The internet wasn't a mistake.
It saved lives. It's allowed community. It's one of the best advancements in modern history for information.
The mistake was normalizing rampant cruelty and dunk culture and protecting predators and harassers over victims.
oh. i genuinely didn't even notice dot social got ddos’ed. didn’t affect my instance
women are just great y’know? growing up my family worried i might be gay but nobody worried i might just really love women
A sketchy comic. Emma wears a ball cap that reads “LESBIAN.” She says, “honestly, it doesn’t always fit the best, but it has SO MUCH sentimental value…” She scowls, her teeth and fingers looking sharper than before, “and I will BITE anyone who tries to take it off me.”
a quick comic about “lesbian”
if you squint he’s kinda rooting for you eh
he aged into the donkey on shrek, but eddie murphy was also super homophobic in his material in the 80s.
transitioning is the ultimate pushing through cringe. you must kill the cop in your heart that prevents you from loving yourself and from loving others
On April 4, TPS entered the lobby of Comedy Bar moments before the start of a fundraising event for Gaza.
That same night, cops entered a theatre at TIFF Lightbox midway through a screening of 'Palestine 36.'
I dug into this concerning trend for @thegrindto.bsky.social.
“zirp is over” they said
it makes me so FURIOUS that within a year we went from taxing carbon to subsidizing it.
AND YOU CANCELED A PUBLIC TRANSIT FUND!!!!
i found myself crying over this news last week, thinking about my children
wasn’t this a Rob Ford era decision that never got reinstated by Doug? it’s all conservatives all the way down
they are empty husks, and they think the only way to fill the void within is to subjugate everyone. from their perspective we live in intolerable freedom
this is art i kinda love it. they could have slopped the whole image but no someone typed in the responses to the template verbatim
Comic. I’m at my desk, leaning over to the doorway, saying “Hey! Foghorn! Foghorn Leghorn! Get in here!” Foghorn Leghorn is walking past the doorway, “Boy, I tell ya, I tell ya, not so loud, boy. What, I say, I say, what d’ya want?” Next panel, I’m gesturing to my computer. “How do I find that really good manga you recommended? It’s an anime now? I keep getting Halloween costumes.” Foghorn leans over my chair, “well, boy, I say, I say, you ain’t typin the entire title.” Last panel, I turn around- “you said ‘witch hat.’ Foghorn gets in my face- “open your ears, boy!! ‘Witch Hat Atelier, I tell ya! I tell ya ‘Atelier,’ I tell ya’”
How I’ve Been Pronouncing It (Feat. Foghorn Leghorn, my… roommate?)
being queer doesn’t mean you’re a *good* person but
it does make you a better person than you would have been otherwise;
and this is now a core belief of mine
Michael crichton was 6'9" when he wrote Jurassic park. Imagine the dinosaur adventure Robert Wadlow could have wrote. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (6'1"): The Lost World (1912) Michael crichton (6'9"): Jurassic park Robert Wadlow (8'11"): ???????????
digital art. a very angry cat in an offensive stance
ditto college and dovercourt; as i biked past The Common on college and i am still mad they’ve converted into a take out only spot
i am honestly shocked people know so much 40k lore. every time i read the wiki page im like “this is too dumb to live”
When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.
pope tweets good
in my heart i’ve come to believe that the blithe disregard we have towards users when we change UIs wily nily is also a form of anti-humanism okayfail.com/garden/uis-s...
he said the right things on housing and urbanism and floated by on being a millennial. now he’s not even saying the things on housing
my read of this thread is “it’s wrong to say that (normal) people hate LLMs or that anyone has had LLMs forced on them because LLMs are popular and useful (in some contexts)”
and those don’t seem like contradictions to me. i think llms can be useful but also hate how they’ve been forced on us
it’s an easier decision when the guy wants to put you personally in a concentration camp
when i approach interactions with other people i try to understand their perspective, and appreciate their lived experience. they can be wrong about LLMs being useless as a class while being right that they are being forced to use them and having a bad time
this choice feels like form of epistemic weakness
it’s hard for me to read this as something other than “sure every corporate is bundling a half broken featured labeled AI but that’s not actually the good AI so we can ignore that”
i mean google labels it as “AI overview”? so why wouldn’t they blame it
copilot cli = oh cool this is finally a game changer, a year ago i was *being forced to use it* but now it is good
literally every other sparkle emoji menu i’ve encountered: fuck, i hate this
