Torberg "No Spooky Pun Found" Tonnessen

The speed and booze addicted dressed in black playing raw live shows in prisons with a voice like god almighty himself guy is “deeply uncool”? What

I'm glad these slimy comedians are getting ripped to shreds, but can we hold ALL of the actors who have said "yes" to new harry potter trash to the same standards please

As an instructor, I'd rather see your fever dream, No Doze-fueled 4AM essays written at an IHOP rather than anything generated by an LLM.

Hope this helps

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

This is the lesson of 2025

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks:

I am the General Counsel of Antifa.

Read this thread for a frankly breathtaking example of the utter garbage you get when Techbrahs try their hand at law.

Although if you say "I have an issue that's important to me, huh, I guess I will try Vibe Lawyering," I am basically ok with whatever happens to you.

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

I am so tired of our media letting weaselly little shits like Mike Johnson slide on these evasions.

Why *aren’t* you aware of blatant violations of the Constitution, Mike?! What makes you at all capable of holding this job?? Why should anyone believe a word coming out of your shitty little mouth??

we don’t have TIME to wait for you to meet all the different kinds of people to learn that everyone is just a stack of meat with a brain on top and the sausage casing isn’t the POINT. it’s some part of identity but it’s not the point. Round up your acceptance when you meet one “not you.”

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I, a middle-aged white guy with dark hair and spectacles, am on-camera for a meeting. My cat, Ollie, a grey domestic short hair, has walked past me. While most of him is obscured by the virtual background effects, his tail is visibly flapping in front of my face. The aforementioned background is a photo I took of Patterson Park on a misty night. Winter had not yet switched to spring, so the trees are bare.

Ollie always loves to wander across my desk when my camera is on. At least my coworkers were highly amused.

That Y2K wasn't a disaster didn't mean the efforts were unnecessary. The fact that there were minor still hiccups showed that — overall — the remediation worked.

I worked in IT at a (small) hospital. I remember being there on 31 Dec 1999 waiting & hoping that all the effort put in up to then would pay off. Thankfully, it did. There was one minor hiccup that our EMR vendor had to fix due to an error in applying part of the Y2K update a few months previously.

Over a century after Baltimore fought Prohibition, the city is experiencing a sober renaissance. These spaces differ in their approaches, but they all aim to foster a sense of community.

There’s a new issue of @baltimorebeat.bsky.social out today!

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

we gotta stop using “democratic run” or “blue cities” and start saying donald trump is invading “american cities”

"...two to three days in the hospital..."

Oh it's an outpatient procedure these days. Home the same day.

Oof. Good luck. My wife had such work done about a year ago and the recovery is just damn annoying.

Key point here:
Not all AI is generative AI. More conventional machine learning is still a thing, and still extremely useful in these contexts.

I'd vote in favor.

People once again need to internalize that "generative AI" is a small subset of machine learning, that machine learning is a critical tool that you cannot run a site without past a certain volume Bluesky has long since exceeded, and that it is FAR more reliable than user reporting.

Seriously. Newsom is showing himself to be absolutely terrible on issues about and otherwise involving/affecting trans people.

I’m a career prosecutor who took a $25,000 check from an affiliated entity of Donald Trump’s while investigating Trump University and later left my lobbying firm to become Donald Trump’s personal impeachment lawyer, White House aide, and Attorney General. So don’t you DARE question my integrity.

Mourning those murdered by Hamas isn't incompatible with mourning those murdered by the Israeli state.

Demanding that the hostages return isn't incompatible with naming & demanding an end to genocide.

Naming the power imbalance & impact thereof doesn't desecrate those murdered two years ago today.

zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• 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.

Daughter of Robin Williams, Zelda Williams 💔

Ugh, that's terrible.
