when your mood is so shit that you confine yourself to the bathtub so as not to sour the vibes for everyone else in the house

*probably more like two or three tbh. depends on how fast we're able to detrain our skilled software engineers.

1. If the US doesn't repeal the DMCA within the next seven* years, humanity will not survive Y2K38.

2. The US is completely incapable of repealing the DMCA.

3. I can't promise that the next twelve years will be the best of your life, but it's a pretty sure bet they'll at least be the last.

I'm actually more concerned with Nina's hearing than its ability to speak, but based on the quip about "*that* voice", we know that hearing is working too! Whew.

A pair of black slacks, a light blue shirt, and a cream blazer laying flat on a bedspread

An enby wearing the aforesaid outfit, looking quite professional in a mirror-selfie kind of way

Same enby, same outfit, with the blazer unbuttoned to reveal the shirt as a partially-button-up collar shirt with vertical piping

Same enby and outfit with the blazer taken off, revealing that the shirt has no sleeves and the enby a fantastic rack

I'm working on it geez sorry it's taking so long

instructions unclear, we had to stop playing when we ran out of clothes to take off

important message to all bluesky users

“Earth is my favorite planet!” — 3 yo watching Futurama, not knowing that much about Earth tbh

"You cannot kill me in a way that matters" was the mantra that got me through 2025

Screenshot of a Signal message whose text is the link https://www.epa.gov/mercury/cleaning-broken-cfl The link preview shows the logo of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the page title "Cleaning Up a Broken CFL | US EPA", a posting date of Jan 22, 2013, and the following summary: Abridged instructions. Proper cleanup will minimize exposure to mercury vapor. Most importantly, don't vacuum, air out the room, and dispose of waste appropriately.

I want to take a moment to appreciate that the 2013 EPA took their detailed instructions on how to safely clean up a broken CFL and condensed it into a TL;DR of the most critical info for the link embed description. S-tier UX, I give it a 12/10. Thanks, Obama. (miss u bro)

this remains the greatest synopsis of incel culture one could ever ask for

some days it's everything I can do not to drive my fist through a wall. some days even that much is beyond me.

"Experience demonstrates that there may be a slavery of wages only a little less galling and crushing in its effects than chattel slavery, and that this slavery of wages must go down with the other."

Three Google search queries from history: glass onion a knives out mystery cast -asdf list of sciences -asdf graph of wealth inequality -asdf

I always append -asdf or the like to every one of my search queries just to make sure it doesn't give me AI results at the top, because I absolutely despise seeing them 😅

please let “bugs bunnying” become the slang for manipulating an LLM into ignoring its guardrails, i have never seen a more succinct and evocative term for it

if we truly wanted to, the American people could rise up and cast him and his whole administration out of office. our founders left us the tools we'd need, in order to do that. we could have him out in a MONTH if we cared enough, no blood shed.

it infuriates me to know that we never, ever will.

listen, my politics are simple. I believe that no person should ever be forced to get out of a nice warm bath, for any reason whatsoever. is that so wrong

I present: cursed disciplines of science

Ready to time shift to this era

AGI is a weird cult. Which wouldn't be a problem except that it's a weird cult that tries to turn all conversation about generative AI safety into streetcorner preaching about the rise of the machine god while the rest of us are trying to have normal conversations about real problems

Also this is like saying no oil company has plans to prevent invasion from the molemen living Deep Below who might seek vengeance for drilling

AGI can't hurt you because AGI isn't real, inevitable, or even likely.

Which is precisely WHY these companies derail conversations about real AI safety.

Speaking as someone who has had to go through the disability process as an adult (which is different but no less suspicious and dehumanizing): this exactly.

it's the same sentiment behind the mutual aid site I keep talking about wanting to set up: what if we just got rid of the gatekeeping?

Two generations now who grew up under that.

Social dynamics and parenting of Gen Z and Gen Alpha look nothing like my childhood.

Without online interactions, many of these kids wouldn't be talking to other humans at all unless their parents are arranging it.

People say social media is the cause of so many problems in kids today.

The Gen Xer who posts nostalgic pictures of kids roaming free at night, contrasted with online kids, but that's simply not allowed today.

But I think that it's actually the fallout of stranger danger.

Screenshot of a bsky post reading: Welcome to that day in the year where you can no longer complain about Christmas lights or Christmas music because "It's not even Thanksgiving yet!"

Not quoting or attributing because I think the "oh yay it's xmas"/"oh no it's xmas" divide really IS just harmless fun as much as anything can be, but I really dislike this particular take. It's giving "I've been doing this over your reasonable objections, now it's time for you to stop being mad ok"

an advisor would be so nice, ngl
