Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced.
Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.

I don't know, I just think art should be an earnest, heartfelt expression of emotion and lived experience, you know? A machine that cannot cringe cannot make art.

Very sympathetic to my friends whose streams benefit from or depend on SAMMI, but the timeline of their dork founder coming back saying "I'm going to save this doomed project... with AI!" only for the entire dev team to quit and everybody dropping it is, separate from everything, extremely funny.

On behalf of the Pit Crew's fundraiser for Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC, we ended up raising $11,317.45 in total. I'm floored by the generosity of this community. I don't know what to say apart from thank you!

Every time I get an email or read a post about how "AI is inevitable" and so you need to do X or Y to get ready for it, I screenshot it. I've saved them all. When the bubble bursts, I'm going to be a menace. I will be unstoppable. I will be taken to prison for the harassment I am going to do.

The reason why almost all politicians are uniquely terrible at their job is because their role in society is to act as an interface between a broken system and people who they hate and refuse to interact with. Most politicians could improve marginally if they got yelled at by normal people more.

Using Charlie Brown and Lucy as a metaphor for the Dems and the GOP respectively, when she pulls the football out of the way, is particularly apt because typically the person who holds the football and the person who kicks the football play for the same team.

i'm really annoyed the internet has reached a point where people by default think every game is bad, especially with older ones. i get this from random chatters no matter how much i am enjoying myself, streamers have their whole personality revolve around trashing every tiny thing, it's exhausting
