One time my mom yelled at me over the phone for like an hour about something stupid and upon the call’s conclusion, Rob—whose catchphrase in our marriage may as well be “WE ARE NOT REWATCHING GRΣΣK AGAIN”—silently pulled up the GRΣΣK pilot and hit play.

“If we view feminism as the struggle of gender-marginalized people for bodily autonomy, rather than just calling these things “women's issues,” then we make room for all trans people within feminism.”

Is there anything more insulting than running at breakneck pace to catch a train on time, making it by the absolute skin of your teeth, contemplating your mortality as you wheeze your way through settling into a seat……and then having the train linger in place for several minutes past departure time?

Ghostly Bree @mostlybree.kitrocha.com · 1d

and I somehow apparently follow like zero people who are in charge of bluesky so I have no idea if they are malicious or incompetent.

but since I play Malicious or Incompetent constantly in publishing, I know the answer: when you're fuckin' with people's livelihood, incompetence is malicious.

Anyway, much like Tortured Poets, my “enjoyed this well enough to add to my All the Taylor Swift That Matters to You Personally” playlist track count is two (2) and if you put a gun to my head I could not describe them to you because they’ve already evaporated from my brain.

Author and filmmaker Justine Bateman on generative AI

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

The Ig Nobel is incredible , one year an Indian guy won it for calculating the average surface area of an elephant and during his acceptance they had an elephant hold up a sign with the surface area of the scientist on it, they do showbiz better than the Oscars

Video: a Japanese scientist was attacked by flies while giving the acceptance speech for his Ig Nobel Prize-winning research paper that proved painting Zebra-like stripes on cows led to a decrease in biting fly attacks.
