I'm sure the Alexa Plus ads with Nikki Glaser and Pete Davidson are supposed to be funny, but it just makes both of them look like sad people with no friends.

Little known fact: You don't actually get a BlueSky award for being an annoying naysayer. You're just annoying.

We won't be getting it from corporations; we'd be getting it from the government. I also don't expect it to happen in my lifetime, but hope springs eternal.

I am aware of that.

It would be great if some celebrities could turn out for the Paralympics the way they do for the Olympics. Doubt we're gonna see the likes of Snoop and Martha or Stanley Tucci celebrating human achievement there in two weeks when it's not so high profile.

I trust John Hamm, Idris Elba, and Matthew Broderick less now because of this.

I really wish actors understood how shitty ai was replacing real people's jobs when they took these commercial gigs.

I love the Italians being like "Look at our culture!" and then playing some Beethoven for us. #OlympicsClosingCeremony

I'm okay with us all being automated out of our jobs ONLY IF we institute universal basic income AND we don't end up with a servant class doing the jobs that can't be automated. This doesn't work if society doesn't get better for everyone.

Does anyone else think it's weird how many prescription drug commercials warn us about tuberculosis? The Victorian coughing disease? I've never known someone with tb in the US in my life. Why would your drug make me get that?!?

Individually wrapped slice of pound cake from the gas station.

I understand the ice skating requirement means there's a higher cost of entry than the other sports that smacks of racism and classism, especially in warmer climates. I doubt anything I post here will draw the attention of the typical BlueSky commenter.

I like hockey partly because it's the only major league sport you need to have a bizarre skill to play. Imagine if baseball was played on unicycles, or basketball on stilts. Everyone else is just on the ground, in shoes.

So cool to see commercials for Gemini and Salesforce that instruct companies how to not hire any more employees so we can all stay unemployed and underemployed. So cool.

Donald Trump illegally stole $1700 from you is a gift midterm message.

Yes, everyone who watches NHL hockey.

I need to know if Jack Hughes's parents knew what they were doing when they named him. They have other sons. Did they try to come up with other puns, or did they have no idea how much fun it would be to say his name until much later?

I'm pretty sure I just saw a commercial for yachts. Dude,we got Peacock with ads. We're in no position to buy a yacht.

Need a break from the doom scroll? Y'all are still just a couple of clicks away from the joy, laughter, and unconditional love of "Clean Slate" and whatnot.

Fortunately for my husband, I don't really like plums or writing poetry.

William Shatner calling himself "Will Shat" isn't as funny as they think it is.

Grok can do your taxes now! Just upload your W-2, your bank info, make sure it has your social security number and any passwords it may need. Easy peasy!

Many different circles of pastel colors overlapping. Some are outlined in black.

I had to take the night off from work due to excruciating pain and did some art therapy on my tablet instead. Surprisingly calming. I made all these bubbles with the "bokeh" brush, then started carefully outlining them one by one. It took hours to get this far. It's not much, but I like the effect.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

If you grew up loving Pee-Wee's Playhouse, you're queer now. I don't make the rules.

AND uploaded this beautiful FREE coloring page of my book’s cover art. Can be used with any #pagan holiday lesson, who doesn’t love a good coloring page?? 😊

I hope the people at Svedka vodka know how much we hate their ai robots commercial. I hope they sell less vodka because of it. Every time it plays during the Olympics, I'm glad I don't drink, but if I did, I'd never buy Svedka because of their terrible ad.

ChatGPT promised to help her find her soulmate. Then it betrayed her ChatGPT sent screenwriter Micky Small down a fantastical rabbit hole. Now, she's finding her way out.

Just a reminder that ChatGPT cannot betray anyone because it doesn’t have feelings or motives or thoughts

They're not converting them into housing, though. They are literally going to shove human beings in there like cattle. It's concentration camps. No care is being taken here. They are planning on warehousing people and letting them die.
