It is hard to be happy if you see yourself as "the main character" of the world. realizing that everyone else, strangers you don't know, they all have a life as vivid and interesting as yours will help you, genuinely, to feel less lonely inside

I am fully convinced that Lilith is so attached to us because I am treating her as a creature to be loved and not one to be feared. Even when she is yawning inches from my face, I do my best to never be nervous because if my body is relaxed, she's relaxed. These are emotional and touchy creatures

This is Lilith. Lilith is a boa constrictor we rescued from a home where her needs weren't being met. In the last few months that we've had her, I've learned a ton about the behavior and cognition of these creatures. In this thread I will be summarizing what I have learned about boas.

This feels like a lot of lipservice to me considering that Firefox was all in on promoting AI in their browser and enabling it all by default. How about Mark Surman and the rest of the board step down after showing everyone how braindead and corrupt they are?

Until all ai features are conpletely removed, im not returning. Having "optional" ai in your product is like having "some" shit in your soup.

Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.

It's very, very telling, I think, that the markets are so concerned about the pro-democracy incumbent winning

You wanna tell me that someone is problematic out of the blue? Do they have an active legal case against them for a major crime? No? Are they a far right extremist? No? Then get the fuck out of my DMs. I'll associate with the people I want. Stop being a little lefty fascist.

I'm not blocking someone over interpersonal drama that has nothing to do with me. Get a fucking life and make some friends if you can get over the fact that literally nobody is perfect.

Let me purity test everyone I interact with in case they ever said a swear or did something I don't like. Let me abandon people I've cultivated relationships with because they made some kid mad.

Found out that my boa, Lilith, likes "slappies" You know that thing you do with cats and dogs where you slap their butt softly but rapidly? This snake likes when you slap the meaty parts of her body... surprisingly hard. She relaxes and leans into it. It's adorable but weird xD

When somebody terrible like RFK Jr says things like this, it’s tempting to respond with “but what about algebra?” This is actually a normal response because you’re engaging with the claims earnestly. The trouble is, he’s not lying to learn from you. A much better response is “You’re wrong, bigot”.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

The R stands for rapist, not republican.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

helenwebberley.comAre transgender sports bans really about protecting women? | Dr Helen WebberleyThe data says no. Those most hostile to women are most in favour of banning trans athletes.

Generative AI is autocomplete with extra steps, and that's the thing... If we used it like a real autocomplete where it could insert common code snippets and make sure all your variables are unique and have the right scope then it might have utility. All it does now is add bloat and obfuscation.

His most famous role is one I never connected with, but his portrayal of Psi Corps officer Alfred Bester in Babylon 5 has to be one of my favorite roles of his. You will be missed.

Just last month, on Sept. 14, he turned 90, on the same day Brad and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary. I will always treasure that he and I shared that date.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

China’s first AI-generated theatrical film, ‘Sanxingdui: Future Past’, has bombed at their domestic box office, only making $121,000 USD against a budget of $1.5M USD. In contrast, the crudely animated ‘Niu Lai’ made nearly $10M USD against a budget of $200-500 USD.

I think artists and sex workers should have a natural allyship. Both of us are often told we should not be allowed to charge for our work if it is at all pleasurable. Both of us are wanted for what we can do, but our work is considered not worth paying for. We should stick together
