Well, in your mind (regardless of birthdate) you're still like 22, so it's a shock to realize you're an Old. I look at my high-school classmates and who -are- these shriveled old people?

GenX has, like every gen before it, convinced itself that it's the Young. But it's eligible for AARP.
I just saw this exact sentiment in a real headline scrolling by.

Is it satire when it's dead on?
Republicans say they like fascism and Democrats say that they are against it. The truth is more complicated.
This is intentional. An ignorant populace is a biddable populace. They've been building it for decades.
The scenario in which there are oligarchs powerful enough to succeed at their AI con and force LLMs onto the rest of society is the outright fascist and dystopian scenario. That higher ed has largely capitulated to the scam means it had already been deskilled. We need to understand how and why.
“Ultimately, the collective strategy of AI companies threatens to deskill precisely those people who are essential for society to function(…) automation of knowledge and culture by private companies is a worrying prospect – conjuring dystopian and outright fascistic scenarios.” — @olivia.science
Picture or it didn't happen! 🦄
The latest version of that guy who comes up to you at a party and says, "I have an Idea! You write the book and we'll split the profits! 60-40!"
A really interesting, fundamental conceit of all these AI enthusiasts is that the ideas they have are great and all they need is this magic box to execute them. As pedestrian as these people‘s brains are for anything except self aggrandizement, I kind of doubt that’s what’s holding them back.
It’s tiresome at this point, but again, their entire pitch is “wouldn’t it be great if there were no such things as talent, craft, and skill,” and what that means is a bland, slop-filled world. www.businessinsider.com/marc-andrees...
I wrote today's last night after dinner. Solidarity.
Oh god they stink. I still remember from my childhood, visiting the fox exhibit at the local wild-game park. YEEEEE-IKES. Even worse than javelinas, and you can smell those coming from 100 yards away.
Ohhh no. So much love to you and Priya.

Just now reading murder mystery in which removing the ring included the finger.
World Central Kitchen’s Relief Team is on our way to Globe, Arizona, where rainstorms caused deadly flooding and destruction. Families are displaced, with the local schools serving as shelters, and businesses providing meals. #ChefsForArizona wck.org/news/az-floods

I want to stare blankly into the camera and intone, "Sir, this is a tortie."
Interesting thread.
he might try again and win.

Furthermore, Sinclair will be able to expert the same pressure they did on ABC against other networks.

This is why, instead of a Disney boycott, I'm suggesting a Sinclair boycott.
Pharmacist here in AZ today told me despite governor's EO freeing up the vaxx for all, they still require scrip because "we need to play it safe." I bit back many bad words.
I grew up in the Sixties. Oh, sweet summer children.
it’s funny how deep the american exceptionalism brainwashing goes. i know better. i’ve known better for years. i’ve breathed gas clouds just like this one. and yet every time i see pictures like this, i want so badly to say “i can’t believe this is america.” but i won’t. because i know better.
State media recites state propaganda.
The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.
Ghost tours can bring in Big Bucks!
Damn autocorrect. Of course I meant Janny.
@jannywurts.bsky.social does horse tracking. Jenny, did you know about this?
Hey, you lovers of horses, this is way cool! @dancinghorse.bsky.social
Scent tracking horses are joining the fight to end the missing and murdered indigenous people crisis, including a Native-bred horse from a legendary, historic bloodline, who set a new record for rapidly tracking a subject.

This is some Cultural Revolution shit.

Education in this country will take generations to recover. If it ever does.

An ignorant populace is a biddable populace.
How long will it take before graduate programs in History that focus on non-Anglophone regions get the same treatment? 🗃️
This isn’t an impoverished regional school – this is the University of Chicago. Devastating.
There are at least two more trying to ooze their way in. We have our big stampy boots on.

Local joke: Why do cowboy boots have pointy toes? To stomp scorpions in dark corners, that's why.
Oh my gods and giant skeletal fishes WE HAVE GOT TO SEE THIS
