I think my passionate rebuke of AI/LLMs is because I am actually a Rankin-Bass supremacist.

Does everyone come to the DMV waiting area to get their weird out or were they already weird before they got here? Need to know if I should be wearing PPE in here.

Bragging to anyone who will listen that I loaded, unloaded, and trimmed my Christmas tree all by myself bc this time last year lifting a box without help would have sent me to bed for three days.
A year later, still no diagnosis but I gained some strength back and that’s good enough for now 🤙🏼

I’ve reached the point of being so single and middle-aged that there’s no difference between dating or training to run a marathon: just thinking about starting is exhausting so there’s no version of reality where I’d actually make an attempt 😂

Although the scale of this is still to be assessed, this is the inevitable outcome of the monetization of the algorithm. Rage-bait becomes a personal revenue model. Nothing about this should be a surprise.
NEWS: I spent the past 24 hours going through major MAGA accounts on Twitter, and a bombshell development has become clear: most of the right-wing ecosphere is being fed propaganda from foreign actors.

If you don’t want me to rant about how I was a satire truther and Taylor Swift confirmed in an interview that she’s written these songs as a social critique, do not start a conversation with me for at least the next seven days…

Was I “mean”? Or did I just choose to redirect everyone’s attention to the malignant behavior that you’re trying to hide (unsuccessfully) behind a straw man argument?

He was an advocate of violence against his political opponents and took positions like “the civil rights act should be repealed,” “the Jews are replacing white people,” and “Ukraine is an evil country and we should let them die.” Kirk’s entire career played a nontrivial role in getting us here.
I feel like I am taking crazy pills. Charlie Kirk’s ultimate goal, which he said time and time again, would have been the suppression, through threat of violence and the use of state power, of the rights of those he disagreed with, including freedom of expression.

The orgy of liberal pundits tripping over each other to praise Charlie Kirk—when he caused so much violence to the lives of Black and LGBTQ people (including me specifically)—is telling about why the Dems can’t build an antifascist coalition.

I don’t need to be told not to celebrate violence or speak ill of the dead but all this hagiography of Kirk is just absurd. He was a vicious, bigoted troll who devoted his life to making things as shitty as possible for anyone who wasn’t like him. He made the discourse worse in every possible way.

Pundits are focusing on Kirk’s willingness to debate people while studiously ignoring the people whose basic humanity he was willing to debate
The lionization of Charlie Kirk genuinely proves the point about centrists and leading media figures. The man dehumanized women, minorities, transgendered people, Muslims, etc was building bridges by debating others on these views that all these people are less than human. What a great guy.

I was recommended a series and after reading the first two books realized the plot is essentially “what if Bella, Edward and Jacob became a throuple”- 48 hours of my life that I can never get back.

There have been a slew of anti-UBI pieces recently based on findings from a few pilots that took place in 2020, 2021, and 2022 that fail to even mention the pandemic or just seem to handwave it away. It seems quite clear that COVID and stimulus served as confounding variables during those years.
UBI is like a lifeboat and COVID-19 was like a super typhoon. Contextualize 2020-2022 trial results.
