I know this discourse is being beaten to death but God damn I really am so disappointed with Bill Burr and the whole Riyadh situation.

Here's a video that I think might be helpful in getting some people to understand why it's bad in ways that they may be able to immediately relate to.

Also, I think it's important to point out: I'm not talking about big companies--or even companies at all--shoving it down peoples' throats. it's just normal people using it.

Friends, acquaintances, family members, People You May Know. Just "normal people" fully embracing it.

It really is both alarming and disheartening when I visit spaces outside my curated bubble and see just how prevalent generative AI slop has really become.

I refuse to accept it as an inevitability, but it's clear that there are a whole lot of folks who Do Not Care.

I work with Blue Missouri because our organization writes actual checks to down-ballot Democratic candidates.

No one else does what we do.

Other organizations give training or advice or texting services. While those things are important, candidates need $ to reach voters. bluemissouri.org

To clarify, my windows been smashed twice. This is the only time the cops were actively involved, because my neighbor saw it and called it in.

Knock on the door at 230a.

Cops letting me know someone smashed out the driver side window of my car, probably trying to steal it.

We’ve lived here five years, and now in the last ten months this has happened twice.

I don’t know him terribly well but he strikes me as someone who it doesn’t hurt ask. At the very least he may get a kick out of the Pogo book, even if he’s unwilling to sign it.

The very same people who threaten to murder any governmental agent who comes to take their guns are cheering on governmental agents coming to take literal human beings.

I wish I could afford vintage Lego.

I'm no collector, but sometimes I get an itch to put together a set I always wanted but never owned as a kid, and frankly, these prices are way too high for "that would be neat" territory. lol

Man, I loved Gauntlet Legends and Dark Legacy and I wish we had more games like that these days.

Maybe we do and I just don't know about them, but regardless.

Exactly. This proves how bad I am at it.

Yale Stewart @yalestewart.bsky.social · 5d

Ah, yeah when I enlarge it I can see it.

Regardless, it's possible LITA don't realize it. It fooled me and that was after I tried to dig to verify. It's entirely possible they have someone as bad at ID'ing it as I am working there. I certainly hope that's the case, anyway.

St. Louis deserves a leader who is built different. That’s why I’m running to represent Missouri’s 1st District in Congress.

We need a fighter who will lower costs, protect our communities, and make life fairer. I’ll be that fighter.

Yeah, that's fair.

We're so through the looking glass that I thought he was fantasizing about ways to handle protestors

Yale Stewart @yalestewart.bsky.social · 8d

I can't tell if he's alluding to nuclear weapons or to napalm.

Nuclear weapons because strength and bravado.

Napalm because he's sadistic.

When you see an article that seems to be about some pretty important news regarding your city and go to read it on your major local newspaper's website and it's behind a paywall...it is very frustrating.
