This is a techbro ā€œif you don’t want to be harassed, just work somewhere elseā€

Additionally, conflating data centers and AI (implying that all DCs are LLM farms) is a dishonest framing meant to ridicule those who disagree and it’s disappointing to see.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you absolutely can yell ā€˜parkour!’ when hopping over a curb or ducking under a railing in public. There’s no law against it, it’s allowed, I’ve tested it.

ā€œ(…) phenomenal,ā€ says the customer on the conference call.

ā€œDoo dooo do dodo,ā€ I sing in response like a Muppet automatically.

Adrenaline spiking, I verify I’m muted…. I am. This time.

It will happen again, I know it will.

Hopefully the same will be true for the mute status.

Voting for the Mayor Who Promised to Blow Up the City Doesn’t Mean I Approve of the Mayor Blowing Up the City It’s so easy to label people these days. From the way folks have been talking, you’d think everyone falls into two buckets: those who voted against...

My 2020 sign (top), like me, has been getting a little ragged around the edges lately.

Girl, same.

Made a replacement in my shop, hope we both last long enough to see these values return to places where weak, bullying people have banished them.

Shut down my Twitter space bots and the folks still over there are dropping all kinds of wild slurs at me in their quote-tweets.

235,000 people have seen my @bocaroad quit notice so far which is wild, I’ll never have that big of an audience again. Ugh.

But staying would be way worse.

Fuck Nazis.

> but I can't blame anyone who couldn't.

Considering the outcome, I personally feel comfortable holding this group accountable. The president of the most powerful country in the world wants to completely 'clean out' disputed areas and it's important to recognize just how much worse this is.

When I honk at someone in traffic who just did something aggressively stupid (as in unlikely to be a mistake) it’s not because I think they will care what I, a stranger, thinks.

I do it because if they have a passenger, it might embarrass them in front of someone whose opinion they care about.

Hardware clerk: ā€œWould you like a bag for this little stuff for five centsā€

Me: ā€œNo need, I have cargo shorts.ā€

Hardware clerk: [no expression but obviously impressed, their poker face is incredible though]

Me: [proudly waddles out the door, clanking]

My wife is gonna feel SO silly for doubting.

Just passed what I thought was a mime gardening before realizing it was just someone wearing a horizontal black & white striped shirt.

Have they done to fashion what Kaiser Wilhelm did to comically twirly mustaches? (certainly the worst thing a German or Austrian has done to mustache fashion)

AI ain't bad at anatomy when it creates these grim 'art' horrors, it's telling us directly what horrors await us post-singularity when it has the reins.

You can tell a lot about a person from whether they seem to hear an un-written 'Black Lives Matter š‘”š‘œš‘œ' or 'š‘œš‘›š‘™š‘¦ Black Lives Matter'.

Bigots project their own weakness of character and assume everyone else thinks the way they do.
