Not sure if many know, but considering it is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, this might just feel fitting.

If you ever come across a website that does a CloudFlare security prompt, and it asks you to "copy" something - DON'T. This is an attempt to get you to run malware. It's becoming more common.

Oct 8th 1984 - After catching their first ghost at the Sedgewick Hotel, business quickly picks up for the Ghostbusters with more paranormal sightings. On Oct 8th they were featured on the front page of USA Today.

📽️📅 Ghostbusters (1984)

3 Screenshots from the movie "Ghostbusters" (1984): First, the Ghostbusters, wearing their iconic uniforms with proton packs, stand in a lavish hotel interior, engaging in a serious discussion with a man in a suit. Second, a woman with curly hair sits in a living room, watching a news broadcast about the Ghostbusters on an old-fashioned TV, with a cityscape visible through the window blinds. Third, a newspaper headline "Ghost Fever Grips New York" features an image of the Ghostbusters team.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

It apparently wasn't very good, but it's got an incredibly catchy theme:

Does it have to be something released in the last year? Because I just reread Deadpool's original ongoing and it's still great.

"You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it."

That's surprisingly powerful.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.
