Whenever there’s a major tech outage you can check the status page of the platform to monitor what’s going on. I propose moving all of the internet’s critical infrastructure onto the servers that host these status pages because they never go down

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

one of the more frustrating things about AI shit is that it, unfortunately, represents how a lot of older types think the computer should work ("ask it questions, get answers, talk with it") and normal interaction with a computer makes them terrified they'll hit a "blow up everything" button

The "Frieren angle" thing, apart from just being delightful, also completely demolishes the pathetic "AI is democratising art" argument. Someone struggling with a difficult drawing received advice from hundreds of strangers who just wanted to help them improve their art.

the funniest thing about the people who argue america isn't ready for a woman president because of sexism are also the very same people who look down on places like india, pakistan, south korea, japan, brazil, sri lanka, bangladesh, taiwan, liberia, mexico, etc. for being more sexist/patriarchal
that whole 'this country isn't ready for a woman president' line is really upsetting because it shows exactly how neoliberalism works, redirecting blame from issues of policy (or lack thereof) onto a flattened, vague type of sexism in a way that ultimately doesn't even challenge sexism!

Pondering where the "They're just having children to bleed our country dry, these freaks!" racism ends...
...and the "Why wouldn't they leave their offspring to die? It's what I'd do if I had the chance." child hatred begins.

It really needs to be pointed out how every one of these embarrassing statements is made by a c-suite executive and not an artist or even art department lead
