Just a reminder that @ellipsus.com exists and is absolutely anti-AI 🥰

Ugh, talk about jumping the shark...

No one's ever quite explained to me how it's possible to "ethically" use AI when the technology itself consists of flagrantly stolen material. Seems a bit of an unacknowledged tautology, in my view.

This is probably one of the more unhinged reviews I've written about a book, but hard to say anything else without spoiling it. I have the most unsettling book hangover now, like I can't think about anything else.

It's been a long time since a book walloped me like The Book of Guilt (by @catherinechidgey.bsky.social) has just done. I read the entire second half compulsively, unable to stop, letting out many murmurings of "oh holy shit" and "no fucking way" which disturbed my cat. Now I can't sleep. 10/10.

What a bloody legend.

"single-use plastic of the mind" had me GAGGED

Is it less obnoxious for a lucky person to acknowledge their luck, or is that even worse somehow? I can never decide...

This is devastating.

Where do I subscribe to this creative project??

The people dominating our political landscape, culture, and economy are just so stupid and full of shit it's almost impossible to describe

Every tech update now is like: "Great news, the word processor you've relied on for twenty years has learned to juggle! Is it good at it? No! Does it help in any way? Of course not! Has it made it insufferable to use? Oh, absolutely."

For the first time in a long time, I stayed up too late writing, and I have zero regrets.

Art is a verb. Creation is intention plus action. Consciousness is a pre-requisite.

From the TeslaLounge community on Reddit: Social says this is how to preserve my Cybertrucks finish, but I’m not buying it. Explore this post and more from the TeslaLounge community

Yeah, I've tried this, in my experience a combination of saltwater and lemon juice is the best way to wash your cybertruck. It preserves the finish really well!

This might be the secret to the perfect life, too.

Giving up on Vikings after season 3 ep 7 because life is too short to watch poorly written television shows that kill off all the interesting characters. Baffling that this was so popular back in its day. Maybe Game of Thrones has spoiled me.

Heated computer mouse for winter. Is this anything?

Those are some really cool bugs!

*marks a book as ‘finished’ on my goodreads*
ooh an email!
(it’s from goodreads saying i finished a book)

Incorrect. That's actually a perfectly reasonable annoyance! :P
