Keeping this in mind for every copy of Go Ask Alice I see at LFLs.

Ai remix feature in privacy settings on TikTok turned on
I am so upset right now, TikTok quietly added a feature which turns on an AI feature on all the TikTok’s you have already posted to allow Ai to remix and make content of your TikTok’s and I didn’t know, you must go to privacy settings on your TikToks to turn it off yourself, want to warn others 💔
But it's so _funny_ when Weld Country tries to secede.
I am obligated to grouse how unfair it is that we got this, but never a Repairman Jack franchise.

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

If you want to criticize someone for being an evil hypocrite, you can just call them “evil hypocrites”! You don’t need to use an archaic word for rabbinic Jews as a synonym for ‘evil hypocrite’!
If you haven't been listening to @midnightburger.bsky.social yet, OH BOY do I have a fiction podcast for you.
I wrote about AI in schools, mostly to get my head into the space. My kid is in a district where they're not saying "if" but "how." Almost an exact quote. WE SHOULD BE ASKING IF!? Especially since the evidence looks like this is being forced on kids with little evidence and even less thought.
There's nothing gunkata can't fix.
The Calvin's dad explaining records meme. He is explaining that the two kinds of meme are Calvin's dad and Loss. Despite being a meme about Calvin's dad, this one is Loss.
“You gotta learn AI or get left behind!” is a bit galling given that the entire purpose of AI seems to be to steal our work and fuck our brains and shit up the planet, which is to say, its GOAL is to leave us all behind. That, in order to make its owners rich.
the president of the united states is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system
My family's lore is that my dad was making off with the stone marker for the stadium before someone from Cooperstown stopped him. 😂 We've got chairs instead. In a climate controlled environment, pls don't sic the HVAC scammers on us.
Screenshot of a spam email sent at 11:10 a.m. with the subject line “Hey Shibe Park team”. The message reads: Shibe Park team - noticed Connie Mack Stadium hosted countless public events and games. When did the AC last get checked before summer events? A local historical landmark we inspected nearby had filters months overdue, airflow had dropped before summer events. Just want to rule out any airflow issues before the heat hits. What's the best number to call you?
Black and white photo of Connie Mack Stadium in Philadelphia following a 1971 fire that destroyed part of the grandstand. The corner tower with its domed cupola, which had previously been Connie Mack’s office, stands in the center. The stadium was finally torn down in 1976.
Received an incredible spam email today from an HVAC company that wants to provide tuneup service for … Connie Mack Stadium in Philadelphia. Yes, we’ll get right on that. The A’s really have let the place go in the last 50 years.
Should I go to a local McDonalds to protest Trump? It is, of course, an American kitchen.
I have absolutely no memory of a pterodactyl not being a dinosaur until a child informed me this century. 😂
I think we lock in our favourite dinosaurs as children, and for many of us pterodactyls were still dinosaurs then. I will also accept Pluto as a favourite planet.
It's cherry blossom season, which means it's also cherry blossom petals gather in street corners and get blown around by large gusts of wind like the plastic bag in American Beauty. Tiny petal tornadoes.
My bff with CF will be turning 45 this year! The advances they've made in the last 10 years are nothing short of a miracle.
I submitted my first ceramic piece to an art show, and all the strangers who saw it as I was delivering it thought it was really lovely. So I'm gonna make another one.
Attacking the 2nd Avenue Deli, which has been an NYC institution for 70 years, simply for being Jewish, is peak antisemitic transplant behavior.
Thinks the deli controls foreign policy. 🙄
Absolutely diabolical clickbait to get me to relisten to this whole album then argue with you in my head (complimentary). 😂
Screens do not belong in cars
Like. I will make an exception for a GPS thing. That's it.
I want my tactile buttons that let me change my goddamn radio station without taking my eyes off the road.
In theory: Yay! In reality: RIP, SURE tech support team, you all deserve raises and better software. Fingers crossed for that Civix rollout!
you shouldn’t learn about bands from shady TikTok manipulation, you should learn about bands by hanging out with a girl you like but are also extremely afraid of
2025's most incredible musical achievement was Hallelujah the Hills (@ryanhwalsh.bsky.social) somehow finishing a 54 song record. I try to rank them all from 'Less Great' to 'More Great'
AGAIN: You can't have it both ways.
You can't demand Dems NOT accept money from corporate PACs, billionaires, etc on the one hand & then complain about them bugging YOU for $10 at a time.
They have to be funded by SOMEONE, & it takes *100,000* $10 donations to equal a $1M check from Musk or Theil.
I've been getting variations of "if you don't support this completely obvious scam then you support genocide" as a response to calling this out for literal years now.
