Imagine an author wanting to put their own views into the mouth of a character and picking Fred Colon to do it.

Caitlin Jenner is no longer The Worst Trans Person.

why are ai folks so bent about me hating it. fine, i'll fall behind! let me!!! fuck off!!!!

with the lights out
it’s less dangerous
from the icebox
plums cry “save us”
“we’re for breakfast”
“please don’t take us”
but we ate them
we feel heinous
they were tasty
please don’t blame us

One of the collector boosters I picked up at the prerelease had an etched foil Japanese Armageddon in it. It's so fucking pretty.

Yeah, I’ve never quite got over the profound moral injury aspect of watching so many Americans absolutely refuse to even mildly sacrifice to help others during Covid - watching MAGAs somehow become even more evil was radicalizing.

And now the bastards are trying to destroy MRNA research.

This Is Just To Say

I have turned off
the AI features
that were in
the update

and which
you were probably
hoping
to monetize

Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'

As a Seahawks fan, I love this for them.

I genuinely think it’s because it makes them feel smart, like they “programmed an AI” or whatever. It’s loathsome!

I'm pretty sure the '97 playoff run restructured my brain. I was 13 and I'd been aware of hockey previously but that's the thing that made me a Fan.

I follow the Kraken more than the Wings these days but Yzerman and Lidstrom and the Russian Five are why I give a damn about the sport at all.

seven months on beehiiv, by the numbers was leaving substack worth it?

There's a lot of talk about leaving Substack & whether it will be the death-knell of your newsletter. I have been on Beehiiv for 7 months now & @tlpavlich.gay helped me run some numbers. So, was leaving Substack worth it? The answer, for me, has been a resounding "yes."

Here are the hard numbers:

The world wouldn’t have gotten “Phoebe and Her Unicorn” if I hadn’t been able to transition into living as myself. I simply could never have made it.

I always tell people, if you just let us be ourselves, you’ll see a lot more unicorns.

“Because they were completely clear-eyed about the stakes.”

YOU PEOPLE THINK MAYBE WE COULD TRY THAT HERE?

lol I will literally never knowingly give Target a dime again.

there is little more powerful than the look of parent solidarity that says, I’ve been there, let me help you or at least offer some sympathy

And the world is not changing that fast.

The civil rights movement was 60 years ago. We’ve had gay marriage nationally for over a decade. It seems like we’ve been “debating” trans rights for about 700 years.

It’s not that they need time. It’s that we need to fucking drag them kicking and screaming

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

"They said they wouldn't pay me and would use AI instead if I didn't give them a lower price"

They're bluffing. They already tried AI and it didn't work so they're contacting you.

No one goes "I'll pay you or do the free one" they just do the free one, see that it's crap, and do the paid one.

If this actually happens, it may rank as the single most corrupt act in the history of American politics. I cannot believe this is even under discussion.

Fix your hearts or die.

The final release received negative reviews and is often cited as one of the worst video games of all time, as well as one of the biggest commercial failures in video game history. It is cited as a major contributing factor to the video game crash of 1983, and has been frequently referenced and mocked in popular culture as a cautionary tale about the dangers of rushed game development and studio interference.

That game is legendarily bad. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.T._th...

Are you turning your gender into some kind of arcane sigil?

Badass.

“Oh we actually invented a AI model so cool and powerful that we can’t show it to you, but it’s really real and it loves me a lot, you just have to trust me and keep giving me investment capital, ok thaaaanks”

they think we’re as stupid as they are

the basic theory of DOGE was that if powerful people said it was fine it didn’t matter what the law said.

I think proving that theory wrong is worth significant effort

We need to keep lists of places that are ChatGPTing all help agents because I never want to buy anything from them again

I don't know which of you is posting what because I'm often reading on a delay of a day or two, so to be honest I'm mostly just letting it wash over me.

Ban this shit from your life.

Seriously. Boycott. And keep away from your kids.

It's getting harder to find the first edition copies of this book (with the enclosed Command Tower): well, here's a way to get one, and even get it signed if you desire!
