"You know that text is AI if they use em-dashes. You'd have to be some kind of autistic freak to even know how to type one." First of all, you're right. Second of all—though I feel a little hurt at this point—there are DOZENS OF US!

y'know it's kind of a tell that they think celebrating the end of slavery is DEI

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" ok well I asked Gandalf and he said he has not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Oh youre jacking off to the sabrina carpenter sexy dog pic? Boring. Ill instead be jacking off to the album covers of Schubert , and Strauss

i dont get involved in politics, im not interested in news, but ill gladly let an IDF guy glue my dick hole shut if it'll help him feel safe

Holy FUCK he's coming out swinging! I'm dead 🤣 I want to travel back in time to when I was 8 years old to tell myself that even though everything else goes to hell, we REALLY DO GET SPACEBALLS 2: THE SEARCH FOR MORE MONEY!!!

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

As a full on shut-in, I am humbly begging anyone who can tolerate being in any large public space to protest and keep protesting, and graciously thanking all of the people who do.

Really good piece by @leahgreenberg.bsky.social on the strategic logic of public protest in this moment.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

three centuries ago the tongue of the Right Whale was esteemed a great delicacy in France, and commanded large prices there

SSRIs saved my life and it is not lost on me that these people think that's a bad thing. So they can blow up.

this speaks a bit to my argument about leaving twitter. it's not about ideological purity, it is about the fact that it's been turned into a political weapon for people who wish to use it to harm others. it's not the marketplace of ideas - you do not have to participate in this project! very simple!

Oh sure you’ve been in arguments online where the other person completely misread you, but have you ever been “accused of necrophilia” misread
