If you ever doubt yourself as a writer go read Olivia nuzzi. Your writing talent is meaningless compared to your willingness to fuck old men

I am going to do a Top 100 Movies of All Time list and treat the talkies the way most lists treat the silents:

Half the list will be films released between 1895 and 1905
Forty more films from 1906-1927
The final ten spread across the 20th century, nothing released after 1999.

My heart goes out to all the people terrorized by ICE & the National Guard this past year but go off.

I always say that it's better to hold off on blaming a particular political side for an act of violence. Here's why I'm blaming today's national guard shooting on the woke left.

Drawbacks of AI, ranked:
5. Invents legal cases that don't exist;
4. Consumes massive amounts of water and energy;
3. Uncanny valley human renderings with too many teeth and fingers;
2. Is a precarious financial bubble;
1. Won't stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God's creation.
Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

This is insane shit. Yesterday when I saw that Open AI response to the suicide was to victim blame, I really thought that would be the lowest shit. But here, Google acknowledges AI is bad for kids but FUCK IT deal with it, parents. Trash company. They don't need to do this shit.

The same nations that claimed to be the defenders of human rights and international law are the same nations that did this to a tiny strip of land, once home to 2.2 million people, 70-80% of whom are descendants of refugees who fled Israeli ethnic cleansing in 1948.

I just want to take a socket wrench to my tick knee, ease the pressure on these extra moist days. Like RoboCop. Always envied that about him.
It's wack how much the image of transhumanism has been captured by techbros whose vision of "using technology to improve the human" is, like, putting electrodes in your head to make you productive, and not anything actually transformative

Yeah, one of the real flaws with Bluesky is that if you make a post whose message is basically "hey, do the losers at this place still have a stick up their ass about my machine that steals their writing?" it attracts negative responses.

It's a weird glitch, and it's certainly not *your* fault.

If you're really "excited about AI" then you should probably not talk about it here, where the community is predominantly made up of people who are being stolen from by AI and people whose future is being destroyed by AI.

"I have no idea how this technology actually works but my editor is mostly interested in engagement clicks so we proceeded anyway"

My latest: if there's anything incriminating in the Epstein files, those will never see the light of day. And if they do, Trump will inevitably skate again.

Give It Up, Folks: Donald Trump Will Escape Justice for Epstein Too
If he’s guilty of anything here, Trump will use the same tactics he’s always used. And, as they always have—they’ll work.
