As you use AI to simplify easy yet mundane tasks, like writing emails, you get increasingly dependent on it.

You get lazy, less skilled, use your brain less, and (you may not want to hear this) get stupider as a result.

Don’t let them take away your ability to think. Stop using it. Now.

As someone who went on the Internet for the first time in the early 90’s, I fucking loved the Internet. It has given so many things in life, and afforded me so many incredible experiences.

And to see it, and technology in general where they are today is kinda soul crushing.

I'm using Google Translate a lot to work out how to say certain things in French and sometimes when a sentence involves the second person it chooses the wrong form for what I need (tu vs vous) but it turns out I can get it to use the desired form by ending the sentence with either "buddy" or "sir" 🙃

people have got to realize that we are not getting Medicare for All without taxing the middle class. we are not getting free child care without taxing the middle class. we are not getting better schools and free college without taxing the middle class.

I make $95,000 a year. raise my taxes, please.

Fanart of T'Lyn from Star Trek: Lower Decks. 

Left: T'Lyn on a Vulcan ship, with her Vulcan grey and white crew uniform. She is standing with her left arm behind her back and doing a Vulcan salute with her right hand.

Top Right:  T'Lyn rearranging the pieces on a 3D chess board and looking sideways conspiratorially. She is in the Cerritos' nar and in her Starfleet uniform.

Bottom Right: T'Lyn wielding a Larpa while on Orion, wearing her yellow Orion outfit, looking hella angry.

btw about that pixar thing, the reason why these people think having a conversation about gay people with kids is difficult is because they don't know a way to say to their kid "gay people are normal but you are not allowed to be one" without sounding like a bigot (there is a reason for that)

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

Speaking of media literacy. Y'all be talking about Scooby Doo like it's a show about ghosts and ghouls. That shit was about capitalists using fear to turn a profit. Every episode. Contemporary Scooby inserts real supernatural elements, but real Scooby understands, the only real evil is capital.

It’s hard to properly convey the lunacy of these proposals to people outside aerospace.

Reflect wants to put gigantic mirrors in orbit and beam down sunlight at nighttime.

SpaceX wants a million more starlink sats.

If either of these actually happens, space will be unusable.

In just two months, Zohran Mamdani has:

-Launched the first stage of his universal childcare program
-Rolled Trump into releasing a detained Columbia student
-Used fair wages to get New Yorkers to clear streets and sidewalks during a blizzard

FYI: This is what leadership looks like.
