I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.
I'm sorry, but how dare Arike get even cooler?

My friend Piper really needs help with her medical costs. She has advanced cancer and is trying to get some quality of life as her time runs out (yep we're there)

I saw this yesterday and I have been thinking about this analogy like nonstop ever since, it's so perfect. the new spirtualists and their tech seance. Especially interesting bc there was a huge rise in spiritualism after the 1919 flu pandemic.
This shit is the new spiritualist movement to these weirdos, I'm convinced.
Talking to the chatbot is the new talking to a medium/attending a séance.
This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.
yeah, the X-Files one is interesting to me because I trust Ryan Coogler! But Firefly?? i just don't get it.
why can't they just let things die? "we own the IP so let's dig it out of its grave" is just so boring and bankrupt.
there are not enough strong words for the email I would have written.

This is my actual objection. Our entire jobs have been transformed overnight into entirely different jobs, of far less social worth, and with zero relationship to the reason most of us got into them in the first place. All we want to do is contribute and AI billionaires are like HAHA NOPE.
it's just so disheartening, and I teach middle school!
I know what my job is, and if the only way to get it done is to eliminate technology altogether, then that's what I'll do. I went back to doing everything on paper this year, and it's been better for me and them.
even worse, it philosophically and materially changes my relationship to my students. now i am a cop rather than a teacher. I have no interest in that role. i have no interest in policing children.
The bitterest pill about AI cheating for me is that AI'ed assignments take much longer to grade than honest assignments because they turn grading into an investigation.
So when the student spends less time, I spend more. Fun!
she is absolutely not.
very aspect of life in this country is designed so that people do not form bonds or relationships with other people, it's wild to watch in action. Never seen divide and conquer applied this rigorously to a domestic population that is not under foreign occupation
pre-annoyed is SO REAL. i saw this meme last week that was a version of this: I hope no one at work pisses me off, unfortunately, I work at the pissing-me-off-factory.
Whenever @fatedmates.net ends an episode saying “God I love Romance” I am always 100% of the time thinking heck yes.
Things are looking very wild out here in the real world so you deserve a deep dive on a book by an author with a big backlist! Today's episode is on Sincerely, Your Inconvenient Wife, a modern day marriage of convenience story from Julia Wolf's The Harder They Fall series.
I wrote about why open door romance is actually really important right now and why it's beyond time for people to stop dismissing all open door romance as smut with no value.
Inspired by an observation on a @fatedmates.net podcast!

i absolutely believe someone can hack the light.
i have the dumbest possible question now, but how can you tell that someone is wearing meta glasses?
I think about this ALL THE TIME.
Also, it would be lovely to have #Unrivaled move to a state that hasn’t been passing the most virulent homophobic and transphobic laws of the past few years. Pretty sure those travel advisories against vacationing in Florida have been in place for at least four years old now.
Say what you want about seances, at least they involved artistry and a sense of awe
