Hey, as a heads up for NSFW peeps in the US, US President administration just made a shitton of BlueSky accounts. I would highhhhly recommend subbing to this blocklist so they don't show up on any algorithm feeds (and so they can't see your shit)

but yeah it's v frustrating because I am violently opposed to what-we-are-currently-calling-AI but in general think AI and ML are (or can be) extremely fucking cool

or even just photoshop. or ms paint

Page 1 Comic showing a person with black hair and yellow antennae struggling to explain ADHD-related difficulties. Panel 1: The character looks startled as another person enters cheerfully with a dog, saying, “Heyyy, I’m back!” Panel 2: The person frowns, “You said you would clean up!” The character replies, “I wanted to eat breakfast first…” Panel 3: The character adds, “But I couldn’t decide on what to eat, so I didn’t.” The other responds, “Well, now you know better. Next time just eat something.” Panel 4: The character, frustrated, says, “Don’t say it like that! I already knew that!” The other person asks, “Then why can you do it NOW?”

Comic continuing the ADHD explanation using a stove metaphor. Panel 1: A stove without buttons is shown. Text: “Because my brain is like a stove without any buttons. I know I have to cook, but how do I turn it on?” Panel 2: The stove stays cold. Text: “Knowing the consequences doesn’t turn on the stove.” Panel 3: Someone stands nearby; the stove lights up. Text: “When you’re next to me, it’s like you spawn a button for me. You are an outside source of buttons.” Panel 4: The stove smokes slightly. The other person asks, “What can you do to get a button yourself?” The character replies, “Uhh… I’m not sure… Medication helps a bit.”

Comic concluding the “buttons and stove” metaphor for ADHD motivation. Panel 1: The character explains, “ADHD is a disorder, it means serious impairment. You can do chores because you have to, right?” The other replies, “Well yeah, I have to.” Panel 2: The character points to a vacuum cleaner. “That’s because you get buttons for all kinds of things.” The other says, “Look at all those buttons!” Panel 3: The character shouts at papers, “I did so many pomodoros! WHY WON’T YOU TURN ON?!” Text: “I don’t get buttons for mundane tasks—it’s neurological, not motivational. You can’t just ‘motivate’ a stove to turn on.” Panel 4: Surrounded by drawings, the character smiles. “I only get buttons for interesting tasks.” The other person says, amazed, “So many buttons!”

Remember when I came up with "buttons" to explain executive dysfunction just because I had an argument with my partner about getting things done?

I made an entirely new series for ADHD Awareness Month explaining motivation & ADHD. Coming next week 👀✨

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD ***************** Investigation of: LOSS OF THE SUBMARINE TITAN IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN ON JUNE 18, 2023 * * * * * * Accident No.: *********** * * * * * * Interview of: Co-designer/Pilot Deepsea Challenger DCA23FM036 via Microsoft Teams Friday, July 26, 2024

INTERVIEW OF 10 BY LCDR 11 Q. So how did you get yourself started into submersible 12 operations? 13 A. Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic. When I 14 set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did 15 was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible 16 program at the P.P. Shirshov Institute in Moscow, a guy named 17| Professor I. I did that through a mutual friend 18 of ours, a guy named , who is one of the preeminent underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a 20 submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the 21 Russians. And that was organized by a Canadian company that was 22 doing an IMAX film which was released under the title Titanica.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

reminder that the teleological "GC" definition of "female" as "organised around the production of eggs unless something has gone awry" can be easily used against them. "trans women are female but something went awry meaning we don't produce eggs" - easy.

AI-powered textbooks fail to make the grade in South Korea South Korea’s AI learning program was rolled back after just four months following a backlash from teachers, students, and parents, underlining the challenges in embedding the technology in education.

South Korea pushed AI hard in schools. The national program was aborted within months, following massive pushback from students, parents and teachers, after a fortune had already been spent by both the government and education publishers

online liberals: we can fix capitalism by asking nicely.

online leftists: i will seize the means of production, right after this nap.

The EHRC removed the "interim guidance" that has been devastating the lives of trans people for months from it's website.

We wonder why...👀

Greta was stripped and had soldiers film themselves with her while Israel's far-right minister Ben-Gvir screamed at her. Absolutely degrading sexual abuse and the Swedish foreign minister's reaction is essentially "she asked for it".

IT IS I, POKEY!!!! I AM HOLDING A LOVELY TRANS FLAG AND DECLARING THUS: HOORAY FOR MY NICE TRANS FRIENDS!!

The NHS is changing trans people back to birth sex on file, meaning we will not be treated appropriately for our bodies.

This is deadly, completely unacceptable, and the result of hateful far right ideology in our politics and healthcare.

If you're having virtual sex with a chatbot that is a product of a corporation aren't you in some sense having sex with the corporation and giving it this tremendous hold on you/dependency on their protection of your privacy (but they know all your secrets). Who wants to have sex with OpenAI?

All lactose is tolerable for the pure of heart

the only thing i can think of where it makes any sense is that it's an example of what an infographic looks like and the kid is supposed to make an actual one?

but whatevs i'm mostly annoyed to have learned anything about these ppl's petty beefs

slight side eye to him saying he has a "vibration" collar and his dog is "professionally trained" those 2 things don't sit together for me

objectively the video looks exactly like a person using a shock collar on a dog? obv it could not be that

& I got Destiny mixed up with Mystery the PUA guy so

i didn't know who hasan piker was and i basically still don't. honestly i assumed those kind of just sitting there saying stuff streamers were all somewhere in the edgelord - incel - hard right space so was probably a bit eager to join in the dunking
