"If a woman fancies that she looks better or feels better in men's clothes, there is no reason why she may not indulge in so harmless a fancy."

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want a bookshelf with a rolling ladder?

Tweet by @BrendanCarrFCC: "Broadcast licenses are not sacred cows. Media companies must operate in the public interest, or they will be held accountable under the Communications Act." The tweet quotes a Los Angeles Times article titled, "How Trump's FCC chief pick could make life more difficult for media companies"

This is Trump’s FCC pick. By threatening to yank broadcast licenses, he is hoping the media companies obey in advance and won’t say critical things about Trump. It’s a fascist tactic.

Australia’s Macquarie Dictionary names ‘enshittification’ word of the year Australia’s Macquarie Dictionary says term captures widespread sense that things are getting worse.

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a raging snowstorm, and Agatha Christie novel, a crackling fire, a kettle on the stove, and a basket of emotional support pastries.

WHOREGINIZATION??? I’m SCREAMING

they should make video games so that they listen through your mic for the sound of a beer opening and when it detects it your character in the game will also have a beer in their hand

This is your reminder to get a library card. They have so many services and basically all of them are free.

i need to get drunk.

fuck transphobia.

it sucks not being able to exist in public.

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

this is like the phase of leaving an abusive relationship when the abuser is FURIOUS you're gone even though they've been saying how much they hate you for years.

Y'All THE MASTERMIND BEHIND THE SUBSERVIENT CHICKEN IS ON HERE!!!

Truly this is the greatest app on earth.

to be honest this feels like the first time i had ever found any kind of actual online receptiveness to who i am, in any tiny way. and it already feels like bsky is seeking to quell that. the more i post my actual feelings the more i realize my tumblr mutuals are apathetic to me. dissapointed

Word of the day is ‘librocubicularist’: one who loves nothing better than reading in bed.

(Not easy to say, but I’m glad to know it exists).

To be fair she does look like a chicken.

I am suggesting a way to harness your pedantic instincts for good!

Make companies look stupid for lumping LLMs with the wider AI/ML field!

We did the same thing with companies who say "this product has no toxins" or "chemicals"!

We're doing it with terms like "carbon neutral"!

We can bully them!

There are a lot of annoying people on the Internet with essentially zero reading comprehension.

Thread. "AI" is a marketing term and a hugely inexact one at that.

(And also erroneous; there's no "intelligence" inside of it, although there is a lot of statistics)

Just an FYI and a reminder. Alt Text isn't like a caption. It is for visually impaired people. A "screen reader" reads the alt text to them, so it should be descriptive text.

If it's a verbal meme, you should enter the text of the meme. If it's a visual joke, you should explain the joke.
