yeah, I was gonna say you could also go to an urgent care and they can refer you to the ER if they deem it serious enough.

go!!!! go go!!!!! better to go and find out it's just a tummy ache than to not go and end up having someone else call 911 over your unconscious body

finally memorized my library card number. took me long enough

BREAKING: @aoc.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov are introducing a ban on AI data centers and other hyperscale data centers.

The ban would remain until Congress passes new AI legislation.

That legislation must ensure AI is safe, benefits workers, and doesn't raise electricity prices.

Cool new T-Shirt design that says GenAI is for Losers ✨like that old Virginia is for Lovers design.

Virginia may be for lovers ❤️, but GenAI is for losers ✨. New shirt up for pre-order! Every pre-order gets a free sticker too! topatoco.com/collections/...

i LOVE Eclipsium so much. it does so many cool things with such limited tools

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

a digital collage with a pink, purple, green, yellow, and teal gradient overlaid on all the images. the images include a horse carrying a bucket, a cluster of mushrooms, a grub, a birds talon, a cicada, five spiders, two flower buds, a hand with an eye over the back of it, and a microscope slide of atoms. there is white text that reads "get weirder or die miserable." the background is black and there is a slightly grainy texture

get weirder 🫵

i keep seeing writers who want both:
* to be bold iconoclasts going against the pretenses and trends of the day and
* to have a perfect 5.0 review score on goodreads

and like, I'm sorry. those things don't go together.

I guess I'm thankful that we've come far enough that it's treatable and people can recover, but man fuck Reagan for making that so much worse.

been watching a medical drama from the 90s and something that really stands out to me is how front-and-center the AIDS crisis is. Modern ones, they give people PreP and tell the partners to get tested and it's done, but in this, every other episode there's an AIDS complication

"But I hate ICE and support trans rights and etc etc" if you aid in the suppression of art, you are a fascist. One of the textbook markers of a fascist state is the suppression of art it deems "degenerate". If you have one empathetic cell left in your brain, you'll start digging into the history

the thing about moral panics is they aren't about moral panics. it's about community control and rampant bigotry. censorship is a tool of fascists, those who purity police are fascists, and if your disgust agrees with their mission more than the right for fiction to gross you out, you are a fascist

someone in the office has some amazing smelling curry and didnt bring enough to share >:(

You, an individual, cannot "fix" the whole world. You can act at the scale of your life. You should act at the scale of your life.

command line interface is theatre of the mind for computers change my mind

No no no I see the vision, keep talking

I've been saying this for years but Tower of God had a chatgpt arc like ten years ago and I'm not even kidding. And it was exactly this.

last year, the first book I finished was in May. I've read 11 books already this year.
Also this year, I did not get covid in january, and nor did a pet die in january. So maybe there's some correlated causation in there somewhere.

well, king arthur's never steered me wrong before. Maybe I'll have to try making some this weekend.....

Sometimes I get a little upset when I live in a collapsing dystopia for many years

“Earth is a pleasure cruise for 1000 people and we're all just the staff.”

Those bagels look amazing! I've always been too intimidated to try making them myself

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick
