Yeah, that’s because “AI” can’t think and therefore can’t create cohesive flow from one idea to the next. It can only put words in a statistically-likely order so that it superficially sounds like it’s making sense.

Like I know there are edgelord leftists out there who look down their noses at shit like No Kings but sorry you guys, the more mass protest looks fun and family-friendly, the bigger it gets and the better its chances of being broadly effective

When I see a politician who stands up for trans rights, even though I am a cis white man, I know that is a politician who will stand up for the most oppressed group in America, and therefore will stand up for everyone, trans, gay, straight, Black, Latin, Asian, anyone.

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.
Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs
Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

I foraged some acorns and beech nuts today and set the acorns up to leech and roasted the beech nuts and they’re nice tasty little nibbles, even if I did accidentally slightly scorch them.

Oh by the way, cancer vaccines are probably a thing. Too bad they're firing all the immunologists and public health specialists at the CDC.

Cancer immunity in a shot.

Scientists at the University of Florida have created a breakthrough mRNA cancer vaccine that erased deadly brain tumors in early human trials without chemo or radiation.

It is now moving into Phase 1 pediatric trials.

The Trump-Vance administration blocking Catholics from receiving the Eucharist. The Trump-Vance war on Catholics and Catholicism.

As the procession reaches Broadview, priests have been denied access to ICE detention facility in order to bring the Eucharist to detainees.

Honestly it’s not a petty complaint at all. It’s just a single example in a deeply terrible societal pattern of being a pest about consent.

On its own it wouldn’t be a huge problem, but without the broader pattern, which does amount to a huge problem, the specific symptom wouldn’t exist either.

This is the pettiest of complaints, but I’m sick of websites and apps removing “no” as an option. It’s been replaced by “maybe later” or “ask again later.”

I swear there is a direct line between anger about women’s consent and this and it WILL be what drives me to villainy.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Your condescending bullshit is what has no place here.

No one is forcing you to use an option you don’t want by suggesting that it should be an option. Mind your business, and if you don’t like being called out on being a jerk, don’t be one.

For any who need to hear this:

Most people, throughout history, have not had to cook every day. It's not weird to not always have the energy to do that. And when you have some but not tons of energy, a lot of packaged or frozen foods have gotten good in the past 20 years.

Well you don’t get to dictate to other people whether or not they’re allowed to set different boundaries than you want to set for yourself.

You can remove it from your feeds list entirely, and never accidentally switch to it again! 10/10 recommend.
redshiftsinger.bsky.social
Not worth it when I can get excellent feed curation by simply not using discover and following people whose posts I want to see! “Pretty ok” is still not great.

like seriously team, I know y'all are working on both improving Discover and on better reply sentiment filtering and all, but it's going to take a while to tune it properly and a "never show my post on Discover" setting would be a 10 minute fix that would get 65% of why people want private accounts

I had a post reach the Discover feed today and was once again reminded of how many people on this site are not house trained.

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

Having once accidentally killed my own gut bacteria, I can say from experience he probably had a really bad time making that attempt!

Dems are fighting back in a lot of ways across the spectrum. Even Schumer and Jeffries.

They are literally all “doing something”. The simple fact is we aren’t going to be saved by a little band of scrappy heroes, though. Real life isn’t a movie.

Farm bankruptcies are back in the news, so it's time to pull this chart out again.

Hey look they kept rising during Trump's first term. Then they went way down under Biden.

Now they're up again? So weird. Thanks Farm Bureau for the graphic
Screenshot from Farm Bureau article on farm bankruptcies. It shows farm bankruptcies climbing steadily 2014-2020, falling by half in 2021, & continuing to fall through 2023.
