she’s full of shit you guys i’ve read it the story is good
its a pretty self indulgent story but i say that about most things i've been writing recently. i should really reign myself in and write things that are like......technically well-constructed. on the other hand. the people seem to crave my near-shitposting. so who can say what good literature is.

congrats dog u invented twitter
Recently had an idea to improve the car horn by replacing it with a device that projects your voice like a megaphone - so you could more clearly indicate your intentions.
Immediately realized that would usher in a cultural dystopia.

do sperm banks engage in fractional reserve parenting..?
Vat-children, decentralized app based gig-economy fractional parenting. The future is visible for those with eyes to see.
honestly as somebody who likes children but also has no strong appetite to be a parent I would welcome about a quarter-share in a kid.

So i logged into my Lucky in Love account (my sockpuppet account, not my real one) to get a feel for how the day's spread would go. Not good. Massive heartbreak everywhere, bunch of old accounts I had thought were totally off the market back online. Good and bad, though.

this is good shit btw, isabel has a knack for writing stories that make you feel emotionally displaced in a very specific kind of way.
i was, of course, very normal when we started dating and read most of her short stories because i was absolutely captivated by that feeling.

a lot of authors talk about wanting to write the representation that they didnt have in the fiction they read when they were a kid. and thats good. unfortunately, what i want is for everyone to experience the alienation i felt reading books as a kid.
woe. estrangement be upon ye.

ICE raided a Morristown laundromat and kidnapped ten people including a high school senior. get these thugs the fuck out of our communities and then get them the fuck out of federal employment. then, ideally, get them the fuck in front of a court.

I am helping a church pull together a community meeting about preparing for ICE and everyone I'm reaching out to "yes-ands" me.
I am 40 and I have spent my entire adult life organizing, and I have literally never experienced this before. It's wild.
People are DONE.

i hope all the people resisting ICE on the ground know how fucking inspiring they are. minneapolis right now, and chicago and LA and charlotte and DC and portland before them, you’re setting the blueprint for the future battles sure to come. thank you.

i’m always polite to Claude but also using it on most tasks is an exercise that swings wildly between awe at how capable it is and the most tiring, exasperated frustration with how much i‘m stuck fixing either by re-prompting, tossing context, or fixing stupid garbage myself & reloading the session.

If you can substitute "hungry ghost trapped in a jar" for "AI" in a sentence it's probably a valid use case for LLMs. Take "I have a bunch of hungry ghosts in jars, they mainly write SQL queries for me". Sure. Reasonable use case.
"My girlfriend is a hungry ghost I trapped in a jar"? No. Deranged.
