The music in this AT&T/iPhone iPhone commercial drives me CRAZY. First commercial I’ve muted in years. I’ve even reactively turned the TV off.

Not saying the musical piece is bad but I’m saying this particular use is torturous—the people who put it in a commercial are psychos.

I keep seeing people on threads defending ai like this & I don’t actually think it’s a slippery slope.

I think the slope should be slipperier, towards being HIGHLY critical & self-critical of technology, how we are using it & the companies profiting from making us dependent on their products

This person on threads replied to a sassy post saying ai was making people schizophrenic (prob meant psychosis) & I was like… “this reply is so ai” 🫠
to which they replied with more of it… and I’m sorry but I just can’t with this ChatGPT style 😭

“it’s not ____, it’s ____”

Ha I guess others noted that he was describing himself because I just saw this on threads (with no credit so no clue who did it)

lol

Ok but using his own words: Trump is a criminal, murderous, mentally insane convicted rapist, & incompetent president, who released J6 prisoners on us & is dragging our country to hell with his sick & dangerous ideology… so it’s hard for me to understand him as someone who is against those things

In March 2020 I was doing research because I was sure that against the guidance we should all be wearing masks. I found something written in 2009 about respiratory droplets/how they behaved and it included this image & I tried to stay away from everyone—6ft being a starting pt (with mask)

✅I noticed on this poll that the USPS had the most people saying they wanted to keep it the same… like, basically… hands off

SO speak up! This isn’t popular. It’s just freak billionaires being loud because they want to try to control your mail for profit (& further control the flow of info & YOU)
March 22, 2025 at 5:24 PM
The shirt fabric itself is loud but I am not against it—honestly just makes me think of
March 22, 2025 at 6:00 AM
Lol that is a jump dude. I’m not talking about feelings, here.

The VP is on the ballot. We don’t pick but do vote for them. And we understand what their role is.

“It sucks that the POTUS was too frail to finish the race so far into it & put us & the VP in that position,” is also a valid feeling.

love that while typing that btw my phone autocorrected to this… I am not sure if it’s hinting at me being a zombie or if my phone is the zombie
March 13, 2025 at 1:45 AM
Ok lol I don’t know if he has one or not at this point but I tried to look it up and saw this. Maybe someone saw whatever this ridiculous display was?
I’m glad to hear he doesn’t plan to drive. What a freak show spectacle he’s making on our property.

The Trump admin’s ignorant descriptions just keep making me think of this
March 11, 2025 at 6:25 PM
See, this is what threads is like. I just feel insane on there reading multi remixes(or exact copies!) of the same post. I guess people automatically try to rewrite viral posts. Maybe they use chatgpt🥲

Sometimes, they are doing it with what I know are tweets from years ago. Which is really wild.
March 11, 2025 at 6:16 PM
They know countless adults, themselves included I would venture to guess, who have grown up and grown old, having gotten vaccinations, including MMR. There is something very off about a person who doesn’t trust something that saves millions of children… so I think there is a question to ask…

It’s funny that reps like Costa who were doing politics since the 70s were telling Biden to “pass the torch.” 😂 Not bad advice but have you looked in a mirror? wwmt.com/news/nation-...
March 6, 2025 at 6:34 PM
Oh and Costa’s opponent has been a former FBI agent. That seems like someone today’s Republicans might not vote for enthusiastically.

When I looked at this section of his wiki I noted he’d been one of the reps who was vocal about Biden pulling out of the race.
March 6, 2025 at 6:34 PM
As far as dreams of primarying the reps that sided w the Rs, I’ll speak for CA—Ami Bera reps around Sacramento in a blue area… think you could get that done.

Jim Costa reps Fresno in our long red middle. A more challenging race.

I’ve noticed something in my years of studying those who exhibit extreme patterns of narcissistic behavior… a lot of very baffling looks. I was writing about it the other day for at least 2 reasons that I can’t log on without seeing

In early Sept before the hurricane, Republicans refused to agree to the disaster funding that Dems or the WH wanted & said “disasters happen.” 💀 I was curious with the GOP plan to leave the issue to the new POTUS, what they’d do if Trump won. I thought it would suck either way but… it does suck.
March 1, 2025 at 6:17 AM
i tracked & remember a lot of discussion about Trump’s frequency of tweets & the fact that he slept so little during his first term. I went to look for mention of it & found multiple articles and studies… I didn’t realize it had gotten that focus🥴

anyhow… familiar habits

Whether it’s Elon or Trump, if you want to get to them, just figure out how to talk to them like their freak fathers whose approval they never managed to quite get.
February 25, 2025 at 8:05 AM
Also thought of this fun couple who isn’t mentioned but I remember was asked to leave the ranch at some point during the standoff & did this later in this year. When you say criminal/gang they feel like reps
February 25, 2025 at 7:50 AM
I wonder if this Starlink satellite phone campaign is doing well. I saw a T-Mobile ad on TV boasting about it and thought “Starlink? Elon? Yuck.” Which I’m sure is not what they are going for.

He’s such a brand poisoner. A real Trump Steaker.

Not that I thought Johnson had a grasp on anything tech-related but I guess he wanted to make that abundantly clear 🥴
