AI bots are being fed the equivalent of chickenshit and feathers and red Skittles. How can these hungry hungry hippos sate their hunger for our data?

don't worry guys, the AI is being trained on the DMs i got from my psychopath coworker in 2018 where he was like "i could have sex with any woman in this office if i wanted to, and probably most of the men"

why the New Yorker publishes the brilliant Hanif Abdurraqib and then does not put his name in the social media post about his essay is absolutely beyond me, but anyway, the important thing here is that you should always read Hanif

The quote posts and replies are infuriating horrifying, and heartbreaking. These monstrous men are made, not born. And they do not have anyone checking them. Instead, friends and family aid and abet them.

Sending love to all who shared. May you find safety, peace, and healing. 💘

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court DISMISSES DOJ lawsuit to obtain access to Rhode Island's unreacted voter file.

In these cases nationally, my law firm is now 5-0 and DOJ is 0-5. Not sure how Harmeet is going to explain this to her "boss." www.democracydocket.com/cases/rhode-...

Reminder: the state she lived in is the only dem governed state with an agreement with ICE, and that governor has applauded ICE on multiple occasions.

so thanks @massgovernor.bsky.social

you helped terrorize international students until they left Boston.

Blago? Wow. "[Former Illinois governor] Blagojevich is lobbying for the government of Republika Srpska, a Serb-controlled part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Blagojevich published articles in the Washington Times and Daily Caller on behalf of Republika Srpska."

Had no idea that the now former vocalist from West Indian Girl is Mariqueen Maandig, wife of Trent Reznor. Have not heard her sing since, so I'll listen to Nine Inch Noize later.

Love this song & the album it's from. If you watched any 00s teen shows, you prolly know this youtu.be/P6ElDnY_QnQ?...

For example, she could have done Italo disco, one of my faves, and Goldfrapp had an album inspired by that vibe, Head First. Alison is still putting out bangers that are disco-infused but still very much her style.

Anyway, the songs are mostly forgettable. Needs fresh production and songwriting.

The only song that was really not disco at all and I liked was "16 Summers" about the wistfulness of her kids growing up. But that's a ballad.

The winky-wink vibe of this album, though, is caught in mid-wink. It's like, are you OK? Is something in your eye?

Jessie Ware's Superbloom is super sleepy! Like OK, girl, you're a disco diva now, but it's background music. There are no real want-to-get-out-on-the-dancefloor bangers.

She's not covering any new ground sonically, unfortunately. It's a mash-up of What's Your Pleasure? and That! Feels! Good! ⭐⭐

To be so out of touch with your own humanity, you can't see it in your spouse or your children. You've gone down such a dark and lonely road alone, by choice, like some wayward cowboy, and all you have left is a cliff to fall off from, passing by all sorts of help and resources along the way.

To be clear, I know selfishness is an awful trope weaponized against folks dying by suicide, but that's not what I mean here. I mean making your kids orphans on purpose by taking out both parents. It's truly evil. It's worse when they take out their whole families, which also happens.

It happened around here about a few months ago, with a toddler upstairs. I hope he didn't see or hear anything, poor child. Murder-suicide is the deepest kind of selfishness. You don't give about a fuck about anyone except your miserable self and you want to take out your self-hatred on someone else

How many lives did it cost for this to happen?

If I were him, I would be so spooked, but I don't think he remembered when he was christened. And I never knew his conversion story. It was just interesting to read his bio from 3 months after I was born. It's just been interesting to find all these artifacts of my ancestry. Sankofa stuff.

(Also my former bestie's first kid was due on my birthday)

I honestly don't think his narcissistic ass put all that together. I'm not really religious anymore, but Christmas is close to the Winter Solstice, the return of the light. It's so profound. And he's a Leo! And I was born on Sunday and hour

It's so interesting that my dad such resonance with my birthday (Christmas) from his own birth (when he was christened) and when he was "born again." I just learned about that from an old thing he spoke at back when was in the military for a second. And yet, the disdain of me. It's remarkable.

Still seeing muted accounts unmuted on my SL...on deck dot blue. I may have to abstain from using this since bsky isn't all the way healed, clearly.

Somewhat related, maybe, I'm not a cybersecurity expert: got a report that my website got way more security threats than normal last month. Hmmm...

Damn this is CREEPY.

The dipshits upstairs woke me up with burned food. At 5am. Why can't they cook? 🤬

I do hope that at least it brings more awareness to women who may be in these dangerous situations and don't yet know. But Telegram is a bit of a black box. I don't know these group chats are allowed to ever exist.

This report reminds me of how close to home sexual violence is. The internet and social media make it easier for violent people to find each other and inspire each other to do heinous acts.

The repeat offenders part of this thread is very important, and that our society aids and abets them.

YES!

Some good points brought up here. Definitely need better basic tech reporting.

This is like empty the homes, enter the streets stuff, but so much of that exists here in the US already...

After reading about this gotdamn infernal rape academy, this is a stay woke (sadly, literally) situation. After millennia of enduring and surviving misogyny, we have this reached yet another nadir in human civilization.

When a woman considers choosing a man or a bear to prolong her life, she must choose the bear, for marrying a man shortens her life; and lo, if the bear may kill her, yet shall she truly live, and die, on her own terms. Selah.

It was a good time, a gratuitous time, until it wasn't. I don't know if we watch TV collectively like this anymore besides awards shows. It feels very asynchronous now. I don't feel like I've lost anything not watching this season of The Pitt yet. I can still discuss some shows later. But I feel sad
