ENCYCLOPEDIA - Your mangled brain would like you to know there is a boxer called Contact Mike. YOU - Yeah? Any news on my wife's name? How about my mother? ENCYCLOPEDIA - Nope.

I distinctly remember a moment during early Covid where a lot of people I knew IRL had been living their lives according to how people on Twitter were yelling at each other, but then gradually just sort of unplugged and stopped giving a shit and everything suddenly felt better and more sane

My dad’s business partner has a story about how BL stole his girlfriend in high school. I then ended up working on one of his shows by random coincidence, and he had no memory of that happening

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

Telling the Pope he can't talk about AI because he's not an "artist" like you is so fucking funny. You're not an AI artist, you didn't art anything. You serially commission visual files from a chatbot. You're like the dumbest Pope Julius III working with the worst fake Michelangelo there is.

This story is great but man I am laughing at how much this guy looks like Michael McDonald - did any other genes even make it in? If you told me that he’d been the result of asexual reproduction by Michael McDonald I’d believe you
A guy who looks basically 1:1 like Michael McDonald who recently found out Michael McDonald is his biological father

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."
Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

The perfect way to put it. They found a way to worm a subscription between you and your normal work.
A screenshot of a post on Threads by Joe Hill. The post reads: "Here’s a thought about the purveyors of AI. They aren’t selling assistance—they’re selling dependency. You give up on acquiring one skill after another, give up on the knotty, meaningful struggle to acquire those skills and AI takes over. It isn’t freeing up time so you can make more of yourself. It’s encouraging cognitive surrender so you can be less."

You do not hate Gavin Newsom enough. You just simply don't. If you have any hate for this Patrick Bateman boss boot licker in your heart, triple it. That's a start. Media consolidation at this scale is venom straight into the veins of the public. Insane how fast they caved before the midterms.
