Taco the miniature donkey feels your pain 😞

These issues are YET MORE reasons that masking in public during an ongoing pandemic, during collapse of healthcare systems, during an attack on public health, while fascism grows stronger, in a world where healthcare isn’t a universal right… is, in fact, the reasonable, scientific, & moral choice.

as charming and whimsical as some will view this, it bears noting that absurdity—not militancy or might—are what people have chosen to repeat from the portland standoffs against ICE.

why is that?

what purpose does this serve?

a mini 🧵:

The one good thing about them taking the horny restraints off ChatGPT is that we will never hear from some people again

If you dive into the QP from @theflytrapmedia.com, we have lower-cost options (you can buy a piece for $2, or access our entire archives for $6.66/mo and cancel whenever you want). I know that's still more than some folks can afford, and we do have some comp subs available funded by Bog subscribers!

Amidst all the stuff about the male loneliness "epidemic" there's a serious conversation to be had about how much bigotry has been made out to be harmless until the bleeding starts. These people will not stop at harming the Other. They hate all of you. And they want to watch you suffer and die.

I frequently say you don't need to protest. You don't! There are a thousand other ways to push back on fascism if protesting doesn't feel comfortable or safe for you!

But if you CAN go, this 10/18 #NoKings thing is really a key protest to participate in. Be part of it, friends.

I know the headline everyone's running with is "erotica" but "we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues" and "we are putting personality back in ChatGPT so it will act like a friend" are diametrically opposed statements

that's the cause of most of the mental health issues

it's that simple. people who are still pretending otherwise cannot be trusted

A Guy!!

Oh and Waffle House employees!

“We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive…” is one of those statements that (if I were consulting on any of the ongoing or prospective lawsuits against OpenAI) I would snag as evidence of actual knowledge of the risks of their product.

i hope anita bryant is getting pies smashed in her face for eternity as she burns in hell 😌

For new folks, the last 6 yrs I’ve run a vape/CBD shop in TX. Tariffs, import issues, and as of September, the first of many radical statewide bans have utterly destroyed the market. I’m working on getting out and following my passion but I could use some help, either directly here or share! Cats!

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act.

I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.

The pivot from “I’m building god” to “I’m building a jerkoff tool” is pretty funny

Oh my GAWD!!!

Consumer-facing "A.i." fucking sucks and you're embarrassing yourself if you pass it off for your actual thoughts.

I’m very very tired of “living in fear” being lobbed at maskwearers by people who frequently say they can’t wear one because no one else around them is.

Living in fear is ignoring science and endangering lives and your own health because you’re terrified of not fitting in.

The common theme im picking up among the young republicans in the politico article leaked chat is that they all should have visited a chocolate factory in their youth

i'm starting to love facilitation work more than anything.

getting people to slow down and breathe together feels like such important work right now. getting them to remember our values and our dreams, and to look at each other for strength.

i love it.

I have long believed that we should be WAY more vocal about how police and ICE constantly murder dogs, and I think this is great messaging actually.

The reality is that you can mobilize a whole lot of usually tuned-out Americans around a “someone is being mean to hecking doggos” cause.
