I can’t believe I have to say this again do not follow what these Democrats are saying and for the love of God, do not sit down at a rally where they are charging you with horses and shooting into the crowd because they will shoot you in the head and kill you. Do not sit down at a mass protest.

My 16 month old niece likes to grab my glasses off my face, so it'd be great to have one of her earliest memories being that time she playfully pulled half of her uncle's face off.

You absolutely do NOT need to RSVP or otherwise leave a paper trail to go to a protest!!! You can just show up! Masked even! #NoKings

i've been trying to see what the right wing platforms (even outside of X) are showing people regarding the protests in LA and i am not sure it can be overstated just how much the AI slop is being used to reinforce the idea that downtown is a post-apocalyptic war zone

"Undecided" is in third place, but if they pull off the upset does that mean I don't have to hear about the NYC mayor for the next four years?

Thank you to Benjamin Cardozo High School for creating a memorial scholarship in honor of my sister Susan Rohan. She was a teacher and longtime assistant principal at the school. Never underestimate the impact that good teachers can have on the lives of their students. #CardozoHS

It'd be a terrible thing if this tipline were flooded with reports of the invasive plants and animals across these United States. In Illinois in particular, it would be just awful if they got a bunch of calls about Black carp, Spiny water flea, and Zebra mussel. Not to mention the Buckthorn!

Society would be so much better if people could just think “wow that person is pretty” and leave it at that. Instead they need to make it weird.

Today’s news has me once again thinking about the time Mike Love was driven half mad by someone in the audience eating nachos.

oh dang, RIP Harris Yulin. He was a great character actor. "Buffy," "Frasier," DS9, GHOSTBUSTERS 2. Watch his DS9 episode, for real. It's the best episode from the first season, and a top 5 episode of it overall.

i know it's just advertisement but it still pisses me off when tech CEOs claim AGI will solve humanity's problems with its vast intelligence. for a lot of problems we already know the solutions, what prevents them being solved is not a lack of intelligence, but that the solutions are unprofitable

My favourite one like this is Don Henley getting Brian to autograph a copy of Pet Sounds. Brian signed it "thanks for all the great music" then thought for a second, crossed out "great", and wrote "good"

I mean, if what comes out of it is the understanding that work must be licensed and copyright owners compensated for work in the training data, then that's significant in itself. Much better than the current scenario, ie "oh no, if we have to pay for what we stole we'll go out of business, poor us"

I cannot stress enough that it is correct to be against the use of AI in writing at the same time the constant talk of "tells" absolutely throws a lot of people, esp autistic writers, under the bus. AI USES EM DASHES BECAUSE IT LEARNED IT FROM HUMANS GODDAMMIT.

the thing that really blows up the whole "bluesky is an echo chamber" discourse is that it pits outcomes (this place has particular biases) against structural issues (this place is run by a bad actor who systematically manipulates every aspect of it to forward his obscene agenda) which is fixable?

"Yeah, no. You're right. Here's where we are now: We're gonna give China access to technology they didn't have before in exchange for us maybe getting back to the level of rare earth magnets we were importing previously. Oh, and consumers are still gonna pay more for Chinese goods."

There is a very real chance Trump and Miller are greatly misjudging how the US public will respond to this illegal and aggressive display of power.

Generating 'new insights' is easy. Write random words on cards, shuffle, draw a handful. It's an age-old way of inspiring creative thinking, from Tarot to Oblique Strategies. The work is, as always, to put it mildly, at the back end.
