mildly amusing that Gruber thinks he's defused this objection without revealing that he didn't understand the objection in the first place

If you have stayed away, or even just mostly away, from X for years and then come back, people just say things like “Hey, glad you’re back!” On the other networks, especially Mastodon, they tell you you’re “feeding Nazis” — by going to the platform where Tim Cook posts Pikachu videos. These people have either lost their minds or refuse to check their prior assumptions. (Most of the ones who chime in about it publicly are the lost-their-minds types.)

Damn straight. I am tired of people talking about food being bad for them if they enjoy it or "being naughty" for enjoying something that isn't lettuce

Why does it bother me when a manager or the CEO of my employer boasts about using Copilot to write their emails? This. This is why

A post by "rederiswrites" (with a photo of who I assume is Adam Conover in the background) that reads: "Just watched Adam Conover (of Adam Ruins Everything) make such a solid point that I think we should spread far and wide. Yes, having AI write your emails is lazy, sure, but people love being lazy. We need to really emphasize that sending AI emails (or using AI responses on social media, or publishing AI flyers, or or or) is *rude*.

It's rude. You're making someone take their time to read something you couldn't be bothered to write. You're telling them they were so unimportant you couldn't be bothered to actually take the time to say something yourself. And frankly, you're lying about it while you're at it.

It's rude."

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

There is no inherent virtue in home cooking from scratch, home cooking from semi-scratch, frozen meals, take-out delivery, take-out pickup, dine in fast, dine in slow. Each comes with trade offs. But don’t do the expensive thing and say it’s actually cheaper and more ethical. That’s all.

Wouldn’t it be interesting if Florida’s official state tourism agency found out exactly what people thought about their brand new concentration camp? (I made a thing - feel free to copy and share) [ @hcrichardson.bsky.social , you just asked in your video to be tagged in any new memes, right? ]

A vintage style Florida postcard that reads

“Visit FLORIDA
The Concentration Camp State”

…with a sunset view of a beach and palm trees in the background.

In 1930s-50s style, the capital letters of FLORIDA are filled with an illustration, but it’s a photograph of bunk beds surrounded by chain link cages at the horribly named Alligator Alcatraz concentration camp.

The legend at the bottom says

Questions or concerns? Email PR@visitflorida.org or call + 1(850) 488-5607. (Press 1 to speak with a representative)

Incidentally, if you’re in an area like this and in a position to be in charge of cooling centers… Let people bring their pets. Forcing them to choose between cooling down and staying with their pets means people and pets die.

Now that the influential bigot who did a Hitler salute publicly claimed that organic protests against his malfeasance are secretly controlled by a list of foreign Jews, some of whom aren’t even alive today, are we allowed to call him a Nazi, or is there something even Nazier we have to wait for?

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.
