Does anybody remember when teen pregnancy was a huge boogeyman of the right? They had all these purity dances and whatnot?

Pepperidge Farms remembers.

I’m sorry but the rest of your life is going to be spent finding out about some new weird annoying guy, and then finding out he died

Seeing the real-time corruption of the word "larp" to be a synonym for "poser" has got to be one of the most annoying things of all time.

Was "tourist" not enough, you needed another word to coat your slimy tendrils with

would like to have a wee little word with all the people who said everyone was overreacting to the california OS age signal legislation

a fun thing about social media is watching gifted wordsmiths come up with new and vivid ways to vaguely suggest unactionable violent ideation while thousands of people all wish for the same man to die

AI Use Appears to Have a "Boiling Frog" Effect on Human Cognition, New Study Warns A new study claims to offer the first causal link between AI dependency and cognitive erosion. Researchers warn of long-term implications.

NEW: A new pre-print study offers the first causal evidence that outsourcing reasoning tasks to AI can rapidly erode users' independent performance AND their will to persist despite difficulty.

I refuse to be at the mercy of people who don't love anything and don't know shit!!!!!!!

I believe in a future where our lives aren't dictated by the whims of clueless, misanthropic rich people. That future is contingent on worker power. We labor to build a better world, we labor for those who can't, we labor because it gives us purpose.

Well, today it happened.

We've finally reached OLD.

I looked at 200+ artist portfolios. Here's what I learned I went through a ton of artist portfolios, and I saw what a lot of them have to offer. Here's what I took away (and what I'll use!)

In working on the no gen AI directory, I've looked at a LOT of artist portfolios. Like, 350+ of them at this point. And I thought I'd compile what I was seeing done right, what surprised me (positively), and then what I was commonly seeing done wrong. Use this to tweak your own portfolio!

Despicable fucking government.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: scene from the movie Aliens; Ripley is in a mech suit and delivers her iconic line: “get away from her, you bitch!” Panel 2: the xenomorph queen lunges at Ripley in the robotic suit and they engage in a fight. Panel 3: later, the xenomorph queen is standing in the shower, mid wash. She says, “‘it takes one to know one, honey.’ That’s what I should have said.”

As wealth concentrates, so does power — the power to influence elections, shape policy, tilt markets and define the terms of public debate.

Taxing billionaires is not radical.

What is radical is allowing a system where extreme wealth exists alongside widespread hardship.

So, I don't miss Target and I don't miss Starbucks already, but they've really unveiled some stuff that makes me not want to go back at all...

For people who don't NYC is a tidal estuary. It has currents. The "safe to eat" designation is both because *decades* of cleanup has reduced PCB levels and because the fish they've selected are migratory.
