I describe my age as 'late 40s'. Nobody asks "how late?". I'm 59.

A customer just tried to use an employee discount code that ChatGPT gave her. I work at a high-end clothing store and clocked in to my manager telling me about the most unhinged interaction from yesterday. A woman walked in asking if she could use a 40% off code she got online. We don't have any sales running, so my manager looks at the screen and realizes ChatGPT straight up handed this woman a real employee's internal ID number.

Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

CNN making this sound more mysterious than it is. It was Yersinia pestis, the plague, the researcher died because she inhaled it into her lungs and developed pneumonic plague, there is no danger but to those directly exposed in the lab. Fear-mongering in the time of global terror is a sick choice.

*record scratch* Yep, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got into this situation… (reposted with alt text because this is an absolute treasure. Photo credit: Kevin Lohman @kevinlohman.bsky.social)
Professional photograph of a squirrel leaping down from a branch at a very startled-looking owl. The owl’s yellow eyes are wide as it looks over its shoulder up at the squirrel who clearly has zero regard for his own life, his mouth open as if shouting WITNESS ME, or potentially some sort of justification for this surprise attack, Inigo Montoya style. Whatever the Owl has to say in return is definitely in all caps.

It's easy to think 'that's just Glinner, he's an extreme example' He is not. Many GCs believe the only good trans person is a dead trans person. All the ones quoted every day in the papers believe this. They're just better at hiding it from mainstream view than this ass wrench.

I can’t really believe this is happening in our country. And it makes me very angry people aren’t doing more to stop it. An entire group have had their civil rights gutted, and are having their lives made unliveable (especially children who are most vulnerable). And what’s anyone doing about it?

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water.  I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there?  God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

Panel 1

Field is reading a book and talking about it.

Field: This autism memoir is fascinating. A lot of it is surprisingly relatable.

Panel 2

Field: It's funny that I've had similar experiences, thoughts, and habits. It's like reading about myself.

Panel 3

Field stares into the distance. They are suddenly evaluating everything about their life.

Panel 4

Field watches a sunset. As if watching an old world vanish into darkness before a new one comes into the light.
