Chat, is it a good sign when the Atlantic's Thanksgiving take is "cabbage is affordable"?
Cabbage is affordable, delicious, and astoundingly versatile, @giladedelman.bsky.social writes. The underrated crucifer “is fit for a king”:
The Most Underrated Thanksgiving Vegetable
Embrace cabbage.

Gather round, children, as I regale y'all with the story of Auntie S and her Thanksgiving Napkin.
So my mom's side of the family is adult-convert Jehovah's Witnesses (we were not). Aunt S, the oldest daughter, married up so spent her entire adult life trying to be a dutifully submissive wife. 🧵

It's funny how seeing this made me rapidly reflect on all his lyrics & books and realize how much casual misogyny I just sort of shrugged off as being an example or study of the genre and not like, yanno, his actual belief system.

I think it should be legally mandatory to disclose whether your last relationship ended due to your usage of AI, like w/ infectious disease. At least there's PrEP for HIV; I can't fix "so emotionally stunted that you'd rather love a computer that can only tell you that you're God's specialest boy".
one of the more bleak aspects of ai chatbots is it’s starting to blow up real marriages

Had another one with this same person but you *wouldn't pull me up from the edge of a cliff*, then the entire time you kept flinching when I touched you, kept spitting up chewed food on me, and wouldn't actually fuck me.
And the curse continues 😩

Had a sex dream w/ one of you in it except you decided to eat a mystery pill (prob fentanyl based on your behavior), you wouldn't stop answering your phone or rotating weirdly in the bed, & we kept getting interrupted so there was like...maybe 15sec of actual sex. I continue to have bad sex dreams 😩
I FINALLY HAD A SEMI-ACCEPTABLE SEX DREAM

Happy Sunday, I'm realizing I'm gonna die without ever having good sex in my entire life lmao
That post was nonsense but I just wish dudes would stop being aggro about insisting on it if we say no. Like some of us genuinely don't enjoy it, but now I've gotta stare at the ceiling, make the occasional affirming noise so he doesn't get mean, and dissociate for the next 1 to 30 business minutes.

I don't see why it even matters if LLMs are sentient when we already take every opportunity possible to deny basic rights and dignity to entire swaths of *other humans* who've been deemed lesser. How's using a supposedly conscious LLM any different than the slavery that props up our entire society?
i think our cultural infatuation with “the Turing Test” has been disastrous.

I have been followed for the last 20 miles by a car with its brights on and I just think I should be allowed to pull them over and forcibly revoke both their license & car on the spot for this
