a beginner" by Annie Mueller 😅 😂 😭 anniemueller.com/posts/how-i-...

Don't you dare put that baby in pelican mouth.

Gentle reminder: everything is awful so you may as well go ahead and start dressing like a wizard in public.

I wanted to know why the final 9 characters of the Japanese katakana Unicode block weren't viewed as valid katakana by the (third-party, obscure) Python package I was using... so I asked in work slack and got an answer within 10 minutes. Working with nerds is great. :D

First of all, how dare you.

Today I learned judges have a tl;dr order.

So to be clear, the judge is not striking the complaint down because Trump has not made a claim. He is striking it down because it is incredibly long and argumentative.

Look, make up your minds and pick an acronym. Is TIVE a domestic terror threat or are trans people examples of NVEs (nihilistic violent extremists)? We have extremely busy social calendars and very attractive partners, there is only so much terrorising we can fit in.

me: making art is difficult. criticism is harsh and cruel. doctor: treatment is simple, stay away from your worst critics. go spend time by yourself me, bursting into tears: but doctor,

It's quite impressive even by leftist standards that the party appears to have splintered into factions before it's been named or launched.

Huh wow turns out the people who wanted to misgender and deadname trans people and use racist slurs never cared about free speech, they just wanted to misgender and deadname trans people and use racist slurs

Pretty sure this image acquires more dogs every time I look at it.

A producer told me once she has to warn young crewmembers to avoid being alone with Aykroyd. "Not because he's a creep, he's a gentleman. But if you let him strike up a conversation the next thing we know all the PAs will be huddled in his dressing room learning how humans evolved from dolphins."

I'm trying to be very mindful of how much doom I put on my feed, but I also don't want to live in a world where posting a selfie of myself is a criminal offense.

This would make it illegal for any site that has trans content--not just porn, but everything from trans people posting selfies to essays to comics and stories featuring trans characters--illegal in the state. You've seen how fast the Age Restriction shit spread. Don't pretend this isn't possible

This particular bill is unlikely to pass (it's in Michigan) but here's where the bigots are going apparently 🙃

ya ever think about long eggs? no? just me?

I know authors can't put things like "ICE interactions, MAGA politicians, commentary on the current state of the world" in their content warnings, but... sometimes I wish they could :( (Currently working through NK Jemisin's The World We Make in very small bites)

Important.

There is absolutely no way that Google is generating labels like the ones described and then not training on them. Sure, MAYBE they were originally intended for moderation or evaluation, but they’re perfect RLHF labels too. But Google lies even when the truth is easier and better for it, so 🤷

Exactly this.

I WILL enjoy bread time, thank you friendly sign.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk makes we worry we can no longer have peaceful discussions of whether gays should be stoned to death or civil and collegial debates about whether black people are inherently inferior. Our culture will suffer. New York Times tomorrow

It’s true.

Yeah, I wanna know what these supposed expressions actually were. Actual far leftists have way too much to say to fit on a bullet unless you use 4pt fonts.

They could have come up with *anything* for this lie and it’s so interesting that these are the two they picked. That is: whatever your view on trans issues, you have to go pretttttyyy far to the right before “anti-fascist” is considered bad. Not even “Antifa”, just anti-fascist.

you heard the man

Q. Who aligns the aligners? A. alignmentalignment.ai Today I’m humbled to announce an epoch-defining event: the launch of the 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗜 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀.

in a sane world, this would be normal and not a radical position

“It’s chilling that a person we thought was a normal, unhinged campus shooter was actually a political assassin. You see a deranged guy with a rifle on the quad every day. I suppose it was a little suspicious that he wasn’t shooting droves of students.”

this is really not good. but it's also a great demonstration of how much you can trust grok for information.

Mamdani: We need to make public transportation so good that “no matter how much money is in your pocket, you say: I’m gonna use this.”
