Nae 🌻

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Headline - Nick Clegg: Artists’ demands over copyright are unworkable Strap - The former Meta executive claims that a law requiring tech companies to ask permission to train AI on copyrighted work would ‘kill’ the industry

“Then die”

NVIDIA is now 16% of US GDP The Plan ? We Gamble the entire global economy on inventing a technology that will abolish basically all jobs on the planet.

Good morning Bluesky !

I love posts like this because all I have to do is go look who liked to find cool people to follow.

Damn girl, haven’t seen a ratio that bad in a while, you are setting a new standard.

The internet is collectively writing louvre heist yaoi and I think that's beautiful

My favorite part about this story is how they accepted your answer with no clarification needed.

Well, maybe I haven’t been paying that much attention then, but it feels like things on that front are not advancing as quickly as the ones on the “everything is getting enshittified”.

Fr, we got the lamest version of dystopia. Where are all the cool cities full of neon lights? Where are the high tech prosthetics? Where are the sophisticated designer drugs? All we got is fucking fentanyl and awful car-centric suburbia. 😭

“In Cyberpunk 2077 universe, AI killed the Internet by propagating all over it, faster than humans could hope to stop it. This forced companies and people to abandon it and either use isolated small networks or reconnect in real life” Me seeing AI in real life doing just that: [Image of a person looking directly at the camera with a knowing, unimpressed, or weary expression]

The RIAA was suing teenagers. We had to sit through ⬇️ this shit anytime we wanted to watch a DVD. A whole generation shamed for using Limewire and torrents. Only for these silicone valley assholes to now find copyright infringement a necessary evil they shouldn’t have to answer for

Yes, all the time. And It's so hard to talk about it with people because you feel like a doomer asshole bringing it up. It came up in a conversation I had today with my mother and she goes "yeah, but that's like 100 years from now" and I had to be like "girl... no".

I realized I’ve been sort of mourning the internet lately. It’s odd. This ‘place’ that used to contain a wealth of actually valuable information, and introduced me to many people I now call friends, and which paved the way for my career, has almost completely rotted away. It’s not coming back.

Believe it or not, if you want your platform to be both less toxic and more welcoming and inclusive, you do actually have to ban the nazis

Plus I like pretty things way too much. And books, way too many books.

I miss being able to pull out a suitcase, pack all of my stuff and move on a whim. But it's really hard to feel secure with owning nothing when you grew up in poverty. "No, I don't need to keep that just in case, no matter what I will be okay" is not a though that comes to me naturally.

The urge to give away all your possessions so you can live like an untethered nomadic monk clashing with the urge to hoard trinkets and treasures like a greedy dragon.

Damn, only head pats for you from now on.

Girl, I don’t believe you. You seem the type to get off on that (non-derogatory). I call it conflict oriented eroticism.

Frog and Toad. "We will eat one last cookie," said Toad to Frog. "Then we will curse God and die."

Too real

No matter how many times I click "not interested" that shit keeps popping up. Like, idk what tf I watched to trigger this algorithm downward spiral but I want out. It's really fucking disgusting to realize how pervasive and relentless this right wing pipelines are.

For the last few days Youtube has been trying so hard to push a bunch of right wing grifter channels at me. Idk why they are all mad at Emma Watson all of the sudden (I can guess), but I have seen an unflattering picture of her face in the thumbnail at least a dozen times now.

Two stills from the television show Freaks and Geeks showing Sam speaking to his family at the table. Text on first image reads "I don't need another friend." And text on second image reads "I already have two"

Babe wake up NPR is getting ratiod

I find it very funny Hades 2 is launching on bissexual week

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Just a reminder that fics can be downloaded to read when the website is down. Everybody stay calm, no need to panic.

The doctor had the nerve to tell me on the phone "we recommend complete bed rest, don't stand up unassisted and don't put any pressure on the hip" after they had me walking from the waiting room, to the exam room, from the exam room, to the x-ray machine, and then to my uber. I almost lost it.
