Also a reminder that if you are reading good coverage, share/post those links, a lot has shifted and people need to know where to find information

“the vibes have shifted” is passive voice. “tech oligarchs made deliberate changes to social media algorithms which altered the way most people perceive reality in a successful attempt to engineer business-favorable outcomes” is more EW WOKE CRINGE but it’s also direct, accurate, and meaningful

Witness said a bus driver told an ICE agent to "gargle [his] balls" when the latter requested to enter the bus.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Cole has a stray cat he convinced to show up nightly on his fire escape with cans of tuna that he calls Rusty— does that count??

It’s wild to have two cats and have one of them be just so much more dumb.

Me: Satan, you better not be assuming a cunty pose on some rock in Hell.

Satan:

the world they want is one where you're either unemployed or work an almost no wage job, you have almost no political input or self determination and you’re happy about it because you can get a t-shirt off temu for a $1

I ❤️ Ignoring Any Lore Anywhere About Elves Not Having Bodyhair

A painting of a figure posed as an anatomical Venus: her chest is open, revealing her organs, but there is no blood. She holds her heart up in her right hand. She has light skin and long, curly ginger hair decorated with pearls. She stands against a black arch background, with a pomegranate tree growing behind her. A white piece of fabric winds around her body. Black text at the top left of the arch reads “Figure I.”

I think it’s really important we identify the companies that are doing the right thing and reward them with our business.

I understand that ChatGPT is down and fortunately this is not a problem for me as I have spent considerable time developing a local language model that I am able to run autonomously, fueled by Coke Zero and snacks

Painting of two figures, both original characters, in an embrace. A smaller, blonde man with light skin and freckles is enveloped from behind in the arms of a larger man, with tan skin, curly dark hair with gray in it, and a beard. Blood on the larger man’s hand drips down to where it holds the smaller man’s, so they are both bloodied. The smaller man is wearing regency-era clothing: a white shirt, white stock tied in a bow, black waistcoat, and black coat. The larger man wears a loose white shirt with the sleeves rolled to expose his forearms, and which blends into the background of the painting.

we’re both of us beneath our love, we’re both of us above 🕊️🩸

The reason A.I. is being shoved down our throats is shareholders want a return on their investment. Every company that integrates this crappy tech into their products knows you don't want it, but they've sunk too much money into it and don't care. Turn it off, don't use it, don't look back.

Makes perfect sense to discontinue medical research right after a global pandemic that killed millions. This is the kind of strategic thinking we need!
