the murderbot show is... bad and I think if there were any remaining locked tomb fans who weren't disillusioned with the idea of a screen adaptation, this should be the clincher tbh. No Thanks. Hard Pass. We Don't Want That

If you don't enjoy writing, maybe being a writer isn't for you. That's okay! Most people are not writers. People become writers because they like to write. Otherwise they do other things with their time. AI will never solve the fact that you do not like to write.

If they didn't call it "AI" and instead called it "enhanced predictive text analysis" or something, then there's no way to con people into believing it's thinking for itself and thus no way to build a hype bubble.

You can't get hundreds of billions of investment dollars for Autocorrect Plus.

meijer sells a self-stirring mug which seems like the invention of a kooky amateur scientist in a cartoon. cloudy with a chance of meatballs shit. it stirs too hard and splashes coffee on another invention causing a series of slapstick disasters that levels his workshop in front of his love interest

Loveeee watching the bread machine smack my ball of dough around like an overpowered villain right before the hero gets their second wind

the spectrum people are out here trying to hawk their internet wares at the bus stop EVERY DAY I need to start wearing merch so they leave me alone and don't ask me about my giant water bottle to ease me into a sense of camaraderie as if I don't see their little spectrum badge. I know what you are

In between the stories of horrific human rights abuses and trade war insanity I remember that they have also destroyed all our research and data infrastructure and effectively ended any environmental, health, or labor regulation.

you don't need chatGPT i am perfectly capable of drinking a bottle of water and lying to you

love when people get caught using LLMs for some important analytical task "to save time" and then they're like "don't worry we rigorously vetted the results." man....you either saved time OR rigorously vetted the results, but i promise you didn't do both

nondairy ice cream is a health food to me and I'm not joking. it soothes my heartburn and clears my sinuses. it's medicinal

"anthropologist visits enby island, has no idea how to react" peter ifbookscouldkill I know this is a joke about josh hawley but that's literally the plot of leguin's the left hand of darkness

I don't usually give my dogs table scraps but there is something really special about cutting off little slivers of apple for my 4 lb dog and enjoying our apple slices together

I know the license plate "OHSTA8" means Ohio State as I am in Columbus Ohio but you didn't need that a. The 8 has the a sound already. It just looks like oh stab

BREAKING: In a landslide vote, Harvard Law student body passes divestment referendum, overcoming administration attempts to prevent and delegitimize the vote.

Harvard Law students overwhelmingly vote for Justice for Palestine and divestment from Netanyahu’s regime.

This is historic.

LOVE being old... love using my tiny handheld vacuum to sweep up cat litter and murmuring to myself "this is the best thing I've ever owned"

“Porn” is a public good.

“Porn” is the sign of a healthy, open society.

“Porn” is record of the diversity of sexual expression.

“Porn” brings people joy, access to parts of themselves that they may not have another way to express.

It’s worth defending on its own.

every time I make it back from a road trip without getting turned into a pancake by a semi truck feels like a miracle

my least favorite coworker is retiring at the beginning of 2025. it's like the universe knew I couldn't handle two horrible old men in my life

We are well past the point of giving this kind of coverage to the incoming fascist regime. Have some integrity

this is the end result of tokenization, of marketing certain books solely by the identities of the characters within the pages & not by merit of the story. so you can talk out of both sides of your mouth as a company, pretend to be progressive while caving to bigots. deeply shameful

I forgot I had this account already 😭 this is such a good idea though I bet it would fit better if I lined it with fuzzy slipper fabric!

every middle aged white man has the same sense of humor it is simply a law of nature. sees very small dog, says "you shoulda got a smaller dog." sees very small car, same joke. it should be annoying but I take comfort in this one small constant in our chaotic universe

some recent knitting projects:

-single sock that was supposed to be for my husband but is. so large

-messy first attempt at double knitting a tapestry

this is like twitter and mastodon had a confused baby
