Recognize this for what it is: The wealthy, ruling elite are trying to turn you, your friends, and your family into illiterate workers to make you easier to exploit.

A friend works in media and is looking for a disc ripping solution to rip 64,000 dvdr’s. Anyone know of multi disc rippers? #mediasky #datasky

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.

We don't know if you're ready to see our definition of 'gatekeeping.'

Might have to focus on posting non-political content for a while because I am burnt out and cranky at the lack of nuance the average poster evinces. That’s possibly asking too much, but surely some of these people know better, right?

I need a stronger metaphor besides “rose-tinted glasses” to describe how many are praising Biden, Pelosi, Obama, et al for either procedural occurrences or dispositional traits. The reductive praise often feels fawning and gross.

Yo, don’t do this shit.

youtu.be/TsmhJwhsIGc?... #NowPlaying Naevus has long supplanted Swans as a rock group I can listen to at any time. Mainly due to the earthy and personal nature of the content. Swans often seemed to be about powers & principalities. Naevus sings about a guy in a ditch and one’s station in life.

More than just “the usual suspects”. 18 is unconscionable.

youtu.be/ciQmJtJskd8?... Two things can be true: Tapper is a grifting hack AND Biden’s difficulties wasn’t JUST “a bad debate performance” and stuttering.

Thanks to @adifficulttruth.bsky.social for the heads up re: this account. Not 100% if it’s really the official account or not, but regardless, do not engage with them. Just block and move on.

i think it’s not talked about enough that so many christian rightwingers support israel because they want to trigger the end times rapture and they believe supporting israel will ensure this

Sorry, but personally it’s hard for me to catastrophize the recent world news because of all the histrionic saber rattling that has occurred over the last 30 years.

One bright spot for trans people in Montana: Today's SCOTUS decision does not touch Montana. That's because Montana overturned its gender affirming care ban through the state Supreme Court. States are allowed to have protections that go beyond the US constitution, and thus that ruling is unaffected.

Someone on TikTok asked if I revived Cartoon Planet again, who would I cast to replace George and Clay. I informed them that I wouldn’t do a revival. Some people don’t realize that George and Clay were dear friends of mine and that some questions are horribly insensitive and shouldn’t be asked.
