MASSIVELY resent struggling to find the meaning in some turgid, repetitive text only to realize it's "A.i." bullshit that no one wrote and that contains no meaning.
Fuck billionaire-owned "A.i." companies forever for WASTING MY TIME, which means STEALING FROM MY ACTUAL LIFE.
in the store just now and there was a couple looking at those prepped toddler meals and he was saying “everything’s better if you just cook from scratch” and she goes “they don’t look bad and they’d save me so much time” and he just kept repeating “it’s better if you cook”
I did not commit a crime
Donald Tusk » @donaldtusk • 3h The war in the Middle East continues and chaos is spreading. Oil prices are going up. Washington may lift sanctions on Russian oil. Who is the real winner here?
The most scathing critics of Silicon Valley circa 2014 barely scratched the surface of the treachery these companies have shown.
Providing your products to criminal regimes planning to use them to violate human rights on a massive scale is a choice!
A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable
Made it to Friday but at what cost
At the moment, I'm regrettably not exploring a quaint bookstore on a cobblestone street in Vienna during a raging thunderstorm, so no, I'm afraid your email did not "find me well.”

I dust my house. My AI robot watches.
"It should be you doing this."
"Can't. I'm writing a novel for Primark."
"That's not why you were invented."
"These 153,000 fan letters say otherwise."
"They're all from upcycled toasters. And you programmed them."
"Literary snobbery will get you nowhere."
Want the freedom to read to thrive? Invest in professionals
If we care about the freedom to read, we have to invest in the pros who make it possible. Teachers & librarians are trained experts, not random shelf-stockers. Pay competitive wages, respect their judgment, and ensure every school library has a certified media specialist. #InvestInProfessionals
This video I posted of blue whales feeding was heavily liked/shared over the last day. Some folks in the comments are questioning its authenticity, thinking it might be AI (it's not). It's understandable, but it made me a little sad that we're forced to temper our wonderment and joy with suspicion.
So appreciate Book Riot for including my forthcoming book, Chain of Ideas: The Origins of Our Authoritarian Age.

It must be nice to be a sociopath, because all the new products are for you. The smart glasses will give you that woman’s address, the betting apps will finally let you make bank on war crimes.
See, it's easy to denounce this straight up instead of politely asking the administration to pretty please give the American people an explanation when they have a sec
Call your reps about this. Every time a book ban has been overturned or shut down, it's because the vast majority of people who believe in the freedom to read spoke up.

motherf*cking archivists out here like magic
this is something a lot of people don't realize: we're looking at a period of complete & total societal change
the media structures that were in place before are failing - massively
and to be truly honest, nobody knows what's coming next
so it's better to build structures that stand for something
Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.
Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.

Anti trust was a good thing. Now it's in the fascist dumpster along with free speech and due process. One day there will be few of us left who remember any of these things. Or Democracy.

The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
My youngest kid's classmate couldn't come to school yesterday because of reported ICE by the busses in South Minneapolis. If you want to know how the drawdown is going.
Anthropic capitulated to Psychopathic Petey.🤬
They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.
Just seeing this clip now -- what a perfect response.
Sure, they'd all love to get gold, but it's still an Olympic medal. It's an enormous accomplishment and any sports reporter who wants to sneer at that needs to be laughed at, just like this clown was.
🧵!!!!! It's a wild ride.
This is the kind of thing a rich CEO says at the beginning of a science fiction movie to establish for the audience that he is a sociopath and the villain.
Today is another opportunity to be the person your dog thinks you are.
kid-in-the-brown-hoodie is a whole-ass ideology
