Old lady in the ChatGPT commercial: "I'm giving a seminar on the history of sound in 30 minutes and I need you to check my dates..." Me EVERY TIME I hear it: "No you fucking aren't." That's a commercial scripted using crappy AI. Nobody has ever uttered that sentence in the history of the world.

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

I wonder how long it will take businesses (and social media folk) to realize that using obvious AI-created images are hurting their brand. They're not interesting. They're not good. And they send the message that you don't really care about what you're doing. Lazy and ineffective.

People who use AI images to promote their businesses are telling me they are putting as little effort as possible into reaching out to potential customers. I'm happy to respond by putting as little effort as possible into being at all interested in what they are trying to sell me.

ChatGPT got me actually hating little old ladies. I grab for the remote as soon as I hear them. It's like the big AI companies are realizing they've turned off almost the entire population but are hoping to still be able to tap into the same audience that still falls for telephone scammers.

In ten years i hope we look back and wonder why in the hell we put AI in everything. I hope it'll settle into the places it is truly beneficial and everything else will seem like a bizarre dream we had.

The idea of a tax-payer funded slush fund to give payouts to J6ers is awful. But let's be real. That money ends up in Trump's pockets somehow. He's not exactly known for handing out money, you know?

I keep waiting for the rats to start jumping off the sinking Donald Trump ship, but maybe it's better if they all stay on and just go down with the damned thing.

We don't get a quality team until we get a quality coach. And we don't get a quality coach until we get a quality owner. This all starts at the top. No quality coach wants to be associated with MP. #RCTID

It should be illegal for any commercial, television show, or movie to use the sound of a smoke alarm, the beep of a truck backing up, or the high-pitched alarm on an old watch. This message brought to you by my dogs as they nervously hide under things.

I've long had a goal of having less screen time in my life. Wasn't expecting the assistance from right-wing billionaires to make it happen. I guess I'll be adding CNN and HBO to the list of places I won't be spending any more time or money.

I'm a huge fan of the Olympics, but something about watching the opening ceremony celebration of peace and then hearing that they disqualified a Ukrainian athlete for making the "political statement" of wearing images of friends who died in the war on his helmet has me very soured on it this year.

I knew when Trump was re-elected that things were going to have to get really bad before they got better. I had no idea how bad things would get so quickly. I'm starting to think there's no floor for his supporters to wake up to who he really is.

Trump knows that NOBODY is going to name anything after him when he's gone so he's doing it for himself now. Pathetic.

I don't believe in "manifesting" things to happen. It's bullshit. Still, that won't stop me from constantly repeating these four words over and over again in my head for the next 3+ years of my life: ATTORNEY. GENERAL. JACK. SMITH.

I know that at this point it's a subplot in the Epstein files drama, but I feel compelled to point out, once again, that Larry Summers HAS NO BUSINESS teaching students at ANY university ever again! My latest cries into the abyss, in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...
thenation.com
Why Is Larry Summers Still Employed?
The revelations about the economist’s attempts to pressure a women into a “relationship”—with guidance from Jeffrey Epstein—should finally disqualify him from teaching students.

Two things I hope for daily: (1) Trump misses a step coming down his plane's staircase, and (2) @schumer.senate.gov announcing that he's stepping aside from leadership in the senate.

If you had a president purposely TRYING to get himself impeached and removed from office, I don't know what he'd be doing any different than what Donald Trump is doing. We have a derelict Congress with no spine and no balls.

How many countries and terrorist groups have dreamed of leveling the White House with a bomb? Trump is doing the damage for them for free while the GOP twiddles their thumbs and nods along. Disgusting.

What's the difference between Trump's shit jet video and this image of the East Wing? One is real, one is AI. What is similar? They both reveal his utter disdain for the American people.

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...
Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first.

One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish.

Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points.

We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are.
