Téa Smith

Thank you so much @marnimead.bsky.social. I love you in your face.

(Making a weekend of it, I think and will book the hotel as well, because that'll be around the time I'll be admitted as a lawyer too, so hey, we'll take the opportunity to celebrate - or comiserate should the legal board decide after all this training that I'm not a fit & proper person...)

yay!

Anyway, practise gratitude T. Not like you've always been front row and it's not like it IS the back row, and you can stop being a 4 year old having a tantrum anytime. 😂

Anyway ...woohoo!

My husband is laughing at me because I didn't get any presale codes for @actualbenfolds.bsky.social & watched as MY front row seats got swept up by some asshole (I'm sure they're nice).

I still had a sook. He's laughing because I said, very seriously that "second row may as well be the back row".

Paul is having a week off so I thought I’d make him fat

I talked about the uncritical adoption of AI, and the religious parallels with feudal kings, and why I think business leaders and governments are falling for it.

Check it out. Link below.

I installed Linux as part of our “unshittification” experiment. Microsoft gone, Adobe gone, Spotify gone.

Anyone who tells you that messing with an autist’s systems/routine doesn’t cause physical pain, send them my way so o can throw my laptop at their head

(It’s gone fine mostly, but friiiiction)

He’s touring Australia again. Squee. But you’re not allowed to buy tickets until Monday 11:07am AWST.

Has anyone ever thought it odd that Americans are basically illiterate, but all of them have a book out?

Just me?

ok

10/10 they buy the book, have the book, but don't read the book and you could put blank pages in the middle and nobody would notice

The absolute wildest thing I have learned today as I went deep into SovCit case law is that Subway Jared tried to use Sovereign Citizen arguments to get out of jail

I feel bad for letting out a hearty laugh at a criminology textbook I'm reading and every contributor has a long 'positionality statement' where they self-flagellate about their privilege.

Ah, 2018, never change. It was a funny, well-intentioned, but stupid as fuck time.

What's amazing is that he could be the first Twitter President AND the first President to also be cyberbullied out of office

Yeah lol nobody is going to buy it.

But the community note is the funny part.

Meanwhile, on the dumbest app on earth, from the dumbest country on earth...

Also lol nobody wants your poo-laced meat.

Our government knows what's up. I look forward to seeing the malicious compliance that follows with regulations-to-death and forcing it to have a giant US flag or something lol

So… did he bomb Colorado?

The thing about online “conservatives” (not conservative, fascists) and losers online is that they think they’re so edgy.

I find them extremely dull.

They’ve been complaining about he same crap for a decade. Grown adults. 10 years whining, no curiosity, never moving forward.

Holy shit 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

“You remind me of this other guy I used to date”

New South Park right now

As usual smashes it right out of the Park 😂

My husband called it “slop at the top” 😂 it so needs to be a thing

Google’s AI Is Destroying Search, the Internet, and Your Brain Google’s AI Overview, which is easy to fool into stating nonsense as fact, is stopping people from finding and supporting small businesses and credible sources.

AI overviews are destroying search, destroying websites, and are easy to game. Really bleak stuff here: www.404media.co/googles-ai-i...

I woke up because I thought of a potential research paper about the admissibility of evidence obtained in online communities/honeypots

Police powers: the spy who fragged me

I can now go back to sleep

Yes I could have recharged it beforehand but WHO DOES THAT

The thing I love most about the Magic Mouse is how it is the Windows Update of mouses and it will 100% decide it needs a recharge when you're in the middle of doing something important

Not long though

It’s that time of the trimester where I have to keep repeating how I’m not allowed to hate myself over and over again because my disability is incompatible with stupid uni

I’m not allowed to say it

Feel it but

Want to make millions with AI? These books probably won't help. In which Amazon authors with AI-generated portraits publish low-effort books on learning about and making money with generative AI
