This Is Just To Say
I have turned off
the AI features
that were in
the update
and which
you were probably
hoping
to monetize
Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying
OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit
Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here
Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse
Media and universities: AI is here to stay
This piece clearly articulates a lot of thoughts that I've had itching away in the last little while.
So. Ready. For. The. Butlerian. Jihad.
Timaru’s on-demand transport service will soon be fully electric with the introduction of ten new electric vehicles, including six vehicles which are the first of their kind in New Zealand.
If Luxon really is the CEO, we should be getting a Town Hall every couple of weeks and an All hands once a month with the ability for anyone to ask a question on Slido
Italy. The Spurs of international football.
Yes. That feels like us.
Cheers. We thought we were free and clear and theb we spotted more damage anf it all unravelled. Turns ouy they can still shaft you years later.
Absolutely. Waiting for lawyers and engineers.
But how can one person be so wrong? Cheese cannot be so confined for the love of all that is holy.
Go woke…(get taken over by the counter-reformation)…go broke.
I see what you did there
Dune 1: Go White Boy, Go
Dune 2: Oh
Dune 3: Oh White Boy, No
That, or I have developed rapid onset illiteracy in the last year.
My neighbour told me Kuwaiti air defence keeps eating his F-15s so I asked how many F-15s he had and he told me he just goes and gets another F-15 so I said it sounds like he's just feeding F-15s to Kuwaiti air defence and then his daughter started crying
Raytheon Executive: I know you’re skeptical about buying American again. But hear me out. The MIM-104 Patriot is the only surface to air missile system with a proven track record of success against the US Air Force.
Danish Defense Minister: Continue.
15 years, and still fighting for justice. There’s much about Christchurch to celebrate. But there’s much ongoing trauma that is simply ignored. We should be better than this.
You are a scholar and a gentleman!
*trial ffs
Is there any music worse than hold music? Even “good” music sounds like it’s being blasted at you through a draw of socks. Is this deliberate, forcing a trail by endurance (conspiracy), or just really poor attention to customer experience (cock-up)? Either way those responsible should be punished.
No Ben, you are a dangerous radical. I continue to insist that T20 doesn’t exist.
humans do not host the Muppet Show, Kermit the Frog hosts the Muppet Show! there i said it, i got it off my chest
Typically it’s the curse of Apollo that’s the giveaway.
Text: Fear and Loathing: Closer to th... is with The Smitten Kit... and 3 others. • Following 1d • S The revolution did not arrive with speeches, pamphlets, or a carefully moderated Zoom call about optics. It arrived in a cardboard box full of clearance-bin dildos, under purple neon light. We were standing inside Smitten Kitten like lunatics planning the world's dumbest coup. The place glowed like a queer cathedral built by horny anarchists. Purple light everywhere. Shelves of lubricated possibility. Staff who had absolutely seen some shit in their lives, but not this specific flavor of organized insanity. We explained, that we were bulk-buying dozens of dildos because we intended to psychologically dismantle a federal law enforcement agency at a hotel protest.
Text: Nobody flinched. Nobody laughed nervously. Nobody asked, "Are you okay?" They just nodded like hardened revolutionaries and said, "Okay, how many?" Arianne started sorting through colors like a warlord assembling a Pride parade for ANTIFA. Neon pink. Mint green. Electric blue. Flesh-toned beige that screamed "HR violation." Short kings. Long gods. Curved menaces. Blunt-force disrespect dicks. Matt Wagner examined girth ratios like he was calibrating a NASA payload. Chance Meeting filmed everything like an embedded journalist in the Dumbest War of All Time. I stood there realizing we had crossed a sacred threshold into a better version of America that cable news will never be emotionally equipped to understand.
Text: Then Arianne turned to the camera, radiant and feral, and said the words that permanently altered the course of protest history: "I'm going to hand out big dicks to little-dick ICE agents." The Geneva Convention disintegrated. The Founding Fathers wept. Somewhere, a federal HR manager clutched their chest and whispered, "No. Not like this." We walked out of Smitten Kitten carrying a box of dildos like it was radioactive plutonium wrapped in hope. The neon sign behind us glowed like it had just joined the rebellion. Arianne cradled that box like a newborn baby destined to grow up and ruin someone's career. Chance kept filming. Matt looked like a proud dad. I felt like l had accidentally joined a cult that only worshipped humiliation.
Text: Then we did something truly unhinged. We went to dinner. Because even revolutionaries have blood sugar needs. Two doors down sits Beckett's, warm and civilized and filled with the scent of real food instead of revolution and silicone. We sat like normal human beings, ordered meals like responsible adults, and plopped our box of dildos on the table like it was a deeply obscene centerpiece. Hot food. Soft lighting. A cardboard box full of rubberized middle fingers. The contrast was so beautiful it should have been framed. Arianne was smiling—not a polite smile, not a tired smile, but the full-throttle, eyes-crinkling, I am about to ruin someone's whole week smile.
Hey #Resisters!
This is probably the most beautiful and hilarious protest story you’ll find.
Is there violence? Yes.
But this is protesting with “Tactical Frivolity”, which has become the key phrase for #ICE protests, inspired by #Portland
This story happened in #Minneapolis

CHARLES RAFFERTY The Problem with Early Warnings People don't like to leave a party unless the house is actually on fire. Even then, if the flames are far enough away to be pretty, they'll finish their drink, take one more pass at the hors d'oeuvres. How things happen has always been unclear. Hurricanes begin in a place where no one lives. Agents of the government start to wear masks. Fascism is a word my neighbors won't use yet. They are following the law, they say, and the sirens are coming for someone else.
This hit so fucking hard today.
