‘It’s almost like we never even spoke’: AI is making everyone on dating apps sound charming Dating apps say AI can help people who are too busy, shy or abrasive to win dates. But a growing number of singles are finding that AI makes dating more complicated.

When people talk about how AI is going to help human beings connect and communicate, it always sounds crazy -- but saying that AI will enhance dating apps is ESPECIALLY demented. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Black and white A4-shaped poster with the word MAKE in big bold letters at the top and ZINES! in big bold letters at the bottom. In between, in capital letters is the following text... NO ONE CAN TAKE SELF PUBLISHING AWAY FROM YOU. NO ALGORITHMS OR OLIGARCHS CAN CENSOR YOU. NO GATEKEEPERS CAN TELL YOU WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY IS NOT IMPORTANT OR VALUABLE. NO GRANT FUNDING CAN BE WITHDRAWN FROM YOUR WORDS. NO INSTITUTION CAN BAR YOU FROM ENTERING. NO KNOWLEDGE IS UNAUTHORIZED. THAT IS WHY YOU MUST MAKE ZINES!

I remember having a discussion about social justice, and mentioning that I'm less of a warrior and more of a bard. I just want to sing songs and hope things work out.
Does that make me a wizard? or are bards cool enough to get their own category?

this is the kind of chaos I'm looking for. This is what I crave! 😈

I think Hersheys are good for smores, but everything else deserves individually packaged dove chocolates.

I literally saw your username, said "I should read their bio", and now I'm here.

You're like a successful first paragraph in a book, and im excited to see your story.

There's actually science behind this! IIRC, it's due to some sounds the we can't hear but can still feel the vibrations of. If needed, I'll look up the source paper later.

🍵??

I've been getting back into emailing, if you're interested

Learned what a "Treatler" is today. (it's apparently a combination of "Treat" and "Hitler")

this is the post that made me turn off my phone and go back to doing my actual work.

What do I want from Democrats in Congress? I want a haka. I want heckling when the GOP spews lies. I want no votes. I want filibusters. I WANT YOU TO TAKE THE WRENCH THEY'VE THROWN INTO THE RUNNING OF THE COUNTRY & I WANT YOU TO THROW IT THE FUCK BACK AT THEM. I want a fucking blue tsunami in 2026.

A decade ago, The Dress united and divided us. It couldn’t happen now. - Poynter It’s not just that virality isn’t replicable. It’s that the dress heralded the end of a specific era of media.

The Dress turns 10 years old, and represents the end of an era.

I'm literally about to take the dog on a walk and I keep having to remind myself that the kids probably still think it's cold

In my most Midwestern Mom voice,"It's a beautiful day, open the windows and air out the house." It's 40 degrees and the sun us shining so I said what I said

Please tell me this is something you own

Live whale only. Still swimming right into your gullet.

I have solved Bird Flu. Give the chickens ivermectin. Have the chickens practice Earthing. The problem with their immune systems is they are not touching the soil enough. Coffee enemas for all chickens. Also we must stop reading them Ibram X. Kendi. Eggs will be back and most importantly not gay.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors.

I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

and are they single?

Because if bones so big, how would we eat them? We are the apex predator, after all.

The bear thing is real too.

A parking lot showing a cybertruck in one spot, next to a car that has built a cybertruck-esque shell around it out of green plastic. It's really hard to describe exactly how silly this vehicle looks next to the green car.

In my city there is one cybertruck and one DIY parody of a cybertruck and the parody truck has become a local celebrity. Meanwhile, I always wish I had some rotten eggs to throw at the tesla whenever I see it.

my brain: "i recognize that place! I recognize those behinds! Practice was today!!"

Father and son fishing, and the man says "Son, don't listen to anyone who tells you that your dreams are unattainable. They probably assume you have something really big in mind."

Maybe I should actually start using the #comic tag.
