"Misandry" isn't a real thing. Your analogy is both racist AND sexist.

Vaccinate and get ready to vote! Get your flu and COVID shots and check your voter registration status on your Secretary of State's website.

How can I trust tech companies when this is my life on a weekly basis?
Popup window asking, "Stay signed in? Do this to reduce the number of times you are asked to sign in." This is followed by a check box that will supposedly prevent this from showing up again. It is checked, but it is a lie. It will show up again. It will ALWAYS show up. It will be there in the darkness at the end.

So someone asked me to retell the story of the old lady that told me about killing her husband. Are we ready for a trip back in time to 1999? Some of you already know this story, but if you don't it is a wild ride. Apply all appropriate trigger warnings!

I ended up not being able to participate because the timing didn't work out with some family get-together trip my dad had organized. And then it was never an option again. This has been sitting there for 14 years. Waiting to hit me in the gut. I hope I forget it and find it again in 14 more.

Been getting emails from a company I didn't recognize. They said I had an account, but I didn't recall. I check them out, very AI centric. Seems unlikely, but I go to log in, have them send me a password. "I'm in!" It was plans in a slacklike in July 2012 for a puzzle trail with folks from Portland

A day before that, stancil is defending AI datacenters by claiming they have benefitted communities by putting $4.5 billion into local municipalities! Source? a fucking datacenter booster it appears. He still hasn't provided a source for that number, and that specific number is from a booster.

ScAriock® @ariock.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Couple days ago, an AI booster claimed AI is solving mathematical problems. Today, I see this: cims.nyu.edu/~tristanb/st... So basically, openai may have stolen the work of mathematicians, dumped tons of computing power to get a solution, got sloppy output, and then threated the mathematician.

So artists and writers who have had their work scraped by ai are Capitalists, and the people doing the stealing are Robin Hoods helping out poor billionaires. Monty Python did this sketch like 60 years ago.

This ai philosopher equating a person pirating a movie to watch, with the massive theft of almost literally all IP to make massive amounts of money has got to be one of the most pathetic justifications for unethical behavior I’ve ever seen.

Went to see "Classic Penguins" last night for its NYC debut (and 300th show). Fascinated by how it negotiated consent with a show that asks for so much consent of its audiences, so I wrote about it.

I mean, if we're at the point that wills tancil is having a harder time on bsky for bad takes than trans people for being themselves, good? Being an asshole is never a protected class. We're all clear on that, right?

"FWIW, as a transgender developer and user of AI systems, anecdotally, I've received much more negative treatment over my use of AI than my gender on this platform." That's good, right? One of those things is indefensible from an ethical standpoint, and the other is being trans.
