I've seen the term "botlicker" around quite a bit but I was NOT ready for "COG SUCKER"

Deep ocean, deep space, potayto, potahto

Did they think the robot that couldn't tell you how many Rs are in "Strawberry" would be able to handle inventory?

You can tell I went through a bad breakup recently bc when people ask what I’m up to the answer is “I knit a sweater and I’m learning Akkadian”

Right like I’m supposed to trust them to NOT let all these little guys past my gates???

Akkadian of the day. Prepositions are hard.

the George Foreman Grill is doing what Ivy League colleges can’t

Obviously there are a lot of things to say about this, but I haven't seen anyone point out that this place is just on the other side of the mountains from Fresno State, which has the best Ag department in California--WITH LOTS OF CATTLE!

Lately I've been feeling like I don't actually do any work, that my work is just supporting and encouraging and facilitating others' work and somehow getting credit for shit I don't do. And then I remembered my top Clifton Strength is "Developer" 😒

UC Berkeley Law creates new AI policy that bans AI for "conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit" or exams because "thinking remains the sine qua non of good lawyering (and of a quality legal education)." That's what I'm talking about.

I’m not sure what this is but it’s working for me

Wtf is this

A Monday wedding is crazy but I looked good 💅🏻

Always amused during air travel to encounter so many people having their first day on earth

No one goes to Riverside voluntarily

I regret to inform you this is the Akkadian word for “mother” in my handwriting

A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y

read the article making this argument and it just reinforced the 3d printing analogy. the industry hype with AI is 100x larger, but the pattern was a similar "this is going to change humanity" to "this is going to revolutionize specific industries" to "this will be a fun hobby for eccentrics"

🤢🤢🤢

Good morning from goose fam. Babies are fluffy and thriving.

I regret to inform you Akkadian is a case-based declension language :(((((

saw this on an ACT UP poster from 1988 at the Poster House museum today. the more things change :)

Become ungovernable

Find me on OnlyBrains

hang on now...

Where are y'all finding these garbage-ass men??? I have never once gone out with someone like this. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

I have a goose family with three fluffy babies in my backyard so ✅

Literally me since 2013 Twitter. Love you all, my close personal friends

I changed my pfp but it's still me I promise

It’s like these people have never read a history book

Broke: Childless Woke: Child-free Bespoke: Under-babied

Exactly! "...we will have an ouroboros of corporate crap. An infinitely long inhuman centipede where the original nutrient of creative fire is transformed into infinitely redigested shit. Will we get used to consuming this degradation the way that Americans got used to eating microplastics?"

Weird that so many people resist a technology that promises to ruin the environment, steal your data, ruin art and make you unemployed. Buncha luddites.

The problem—which both the GOP and the milquetoast institutionalists seem to not be grappling with here—is that the more you close off avenues of political change through the democratic process, the more you push people to see extra-institutional mechanisms as their only option

I LOVE COMMENCEMENT 😭😭😭😭😭

What I wish for everybody to remember when Canvas comes back online: The reason OUR data can be held for ransom is because Instructure, their owners (KKR private equity & Dragoneer venture capital), & our own employers (see ASU Atomic) monetize it. It's Canvas that hacked education & stole our IP.

Rep. Justin Jones burning a Confederate flag during the special session on Tennessee redistricting Jones: “It’s a form of Jim Crow terror — this is about race. This is about power. This is about silencing communities that have historically been excluded”

This headline from Justice Roberts and the red banner of what Tennessee just did to Memphis after the SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act..

WHO WANTS TO LEARN AKKADIAN

What does a university have that Google cannot offer its workers? Art History departments, Classics departments, History departments, Music Theory, etc. The humanities are what distinguishes universities in an AI economy. Universities defunding the humanities are digging their own graves.

Who up crying over the new baby geese in their backyard 😭😭😭😭😭

You don’t say 🤔

LFGGGGGG

Saw someone wearing a tshirt that said “Looking for L’Amour,” and I’m choosing to believe she’s really into mass market westerns
