Maybe this Thanksgiving is what kills AI for good.

I've fine-tuned Bluesky experience to the point where whenever I try to figure out what the latest Discourse is, the search results are all people responding to accounts I've muted or blocked.

TIL that thousands of German teens facing conscription into the Hitler Youth/League of German Girls, said fuck it, I'll be a pirate instead, and the Edelweiss Pirates were born. Their slogan was "Eternal War on the Hitler Youth".

Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced.
Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.

It’s lost to time but a million years ago (I think after the Will Smith Oscars slap thing) someone posted something like “sometimes something really weird happens and all the analysis you should have about it is ‘wow, that was really weird’” and I do still think about that

Saw a post where someone pointed out that a judge at Nuremberg rejected “just following orders”
and sentenced people to death by firing squad and that’s just not right.
Most if not all death sentences from Nuremberg trials were hangings.
Because firing squads were for soldiers, not criminals.
