We’d all scream like that if we could.

Reminds me of a lyric by The Blow:
β€œAll of the babies they can feel the world, that’s why they cry”

Yeah I got you - you mean the new show logo, or the scrawled one? I’ve got either in svg (vector) so they can go as large as you want)

If you DM me an email or Discord handle I can send the files.

I'm so tired of hearing people say "oh well antivaxxers are only harming themselves/their own kids". Herd immunity protects everyone - people with weakened immune systems, people who can't be vaccinated or who the vaccine doesn't work on.

Tolan: Alien Best Friend

There are a whole swath of AI wellness and community apps coming that are just dopamine-hit profiteering dressed up as therapy.

Reading through the privacy policy for Toland AI makes it clear this is Facebook's surveillance capitalism turned up to 11 with a friendly cartoon face.

It’s 100% not Sam. There are so many errors in it I’m not sure where to start, but it’s ridiculous that Ryan fell for it.

&udm=14 | the search engine Konami code A quick way to get an AI-free search without any extra work.

It should be noted that Google has noticed the backlash enough that they quietly published a code that would removed AI results for their searches.

An enterprising person built a default site to search without AI, and the results are goddamn refreshing as hell.

A white woman with straight brown hair is talking a selfie and smiling. Her hair is now only just past her shoulders and has nice layers framing her face.

Niche complaint but #StormAmy has absolutely fucked up the tides today.

We should’ve been afloat for around 6 hours, but barely got 3 before the tide went out again. 😩

Lyme disease: 'My independence is gone completely' after tick bite Maia Pavey was left bedridden after Covid-19 reactivated an infection from a tick bite as a teenager.

Sooooo the BBC’s message here is β€œlearn how to protect yourself from Lyme disease” while completely ignoring that it was a Covid infection that triggered her latent Lyme?

How about tips on protecting yourself from Covid & Long Covid as well?? πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«
