For the first time in my career, I can’t tell people to trust what the CDC website says. And that is an incredibly sad and devastating place for this country to be.

Sigh... People used to read mystery novels to steal crime ideas from. We're slipping as a society.

This is so embarrassing and bad

Looooooooooossseerrrrrrrrrrrrr!

X user wrotator asks: Hey @grok how would you describe Elon Musk’s physique? How about his mind? And his relationship with his kids?

*laughs in historian* “… ranks among the 10 minds in history, rivalling polymaths like da Vinci or Newton…”

[P] If I had hundreds of billions of dollars, I too would make robots that told me they always loved me and tell everyone that I’m the specialist boy there ever was

Young Girls Were Sexually Abused by a Church Member. They Were Told to Forgive and Forget. In Minnesota, leaders of an Old Apostolic Lutheran Church community enabled a child abuser by telling his victims that once the sins were “washed away in the blood of reconciliation,” they could never...

Leaders of a Minnesota church community didn’t report a parishioner they knew had sexually abused girls for year.

They told his victims that once sins were “washed away in the blood of reconciliation,” they could never speak of them again.

Rod Stirling introducing the Twilight Zone

Picture a salmon. Compelled by urges old as time to swim upriver to spawn. Now imagine that salmon unable to survive even for a second in the water it needs to live. What terrible impact would that have on the piscine mind?

Now imagine that salmon a man. That water, posting.

"The richest man in the world built a robot to tell people he's cool" is the saddest, most bulliable fucking Twilight Zone thing in the world. You fucking LOSER. All that money and not a fucking _whiff_ of charisma. Start giving yourself a wedgie, you fucking dork, it'll take me time to get there.

They make games and movies like they used to. So many of them. Same with books.

But the mechanisms you learned about them were totally gutted and changed to only amplify shit that's already popular.

It's still there! You're just mostly on your own to find it.

Today is Trans Day of Remembrance so I would like to see who your favourite trans creators are. Let's remember those who've left but celebrate everyone who is still here.

I'll start with the wonderful @daniemililly.bsky.social who does so much for disability rights in Ireland and she makes comics!

If you want solid game recommendations @caseyexplosion.bsky.social is the best there is..
So much of my current games library is down to her..
Although I still haven't finished Mundaun cause that terrifies me.

Here is my cat. She alternates between loveable, playful, anxious, and bitey.

grok has been extremely touched on

Hey folks, I want to give a little shout-out to Sliding Hero, which is releasing later today. The developer reached out to give me a copy, and I haven't had a whole lot of time with it yet, but from what I've played it's a very neat Sokoban style puzzle game and think it's well worth highlighting.

the nuzzi story is fun and all but at the center of it is the elevation of a man who has dedicated his life to making children catch preventable diseases to a position where he can enact harm at enormous scale

In fact, fuck it. Building on what Jess says. Do you cis fuckers have any fucking ideas how much grief we carry? How every trans person has multiple dead friends? How death is just a thing we live with? How everywhere we gather has to have an explicit policy on expressing suicidal ideation?

Chat, Elon programmed Grok to argue he's a trained martial artist who has won matches and "no rules street fighting" and the secondhand embarrassment is causing me physical pain

cinema_nasties 1d Al defenders are so embarrassing j.paulmonter 2h All you are saying is that you want to gatekeep creativity. That's not good. drachelbarr & 20h • •• Neuroscientist here... creativity is a process. A process. A FUCKING PROCESS. Not an output. Nobody is gatekeeping the process - Al simply invites you to skip to the end, to the output. Which, as mentioned, is not creativity. Nobody cares if the output is aesthetically pleasing, because the process, the act itself, the limitation of a single human mind and the resulting creations that capture that one single inimitable human experience... is what makes a creation worth paying attention

Well put by @drrachelbarr.bsky.social

I will die.

I cannot repeat this often enough. I require dialysis to live. It costs $1000 per treatment. I need treatment three times per week. Without Medicaid, I can't afford it. Without my treatment, I will die.

Republicans are trying to kill me.

Bros being bros.

remember when the previous board of OpenAI warned that Sam Altman was a greasy little shit who lied a lot and had all sorts of weird financial conflicts of interest and the entire tech press dismissed them all as crackpots?

good times
