It’s a good pun, and it’s also true.
Butane has a density of 0.6 grams per cubic centimeter, water 1.0. So it actually is a lighter fluid.

On Twitter, I once did a thread that said, “If you have concerns about someone I follow, like they’re problematic in some way, unless you and I are close friends, I don’t want to hear it.”
This video is one reason.

Fun fact:
The cup she is drinking from is called a Capillary Cup. It holds a liquid specifically by surface tension, relying on capillary forces to feed the liquid to a narrow spout for drinking.
This is necessary because conventional cups rely on gravity to work.

Truth is, there isn’t a simple tell for AI writing. We’d like to believe em dashes are a giveaway—those are easy to spot.
No, the best tell is to look at the content. It tends to be formal yet boring. Well constructed sentences that say nothing.
Lack of intentionality is harder to spot.

i think -- and yall are going to jump me for this -- that most people cannot identify most ai writing because LLMs are trained on the writing of real people. and i think the moral superiority olympics that are currently happening are just as dangerous to real writers and artists.

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.
The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

So as expected, judges have ordered the administration to use the contingency funds to continue paying SNAP benefits.
Assuming no further hiccups (lol), payments should resume, albeit backed up at least a week, so continue supporting your friends with mutual aid.

Not even a decade ago, these same insipid articles were being written about millennials. I swear I’ve read this exact article near verbatim back in 2017 or so, only changing a couple of collective nouns.
“At the same time, more than half of Gen Z members say they are struggling to make ends meet, yet a majority buy themselves a small treat, such as a pastry, coffee, or sweet, at least once a week. That can lead to overspending…”

Seriously, give me a stick figure drawing that makes my stick figures look like Van Gogh over any of that soulless AI slop.
I need every beginner artist out there who thinks their work isn’t good enough to know that in this AI-poisoned environment seeing your raw, human art gives me fucking life.

Please remember to vote come November 4th. Local policies will have a direct impact on your life. They matter as much as the sexier national elections.

So an off season election is upon us, where all us Americans are voting on local issues that historically have very low turnout.
Local elections are in some ways more important than national ones. One way to combat fascism is a thousand municipalities hitting them with bureaucratic nonsense.

There was a demo of some tech from Microsoft I think a while back where someone with impaired vision could look at an object and the glasses would describe the object to them.
That’s a very clearly useful disability aid for any smart wearable! What became of that?

I guarantee that every single "useless invention" can be very helpful for a disabled person.
Yes, including smart glasses.
Signed, a disabled person who would actually find smart glasses very helpful, but the creepy bros are making increasingly sure that that could never happen.

Very good point.
AI is itself a very broad term that covers everything from the programming that makes the Goomba chase Mario when he gets too close to ChatGPT.
Colloquially, we’ve shifted AI to define a narrow and appalling slice of itself.

Generative AI chatbots managed to claim the entire space under the AI label, taking credit for vastly more interesting and useful technologies by virtue of presenting a bad example that the confused could cling to.
I am REALLY curious to see how they try to similarly poison quantum computing.

Important thread I did.
A lot of autistic people, including me, cannot work in an office environment.
For the last twelve years, 100 percent of my income has been self employment, and I'm going to talk about the struggles of self employment while autistic, and why this works for me.
Originally on Twitter, March 2022.

I’ve seen arguments that Trump can still run for VP because of the word, “Elected.” The 12th amendment states, “no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.”
To me and most legal experts, it seems like a solid no.

I’m seeing on TikTok speculation about how Trump could get a third term, most hinging on the language of the 22nd amendment that says, “No person shall be ELECTED to the office of president more than twice.”
They argue he could assume office unelected. This is nonsense and pure fear mongering.
