My company just replaced the editors team with FUCKING CHATGPT
Anyone interested in a bylingual economics journalist with 10 years of experience?
(No, I wasn't an editor, but now I'm being asked to use ChatGPT to edit my own work. No fucking way)

I hate the online reaction cycle that praises a piece of art a lot and uses it as an example of what’s good about the medium but then the moment it gets awards or enough acclaim or fandom, suddenly we have to talk about how it’s actually not really that good and it’s overrated and always sucked

Multiple men in the replies telling me to lighten up because it IS funny, mixed in with some homophobia, some transphobia that got deleted, and a bunch of "But it's so GAY to HATE WOMEN they're GAY FOR MEN" that kind of demonstrates my point perfectly.

I sort of wish y'all took this more seriously, because this attitude is a reinforcement of heterosexuality as a hierarchy. It's an acknowledgement and understanding that it's not enough to "be with" a woman, or even to father children.
They define manhood as exploitation, abuse, and dominance.

It says a lot that AI “artists” are so creatively bankrupt they think writing prompts is a difficult, arduous task.
You realize coming up with a prompt is what a real artist would call “having an idea,” right?
It took them weeks of sleepless nights to have some basic thoughts.

A while back I said that I support trans rights for two main reasons:
1. Basic human rights and decency etc
2. If they come for trans folk that means they'll go after other people with atypical brains next
and, well... sucks to be right

I think part of What's Going On with billionaires is that the daily friction of interacting with normal people is part of what anchors people to the real world, and once you have enough money to buy your way out of the friction you can knock down a load-bearing column propping up your sanity.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.
