Jack-o-lantern rendering of RFK Jr, glowering. Well, it *kinda* looks like RFK Jr; it looks equally like any other scary white guy in charge of things.

Close-up of same RFK Jr pumpkin, now with a smiling worm popping out of his head to hammer home which scary white guy we were trying to depict.

@captequinox.bsky.social and I are back at our Scary National Figure pumpkin attempts. Can you guess who this is without reading the alt text?

Does the second photo help? ๐Ÿ˜

hey I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere but - if you're using Chrome and you don't want this gross little AI Mode button to pop up in your address bar, paste "chrome://flags" into your address bar and search the flags for "AI Mode." find "AI Mode Omnibox Entrypoint" then you can just disable it!

Got a brochure asking for our house to vote for the current mayor.

I am so moved by what youโ€™ve written (and how youโ€™ve written it) in this post. I know you did it because you needed to, and certainly not for thanks, but nonetheless: thank you. ๐Ÿ’š

Iโ€™d totally forgotten about this William, and now I remember we had a childrenโ€™s picture book, *A Tale of Two Williams,* about a kid named William who took a version of THIS William around the Met to look at art! GREAT BOOK!

General Mills Sued for Racial Discrimination and Retaliation - UNICORN RIOT Former employee is suing General Mills for racial discrimination and retaliation over speaking out about racist Black History Month literature.

As corporations across the US gleefully regress back to their racist roots, a worker is fighting back after he claims he was fired as retaliation for speaking out against racist Black History Month literature made by General Mills.

Stencil in pedestrian lane: in the foreground, YIELD sign; farther away, a worn-down pedestrian symbol facing left, with a fresh layer superimposed but facing right. They look like partner dancers.

Very specialized lane on campus: yield to dancing pairs.

who knows upon what text they fed
their hungry thirsty roots

I can't stop thinking about this because so much of the "benefits" of AI are for problems that could be resolved in other, more enjoyable & humane ways. Not having time to write an email or read a book has better solutions than getting a bot to do it for you for the illusion of having done it
