EVERY SINGLE PART of a lily is toxic!

Petals, leaves, pollen, the water in the vase.

You can celebrate someone other ways besides killing their cat.

I worked as a vet tech for 10 years. Let me assure you, you don't want to see your cat go through this nightmare.

Screenshot of a Tweet by @TheChiefNerd inclusing an interview with Sam Altman.

The text in the Tweet says:
SAM ALTMAN: “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”

The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever.

It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.

"Cars are the most absurd means of transport in a city. They are parked 95 per cent of the time. It takes two tonnes to move someone who weighs 70 kilogrammes. And the denser the city, the more absurd it is."

I still always feel like one of those bananas conspiracy theorists when I try to explain to people how you can draw a direct line from a woman making some YouTube videos about feminism in video games all the way to the downfall of the American Empire.

Deadly bombing of Iran primary school ‘a grave violation of humanitarian law’: UNESCO The UN education agency, UNESCO, says that the bombing of a primary school during the US and Israeli military attacks on Iran on Saturday constitutes a grave violation of humanitarian law.

When the target of the much-vaunted “precision weapons” deployed by Israel and its puppet, the US is a girl’s primary school, with 150+ defenceless children massacred, you’re left in no doubt that this is state terrorism and the perpetrators are vile criminals.

This man has made BILLIONS of dollars for corporations and now he’s wasting away penniless while they still profit. It disgusts me. We have to do what we can to help

I need about $500 more to cover my insurance this month

That's car insurance, not medical. I also need help with medical insurance.

So! If you like my articles, please:

1) quote tweet a recommendation/excerpt
2) tip if you can
3) link people to the piece!

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

Polite reminder to genuinely no one in particular that if you do a Kojima Productions retrospective and you pretend they only made two adventure games instead of five because three of them have dating sim cooties, I'm gonna legit turn into a ghost and haunt you in your sleep while I'm still alive.

As 404 Media has shown, Palantir considers Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) a “mature” partner, and is working on a tool called ELITE that ICE uses to find neighborhoods to raid.

Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!

A bestiary entry featuring a creature called a Moktopod.
The description is as follows:
"It moves erratically and is constantly shaking. Be wary any traveller who carries beans in Puddle Woods."

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

Three people in casual business attire stand on a stage with a book 'Women Changing Cities'.

Last night in Berlin, we didn't just share the inspiring work of changemaker Keisha Mayuga—as featured in the Manila chapter of 'Women Changing Cities'—we shared the stage with her as well.

Sometimes all cities need is one person to ask “Why can’t we do that here?” After that, anything is possible!

Lastly, Osaka shaped an environment where the sturdy, upright city bike—especially the famed mamachari or "mom's bike"—is universal and ubiquitous. These practical machines include accessories like fenders, baskets and child seats, making biking a more efficient form of walking—not sport, transport.

Not quite the point of the post, but I loved seeing how many women biked around Tokyo.
