Does anyone notice these major tech companies doing layoffs all say “With AI our engineers are so productive we don’t NEED these people!” only to have major outages within weeks or months of the layoffs?

Looking at you, Microsoft. 😒

With RFK Jr. in Charge, Insurers Aren’t Saying If They’ll Cover Vaccines for Kids If Government Stops Recommending Them RFK Jr.’s vaccine advisory board could stop recommending some routine childhood immunizations, leaving insurers to decide whether to still cover them. For now, most are remaining tight-lipped.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of California is the sole health insurance company that has pledged to continue covering childhood vaccines even if the fraudulent ACIP that RFK Jr. installed stops recommending them.

Have y'all seen the video of the father jumping off a Disney cruise to save his daughter who fell overboard? And he caught her ? And they were rescued?

Will AI create or take over jobs? Here's what AI leaders are saying. Tech leaders are divided on AI's job impact, with some concerned it'll take over jobs and spike unemployment, and others saying it'll create new jobs.

“In other news: we’re also joined today by the Keebler Elf and the Pillsbury Doughboy for an objective discussion on if cookies are a healthy breakfast food.”

Hot take: I think live action Tony Tony Chopper is pretty cute. 👀

Hey musicians we need to make a big stink about this. I know I’m willing to remove my music from Spotify if they go through with it. If you are too, contact them and tell them so.

FINALLY I can post the french Cancan on Bluesky!!

Like, the entire thing is ridiculously insulting to the creator who has already said he finds AI to be an affront to humanity. What the hell happened to basic human empathy?

Can someone just explain to me why making Ghibili images on the free tier of ChatGPT is a copyright violation but the paid tier isn’t..? It’s almost like it should be considered a copyright violation on both. 🤔

When PT starts to feel vaguely like torture* you know you’re finally making some progress!

(* From an intensity standpoint NOT from a pain standpoint — if it hurts, tell your PT! If your PT doesn’t listen, it’s time for a new one. 👀)

Told my mom about how they don't remove the old kidneys in most kidneys transplants and there were people walking around with 3, 4, 5...7 kidneys and the sheer look of horror was worth it 🤣 (a family friend recently had a transplant)

I deeply regret waiting so long to start the Disc World series, holy wow is this good 😳

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

So glad I saved for retirement for decades just so I could lose it all to a (checks notes) …trade war with Canada.

Do I have EDS or do I have strong independent bones that don’t need my skin suit?

This morning my microwave woke me up at 5:30am with a series of aggressive beeps. I attempted to soothe the creature but it was too far gone (alas). Now its husk rests above the oven, suspended in midair - a warning to any other appliance with early morning ideas.

The news is so stressful, maybe I’ll try to take my mind off it with my favorite candy — AW FUCK

Sure ‘Labour’ by Paris Paloma makes me want to get up swinging but ‘LABOUR (the cacophony)’ makes me want to rise up and punch god.

Hahahahaha, we're all going to die.
