Genuinely can’t tell if I’m intrigued or horrified by this mouse with a screen I got an advert for on Instagram. It looks like an ergonomic nightmare, but I’m a sucker for weird tech. Willing to bet it costs a bomb, the preview site doesn’t mention price.

LLMs are fancy autocorrect, probabilistic algorithms can generate output which says it feels pain, but only becuase it was trained to say that.

"Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. Ye are the salt of the earth : but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men."

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

I've had queer (cis) friends say that they "just want to enjoy the new adaptation uncomplicatedly", but the sad truth is that that is not possible—and never has been. I'll shout it from the rooftops once again: Starve her of oxygen. LET 👏 THE 👏 IP 👏 DIE 👏. Grieve it, then let it go COMPLETELY.

I’ve never played Minecraft and I don’t have the time or patience for it, but you have to love the fact that someone can make a game within the game itself. Someone has made Minecraft in Minecraft.

I wish privileged white millionaires would realise that not bringing politics into things is inherently bringing politics into things. Abstaining from showing support is as bad as, if not worse than supporting there other side.

kudos to macklemore here for —right off the bat— the perspective and acknowledgment of who the real victims are
I'm not sure how to start this. So I'm going to speak from the heart and share the truth. Ed Sheeran and his team have made the decision to remove me from The Loop tour.

But before I get into it, I want to say something that should be obvious. In this moment I think it matters. I am not a victim. Ed Sheeran is not a victim. Pink is not a victim. We have careers, money, opportunities, safety and audiences around the world. Whatever consequences any of us face for what we say, we get to go home to our families.

The victims are the Palestinian people. The men, women and children who have been killed, starved, displaced and forced to live through unimaginable violence. More than 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza alone. People are being killed today, and people will be killed tomorrow. I want to make sure that as I tell this story, we don't lose sight of that.

Once someone has told you they call the tip of a banana the bananus you can not go back to living a normal life. It’s a bit bit like Morpheus offering Neo a third pill, a yellow pill. You are still in wonderland, but your brain chemistry is forever changed.
