hey CBS here's a pitch for my new show, NIGHTMARE BLUNT ROTATION

New: Bari Weiss booked Hillary Clinton, Mike Pompeo, and Antony Blinken for a roundtable on Gaza, her first major move at CBS.

Notably on a CBS call today in which the panel was floated, one producer also repeatedly emphasized the need to hear from Palestinians in Gaza (Weiss did not respond).

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

“ai” is not an accessibility tool
it’s a *lying* *chatbot*

rebranding it as an accessibility tool is downright harmful to people who need accessibility tools to work correctly, not work “sometimes guesses correctly and otherwise makes shit up that is very fucking incorrect”

they called it AI to fool yall into thinking applied linear algebra was the genesis of a non-human living entity and it fucking worked on you rubes

rephrased: @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social praises swaggerless man who gave up the role of a lifetime (for some) in exchange for a bribery flight that costs less than a used ps5 at gamestop

CHILLUMINATI @chilluminati.bsky.social · 13d

imagine giving up the role of a lifetime (for some) for a used ps5 at gamestop without any games

CHILLUMINATI @chilluminati.bsky.social · 13d

it is very funny though that he lost one of the most influential and powerful mayoral roles in the entire country in exchange for a free flight to turkey

i once brought this up with an apple employee (with a similar shade of skin color as me) and they said they’d be fired if they or their coworkers ever said how they truly felt about this lmao. not sharing more details than that so you bsky hall monitors can’t try to get them fired

MSFT has removed an Israeli surveillance platform from its Azure cloud.
www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Microsoft has terminated the Israeli military’s access to technology it used to operate a powerful surveillance system that collected millions of Palestinian civilian phone calls made each day in Gaza and the West Bank, the Guardian can reveal.
Microsoft told Israeli officials late last week that Unit 8200, the military’s elite spy agency, had violated the company’s terms of service by storing the vast trove of surveillance data in its Azure cloud platform, sources familiar with the situation said.
The decision to cut off Unit 8200’s ability to use some of its technology results directly from an investigation published by the Guardian last month. It revealed how Azure was being used to store and process the trove of Palestinian communications in a mass surveillance programme.
In a joint investigation with the Israeli-Palestinian publication +972 Magazine and the Hebrew-language outlet Local Call, the Guardian revealed how Microsoft and Unit 8200 had worked together on a plan to move large volumes of sensitive intelligence material into Azure.
The project began after a meeting in 2021 between Microsoft’s chief executive, Satya Nadella, and the unit’s then commander, Yossi Sariel.

someone purchased one of my songs for $1 on @bandcamp.com today.

i was paid $0.15 for it.

they took out $0.75 for "revenue share" - which is their phrasing for retroactive fees on previously sold physical goods... i have never sold physical goods on bandcamp.

what the fuck is the point anymore
