I hate that every week there's something stupid like an Everyone Has To Drink Pee Now Bill and the alert sounds to CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES THIS IS NOT A DRILL and you really wish you could just trust them to not go for the pee drinking bill

Ms. Rachel is an absolute hero. She’s gotten so much abuse for her extremely compassionate, humane - and in my opinion, common sense - views on children being hurt and killed in Gaza. But she’s not letting that silence her. Bless you Ms. R.

the faux-AI evangelists see the artistic process as a race to get to a finished product, instead of something valuable in itself. the process is where you develop those skills you don't have yet, it cannot be skipped, it is where the art happens
I have grown to believe that excessive wealth does something to your brain that is analogous to a serious head injury

I really appreciate how long the computer on Star Trek takes to do things. Someone asks "Computer, do a cross-analysis of all similar subspace phenomena over the last 500 years" and the response is "Calculating. Estimated time to completion is 4 hours". That is a reasonable amount of time imo

I was teaching in austin during this race, and another teacher in my cohort was dear friends with Jessica Cisneros, the woman running against him.

Nancy Pelosi gave $4,000 to incumbent Henry Cuellar in December 2021, in his Democratic primary rematch vs. progressive Jessica Cisneros. Dem leaders circled and backed him.
The next month, FBI raided Cuellar's home.
He won the primary in June by only 289 votes. He was indicted on bribery in 2024.

Which views the BBC considers unacceptably political in its presenters is particularly telling, isn't it?
Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

it's actually kinda funny in a way to get to the finish line of curing cancer and having the government go eh you know what. never mind
A tiny trial in New York has shown that personalized mRNA vaccines can provoke massive, lasting immune responses against pancreatic cancer, even as sweeping federal cuts now threaten the fragile labs required to produce them.

mainstream liberal parties like the democrats are partners to their conservative colleagues in maintaining a misogynist/white supremacist system, & it is always odd when you see criticism of that system misread as what it is actually criticizing. it is 'mediocre white man' to not love chuck schumer

The thing that gets me about this is that even if we wanted to make a positive AI ad, they never showcase AI being used to enhance someone’s day or improve their workflow. There’s no “it allows me to more easily do what I love.” It’s always presented as a failsafe for the dispassionate and incurious
Every ad for AI is like
Person: FUCK!! I don’t know what to get my loved one for Christmas!!!!!! I love them so much!!! Tell me what to do, AI!!
AI: get sock
Title Card: You are literally the smartest person for doing this

i love how (iirc) precisely one episode of star trek tng shows that the 'night' shift on the enterprise has dimmed lights on the bridge. like it's a commercial jet or something. excellent

one annoying thing here is that in the series of shots showing the man being thrown out of the window into the snow, his clothes change. can the AI prompt programs really not handle "make that one again, but put the man in the same clothes as this other one"?

The studio behind it says they 'hardly slept' for several weeks while writing AI prompts and refining the shots — 'AI didn't make this film. We did'
