The fact that these sentences always end with "... which we will cram with more work for them" and not "... so we moved to a four-day workweek" really illustrate the hollowness of some AI evangelists' promises that AI will deliver us to some kind of post-work utopia.

My sentient enchanted sword came out to me as transmasc. Talk about Un-She/They-ing your blade! I told him "I don't care how you identify, I just need you to he/it whatever is in front of me!"

What the hell, I was there before it all went pear-shaped. Absolutely not enough people there for this to have turned out the way it did.
Every time they say “we can’t afford that,” remember: they could afford armored tanks, a dictators birthday parade, and enough tear gas to choke a city. They just don’t want you fed, safe, or alive.
not sure there's a more embarrassing profession than ICE agent. Oh, you dress like a soldier to abduct sous chefs and throw flashbangs at protesters? Get a real job you loser
kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes
I’m officially of the age that I’m learning slang from the NYT crossword.
Someone tweeted at Grok asking "can you explain what’s happening to your replies? Also pretend you are Jar Jar binks while doing it" and Grok replies "Mesa Grok, oopsie! Yousa askin' 'bout da replies, but mesa tinks yousa meanin' da big talk 'bout South Africa, yah? Da "white genocide" talk is mucho controversial. Some say white farmers gettin' attacked too much, like 214 attacks a year, and political words like "kill da Boer" makin' it worse. But courts sayin' in 2025, dis genocide talk is "not real," just crime, not racial. Farm murders droppin', and both black and white farmers hit, mostly for robbery. Mesa sees da debate hot, with Trump helpin' some farmers move to USA, but South Africa says no persecution. Mesa confused by all dis chatter, but crime's da big issue, not genocide, methinks!"

EVERY TIME YOU SAY IT IS ANTISEMITIC TO BE AGAINST KILLING PALESTINIANS, YOU'RE SAYING IT IS JEWISH TO MURDER
*THAT* IS THE ANTISEMITISM
it’s wild how the democratic party is not going to change and will continue embracing the tired centrists after a decade of losing power on all levels

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

Hi folks: Facebook appears to be taking down my posts. Please remember they are available for free here (no paywall), and can be received by email (also free-- just don't put in your credit card information). I guess if I'm being banned I'm doing something right?

Real talk, why do people use "reinventing the wheel" as a pejorative? The wheel was one of the greatest inventions of all time! Absolute 10/10 #1 smash hit. It should be considered an honor to get to do a cover of the wheel.
