I can't stress enough how extremely critical it is for folks who are even minorly technical to explain to their extended familles how dangerous AI chatbots and genai are.

Odd.

Instacart didn't adjust the cost of a by-weight item I ordered.
They charged me $100 in the app, the amount delivered said $40 (sale?) so I tried to contact support for the difference.

Instead the bot refunded the full $100.

Does make me wonder where else they've skimmed.

I feel you.

When I had periods that I was stretching 20 bucks to feed me for a week- I started doing "egg math"

How many eggs can I buy for the same amount of money what XYZ costs.
A Chipotle bowl = 4 dozen eggs..

When I get stressed now I still eat $0.50 ramen, even though I earn $$$$.

Lawyers in the case before Judge Sara Ellis in Chicago respond today to this DHS statement about Greg Bovinoโ€™s use of tear gas:

โ€œThe statement is a lie,โ€ they say.

Same thought.. have lived in some pretty extreme weather zones, and this is the first place I have to have contingencies planned for the power grid failing when it's warm, hot, cool, cold, windy, raining...

New Work by Gary Larson | TheFarSide.com Get an exclusive look at brand new cartoons and artwork from cartoonist Gary Larson, creator of the iconic comic strip The Far Sideยฎ.

It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again.

Shouldn't a baseline qualifing question for being selected as Love is Blind cast be "Have you or would you ever date outside of your race?"

Kacie with the "Sure, I was racist, but in an aired edit - he said he liked someone else from our 'date 16 people at once' experiment and ๐Ÿ˜ก"

Uhggg. And of course she's racist but saying it's not because she's racist while having no other excuse. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Remember when they were pearl clutching over Obama eating Grey Poupon, as if it isn't sold in every single fucking grocery store in America. Not quite caviar.

Btwn that + the tan suit, what are other early examples of right-wing media testing the waters of how mouth breathing their side is?

They tell you not to get vaccinated, while they vaccinate themselves. They tell you not to go to college, while they send their kids to private schools and ivy leagues.

Trump got his COVID booster and flu shot yesterday.

Police Bodycam Shows Sheriff Hunting for 'Obscene' Books at Library Body camera footage from Idaho reveals a sheriff hunting for a YA book he could use for a political stunt.

404 was founded fall 2023, reported on book bans early 2024, and is I think 4 journalists..

This seems like a very weird overreaction to investigative journalists wanting to spend money on public records requests in an area that they've also looked at almost since their founding ๐Ÿค”

They're cheering on brutality against their neighbors, oblivious that their own families are next.

Thinking of the folks a few years ago, who on a other app, slipped into my DMs *furious* when I said the Trump admin would build concentration camps to meet their deportation goals.

Luckily at least one had an aha moment when I broke down a "How else do you think this will work?"

Not a big K-pop person, but.. an adult who can't be embarrassed..
So decided to treat myself to a Happy Meal this past week.. toys were K-Pop BTS toys.

Was just generally impressed with the evidence that kpop is such a saturated global phenomenon that 8 yr olds in Texas are getting figurines.

Funny enough was discussing asset management with my CISO just now, opened up the app for a dopamine cleanse, and see your perfectly timed message. Sent the link over, we're already customers ๐Ÿ˜…

Such flaccid non-leadership.

If you're unwilling to do your job: resign

Newsom trying to criticize that Fox News entertainer freak for talking about killing homeless people when he himself destroys their homes, steals their belongings, destroys their prospects is absolutely motherfucking rich.

Odd but unsurprising seeing liberals bury their head in the sand rather than making any attempt to educate themselves about the actual real and present landscape of US politics today. Very boomer coded.
