The latch on the hydraulic wheelchair lift at my building just broke AGAIN on my way out so I guess I'll be spending the whole afternoon in the city and waiting till Lee is done at work so I can actually get back inside my apartment with his help 🙃 I cannot wait to leave this fucking building

Genuinely, this is what bothers me the most, it's fundamentally changed my relationship with art where I'm greeting it initially with skepticism and scrutiny, I never want to feel that way about art.

Maybe I'm too Melbourne for this but who cares if your barista is standoffish? Aren't you there to buy coffee? Just buy the coffee? If the coffee is good it doesn't matter? (and if "they're mean", wtf did you do, because buying coffee is not a long enough interaction for them to be actually mean.)

Anyway guess I'm writing an angry email to my mp later today. Like I don't think it's unreasonable to treat open ai like any other business, and if any other business hacked medicare it probably still wouldn't be treated as seriously as it should but there would at least be SOME consequences.

it's not surprising albo doesn't care that open ai hacked medicare. albo is an ai glazer. literally every time someone tries to talk to him about maybe not building ai data centres everywhere he grows the spine we all thought he couldn't grow just so he can flat out shut that conversation down.

boss, the fascism
Tumblr post by user Nitewrighter that reads:
Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? 

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

As an elder millennial, one of the Great Crimes of AI (in addition to all the real ones) is that AI has poisoned the greatest of all internet creations: the funny cat video. Like, one can no longer simply enjoy a video of a cat being a weird little guy. You have to stop and interrogate reality. FFS

"everyone's a little into forcefem" "forcefem can cure anything" mate I was forcefemmed by all of society for over half my life, I've had enough thanks. you have fun though. (I know people saying these things are just joking and it's not personal, but it still upsets me to read tbh!)

If you're sacrificing trans votes and goodwill because you think it will be an overall political gain, you can't expect to do that and still have our votes and goodwill. You sacrificed those, remember?

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open, period. The only AI I 'use' is shit foisted on me - summaries and slop vomited on my screen as part of internet browsing or injected into programs I work with until I turn those settings off or rip those parts out by the roots.

This is so fucked, man. As a disabled person, finding accessible housing is already near impossible. Ditching what little requirements there are would make it fully impossible. And ditching climate and energy requirements is so lacking in foresight it makes my brain hurt.
