I did it!

I’m going to fucking jailbreak this bot

Ran into my first AI generated support ticket response😡Harvest has an error in their report generating tool where retainer payments get counted twice: once when you receive them, then again when you apply them to an invoice. So you get a report saying you made much more money than you did. 1/2

Making this shit happen

I love Danville. Thrilled that they’re getting new sidewalks and have a guy on council who knows exactly why sidewalks are important.

When people say things like “I never went into music expecting to make any money” they definitely need to clarify whether they mean they didn't expect to make any *sales* or whether they didn’t expect to get paid fairly for sales they did make. Two totally different things that often get conflated.

First ebike rider sighting along Rt 231! It would be so cool if the traffic along this rural highway skewed more bikes and less cars Also I need an ebike

Fuck the reflecting pool. This has not gotten nearly enough coverage or generated the proper outrage. People thrown in prison for 30-50 years for the "crime" ofmaking zines and belonging to a book club!! This is straight-up totalitarian atrocity. Political prisoners thrown in a gulag to rot.

Happy Father’s Day, here are a handful of great quotes my grandpa Bob gave in 1970 that make me proud and inspired

I’m playing a game to learn the Linux terminal in honor of Father’s Day :)

The current state of plant based protein and dairy options is so good

Everything is made of such soft metal nowadays, I hate it. I broke a can opener recently bc the wheel with tines bent and wouldn’t connect with the other one, and basically every screw head gets destroyed the minute you try to use a screwdriver on it

😌🙏

I went down a spicy bowl rabbit hole last night and now I want to make a spicy bowl so badly

Seems like the only way to earn any money nowadays is getting a settlement payout for wrongful termination because of your Charlie Kirk posts

It is so nuts to me to think of the fact that I lived in Charlottesville Virginia in 2017 when the Unite the Right Rally came to town. Even more nuts was learning that one of the marching Nazis was Murphy Harkins, a person I hadn’t thought of since we were both students at St. John’s College in 2006

Hard to think of a thing I’d want to spend my money on less than this tbh

Man fuck HBO, dont fucking tell me how many times I can update my household

Read through the entirety of this zine 20 Watts from Takoma Park MD station WOWD today and I’m feeling so full of love and appreciation for little print magazines. They’re great!

I have unfortunately learned that Robert W. Malone lives in Madison County VA 😑😑😑😑

Bike lanes in Madison County VA would be SO DAMN GOOD. Every weekend I see bikers on the highway with cars slowing down from 55mph to go around them

Incredible bike infrastructure on hwy 29 😑

There are replies saying “looks like this is fixed now” but ultimately that’s beside the point (if even true), the point being that it’s so fucked that search is changing from “type in what you‘re trying to find” to “give instructions to a chatbot”

Chili oil is such a god tier food item

A cat showed up at our house tonight and I hope it comes back so badly

It’s time

Eugene Vindman also voted for this

Curious what others think, but I see the VA redistricting failure as Dems fault in large part. IMO the measure should not have made it to the ballot due to the timing issue, but bc it did voters had to suffer the demoralizing letdown of seeing their wishes thrown out by the court.

Well it looks like VA right wingers saying things like “Fairfax demoCRAPS will push data centers on us!!!” were 100% right 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

I think winning a door prize of some sort would heal me

Just read about Google changing its search bar so it looks more like the ChatGPT interface and GOD is it exhausting living in the enshittification era

Spotify’s new “fix” for the flood of AI songs taking over the platform is a verification badge for human artists. This badge is ONLY available to artists with over 10,000 monthly listeners for three consecutive months.

I will do my part by not using AI to do more work 🫡🫡🫡🫡

Very happy to have a print copy of the Charles Mingus CAT-alog for Toilet Training Your Cat

If a person does not have a deep deep respect for full, accurate citations—almost as a core facet of their philosophical outlook—that person is not a scholar pure and simple

Lurker (2025) is such a good movie!

Oh god I’m being punished for quote skeeting an immunologist with a Substack 😭😭😭

I’m very excited about this and I hate that articles always have these qualifying statements like “the real-world impact might be felt by only a narrow band of individuals“ like BRO this is good for EVERYONE please chill out with unnecessarily whittling down who might care/benefit

I loathe that genealogy site now includes these fucking “summary“ bots. A genealogical abstract is a precise thing and details MATTER. Really great thread.

You’d think libertarians would be all about masking—a market option where you can pay more for different styles/protection levels. It’s funny (sucks) that instead of simply viewing masks as a tool, a lot of people view them in through the lens of mask *mandates* and get all “you can’t make me!!”

Cool name: Mourning Hurt

Few things piss me off more than the metaphor of an LLM as a grad student

I found an 1813 smallpox vaccine petition for Culpeper County VA today and it’s so funny that there are bits about “the prejudices of the ignorant” and people “who as yet have no confidence in its efficacy” Historic anti-vaxxers! 🤣🤣🤣

I think it’s so funny that the Mormon church is a huge reason for genealogy resources being as accessible as they are.

Also the only way LLMs will “transform” historical research is if you’re trying to transform real work into a bunch of slop

Extremely worth noting - the Black Zine Fair was a masks-required event! And hundreds of folks came and wore masks and had a great time! This is a doable thing, y'all!

Apologies for bringing up The Atlantic but I saw this and immediately thought “robotaxis are the *BEGINNING*????“ if we’re judging by transport, CARS are the beginning, robotaxis are just taking the antisociality to its next logical place“

Re: Virginia redistricting, is there a reason why the initial vote on the redistricting measure took place after early voting for the general election had started?

Dangit

I don’t think people trying to dunk on this article actually get this article, sorry to say
