Threads thread: thriller_instinct 3d Is it okay to bully 40 and 50 year olds who are on social media just for being on it, cuz like why are you here - 254 Q 3.1K G 28 746 corporateash 18h ••• My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you. 852 Q62 G6 72

Finally!

No. Bring back Murder, She Wrote.

a lot of you haven't rewatched firefly recently and it shows, in the sense that you probably shouldn't rewatch it ever if you want to keep thinking it was good. it was a mass delusion that i also participated in but in my defense i hadn't started reading feminist blogs yet at the time.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

It’s doing a Bay Area swing right now, including a showing on Saturday at the Roxie in SF that Fiona Prine will be at.

5 Years After His Death, John Prine Gets a Cinematic Send-Off

Apropos of absolutely nothing but <gestures at it all> I muted my phone for two hours and went to see this John Prine documentary tonight and highly recommend you do the same if it shows near you www.nytimes.com/2025/11/27/a...

I’ll never understand the success Ryan Murphy continues to have offering up live-action Madame Tussaud’s

No Help and Few Options for Travelers Stranded by Mideast Conflict

One woman who called the State Department helpline looking for help said they told her to "stop ranting and raving" and hung up on her.

yesssss that is always the answer.

on the plus side, by the end of a few years you have a nice set of pens. (I sure do!)

whoever writes the emails for the local stationary store has a target right into my soul

ok I would definitely watch baseball if each team got one (1) animal to let loose during the game. when will you use your animal delay. what animal will you choose

The most valuable outlets in the world going forward are going to be the ones that try to help people understand the world we’re all living in.

Honestly speed it up, so we can separate the slop mills from the places that slow down and let humans do real reporting and investigations again.

Like just say you don’t like the act of journalism. Just say that! It’s ok to just say that!

Kinda weird to be running one of the world’s longest-lasting and most mainstream journalism outlets if you don’t, but that’s a separate issue.

Words have value and the only way you’re going to have readers is if they understand that you also understand this how can the ASSOCIATED FREAKING PRESS OF ALL PEOLE NOT UNDERSTA [walks into sea]

Filling readers’ feeds with nonsensical slop is not the journalism time-saver that these folks think it is!

I would rather listen to Billy Corgan’s podcast than read a news story produced through some AI slop farm.

Just sitting here astounded once again as the chasm that exists — and has existed for decades — between some of the people who make journalism and some of the people who run the journalism business

Truly cannot say I know a single editor who would prefer to deal with AI-generated stories over those written by a human reporter

‘One AP reporter said in a message that the “dismissiveness and disdain some of you have shown for human writing are insulting and abhorrent.’

I was a journalist once and writing stories I didn’t feel passionate about is how I got good at it

She’d just put money in the machine!
