On TikTok, someone has to contradict you no matter what. I posted that if treating yourself to something helps you want to stay alive, that cost is worth it and someone said “Yeah just keep consuming I guess.”

YEP. That’s what I said. I would like you here, consuming and alive. Alive. Alive. Alive.

They didn’t

The Oval Office is back on the market…

Including the interview with @katecrawford.bsky.social - and the terrific idea of AI as a “metabolic technology”

Briefly when back on twitter, I blocked 75 Blue Check/Maga trolls before getting to the non- paid comments. Turds floating to the top.

She’s probably supposed to be wearing snow pants under her coat

No. You (hopefully) have no idea what middle school girls are like.

Just picked up the eldest from her dorm and brought her home for Christmas ❤️

He drove his wife to suicide, gtfo

I know, I’m just teasing!

Ah.

I need NPR to do actual reporting. I don’t care how people feel. The latest election has shown that most Americans are extremely gullible and will vote against their self interest. I care about the material consequences of these actions.

“We know this is dangerous, but we don’t know exactly the mechanism, so let’s open up this box. Pandora said just a peek is fine”

I don’t have the bandwidth to worry about microplastics honestly.

It’s the only good food they know.

Yes, but since most brits think cinnamon bears are spicy, I can’t imagine they’d taste good to me. I like my fish and chips with lots of garlic vinegar and spiced ketchup for the fries :)

This is so incredibly depressing.

I’m 47. I do have a 15 and a 19 year old, so I’m well acquainted with the foibles of youth. However, I remember how it felt, and find the condescension of age just as gross as I did when I was young.

Every one of these have the nastiest search history imaginable

Is my brain weird? Connections is my favorite puzzle game, I get it nearly every day, almost no mistakes. Wordle is actually harder for me.

If this is your dismissive attitude towards the youth, I can’t imagine you’re very effective at your job.

If you think about it, the very best books are really just extremely long spells that turn you into a different person for the rest of your life

i feel like there should be a person who's job it is to show up the first day of shooting, sit the director and the cinematographer down in a room and say "whatever you're about to do, it does not need to be that dark."

Bluesky seemed briefly better than Twitter, but you can’t outrun the stupid.

A dizzyingly compelling response, I’m convinced! Now, I’ll just have to forget all the actual research I’ve done on the topic.

No, it’s a slur. No decent person uses it.

I’ll have to brush up first, silly billy, but the “US food is poison, EU standards are better” is just not accurate.

This is a myth, mostly things are called by different names
