Meta started picking up the slack on its video algorithm in the wake of tiktok's sharp decline & did some algorithm updates on threads around the same time. Something so dark & nefarious about an endless scroll. Getting info here is way more efficient but the users are more annoying LMFAO (the band)
being concerned about the sugar content in raw fruit is coworker behavior
thinking redacted thought's
Personally, I think it's important that children be taught about all the early Saddle Creek bands. Not just Cursive, but Bright Eyes, The Faint, Rilo Kiley, and even The Good Life. Hear hear!
Dylan M. Taylor, a Senior DevOps Engineer at Credit Genie, pushed age verification PRs to systemd, Ubuntu, & Arch.
He collaborated with two Microsoft employees to merge it. Lennart Poettering then personally blocked the revert & allowed the PR through.
The surveillance state runs on unpaid simps.
singing "i hope you die" to the tune of "i hope you dance"
there are two kinds of corporate tech workers rn: the first, ashen-faced & suffering under a c-suite with ai psychosis, trying to find a way to work around the broken tools they're forced to use. the other is sexting with the in-house chatbot, writing an erotic novel with their robot bf on the clock
Photo of a cuneiform tablet fragment shaped a bit like an irregular diamond. It preserves nearly 20 incomplete lines of text separated by a horizontal ruling
There's a broken cuneiform tablet from the Old Babylonian period, nearly 4,000 years ago, which preserves a tiny portion of a dialogue between two friends.
It feels a bit like the conversations I've been having for the past week, so I wanted to share it.
fully fucking psychotic. this has happened to me a few times but never this much money, i'm so angry for you
the rational response to learning of Epstein's 24/7 access to white-glove treatment from some of the world's best surgeons and medical practitioners is to conclude that privatized health care is a moral, ethical, and medical catastrophe. it's reasonable to call for the whole system to be rethought
i genuinely think it's because he was dating a latina before this most recent move & downward spiral. post mia goth, the woman actually posted a bunch of videos about how abusive he was to her kinda recently. she recorded him in one video & he's talking like that to her. very weird shit
ah sorry i missed your text! i was standing behind shia labeouf in his bathroom mirror in the dark with red glowing eyes & then disappearing when he turned around in a panic ❤️
Oof. I just read your post in the most uncharitable, pedantic way possible, and I gotta tell ya: it's not looking good for you.
whenever I explain to people the USA politics makes perfect sense if you know the people running the show are evangelical death cultists that want the Rapture to happen by triggering it in Israel i sound like a conspiracy theorist or I'm telling them the plot to a movie. But it's what is happening.
going tomorrow and i can't wait omg!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Fleming special announced, Sandra Bernhard on White Lotus announced, new Muna song, Doechii is a lesbian….what a day for the queers and homos
lol donald trump invaded venezuela and captured maduro all so that they’d stop sending oil to cuba and start sending it to israel jesus christ man its just too ridiculous
this was way more prevalent when i was still on tiktok but it feels like people are getting really weird about alcohol, coffee, anything that might make you happy--even in innocuous amounts! feels like we're re-engineering puritanism as a method of maintaining control (over ourselves, each other)
When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is supporting The Heritage Foundation's tech policy agenda, boosting a proposed law by Lindsey Graham that would mass deplatform LGBTQ people and censor abortion content from the internet. And he's trying to frame it as progressive!
hate that they just started beta testing products/technology that DOES NOT WORK YET on the public. it's genuinely so insane to me that we just have waymos ON THE ROADS. they are NOT READY YET! LLMs can't do ANYTHING GOOD yet. the public should not even have access, but it's forced on us like rats
those were the days
While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot.
I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.
if you or someone you know has a costco card, they have some of the best mattresses that are also some of the more affordable ones
This is how Tom Homan reacts to losing a court case to free a medically fragile 5-year-old who was used as bait to lure his dad so they could be imprisoned in a measles factory. Fuck any de-escalation stories that come out.
Why is Peter Thiel so pink and wet. Constantly looks like he shed his skin for worse skin.
chiefs should win, super bowl . lets invent new disease like cold but worse. cancel, game of thrones. can we make kids, snort cinnamon on tiktok. lady ga ga meat dress
we said all along that they wanted Gawker dead not because we embarrassed a pro wrestler but because the Epstein story is one Gawker was covering a decade before most other people caught up & was just one of many stories exposing powerful people and their misdeeds
