I saw everyone saying, “Hey the Neil Gaiman expose is really harrowing”, so naturally I shrugged those warnings off. And, uh… however bad I thought it would be, it’s much, much worse. Sending love to all of his survivors — particularly the ones who still struggle to think of themselves that way.

me when any program's AI assistant asks me if I want help writing:

Here's the thing about the Blake Lively drama. I think it's something many women who've worked in male-dominated fields can relate to. Blake lively is probably not perfect. She probably has flaws. Maybe she spoiled. Maybe she's a bully. Maybe she's tough to work with. 1/

I’m ambivalent about the nurse Hannah drama as a whole but my word some people better prepare to lawyer up if they want to make these kinds of accusations without hard proof

Fifty. Six. Percent. Increase. In. The deaths. Of. Pregnant. People.

If you pay for a NYT subscription, drop that and support Katelyn—who does incredible journalistic work—instead. If you don’t pay for NYT and you can afford it, support Katelyn too!

Lindsay Buckingham has got to be monitoring the progress of a legal precedent for “this song is unlawfully mean to me” with bated breath

What specifically bugs me about students using AI to cheat is how uncreative it is at being lazy. I got through four years of English class never reading a single book, and I didn't need AI for that. You need to practice your bullshitting at an early age if you want to thrive as a lazy adult.

"Womanhood is biological as emphasized by my performance of it"

Oh wow no way

Don't call Elon Musk "Elonia" as an insult. Wft is wrong with you?

“a better future isn’t possible” is explicitly a right wing view and everyone needs to do a better job rejecting it for themselves and drumming it out of younger people

Advice for parents: don't buy the ball pit. Don't do it. There's no amount of enjoyment your kids could get out of it that would make it worth it. Don't buy it.

R/daddit drama: OP agreed to a light show for his son’s first xmas, then realized it clashed with a game he wanted to watch. Asked if he could ditch the light show and prefaced the question with “my wife had PPA when I agreed but now she’s better”. Threw a fit because everyone said “no”.

The dystopia keeps getting stupider and stupider.

finally over my food poisoning. a Thai restaurant in Brooklyn is going to get the most insane order they’ve ever seen tonight

Ben Mulroney is one of Canada's finest failsons. Dad was a shit prime minister in the 80's. Nepos himself a media/hosting career. I once watched him on a red carpet reverse position the microphone everytime he and the celeb started talking...so no one ever talked into the mic.

If you are passionate about accessibility and inclusion and also don’t like seeing children in public no you aren’t

There’s a WHAT

Yeah, unfriendly reminder that “ironic” transphobia is still transphobia. Same with homophobia, so knock it off with the Trump and Putin are boyfriends jokes

underconsumption core

Periodic reminder: a lot of what makes AI "work" is exploited people doing the tasks, just hidden behind fancy websites. It's good that a normie outlet like 60 Minutes is reporting on this.

what’s stunning to me is the reaction from rightwingers experiencing actual moderation on bsky. they don’t seem to realize how aggressively extreme their own rhetoric has gotten. these are like, facebook grampas posting memes that a decade ago you’d only find in the nazi edgelord parts of 4chan.

It’s a movie quite literally based on eugenic beliefs and it sucks.

This obsession is unhealthy. Our horizons are fine. Also social media, for most, is not a job. It is not school. It is socializing. And it’s fine to say “I don’t want to hang out with Nazis, homophobes, transphobes etc in my free time.”
