Fight the urge to take shortcuts. Use your brain! "Good at writing prompts" is no substitute for a fully functional brain. #AI #ChatGPT

I may be in the minority here, but the last episode of #WhiteLotus was terrible. Lazy and gutless.

Mariners have unicorn pitching staff but it's 'absurd' Seattle won't spend on offense Seattle had the best rotation in baseball, but a historically-bad offense kept the team out of the playoffs.

Unserious franchise. You get $0 from me until new ownership. I hope others are doing the same.

Calling it. #Nirvana is going to be a prominent part of my 2025 Spotify Wrapped because that #FIreAid set has me feeling those feelings that only blasting Heart Shaped Box as loud as possible can help.

Hello, friends of #NBASky (and all the recent new arrivals). Quick 🧵.
It’s been really cool/gratifying to see so many NBA fans/media gather here. I feel like we’ve reached critical mass, to the point where I barely check the other site anymore, and hardly miss it. (cont.)

First of all, Donald Trump is not president right now.

He's a private citizen. He does not have access to presidential powers. He does not have the ability to do any of that.

Please understand that TikTok's decision to name Trump in the notification is a choice. They are signaling that they have agreed to privately collaborate with Donald Trump and the Trump administration.

For all of those concerns that people were saying that TikTok is gonna be used as a propaganda tool by the Chinese, understand they're using it as a propaganda tool for the right.

Now, I want you all to put all the pieces together because what this effectively means is that every mass social media platform in the United States has been taken over by the right wing, with the exception of Blue Sky (but Blue Sky is still very small, relatively).
