I just found out there are doctor offices that, with consent, now voice records appointments and use AI to make notes from it. I am now finding this out because I just happen to have an appointment tomorrow and was filling out consent forms. I am super uncomfortable with that.

What I love about Non-Americans bitching about Americans and the U.S. as a whole is that they watch Fox News and think it represents us. Fox News is Legitimately an entertainment platform. Not real news at all. It shows how you are all incredibly susceptible to right extremist propaganda as well.

Just finished this after reading for four hours. I usually take an hour out of my day to read, but it for too good that I felt I couldn't stop. I am still waiting for that Jeff Vandermeer book that was recommended to me on here. I didnt forget! #booksky

We've lost the plot as a society when we started demonizing words like "processed" and "chemical". H2O is a chemical. You are made up of chemicals. A diced tomato is processed, by definition. Nearly everything we eat is processed one way or another. Words have meaning!

I'm excited to start reading this. I saw the author at a panel last night at my a local native art museum near me. I know that's super vague and annoying, but I'm trying to keep my privacy. 🥲

Public Service Announcement to Non-Americans: if you actually think that Americans are either not opposed to their current administration or not doing anything to combat it, you have been heavily propagandized. You are evidently incredibly susceptible to propaganda.

I have an ocean of hate in my heart for the way social media has taught so many Zoomers to reflexively self-censor. Makes me think of the bit in Demolition Man where nobody touches one another anymore, so high-fives have become this weird air-rubbing move.

You would think that when making alien/sci-fi movies that you wouldn't title it with a name incredibly similar to another movie title. The Arrival and Arrival are two separate, somewhat similar, but yet different movies. The Charlie Sheen version could have definitely been executed better.

What I love about Bluesky is it's just a bunch of liberals, progressives, and some leftists yelling at each other about concurrent issues; as if they are yelling at someone different and getting the message across. Also, non-Americans yelling at Americans on shit we actually agree with them with...
