I think using Science to try to strip Indigenous folks of their identity is pretty crappy, honestly.

Yes, what you're saying is factual (based on current scientific consensus), but your message is pretty tone deaf here.

No one signs up for the National Guard thinking, “One day, I’ll invade Oregon.”

We are changing our antifa secret handshake to slap-slap-fistbump-fistbump. Then you snap your fingers once, eat everyone's pets, and make everyone within 50' instantly become trans. Pass it along.

The image is a six panel black and white comic

Panel 1- A small child is being told "You'll want kids when you're older!" The child responds with "I don't think so..."

Panel 2- The same child, now a teenager, is being told, "You'll change your mind when you're older." To which the teen responds, "I doubt that"

Panel 3- Now an adult, someone off screen asks them, "Aren't you thinking of having kids?" To which they respond, "Nope"

Panel 4- The same person, an older adult now, is being told, "better have kids soon, or it'll be too late!" to which they respond, "That's fine"

Panel 5- Now elderly, they are once again asked "Don't you feel like you missed out?" to which they say, "Still nope."

Panel 6- They are now in their death bed, clearly close to death. The nurse says, "Shame you didn't have kids, don't you regret it?" To which the person says "You know what just kill me already"

Forgive me if I don't accept Little Johnson's body language expertise, though I acknowledge he's probably an expert on lying.

This can be said about the entire planet, every continent. Originally there was no life on the planet, hominid nor otherwise.

I'm not planning to watch the new Tron movie because Jared Leto creeps me the fuck out now, unfortunately.

However, Nine Inch Nails fucking killed it with the soundtrack!

Agreed!

Also, I don't let people borrow my nice pens - that's how you get your nice pens stolen! Always keep a box of basic Bics around for such occasions.

The media’s job is to make you think that the people who want to give you healthcare are just as crazy as the people trying to take it away.

My quote of the day

If you want to preserve democracy as we know it, you have to have a free and many times adversarial press. And without it, I am afraid that we would lose so much of our individual liberties over time. That's how dictators get started.

Friendly reminder that the Prime Day art supply “deals” are basically a few real brands to reel you in (and probably just matching the prices at Jerry’s or Blick) and the rest is just Temu-esque no name junk that would be cheaper still at the dollar store.

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

I'm a bit surprised he doesn't fake connection issues and just go silent like Stephen Miller did after he accidentally said the wrong thing out loud.

Eventually he has to, right? He's not very good at deflecting these questions.

The suspect accused of igniting the fire that destroyed LA's Pacific Palisades neighborhood allegedly used a ChatGPT prompt to show "a burning forest and a crowd fleeing from it," months prior, officials say

Man arrested, faces federal charge in connection with Palisades Fire: DOJ

The fire caused widespread destruction in Los Angeles County and killed a dozen people earlier this year.

Fr - I'm an introvert who hates socializing with most people, but I can have a casual conversation without including robot thoughts!

AJ Nyx (she/her) @ajnyx.bsky.social · 5h

Please don't do this. Please just be a person and talk to people. Many of us can tell when you've filtered your thoughts through AI, and we think less of you for it.

Stop wasting water and electricity just to have a conversation - I cannot believe this has to be said, and I'm quite pissed about it.

Someone I was messaging with today copy and pasted our chat into our conversation and asked for assistance with a response and then quickly unsent it.

It then hit me they were using ChatGPT to talk to me and forgot what window they were in. 😕

This is really great advice!

I spent a lot of my life doing what others wanted me to, even if it made me uncomfortable. Now I am selective about the things I choose to spend my time on. I no longer force myself to be social and pretend to be an extrovert. I know who I am!

Don't waste your life!
