The decline in my mental acuity is due to depression, not AI, thank you very much.

Fanfiction is the sign of a healthy show, like a cold nose on a dog. It took me a while to come around to it early in my career, but I got there.

Government style ad in watercolour. Image of a burglar stealing a painting from the wall of a home. Tagline: "It's not theft... if you say you're using it to train your AI algorithm". Body text: "Theft is now legal, so we can boost the economy by eliminating jobs. If that doesn't make any sense, ask a chatbot to explain it to you." HM government logo in the corner.

Did a new one

I turned off the ‘smart’ features in my gmail account and now all of the emails will go unsorted into one inbox like its the olden days.

Worth it to keep gemini out. It was only 90% effective anyway.

I think I’m a heretic.

Exactly! I keep disconnecting the ac unit, only to have to reconnect it again.

Climate change is a *bitch*

Why is it 75 degrees in October in Michigan?

In my new save file in Hades 2, I had made an arbitrary decision to beat Chronos with the staff before using the other weapons. And I came close several times.

But last night, I gave up on that and used Lim/Oros.

I beat him twice in a row in under an hour.

your daily reminder that hope is a floatation device- grab it with both hands 🖤

I told you guys

Two young men lean down to point at a frog on the ground. The frog, in a speech bubble, says “ribbit”

This is now my favorite comic panel, ever

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

If you’re cutting your Disney spending plans, take a minute to tell them why, otherwise they might think it’s bc they haven’t had Mickey take a knee for Kirk.

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth

You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

Hell yeah!!!

I’m looking up Star Wars metals, and someone used phototropic instead of photochromic in the transparisteel wookiepedia article

So naturally now I’m wondering how to become an editor so I can fix that.

Today I learned about Megaflash lightning.

Nature is INSANE

Smoke from the Canadian wildfires is in my area making the air quality so bad I had to break out a kn95 for my short walk to work.

Anyway, yeah, excellent job Holt, excellent job writing team, excellent job Gunn. They all got Lex Luthor exactly right.
