zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

There’s an essay to be written about how maga patriotism is just shitty fandom. Anyone who follows sports knows fans like this, it’s always the ref’s fault, the other team doesn’t exist, there’s some plot/player/coach holding the team back otherwise they’d always win easy bsky.app/profile/atru...

There's something about the drive to the ER. The liminal space between everything being fine and nothing being fine. The Schrodinger's Cat of confronting your parent's mortality.

It was just dehydration, this time.

But it's weird that it's been so many times I can skeet about it.

Election Day is Every Tuesday 10/5-11 At least two flip opportunities!

There are a whole lot of municipal elections this week, as well as a primary for the US House in TN-07.

We have AT LEAST two mayoral seats we can flip, so don’t sleep on this one.

Here’s the breakdown:
Mon Oct 6 - MD & MA
Tue Oct 7 - AK, AL, FL, IA, MA, NH, NC, & TN
Wed Oct 8 - MA
Sat Oct 11 - LA

1. Take this seriously. Here is how you do it. Take a screenshot of the #HatchAct violation, whether it's on LinkedIn or other social media or on the actual US Government website. When you file your complaint, provide your personal contact information. If you're a furloughed fed, you're off-duty.

It’s.
Time.
For.

Hey @wxpnfm.bsky.social, i fully support @jmcgnn.bsky.social's 885 power pop roundup! How do we make this happen?? (After Undercover. I'm so excited for cover songs.)

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

The thing is that LLMs are closer to Excel than the internet. Excel is a huge brand and makes a ton of money and was transformative in its markets.

The internet is the printing press, or agriculture, or metallurgy.

LLMs are being valued like the internet.

I really just need everyone to understand that if you use a bluelight filter, or a glare reducing screen, like a normal millennial adult whose eyes hurt from 30 years of smallscreen, you are already overqualified on OpSec from these doofus and should just run for office.

I wish we just had comprehensive healthcare and we weren't all loaning the same $100 to each other via gofundme over and over again.

if your response to jews being murdered at their synagogue on yom kippur is “anti-zionism is not antisemitism” or “blame netanyahu” just be honest that like seeing dead jews and want to see more of us dead. also, go fuck yourself.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

We have a #MinCup25 champion!!

Congratulations, #Kyanite!

After eight years of competing, another few hours to verify votes was nothing, right?

Amazing first run, #Tugtupite, and better luck next year.

Kyanite putting in the WORK! 💙

My grandad was a UAW autoworker for 43 years. I have a friend who's a union boss in the construction industry.

M4A/single-payer is now & always will be a non-starter for union labor. They *gave up* higher salaries to *get those benefits*. Period. The end. That's it.

General PSA: If you contact a jewish org on Yom Kippur in need of a time-sensitive response, it's just not gonna happen and you need to not be surprised or upset by this.

I'm not saying this is antisemitism, I am saying this is a soft consequence of xtian hegemony//not having jews in your org.

Can I atone for not blocking people faster and more resolutely? I'd really like to improve on it in the upcoming year.

Go under any dem account saying something nice to American Jews about Yom Kippur and it's a block fest. #Jewsky

I’ll admit, #Tugtupite is a toughie, but as a Mineral Cup rookie, we all know that the Reindeer Blood stone’s approach will be to slide its blade along the stubby sides of #Kyanite to no effect whatsoever! Anisotropic. Beautiful DEEP blue. Kyanite is rested and ready to be #MinCup25 champion!

I’m very excited that #tugtupite made it to the finals but can it do this? Folded #kyanite in a high-pressure quartzite, western Türkiye. #MinCup25

YouTube video by Sur Govindarajan Font Reader

just a small clip but it gets the point across:

Every government shutdown over the past 30 years was caused by Republican intransigence in Congress, the White House, or both. (Remember that one time when Ted Cruz was basically the Speaker of the House for a few weeks?)

Dad is allowed to drink, throw shit around, hang out with his buds, blow off work, etc. but Mom has to clean up his messes so that they don't get utterly evicted from their home and lose custody of the kids.

Dear @apnews.com

The republicans control congress. Democrats did not vote down anything. If the GOP wanted to fund the government, they could have changed the rules to pass a CR with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to approve 48 trump appointees at once.

Fix your headline.

Republicans are letting the government shut down because they don’t care about keeping their constituents alive. They are willing to shut down the government because they refuse to restore accessible healthcare for 70% of Americans. That’s it.

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."

Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.

Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.

We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

My theory is that these men 1, need better friends/role models to model aging, and 2, truly think that governing is the cakewalk tv makes it out to be.

Bring back rich guys getting libraries named after them as a way to build clout instead of whatever the shit this is.
