i am not against machine-learning technologies as such, but i will always be opposed to the use of such technologies to generate simulations of the products of human thought and creativity. i will never willingly interact with a counterfeit human.

Last Repost: Good to know that the majority of men are still disappointing and the case for lesbianism remains strong (at least in the US).

Blah blah blah men…Young women are ready to set the country on fire

Yup, I blame FPTP for a lot of things - but it's not like getting rid of it is a magical fix either - the real problem has and will always be baked in corruption.

I was so intimidated to read Austin, until I read Persuasion and realized that it was a comedy.

new headcanon that every member of bangtan has a guitar at home to lure in yoongi. it acts as a sort of instrument cat flap that lets him know he can visit as he pleases

I think that was a habit that he was purposefully trying to break by the time 2023 came around, when he and RM chatting in MMM about him relearning the basics and he joked that it meant he couldn't sing the old songs (the same way).

New favourite meme!

Name a movie you’ve seen more than 7x with just a gif 🍿✨

A 2025 Reading Challenge chart. Each month has a slot to place a book cover and a theme. January to October have book covers placed in the slots. The book covers are: Bury Your Gays - Chuck Tingle The Gospel of Breaking - Jillian Christmas A collage of covers from Ms Marvel and Wonder Twins by Marvel and DC respectively Eastside Hedge Witch by T.J. Deschamps Lumberjanes Vol. 2 Toward Eternity by Anton Hur Around the World on Minimum Wage Cat + Gamer 6 Hero by Perry Moore and Adolf by Osamu Tezuka.

Longest on my TBR pile by association. I bought the sequels and then spent a decade hunting down the first few books in the series. Adolf - Tale of the Twnentieth Century by Osamu Tezuka is a chilling fictionalized tale of the rise of authoritarianism and hatred in Germany and Japan in the 1930s.

2:30am west coast!

The pessimistic side of me thinks this will go nowhere due to how deeply entrenched the bribing-billionaires are in the AI bubble, but I would love to be proven wrong!

I believe it's just abstract brush strokes rather than anything specific.

If the federal Liberals use generative AI in anything having to do with serious governing, this automatically becomes the stupidest government of my lifetime

"...ARMY, who accept our music, not just as a diversion, but as a shared language of life."

YES! This is such a good description of the difference between ARMY and a casual music fan.

still of j-hope from the new spaghetti video of him in all black. the subtitles of his rap say, “i like what i like do i need a reason, huh?”

no exactly

"Oxford commas are a sign you write with ai" I will find such a unique way to rip out your spine that they'll make a movie about it

Heard about the Louvre jewel heist and my first thought was “finally, some good old fashioned normal crime”

Gross. Glad you got away safely.

Oh man... well, they might have been full when I unplugged them for the final time and shoved them in a box? Who is to say. But hopefully they weren't?! I should probably get rid of them anyway, I'm obviously not using them as anything other than very large external back-up storage.

Oh man... as someone with 2 old laptops SOMEWHERE in the dark recesses of their storage closet, this is very concerning. I will have to dig those out ASAP and properly send them off.

Yes! I just recently discovered this hack too! I went to a writer's group and I made sure to remember the question someone asked me so that after we discussed my answer, I could say "and how about you - *repeat question*?" It worked remarkably well and the convo was way less of a struggle.

Tech Bros Have Been Accidentally Poisoning Themselves With Severe Brain Toxins for Years Among the worst offenders was meal-replacement company Huel, a long-time favorite among Bay Area builders.

Who had lead and cadmium poisoning in their options...?

Again, I will say PLEASE BUY YOUR FAVES' ALBUMS. Do not just stream. It doesn't even have to be physical, if you've been sucked into the whole minimalist aesthetic (which actually costs more to maintain FYI), or you have no fixed address, or you can't afford shipping but you can afford a latte.

This made me laugh
