I do not want to be on guard when I read manuscripts. I do not want to be on guard when I read slush. I do not want to be on guard when I listen to music, when I look at visual art, when I WATCH A FUCKING COMMERCIAL. I hate Altman so much I burn with it. He and his kind have stolen the WONDER.
fuck sam altman forever for taking away the last places where we could engage in good faith: the creative arts, which should be a testament to human ingenuity. i am so mad that everything i read or listen to or admire is now tainted with doubt. do you understand? he is a thief of joy and i HATE HIM
Congrats!
Holy shit am I in good company. 🥹💫
I sure hope so, fortune cookie
If you are able to help support our site migration that would be amazing! I am very bad at asking for help but right now, @butwhytho.net needs it.
We have to get set up on a new host, work with a dev, and our old host still has not refunded us the $3k they took.
Anything helps!
He keeps asking if they've got any grapes.

If you can raise my rent 53%, you can afford to keep paying building staff’s health insurance. You fucks.
Ugggh...
Also, what article is this from?
Twin Metals was an American company, but Antofagasta took control in 2015. Antofagasta is one of the world’s largest copper mining companies and the billionaire Luksic family has 60% ownership of it.
This is @glutelord.bsky.social and he's completely fucking correct. The fundamental tension at the heart of all incel culture is that these guys HATE women and refuse to appeal to them but desperately want to get laid anyway, and this contradiction can only really be resolved through violence
There is a certain, defined point of wealth at which due to compound interest it becomes basically mathematically impossible to actually lose money.
Mackenzie Scott is proof that this amount of wealth is far below $38 billion.
Elon is worth $811 billion, 21x more. Bezos, $257 billion, ~7x more
"The Pope is incorrect on matters of theology" is excommunication time.

From when the bill was introduced:
“This is not a fair market,” Moore said. “This is a stacked deck. This is about profit … Profit that’s extracted from people who are seeing their bills increase and who are struggling to afford basic goods.”

BREAKING: Maryland is about to become the first state in the nation to ban the use of surveillance data and dynamic pricing at grocery stores.
The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act.
Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.
Imagine a study that found kids with ADHD have more visits to doctors than kids without ADHD — and used that finding to suggest ADHD treatment doesn't work. That's the standard of evidence the anti-trans braintrust is willing to accept.
i firmly believe that kennedy wants preventable diseases to rip through american communities since, in his warped mind, those who survive without vaccines will have proven themselves “healthy.”

The $111B Paramount-WBD merger is hitting a massive wall, and the timing couldn't be worse for them. Between DOJ chaos and executive scandals, this "done deal" is looking more like a disaster waiting to happen. 🧵 1/5 #StopTheMerger #Paramount #WBD #Antitrust
This is Capitu. She has always wanted to be in a band. Had no idea joining one would be this easy. 13/10 (TT: capitucao)
THREAD: The Massachusetts House just advanced a draconian and unconstitutional social media ban bill.
"This legislation would have kicked Greta Thuneberg off social media before she organized her first climate protest. How does that make kids safer?"

Boston Globe mock front page from April 9, 2016. Date says April 9, 2017, with giant headline “DEPORTATIONS TO BEGIN” and “Markets sink as trade war looms.”
Ten years ago today, in April 2016, the Boston Globe printed a satirical front page imagining a future Trump administration. The page was called "alarmist," "hyperbolic," "dystopian." But we’ve put up with so much since then it now looks like . . . a slow Thursday?
Which brings me to point three: There is a very simple and very clear way to improve safety on the road, which is to reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled or VMT. If you took all the money being spent on self-driving, and spent it on buses and road design, you'd see immediate benefits.
I got in an argument about self-driving cars and I might as well lay out my thoughts since I'm bored. Essentially it's
- Few people actually want them.
- They won't solve any problems.
- They're an attempt to solve a problem where we already have a simpler and cheaper solution.
*sigh*
If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it.
If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it.
If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you.
I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.
There is no reason to the virulent transphobia which is being "normalised" in the UK and elsewhere. Hateful, pathetic, individuals who claim their obsessive "gender critical" ideology is "protecting children", by denying children accessibility and causing harm.
