Indeed. LGBTQ+ people won equality so hard that we'll have gay marriage for about 15 years at the rate things are going.

'Vending machine' is really useful, because so many of the words available to describe genAI have inherent implications of 'alive', even if only minimally - 'spit', 'regurgitate', 'hallucinate' etc. I have found this very frustrating. (continues)

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:

1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;

2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;

3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

This tattoo, by InkedMongoose on IG, is perfect. No notes.

The echo of the fire belts shakes the ground beneath us! By God, it feels like the end is near

Five more Palestinians have died from starvation in Gaza, due to Israel’s restrictions on aid, bringing the total to 217 since the war began, including 100 children, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

is that good

"(modern right-wing thing) only happened because (ethnic group, sexual minority or women) went too far with (minor inconvenience) in the 2010s" living in a moment of apparent reactionary hegemony is already pretty grim but do they have to be so fucking whiny about it

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:

“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”

Israel just killed him.

BREAKING: One of the most important and prominent reporters on the ground in Gaza has been Anas Al Sharif.

He - and several other Al Jazeera journalists - have just been assassinated by Israelis forces whilst in their press tent in central Gaza.

Speechless.

The acceleration of the anti-vax movement owes a lot to the erasure of long covid/ post-viral illness. Covid conscious folks have been screaming from the rooftop that trying to bury the pandemic means letting the anti-vax narrative on what's been causing increased illness go unchallenged.

Every 8-12 years for the big ones

This is sick.
We’ve literally killed the solution to create a market for “treatments.”

everyone who claimed it was their god given freedom to give your grandma covid have now pivoted to their personal freedoms being tied directly to being allowed to burn your house down

just heard about a distant relative named Trinity, and all i could think was:
Matrix fan? or Jesus fan? cause those are two very different vibes.

My logging on to this website every day

using the power of AI, you can now step into and even talk with your favorite paintings, like the mona lisa! she won't stop screaming. her mind cannot comprehend the third dimension we placed her in. every moment of her existence is like being smashed through a plate glass window in every direction

Stop debating this website's growth potential. I don't care. I'm a digital hermit crab. If it dies, I'll find another shell as I've done a dozen times before.

Bold of you to suggest that what matters is the quality of the experience in a service and not just the raw numbers of people lining up.

Infinite growth is overrated. (And very capitalism-coded.) Honestly, we all talk about Twitter like Elon Musk ruined it -- it was already galloping toward ruination. He just finished the job. Part of the Twitter problem WAS that it was just getting so huge, so out-of-control.

‘Homelessness Ministry vacancy’ reads like some decent early punk

A little hand drawn fineliner drawing coloured with pencils. It looks cute and peaceful. Kirby floats snugly in a rubber band in a garden bath tub. there’s some rubber duckies. The sun is shining. There’s some trees and grass behind the wooden fence. Today is a good day.

Kirby is thriving.
