Imagine if it happened today. None would believe it. He could do the funniest thing.

Boromir from THE LORD OF THE RINGS, holding The One Ring. He thought he could use it for good, but everything done with the ring turns to evil. He was one of the mightiest warriors of middle earth, and he could not resist its powers. Others even mightier fell to the ring. Do you think you are stronger than them? The One Ring is generative AI.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.

GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.

But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

You would get so many more amazing books if you had Universal Basic Income. Not even the most dream-scenario AI could compete with the creativity of a world of authors no longer afraid of affording rent.

I'm not a Finnish citizen yet so if you are please support this initiative!

Assassin's Creed: Wild West

I am gradually realizing that this is a character type I really like 😳

I'm currently watching the k drama Vincenzo and you know what, you could make a case for the title character...

If we are including children's literature, there's arguments to be made for Artemis Fowl and Anthony Lockwood.

He's not a fop but I'd suggest Roy Mustang. Terrifying war criminal, effective rebellion leader, likely to set fire to important paperwork rather than complete it.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license.

They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

Five women authors by whom I've read at least five books:
-T. Kingfisher
-Ann Leckie
- N.K. Jemisin
-Martha Wells
-Susan Cooper

In Finland Valentine's Day is celebrated as a day of friendship. Happy Friend's Day, everyone!

Blueskyese and Xian share an obvious common root as both being Twitteric languages, the difference is that after the split Xian became a hybrid Twitteric/Channer-linkedin tongue, while Blueskyese changed less overall but did pick up some tumbleric and redditor loanwords

They're petty and spiteful and vindictive and cruel....the fascists!

I'm scheduled for a very important medical appointment on Monday morning, so please send good thoughts etc. Pals can DM me but otherwise it won't be public.

Loot that drops after defeating me:
-library card (already registered with your info!)
-a sprinkling of Lego
-two pencils and a small notebook, blank
-an open bag of sour gummy candy
-a health potion, just kidding it's paracetamol with a side of antacids, antihistamines, and lactase tablets

My Daughter Lived the Liam Ramos Nightmare. It Turned Out Worse for Us. The constant threats took a toll on my health. My daughter’s health deteriorated even faster.

Kelly Vargas writes about what happened to her, her husband, and their 6yo daughter in the family camp in Texas.

Filth, illness, medical abuse—her child has lasting complications from being injured by a staff member.

We don't know the half of what's happening in the camps, but we know enough.

I just got off the phone with Elizabeth's dad...she and her mom were freed tonight! Updated story: sahanjournal.com/education/co...

I thought I was going crazy until I found people online who isolated the sound and identified it as probably a finger slipping along a guitar string, and then the riff was looped so that sound came in at regular intervals for the whole song.
HATEEEEEEE

Counting Stars by OneRepublic has this high pitched squeak that repeats regularly throughout the track. In 2014, I was driving long distances daily in a pickup truck with only radio. I HATE that song and that goddamn squeak.

We know that 4more children from Liam's school are still in ICE custody in TX. But we still do not know how many children from MN in total have been detained by ICE.

The photo of Liam's abduction made me tear up every time I saw it. And then seeing him so sick in confinement was heartbreaking. Blessings on everyone who worked to bring him and his dad home. Keep fighting until every abducted child, youth, and adult is free.

One more reason my soul shrivels up every time I hear someone say "I just used chatgpt to ____"

One thing about the Lutherans with they put that teva laden foot down… they put it DOWN!!!

A dorm with a sign saying They can’t kill us all

George Washington University, 1970 student protest against the shootings at Kent State and Jackson State.

Hear, hear!

The CCW season 1 finale rematch! Choi Kang-rok begging to be thrown off the show! The Anti-Good Vibes Alliance! The mere existence of Webtoon Artist Kim Poong!!

If you're a human who enjoyed Culinary Class Wars Seasons 1 and 2 and you haven't watched Chef & My Fridge (the 2025 season), you are missing half of CCW. Like okay yeah, you saw the serious cooking. But don't you want the lore???

I majored in anthropology specifically so I could fuck around and read ethnographies.
