Oh interesting. I think the only interaction I have with AI as part of my delivery job is how the tracking and metric systems that monitor my second-to-second actions are getting even more effective probably as a result of some corporate dipshits integrating it in. Guess that makes me an elitist

dame@dame.is

my nuclear-grade AI hot take that’s sure to get me cancelled until kingdom come is that refusing to use AI at all is rapidly becoming an extremely privileged lifestyle choice that feels social justice-y while actually being the complete opposite

Oh and also the fact that Google Maps has gotten noticeably slower and shittier at around the same time they updated it to force Gemini integration

Getting some work done at my local dive. At first I thought the guy on the left was acting like a total scammer, but after observing more closely I think it's actually the guy on the right taking advantage of him. I should step in and help him out

This article does not discuss one major reason why chocolate in the West got worse - Ghana and Ivory Coast, the two African countries that are the biggest suppliers of cacao globally, got organised and started demanding fair prices for it. www.reuters.com/world/africa...

I'm finally gonna See Everything :0 also I know this is a boomer humor complaint but lmao at concession prices. Asked for their smallest combo and my total jumped from $11 to $42, had to sheepishly tell them I changed my mind

This ongoing story by Haus is fascinating in how people are responding to it in a similar way to how people reacted to I Saw the TV Glow. It's either "I don't get this" or "this is borderline traumatic and you are drawing my life" and there is very little crossover. It's excellent. It's horrible.

I Don't Sleep Well (Title)

Seems bad

Here’s something you should know about minks: They have lungs and airways remarkably similar on a cellular level to those of people. They’ve spread flus and infected humans before with COVID-19. Right now, bird flu is spreading on a Utah farm filled with thousands of them… 🧵

Just saw Jesse Singal's latest hot dog suit post, and I think the big dividing line in anti-trans activism is best thought of not as "extreme vs moderate" but "chaser vs non-chaser"

Non-chaser transphobes just want us wiped from the Earth. Chaser transphobes just want to keep us marginalized enough to be more easily consumed/controlled/discarded. The latter is basically the Epstein agenda around trans people

Fucking awful day. One of those really bad spirals of getting up after not enough sleep and just sitting immobilized thinking about how I want to do XYZ but am too tired and should rest but not being able to do that

Even with all in-game and out-of-game accessibility aids I can muster, my 2nd attempt at RDR2 has again quickly fizzled out due to repetitive strain. I know part of this is just me not being able to play most any game in the coming years, but I must say Rockstar specifically has it out for tendons

"All movement is dictated by constant combination/fluctuation between tapping and holding multiple inputs, and accessing half the menus means keeping one input held down while you navigate the menu with others" is just a no-go for me at this stage, there's no accessibility workaround with them

It'd be cool if I was allowed to sleep more than 5 hours per night. Unfortunately that activity is banned between the months of October and February

I am too tired to continue with any smoke around this incident, but I just stumbled upon this post again is it is *wild* that he never even felt the need/desire to delete it

Idk if I'm just getting too old or have just developed a prey response to queerbaiting, but I just read a "gender-themed" webcomic that seems to have a bunch of queer people gushing over it and my main reaction was just feeling vaguely insulted

I don't think authors need to lean into queer-pessimism or w/e, I just don't have the stomach for "character who passes as cis woman but goes out of his way to tell people he's really a man, has serene angel vibes, little interiority, and serves mainly to teach the protag about self-acceptance" rn

The closest I found to an article that wasn't a variant of "[people with my job] are dumb losers" was one where the concept of treating us with respect was the punchline itself

There's not even a potential positive spin on this one like most other dogshit moves by staff. This is just a 100% Muskian move, which they probably knew to the extent that they didn't announce it in any way

a cool thing about indie animation is that it's expected to save the entire industry, every show has to look better than the things the fans grew up on or it's a waste of time, there's no union to be found anywhere, no budget for any of it, and asking the audience to pay anything to watch is illegal

Funny seeing this consent manufacturing immediately after seeing a poll showing FL's Amendment 3, which would eliminate property taxes in the state, as having support in the low 40s and trending downward

Politico@politico.com

“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

If you can't sell this policy in Florida, the premier location for ladder-pullers from across the nation, I'm not buying your argument that it's some popular movement

The Cartoon Network leak revealed that the team actually wrote fake interviews for the Powerpuff Girls in-house so that the writers could understand them better and honestly this is incredibly useful for learning how to characterize your characters holy shit

I don't think I've heard Tanden talk much. Is that just how she sounds all the time or is she ever-so-slightly shitfaced in this clip

Al Jazeera English@aljazeera.com

Neera Tanden worked in senior roles for three Democratic administrations. Does that make her part of the Democratic establishment? Watch the episode with @mehdirhasan.bsky.social and @neeratanden.bsky.social tonight on Al Jazeera’s YouTube channel.

The recent trend of crowd work focus in comedies was bad enough, but can you even call this crowd work at this point?

This is this promotional material that Netflix is using for Theo Von’s new special. Who is laughing at this?

the funniest part is he asked for n64 bomberman, we booted up 64, and then he was like "oh not that one the one with the good song" so he was 100% thinking about redial (but bought 64 and 2nd attack alongside hero anyway)

Ended up being closer to $250 but this is still gonna fuck me up

My federal loans are about to jump from $0 to $400 because the old plans are ending and despite saying I could submit current pay info it is forcing me to use most recent IRS data, which would show the middle class job I lost over a year ago. Can't find any mechanism to correct this

Sooo glad i saw Digger instead lol

The Social Reckoning seems right up my alley, but "written and directed by Aaron Sorkin" gives me serious pause
