Pretend human and own worst enemy. What am I doing here? Where is this? Do I really need to share my opinion on anything? Why should anyone care? Ignore the creature behind the curtain!!! Do not perceive!
Pinned
Nope.

So chicken farms have started spending millions of dollars putting in state of the art air filtration and circulation systems - because culling whole flocks to mitigate avian flu is expensive - but we have done zero to improve air quality in schools - because kids are expendable I guess.

This is my friend's cat. Its name is Cookie Swirl, and it disappeared in the American section of Charlotte airport on 11/10. We're asking for your help. She doesn't have any other socials, so if you can post it widely to see if anyone knows where it is. It's a little thing, but matters a lot to her.

lol it’s so genuinely fun seeing Cory take decades of fluency in how these systems are broken and serve it up for a mainstream audiences. Even if you know “enshittification” well, this is worth the watch. And love to @eff.org! youtu.be/d2e-c9SF5nE

If someone writes up a comprehensive summary of at least most of the more obvious legal problems with the Disney thing that includes enough general copyright information to show the domino potential of this deal— let me know so I can have it linked to send people rather than try to explain

This has to be the most reckless thing Disney has ever done with their IP and I cannot wait for them to figure out what a bad idea this is.
BREAKING: Disney is making a $1 billion investment in OpenAI, and will allow its iconic characters to be on the company's Sora AI video generator.

No matter how badly I eff up this week— I was not anyone at Disney who signed off on an AI licensing agreement.

Ok, self. Pep talk. We got a haircut today. We are going to need less shampoo and conditioner than we think as we have about 1/3rd the amount of hair we did this morning.

I don't want to be a consumer. I want to be a patient. I want to receive comprehensive high quality care from highly skilled medical personnel when and how I need it, the same as everyone else, without ever having to worry who can afford it.
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

Well, I haven't given insulin injections to a cat (or anyone else) since 2007 and it's my first time using a pen injector. WOW the needles are SO small now. Making sure I get into the skin under the fur is the hardest part of everything now.
