Quote I saw: Insults are the highest form of communication for those who have no arguments.

The theme music to Daredevil: Born Again strongly reminds me of the theme to Westworld. Apparently the composers are different, but they are VERY similar to my ear. #DareDevil

#BlackMirror has some good stories, but they do love to show computer programmers as barely-functional, socially awkward weirdos, and that's problematic.

Checked the moon this evening in case @scalzi.com prophecy came true. Sad to report it is still made of rock.

As a former child junior olympic-level runner, I have a few thoughts on the attacks on trans girls in sports. I ran for one of the most competitive teams in Southern California, and people who ran for my have gone on to become professional athletes. And these bans: they're fucking NONSENSE. 🧵

“A.I. makes art accessible.” Art has always been accessible. There was like a six month period where I drew all the sketches for my comics with a lined notebook from the grocery store and a random green marker.

#Misophonia

I can understand Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson needing to hand the franchise over, and placing it in new hands isn't necessarily a bad thing. But not American hands. Not the hands of a billionaire who could actually be a Bond villain. #Bond #JamesBond www.bbc.com/news/article...

It’s happening Again

Paul, (of Matthew and Paul, who I follow on YouTube) is a children's author. His book was fed into an AI generator, and another book produced which is essentially Paul's book with some very minor differences. #AI #Books #AICanFuckRightOff www.youtube.com/shorts/i2yId...

I have many regrets about Earth, but making humans in a wide range of colors, shapes, and temperaments is not one of them. Celebrate thy diversity. Love each other.

The U.K. Govt is considering a law that allows them to steal everyone's I.P. for the purposes of A.I., *unless* that person *OPTS OUT*. Not opt-in. Opt OUT. In other words, they can steal anything instantly, to feed A.I. machines. #AI #UKGovt #Theft www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiE6...

Who is your celebrity “Birthday Twin” (born same day as you)? Answer with pic or gif only.

Ever have one of those days where you just wanna throw dynamite at things?
