on ZOHRAN's logo see, this is what you will never, ever get from "AI." it can't be done. never will be done. it has to be human.

You guys, Mamdani was the only Democratic candidate running who categorically opposed mask bans He was running against an establishment man with name recognition, huge amounts of funding & a history of abandoning the most vulnerable to die of covid This feels like a huge win for vulnerable people

Wracked with guilt because I accidentally tossed a plastic jar in the trash and not the recycling bin 🫤

LOOK AT THIS BABY

“CITY ON A HILL” IS AN ALLEGORICAL PHRASE NOT A GEOGRAPHICAL DESCRIPTION YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING MORON FAILSON

Anybody bother to ask these fine gentleman what exactly it is they want to say but can't in the fucking workplace

Cinnamon swirl bun

The main reason I keep masking

Request to replace all instances of "This is not who we are" with "This is not who we want to be."

I've been saved from drowning twice, and both times I went down quietly. Thankfully both times someone was nearby and watching when it happened. READ THIS:

I subscribed in 2016 when Tr*mp won and "Democracy Dies in Darkness" seemed like a reassuring motto. I unsubscribed when that motto became their PLAN.

The [NYC] Subway Is Not Scary. “It’s fine and safe. It’s full of women and children. There are tons of old ladies on there.” And: “You sound real corny being scared of the subway.” [hamiltonnolan.com]

I’m seeing a lot of people posting about how sick they are with a “summer flu” Main complaints? Fatigue, extremely sore throat, fever and loss of smell. It’s Covid. The Nimbus variant is here & appears to be more transmissible. It’s time to wear a respirator, clean the air & stay home when sick!

setting aside the crimes involved i don't say there is no potential use case i say that it is broken and lies to you and even a chance of it producing Absolute Fucking Nonsense makes it useless if you, like, care about anything

Shoutout to the waitress who served her holy water

yes they are. they are christians and you have to deal with that

I would much rather have a Microsoft Paint meme you clearly put together in 5 minutes with zero skill than an AI-generated meme. Every single time.

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger

Don’t be unnecessarily wasteful and throw away perfectly good working appliances, but if you’re in the market for a new electric pressure cooker I use a Breville Fast-Slow Pro and I love it with every fiber of my being

These are not brands I’m particularly interested in but now I’m damn sure never going to spend a single cent on them

'Long covid is now the number 1 chronic illness in children...' surpassing asthma. Heartbreaking.

“accumulation of cognitive debt” doesn’t sound entirely dissimilar to “accumulation of amyloid plaque” to me

the only place you can see a headline that mentions yesterday's protests on nyt's sunday digital front page is, funnily enough, in the little side column on the right, because against the best efforts of editorial prioritization it is their most shared article today

Masks are under serious threat at being banned widely due to politicization. This would be a public health disaster. If you are only wearing a mask at protests, please consider also wearing them elsewhere. The more people mask, the more we normalize masks and protect them against bans.

when I die, there are people who will be sad, and then life will go on for everyone ... but you know what won't happen, is there won't be fuckin mass parties in the street in every city in the country.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/live... I'm sure he "lunged" at Noem much like how all Black folk who get injured by the police do The oppressor's definition of "lunging" is literally ANY stepping out of place

A dad sneeze so powerful it started Graceland playing on the stereo

You do not have to say “pro vaccine groups.” You can say the vast majority of doctors and scientists and the American Medical Association.

There's a lot to unpack here. But the "why do people in the developed world die from chronic diseases at higher rates than in poorer countries" is because we survive long enough to die from chronic rather than infectious disease. This is epidemiology 101. It's not a mystery.

My local coffee shop is not playing around.

As someone who has now taught students in some capacity, I cannot stress enough how much person-to-person teaching cannot be replaced.
