I'm very curious about the aspect of mentorship that requires you to even give a shit about this topic let alone be harassing your students for answers on it

the biggest shock in all this is the 5 days because usually when they remake a UK classic in the US the issue is that they drag it out for to long

I deeply resent right wing govts everywhere for forcing me to learn the names of people that aren't even relevant long enough for me to ever need to know them

a cousin of mine is getting dogwalked in the fam group chat because his google search history was revealed and it's basically dozens of questions to Google gemini about how this or that person feels about him and Gemini's boilerplate response over and over is just "bro nobody thinks much about you"

even something as completely innocuous as the rice truck had some person send me a message about how it was evil that I didn't say that many people cannot afford rice and it's important to remember that they aren't actually talking to you, theyre just trying to make someone else feel like they do

was doing a workshop on managing social media as a creative yesterday and a thing that came up was that if you have any work do remotely close to big numbers, you will get some of the worlds weirdest people saying bizarre shit so just think of em as the wristband proving you entered the nightclub

Elon Musk's "viiolence is coming to you, you either fight back or die" video message most open call political violence in the UK at a major rally since the end of the NI troubles. I can think of no other circs where govt, MPs and other groups would not disassociate from someone saying this

When you look at how many liberals in the comments are going "they should remigrate him!" You can see how absolutely effective Nazi dog whistles have been on the liberal mind. "Remigration" is a Nazi term, it means Nazi shit, and they repeat it uncritically and enthusiastically.

I feel like more people should be talking about this part

Screenshot from the article that reads, The Stud, San Francisco's oldest gay bar, was only able to have its Meta pages restored because of the bars popularity among gay tech executives with connections to Meta

steal our work to create AI models that produce work that sounds like us because they stole it, then feed our work into more models that sometimes flags our work as too similar to the work produced by the models that stole our work in order to produce work that sounds like us.

I watched Florida taken apart by corrupt rightwing governors who destroyed so much. Oregon might not be perfect, but it has a functional government that has preserved many human rights other states have lost. Please don't take that for granted-- reelect Kotek as governor. Hold fast.

I gotta say it’s weird to watch an hour long video from a TTRPG space drama vlogger talking about how a person I actually know and have shared a cigarette with is a horrible person because they didn’t like the vampire story she wrote.

If you can't review a book without talking about the author's personal motivations for making character choices as imagined by you, I'm sorry but it's not just that your review is bad, it's that you're kinda a shit reviewer

I asked an AI if this work was AI and it said yes so it must be AI" is the sort of sentence that would get you frogmarched from the building if you replaced AI with anything else

They can come for anyone like this. Sometimes it will be true. But it really fucking matters that you suspend judgement (and posting) until you've done all the relevant reading and at least a pass or two with "ok but now what if the caller-out is a lying shill" in mind

10 years ago I took a road trip through Montana that consisted of driving all day, going to a Dairy Queen, sleeping at a motel and then leaving the state on the other side and it's still one of the greatest trips of my life because till then I didn't even know how much sky there was in the world

Also I fear I may have misled you in the original post due to character limit constraints, every band member got his own bespoke Death To chant in turn, it just started with Hetfield

when I think about Metallica now I think of when they finally did an India show in Gurgaon that was hyped for like 2 years & on gig day they refused to play after the crowd was let in and I got to be there for 40,000 people wearing Metallica T shirts chanting "Metallica Sucks" & "Death To Hetfield"
