Hey NPR, stop anthropomorphizing ai bots. They don't "decide" to do things, because they aren't capable of making decisions. They don't "want" certain outcomes, because they aren't capable of desires. They're nothing more than bits of code, 1s and 0s. They're not sentient beings.

It will always be 2016, the only thing that will change is the liberals’ scapegoat they blame for their underperformance. Bernie bros, the undecided movement, trans people, but never themselves and their dogbrained, seven-figure consultants who only know one trick: act like republicans.

When some parent tells you that they are concerned about their 8 year old at tee ball being able to get a college sports scholarship someday the one and only appropriate response is "What is wrong with you?"

Boosting my LinkedIn with this post that is sure to be hearted by many of my former coworkers
In the style of AI-gen photo posts where vaguely motivational text is written in bizarre places like on a billboard, road hazard sign, or my personal favorite, the side if a building, I found a photo of a generic looking concrete structure and pasted a white field over most if the windows and on the field printed the following:

One of my stupidest habits is reading the first negative Goodreads review in the list after I finish a novel and I can't stop thinking about this one for Harlem Shuffle. I don't know what to tell you, pal. Get better at reading, you're presumably not in seventh grade anymore
Three short paragraphs from a Goodreads user review of Harlem Shuffle:

"The book blurb promises heists, and I'm immediately thinking of well-planned and well-executed ones à la Ocean's Eleven. But what I got instead were hijinks. Carney and his friends, through schemes and poor-decision making, would cause the sort of trouble that Carney can then only straighten out via crooked ways. Now that sounds interesting enough, but for some reason, it didn't feel compelling when I was actually reading it. Perhaps I'm just not the right audience for this type of gangster noir.

However, an even bigger problem is that the writing style didn't work for me. Instead of leading with contextual information, Whitehead often dropped the reader right into random thoughts or new characters -of which there were many-without explanation.

Then after many paragraphs of incomprehensible blather, he finally provides context, at which point the reader would be forced to go back and reread it all again in order to gain understanding. In this way, I read numerous portions of this book many times.

The writing also has a tendency to be unfocused.

Even the most straightforward of scenes would stretch to fill many pages, stuffed full of irrelevant musings, asides, and tangents. Those musings often involved characters we don't know or context we don't have, which adds to the confusion. And by the time I've come out of it, not only did I not understand, but I've forgotten where I am in the original scene."

What does the establishment do if socialism manages not only to overcome the obstacle of its branding, but becomes a political *asset*? What if people *want* it? What if it’s smug satisfied centrism that is the political liability? Whatever else, it’s gonna make Bill Maher’s head pop like a zit.

if an elite lobbying effort can convince you that you have to ban trans people from sports to survive in politics you straightforwardly do not have it in you to pass electoral reform, or stand up to the fossil fuel lobby, or do any of the difficult things that have to be done

I want to find a polite way to tell my coworkers that LinkedIn shows everyone when you like a post
Screenshot of a LinkedIn post. Are you sure you want to know what it says? So I didn't expand the user-written caption, but it says "Success is a poor teacher—it breeds complacency and a false sense of invincibility that stops people from questioning..." and then there's the little "more" button I didn't click. This is all over an AI photo of a beach, right at the edge of the surf, where someone has written with their toe in the hard wet sand in perfect Comic Sans the following half-baked aphorism: "BE COACHABLE: IF YOU'RE NOT OPEN TO FEEDBACK, YOU'RE NOT OPEN TO GROWTH."

A few hundred thousand voters become the central explanatory force in a political system dominated by concentrated wealth, decades-long right-wing strategy, and deliberate disenfranchisement, but still you waste time and energy blowing your rage load on other victims of the crushing machine.
