re: generative AI

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.

And now, you can use it, too.
So please be gentle, and remember it was made from love for good causes, even if the execution is clumsy. (Maybe we could pretend it's just a little warped from the sea air or waterlogged from being thrown overboard? 👉👈) #OFMDSAC 🏴‍☠️📕🗓
Good news: Yesterday was hinge day for the advent calendar, so I'll announce the fundraiser tomorrow 🎉

Bad news: I'm not a crafter, I'm an idiot. Turns out adding a door to a pre-existing object with drawers is beyond my skillset, despite visualizing, measuring, and sketching mock-ups... 1/2

"Behold! Happy little trees."

"Oh, Ed, that's wonderful!

the Platner discourse has frustrating echoes of the Newsom discourse, in that people seem to want us to just give up now and lock in without waiting to see if something better turns up. this isn't blackjack! we can keep asking the dealer to turn over more cards for like another YEAR
Anyone telling you this spells doom in Maine is being silly.

It is now 230 days until the primary and 377 days until the general.

And it’s not like the campaign has already been going for a long time. Platner just announced 293 days before the primary and 440 days before the general election.

Nothing’s funny anymore, but “23% of Americans yearn for the White House East Wing to be demolished” is sort of funny.
“YouGov polling conducted Tuesday found that 53 percent opposed demolishing part of the East Wing, 23 percent supported it and the remainder were unsure.”
this article gets to some of the questions I've had about this www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Keefe! That's one more thing Max took away from me. I want to watch the last season of Gemstones 😭 Maybe Netflix will want to buy that (and Hacks) too.

There's a lot of abstract talk about nazis right now and I just want to bring it back to concrete reality for a second:

Those motherfuckers tried to murder MY GRANDPARENTS.

This exactly how Black folks feel about the Confederate flag
If some group had tried to murder YOUR grandparents, would you be cool with someone having a tattoo of their logo? Would you accept that it was a "youthful mistake" or that they just didn't understand it? Would you let it slide bc you don't want to "alienate" people who don't think it's a big deal?
This is very kind and smart of you!

Pirate pals - feeling a bit hopeless but wanting to give back to this community. Given the uncertainty of SNAP benefits on November 1st, I'd like to offer to buy some groceries for a few folks. Please DM me if you'd like this help, I can set up delivery through Uber Eats or whatever.

Trying to not ask too much, but I am still trying to get as much as I can raised to help pay for my dental work next month. If anyone is still able to help anything is appreciated! Thankfully I've also picked up a small side job for the month to help get at least a little extra cash as well!
Hey yall, I need to raise $2200 dollars to afford dental care that I need next month and I do not have any way to save that much or set it aside on my own and I really need this work done before my tooth gets worse. Sharing my kofi here in case anyone is willing and able to help even a little!
