Gotta keep a tidy island! I used to put up a little custom welcome sign 😅

How do I sign up, not to study exactly, but to read the output of this department?

In my head as I read the part in brackets I heard the wood chipper sound

…is this érotica?

Way to stand up to... *checks notes* 61-year-old recreational players. Good work, USTA. 🙃

This has been in my head for a year

This happened to me in dance class once - my $150 dance shoes (sneaker-style jazz shoes w/split sole) during a sequence of pirouettes. Lost my shoes from spinning too much!

You can find who is on the committee for the Kids Online Safety bills today via the link to the Energy and Commerce site I reposted, so if you have a rep, please also call them directly and complain

Everyone else pls call the E&C lines

Majority Office: (202) 225-3641

This is DEFCON 1 priority, y'all. Call your senators, reps, call your friends and tell them to call their senators and reps about this. Call your grandma and tell her to call her senators and reps about this.

What we have here will be *gone* if these bills pass.

I think Keith’s sentiment behind this piece is already potent, but I’m also not afraid to say this work scares the shit out of me - the prospect of having your time cut short by something outside your control, leaving your story & legacy hanging, unresolved…

A cropped-in version of the ai-rendered house floor plan posted by OP. The crop-in focuses on the master bedroom labelled “Master Suite” which itself features no less than three built-in closets, with a connecting ensuite bathroom labelled “Coat Bath” that features two toilets, and also a “Huge Walk-in Closet” with the word “walk-in” mangled by the generator. The closet is adjacent to a “Master R0ksn” which was presumably meant to be a bathroom, though it only features a toilet and a small bath in the corner; as well as 2 doors. All these little rooms are situated around a small void space labelled “Main Foyer”, which in the context of the rest of the plan is definitely NOT the Main Foyer. Outside the Master Suite is also a “Master Room”, which is a funny way to say Sun Room

Oh thank god, finally a master suite with both a Coat Bath AND a Huge Wak M#N Closet.

Another *think coming

Don’t care how old they are, they’re getting it.

Everything before the ‘But’ is bullshit.

A PBS News tweet explains how two laid-off USAID employees created a website to match donors with canceled programs, keeping nearly 80 projects running in 30 countries. Below the text is an image of two people—Caitlin Tulloch and Rob Rosenbaum—appearing in a split-screen video interview, each seated in their respective rooms.

Meet two heroes of our times.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Between diffusion models and LLMs, tech has inflated a trillion dollar bubble around automating activities that have immense social and cultural capital—writing, art, photography—but little actual capital. It’s harmful to education, culture, and society with minimal overall benefit

Animal Crossing came out the week before our work went into lockdown; so as soon as we all logged off for the day in our respective homes within five minutes we’d be visiting each other’s islands ☺️☺️

screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

Gonna go ahead and bet none of it will be any good

They’ve been popping up on Facebook too (I don’t open the app often, but when I do…)

I’ve taken to blocking accounts that do it now.

OREGONIANS!!! Due to new legislation passed this year, the Oregon Public Utility Commission is developing new guidelines for how to divide energy costs between residential & commercial customers. TELL THEM DATA CENTERS NEED TO PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE!!!

Oh no sorry, I forgot, it’s “move fast and break things”

Isn’t the Silicon Valley mantra “can’t is better than won’t”?

If you don’t want people using your tool that way, make it impossible to use your tool that way.

A duck-shaped cake, as featured in the Australian classic Women’s Weekly Birthday Cake cookbook. It is covered in yellow icing and features lolly accents for its eyes and buttons, popcorn for its ‘hair’, crinkle-cut chips for its duck bill and a BIG red bow tied around its neck. Notorious for its difficult assembly, it has been the bane of parents everywhere since the ‘80s; likely even more so since it featured in an episode of Bluey. At least now the millennial kids who picked it are getting their comeuppance as parents.

Omg it’s duck cake’s evil twin

looking through the preliminary results, it appears the only things it can detect with any reliability are tim allen's big supernaturals. Huh.

An elderly Skitz, seated in the slightly overgrown grass. She loved being outside; she was the most herself there.

Skits, a pretty tuxedo cat, lying on a small mat on a tiled floor. She has a look on her face that seems to say that she is in the middle of something, can’t you keep it down? She wore that expression often

A slightly older Skitz standing on a small outdoor patio table (that has been brought indoors for some reason) next to two small food bowls. She is delicately posed, either for the camera or in plea for food. Probably the latter.

Just got the news that our childhood cat crossed the rainbow bridge today 😞 she was 21 so she enjoyed a lovely long life but I still miss her 😭💔

It’s literally a MANAGER role; it’s right there in the title 😵
