iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

obviously requiring sex parties for advancement in the field is a huge wtf and no one should ever be required to engage (even "just" flirting) with fellow workers, like. this is unhinged! but it's even weirder seeing hints of 'well that's a good idea' and instead the execution is pure 'fuck no'

hiding this as a reply to my own quote post: it's weirdly disappointing? not that i ever held aella as some kind of good example, but i see the value in offering intro events for men with no social skills where 'flirt girls' steer them into healthy interactions and this REALLY ain't it. no safety.

idk why, but when @faineg.com first said we needed to teach the normies about aella's gangbang and the silicon valley sex cult, i didn't assume SHE was running events for them. surprise... and they're way worse than i would have thought.

this writer is very mad about it, like if you haven't heard a song the expectation is that you immediately go and listen to it and fix that problem? or else you're LYING lol but in this case not having heard the country song is a feature, not a bug.

the only reason i've felt the need to say i haven't heard it is when people go on and on about how it's the most popular song ever/are ranting about algos pushing it. there are many songs i haven't heard! it's not that deep to not like country. ask me in a decade, once it's being used in truck ads!

even if this is an accurate figure... that is not what fraud is. and why would it be a problem in the first place? either they're paying a marketplace premium and supporting the system, or enrolled in a free plan and not spending govt funds unnecessarily. do you know what "insurance" is, sir?

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

i wish i could beg on the internet for survival dollars at this point, but considering how attempts to sell goods and services has gone... going out on a limb here to guess offering nothing won't go any better for me. even if you're good at it, if no one wants what you can do it's worthless.

The revelations follow a cordial meeting between Mayor Mamdani and President Trump at Gracie Mansion, after which the mayor said they had spoken about “how to improve the lives of New Yorkers,” especially when it comes to the city’s high living costs — a key driver of homelessness.

The city says the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs would require it to discriminate against trans vets to receive funding. The VA says that’s “false.”

Imagine if instead of regulating drone risks the normal way (which we did), we instead paid weird bloggers lots of money to worry about superintelligent dogs sprouting thumbs and using drones to kill us. This is pretty much how the US is approaching AI risks and regulations. My latest:

Imagine if instead of regulating drones via the standard lengthy, boring, and bureaucratic process - which we did - we instead decided, in the name of fostering all-important American drone innovation...

also because if i call them "recipe development" maybe i'll write down amounts or at least ratios for everybody asking. i am very bad at actually doing that.

ana is tired @koutavi.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

i should start calling my random kitchen experiments "recipe development" bc even tho tonight's is definitely a fail i stand by the concept and if i hadn't been so impatient with assembly i bet it would've worked out great...

Also Sunday, in Evanston. Bystanders interrupted the attack, rendered aid, and called emergency services. ICE drove off leaving the man bleeding and injured in the street. They tossed his wallet onto the ground. A US citizen. He reportedly refused to give them id, his right under IL law.

without downloading new pics, describe your gender:

in theory, it's a sink. kind of. it's not much of a sink, though. just the most essential plumbing, and doesn't really operate like one anymore. but like you look at it and see a sink or something that used to be one and that isn't wrong exactly. we're just going with 'sink' based on the visual, really.

ana is tired @koutavi.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

same. i was definitely expecting something more in line with the sydney sweeney jeans thing, but the visual here is several orders of magnitude worse.
