Two members of the sad old white man brigade were trying to hand out stuff at my polling place. Bloody typical. 🙄

That's kind of the point, tbh.

love bluesky because the replies to this post immediately descend into people fighting about whether the minions would have worked for stalin

Hey Virginia

Get up and go VOTE YES today

People using AI like it's some new miracle machine and a lot of it is just internet 1.0 but with more enviromental damage and stupider.

“I used AI to combine the data from two excel lists and then send emails to people who were on one list but not another. Saved me so much time.”

My brother in academia, you just fucking discovered mail merge. Welcome to early nineties computing.

All I’m saying is if I was going to write a book about a boy who never grew up, I wouldn’t have called him Peter Pan. I would’ve named him Constanteen.

i respect season 2 of the pitt for saying "ignoring your depression & trauma doesn't make you the sympathetic hero, it makes you a problem in the fucking workplace"

The ongoing promo for Hatosy's Quinn appearance is going to kill me. I'm over here giggling and having kicky feet over it all. I only wish it was a format that I actually *liked* - direct to listener stories are a major ick for me, and the secondhand embarrassment overall is real. 😆

VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means?

ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]

That would require research on primarily women, and we all know that's not allowed so...🤷‍♀️ Hope it passes soon - migraines are the WORST.

Yeah... He is also a bit of a menace, is finding out his 50s are gonna be when everyone falls for him, and engages with fandom. Between him and Con, I'm pretty sure I just have a type. 🤣

Shawn Hatosy, my current hyperfixation. He's on The Pitt, playing my fictional husband, Jack Abbott. He's been on loads of other things, too. His arms and neck are A Problem. In that i can't lay teeth on them and shake him like a rag doll.

A man with muscular, veiny arms stands behind a table with vegetables on it. He is wearing a white fitted tshirt and a brown apron. His head is not in the pic, to focus on the truly stunning arms.

On another subject entirely, the ladies at Quinn have their finger on the pulse of fandom. Bless Hatosy's equally smokeshow of a wife for letting him do this. I don't think I can actually listen when it comes out, but the pics for the ads are 🔥

A woman in a grey tank top, with a cardinal tattoo on her biceps and shoulder, displays sunburnt skin.

This is truly dumb. I was under cover the 4-ish hours I was outside. We walked around for like 15 minutes after 4pm. The sun is apparently now my enemy.

Early season PSA for the northern hemisphere folks - don't forget your psych meds likely increase your photosensitivity! Recent meds changes mean I'm now taking four different things that cause photosensitivity. A few hrs under an outdoor umbrella today has left me with sunburnt shoulders. 🙄

A curse upon the designers who made capri length cargo pants for women, but decided to NOT give the pants back fucking pockets. I wanted all the pockets! Not just some of the pockets!

I realize I'm several hours late to this, but Hatosy is doing a Quinn audio? What?

Here's hoping she's as diligent with the lantern flies when they show up...

A five-lined skins, sitting on a stone patio, in the sunlight. You can clearly see it's stripes and bright blue tail.

My dog swatted a bee out of the air, pawed it to death, and then ate it in front of me. Meanwhile, this little skink dude is just chillin' across the patio. My dog REALLY has it in for flying creatures. 💀

Izzy sliced him up with his sword, didn't he?

Both. And they're smothering Izzy.

What I Saw Inside the Kennedy Center I spent 10 months working at the institution because I thought I could help protect it. What I observed there is far worse than the public knows.

Heartbreaking description of the pointless, thoughtless damage being done to the Kennedy Center. It was such an important part of life in Washington, and is now being destroyed for no reason

And then proceeded to do exactly none of them

Coworker is trying to convince me that 80*F is the perfect pool temp. Who hurt her?? I want a pool, not a bath! Although right now I'd probably take it if it were available, since it's above 90*F right now and none of the local pools are even open yet. 😒

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

Yeah, I think one of the most incredible things about the pope-off is that when previous popes have done similar things, it had to go through a translation barrier, but no nuance and no shade is lost when the American pope is being bitchy [complimentary]

not sure any website is going to be able to withstand the internet joy when It Happens but this one is definitely not
