Linked in is now the most depressing place where I can watch people I liked go to work on some AI nonsense. I hate 2026.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

Batman TAS’s opening is a core memory. So iconic and beautiful.

IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS. WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK. AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE. SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS. THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES. IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.

one of the most frustrating things about there being “no jobs” is that we all walk around and see the work that needs to be done. our cities are crumbling, our people need help, our world is dying. there’s so much work to be done, if only it were good for the balance sheet

We just had our lowest patreon payout in 2 years. We don't typically take sponsors and our next 2 projects are both ones that would be significantly weakened by the presence of one. If you enjoy our work and have funds to comfortably pledge to support us right now, we would really appreciate it.

Autistic derailment but man the capitalists did a fuckin number on the popular conception of luddites. They didnt hate tech they just wanted to ya know be able to eat. (I know you weren’t saying they did. Just… you know how it is :-p)

Salad has two things working against it. 1) it’s often the only “vegetarian” option at restaurants which… is a problem with restaurants really.. 2) iceberg lettuce with ranch isn’t a salad…. Which again I guess isn’t a salad problem so… maybe nevermind

When we didn't adopt a universal basic income during Covid and didn't use that chance to get a more sustainable and inclusive world I was massively disappointed, and my faith in humanity faltered

People will read that an LLM told a child he’d look sexy with his wrists slit and ask what he said to make it say that, never considering there’s literally nothing you should be able to say to have it spit that out.
