If people were really just dying from chronic diseases then how come they weren’t dying from their chronic diseases until after March, 2020?

All HP Lovecraft stories begin like “I will try and relay the events as best as I can manage, though what I encountered that September night may not be able to be expressed in human language, nor be comprehended by the human mind” and then the story boils down to ‘I saw a building that was large’.

I understand Mr Beast is a successful businessman and he’s going to keep launching products but they got to stop putting his face on them. He’s the most off-putting person I’ve ever seen. Haunted ventriloquist doll face.

Global crisis style note: What Trump is doing to Ukraine is not 'blackmail', which would be demand for payment under threat of exposure of compromising information*. This is demand for payment under threat of violence/refusal to protect from violence. The word is 'extortion'.

As Trump's threats to Canada get more and more serious, I think a pattern that's playing out in the US will play out here too: institutions that support the genocide in Palestine will be the ones to most heavily normalize his messaging and downplay the threat he poses.

The NYPD and our criminal mayor accidentally Brady violating this guy out of a conviction because they can’t stop publicity hounding would absolutely be the most fitting end to the entire saga.

“To create a tilberi, the woman has to steal a human rib from a churchyard, wrap it in wool & keep it between her breasts. When she takes communion, she must spit the sacred wine over the bundle. The 3rd spurt of holy wine will bring the tilberi to life.” Museum of Icelandic Sorcery & Witchcraft

It's been so run through pop culture as to seem almost corny, but I need you all to understand with the deepest seriousness available to you that the "First they came for..." thing was to prepare you for this exact moment

It's impressive that 30 years ago THE SIMPSONS managed to so perfectly capture both the quality of genAI output and the two kinds of responses to that output.

That was one of many, many peaceful protests. My Dad participated in plenty of them in the 60's. They arrested him, tortured him with electro shocks then kicked him out of the country

Any teacher who's getting students to outsource thinking to an AI is bad at their job. Full stop. And that one teacher complaining her students' work is "stale"? WTF? Rather than teaching them how to think & write more creatively, she's teaching them to just stop thinking entirely. Seriously, WTAF?

In 2015, a study showed that 1.6 million students attended schools that had a cop, but not a counselor. Schools are overly surveilled + overly policed. AI is an extension of this surveillance + policing. On that note, kids: do not ever say anything about your mental health to AI.

It’s wild how Bluesky keeps the one billionaire around so he can continually show his ass and give us our daily reminder that there are, in fact, no good billionaires.

Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.

I went to see a really good band tonight. Great musicians. Right up until they played Dixie for their closing number. "This one's for two of my great-great grandfathers." I walked out.

Songs from the 1940s fall into two categories: “Kiss me darling for I may die in the wars tomorrow and never see you again” And “He’s the Booble Bubble Boy on the Boat From the Blue! Woo woo be doo! Booble Bubble Boy!”
