earnestness is punk rock. libraries are punk rock. cleaning up litter is punk rock. everything is punk rock except making loud fast music that annoys your neighbors

Everyone stanning Syril and Dedra needs to be unfriended immediately.

Yeah I realized my mistake the moment I pressed send but I thought I'd leave my shame out to dry anyway.

Also worth noting:

They’re killing the media industry *first*.

Techbros have been very clear that their goal is to put as many people out of work as possible.

This is nothing more or less than an attack by the 1% upon the rest of us that, if left unchecked, will crash the global economy.

AI filmmaking and storytelling is punk rock. It’s hip hop. It’s counterculture. It’s a new type of creativity. It’s a new medium. It’s hated by the mainstream film and art establishment. It resists ideology. It ignores gate keeping. It’s uncomfortable. It’s scary. It’s viral. It’s accessible. It’s refreshing. It’s welcoming. It’s here.

AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.

Trade Love for a second or two and sign Tonje to a 2-way.

Does it only use a portion of the trade player exception or is it all gone once you dip into it?

Random conspiracy thought: will America's new anti vax status affect our ability to travel abroad and if so is this a way to ensure we don't all leave this hellhole country en masse?

The asinine amount of money being spent on police is a systemic issue.

I made a list of about a dozen incredibly obvious things that Biden should do in his first 100 days in office, including push for DC statehood, and he did exactly 0 of them and we're paying the price for it now.

Grok’s ‘spicy’ video setting instantly made me Taylor Swift nude deepfakes I didn’t even ask it to take her clothes off.

It is no accident that the early use cases for "genAI" consumer products revolve around the sexual harassment, abuse, and exploitation of women in power. It is no accident that the technology is immediately embraced as a tool of patriarchy and gender-based violence.

I don't really understand this for either team but that's been my reaction to every trade Utah has made this summer.

Lol wut

walking out into the woods behind my house and screaming THERAPY BUT NOTHING SERIOUS at the owls and bugs until I pass out

If he doesnt now, later is a different story…

That sounds sustainable.

2,000+ Jews gathered in Columbus Circle this evening to say No More to starvation and ethnic cleansing.

Led by rabbis, they of them moved to the front of Trump Tower, read the names of Palestinian children killed, and said Kaddish.

The NYPD is currently arresting dozens of them.

This is awful on so many levels.

Andor one shot spinoffs I'd like to see:

- adventures of Young Marva & Clem
- what happened to Kerri Andor?
- the occupation & destruction of Kenari
- life & death of Anto Kreegyr
- Bix and her kid
- further adventures of Kleya, Vel & Wilmon
- Melshi pre-Narkina 5
- Uncle Harlo, petty criminal

If you've ever had to drive from Reno to SLC you'd know this take is incorrect.

The Mothership Vortex: An Investigation Into the Firm at the Heart of the Democratic Spam Machine How a single consulting firm extracted $282 million from a network of spam PACs while delivering just $11 million to actual campaigns.

The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand:

$678M raised through those spam tactics

$282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies.

$11M to actual campaigns (1.6%)

The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

[quoting a tweet by fractalcounty that reads, “today I learned that there are actual people irl who get genuinely upset if they catch you using chatgpt. like they view it as a serious moral failing in certain circles”]

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

Which is more ironic, Republicans wanting a king to rule them or Liberals not believing in liberty for all.

Entertain would be another good Sleater-Kinney selection

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

Also I'd like to add Kurt Vonnegut to the list of Old Guys Who Has an Immeasurable Positive Impact on My Upbringing.

Anyway, be patient, be kind, and always try to help where you can.
