For the love of god, don't 'splain the history of country music at me, or whatever. I do not care.

There have already been lawyers disbarred for using AI to write their arguments.

This is going to be laughably bad.

These dinks never stop to think how fucking insulting it is to say to a writer, "hey AI can do your job, isn't that cool?"

1) AI cannot and will not ever be able to replace writers
2) Ari Shapiro can go fuck himself. He should know better.

I'm pissed that I'm spending this fine afternoon working, so I'm blasting some noise rap about it.

Within the first 50 pages, someone gets stabbed in the eye with a knitting needle!

So, naturally, I'm enjoying it.

SO SOFT

Ocean Jasper @audleyzdarke.bsky.social · 14d

This is not new, by the way. The Tylenol argument was around when I was pregnant 13 years ago, and I'm sure actually predates that. We've just never had a head of HHS with a worm in their brain before now.

Ocean Jasper @audleyzdarke.bsky.social · 14d

(I'm using "women" intentionally there because they would not accept that trans and nb people can be pregnant.)

Before I log off, some quick thoughts about Tylenol causing autism:

This is more "autism is the worst thing to happen to a child" rhetoric, with the added bonus that 100% of the blame can be placed on the pregnant person AND they're admitting that they believe women deserve to be in pain.

Sharpie, maybe? Felt tip? I don't think you could get a ballpoint to write on a bullet casing, but also that is DEFFO ink

I MEAN COME THE FUCK ON

Brandon Friedman @brandonfriedman.bsky.social · 14d

WFAA in Dallas is standing by its reporting that three immigrant ICE detainees were shot. Law enforcement and Republicans still refuse to confirm this. However, Kash Patel's FBI was quick to claim found shell casings had "anti-ICE" messages.

And it isn't even worth it to point out how fucking unprofessional and legally dubious it is for the FBI director to post SEE!! LOOK!! EVIDENCE!! on fucking Twitter

They're so fucking incompetent and YET I know every single CNN guzzling Boomer is going to believe this without question.

COME ON NOW
COME THE FUCK ON

Prem Thakker ツ @premthakker.bsky.social · 14d

Hours after a shooting of ICE detainees, the FBI says “early evidence” of messages on the rounds are “anti-ICE in nature.”

Here is a picture FBI Director Kash Patel just tweeted of “the unspent shell casings recovered…engraved with the phrase ANTI ICE.”

If they tried to solve their daddy issues by building libraries and universities, I's have a tiny bit of sympathy for them.

There's something tickling the back of my brain about Tumblr tenderqueers, the inevitable yearly fight about kink at Pride, and weird fascist sexlessness, but I'm not there yet.

Oh trust me, I do not! This post is in total agreement.

Our lives would be drastically better if they took up Warhammer or knitting.

I would feel bad that oh bloo bloo bloo, money didn't make your daddy love you? But they're ruining everything for the rest of us.

To a great degree we’re dealing with the fallout from a generation of men who got lucky once during a specific moment in tech evolution, made to feel as gods, but are all now suffering their mid-life crises having accomplished nothing else of note.

These men have made nothing other than money.

i have seen exactly zero evidence to suggest that peter thiel is anything other than a dumbass who got lucky once
