I think it reveals the main goal of the c-suite in pursuing genAI is to increase labor precarity. The ability to fire untold numbers of workers because of AI, even if the AI isn't working, is enough.

It would be great to see someone campaigning on the single issue of holding all of these fuckers accountable for war crimes

they knew they could get away with it because they practiced all those times on the β€œnarco-terrorist” boats, where they also killed the survivors, and nobody sent them to The Hague about it so they are running completely unchecked right now with full use of the arsenal. I do not know how this ends

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.

It is so weird when younger people think that getting older means ceasing social participation

This is also why so many of you fear aging. You think that you will be forced away from life and society

I’m so happy for you πŸ₯°. I hope you can find a (reliable) car soonest!

Americans aren't alone in refusing vaccines. Many countries have had massive measles outbreaks in recent years. Go look at how many countries have fallen off the measle-free list this year alone. And there's a direct line from current US anti-vaxxers to Andrew Wakefield who was in the UK.

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

Also I don’t dream anymore, which is very wild and makes me wonder what at least several years of sleep debt does to you. I’m sure it’s fine 😭

The wildest thing about the CPAP is after a little while I could *feel* my sinuses opening because of the forced air. I don’t like it, it’s a *terrible* feeling sensory-wise, but I do love breathing when I’m sleeping instead of…apparently just not breathing for most of the night? So. πŸ˜‚

It’s not everywhere, but apparently enough places that yeah you should check.

Senate comity is going to destroy our country. These people are all in a little club together, and they care more about each other than they care about the people they serve.

Every D who votes for Mullins cares more about the feelings of their fascist buddies than the safety of you and me.

It would be nice if some of these white pundit Platner defenders would acknowledge that if they're wrong, the bulk of the harm will fall on the rest of us. They're risking our safety more than their own.

3 yrs ago I landed in Detroit the day before I was scheduled to close on a (long gone) house. I didn't end up closing for much longer. I've truly been housing insecure/overpaying for transportation this entire time.

I'm so happy to say this getting fully funded should fix the latter problem.

Hey so, in general I’m a pretty hardened internet user but y’all have GOT to start content warning the Epstein shit. Yes, even β€œjust” quotes. Survivors are on these apps, y’all. Moderation tools do not only exist for the potential reader, they’re there for posters too, and you should use them

A magnetic needle holder that is a bunny outline in a light tan color with a sparkly black skeleton. There is a darning needle across the front to show that it sticks to the magnet inside

I forgot I took a picture of my favorite little bunny needle saver for y’all when I was packing him up last week. He looks like he has a sword! He’s a swashbuckler! 🧢

Mama, who up until about 3 years ago swore she did not have any sensory issues, cannot handle the sound of slurping straws, so the interns know I will revoke straw privileges immediately if there are Straw Shenanigans πŸ˜‚

I keep going back and forth but the baby bang situation leads me to believe it’s a haircut with an absolutely diabolical amount of hairspray. It’s so not important but I need to know lol

Is the hair on the left a weird updo or a weird haircut, I have never been able to tell πŸ˜‚
