AI kind of feels like the endgame of this bit Graeber described in the original Bullshit Jobs essay: these people have been so thoroughly cleaved from any sense of purpose that they resent those who have one. They hate artists for their skill and think poverty should be the price of having a calling

Drawing well is a skill that's easy to prove and instantly commands respect because universally, every human has drawn something at some point and knows how difficult it is. Growing up fat/unpopular I could still earn some respect because I could draw well. Ai assholes want that without the work.
there’s a long discussion to be had about how AI dipshits are /like this/ because they wanna cosplay as artists SO BAD and it’s not even because they wanna BE artists, it’s because they see artists as like, social media success symbols? Idk someone smarter than me can put it better

The movie is set at the start of Antarctic winter, which is around March. So no, it's not a Christmas movie.
Should John Carpenter's THE THING be officially classified as a Christmas movie? Let your voice be heard!

If you live in Ireland, remember that in recent memory a single rugby-loving bank CEO cost the taxpayer more than every single welfare recipient in the state COMBINED. #SpeirGorm
I would rather 50 people got benefits they didn't need than 1 went without food or shelter.
Hot take maybe but I actually don’t give a shit about benefit fraud.
I give a shit about multimillionaires and billionaires existing and not paying tax on their actual wealth.

In Morrow County, healthy adults were coming down with unexplained medical conditions, including diseases that usually afflicted the elderly.
In a survey of 30 homes, at least 25 miscarriages and a half dozen people living with one kidney were reported.

So apparently gay rams are often killed because they don't tend to make more rams.
So this gay farmer buys the gay rams to keep them alive and sells the wool!

4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.
On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day

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.

I'm acting as executor of my late mum's will, and at long last the grant of probate finally came through so now I can make some actual progress on that.
Though it does mean I have to remind myself about all this administrative stuff that I've been Not Thinking About for the last six months or so.

starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again!
