We need a stronger word tbh, calling you a journalist kinda seems like all you do is type opinion pieces with your glasses on the end of your nose

I like β€œreporter” more, it’s got a scrappy gumshoe 1930s feel to it that seems appropriate to our current circumstances

Every time we see a Cybertruck around Vancouver, my kids point at it and shout β€œCYBERTRASH!” And I refuse to correct them

The children need to be reminded of their history, apparently

This is your regular reminder that the first Pride was a riot started by trans people

Hope y’all got your good throwing bricks ready

A few days ago, a friend asked me to make a FB group for our friend circle planning a tea party.

I made the group and invited six people.

SIX PEOPLE. It's for a tea party, at someone's house.

... wait for it ... (AI slop post 1/ ?)

Stuff like this is the reason I will never, ever suffer from imposter syndrome ever again when it comes to tech.

Personally I plan to celebrate #ValentinesDay by sending silly memes to my beloved instead of buying shit, but you do you

In a random store, the only thing my son wanted was a rubber chicken costing exactly $1.

He has now been squeaking it on and off, and giggling to himself.

He is a boy of simple pleasures

Unfortunately we have been out of stock of β€œreasonable discussions on AI” ever since you goddamn fucks started burning down rainforests and taking all the water to power your plagiarism machine

All we have left is incandescent rage-filled banshee screaming, we got lots of that

Fun fact: when an Irish woman gives birth, she automatically receives the β€œIrish mother” firmware update over the air, which gives her access to the Voice and also the uncontrollable urge to offer food/drink to everyone who enters her home

Anyone who says something like β€œAI is a promising technology and just needs guardrails” is fucking wrong and needs a refresher course on the limits of LLMs and machine learning

I WILL NOT TAKE QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME, FUCK OFFFFFF

Can you really call yourself a coffee shop if you don’t serve your largest drinks in a soup bowl

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

Can someone give me a recommendation for a platform for doing short form written reviews

Specifically reviews of tv series

This will most likely be only for my own amusement so it’d probably need to be free

Used to work with a guy who knew him personally and his opinion was that Stephen Harper was the slimiest fuckrag outside of a high production porno studio.

Mark Kermode’s review (and I use the term loosely in this case) of Melania is possibly the only good thing to come from this train wreck
