Like, I just would love one day without this shit inserting itself into my life in the most judgmental, derailing ways.
I don't care what decisions others make about their looks. But I would like a day off, where I'm not forcibly reminded that so many people are sprinting away from looking like me.
One of the more depressing aspects of the GLP-1 stuff right now is how utterly inescapable it is. Whatever you're doing, wherever you are, there are people shrinking at alarming rates, and endless discussion of said shrinking. There's seemingly no place to just *rest.*
A woman with Long Covid won almost one million dollars in a lawsuit against her employer who refused to allow her work from home accommodations.
May this set a precedent.
Remote work should be accessible to all who need it.
It’s a game changer for people with disabilities.
Spain's leader with a message that should be adopted by every top Democrat
imagine being a family member seeing your mother or father with an AI hand up their corpse making their mouth flap for a subscription fee and you didn't give a single shred of consent
okay, Ill bite.
What do you think the point of reading for and writing a literature review is? The process of reading and writing is crucial for THINKING. Your ideas are shaped by all of this, offloading it to gAI, no matter how "good" you think gAI is at it defeats the purpose entirely.
Boromir from THE LORD OF THE RINGS, holding The One Ring. He thought he could use it for good, but everything done with the ring turns to evil. He was one of the mightiest warriors of middle earth, and he could not resist its powers. Others even mightier fell to the ring. Do you think you are stronger than them? The One Ring is generative AI.
Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.
GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.
"Unbridled convenience rots the soul" is such a perfect way to summarize how I feel about AI and other tech/cultural developments in the last ~10 years.
Why do you need a YouTube video to explain the ending of a film?? It doesn't matter what other people think it meant, what did YOU make of it??
One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

The technical term for this is shit show

I still can’t believe we have a Fox News host running our military.
for what it cost for our allies to shoot down three of our own planes by accident in a murderous illegal war we could have funded the NEH at 150% of its historic peak funding for a year
Abusive boyfriend to police: I didn't start it but I had to end it. She didn't cook my burger to perfection so she forced me to hit her.
Brandon Straka: I’m at the Pentagon this morning for a briefing with @SecWar @PeteHegseth on the Iran strikes. Session starts in 10 minutes.
Here's a Jan. 6 rioter posing with a press pass before Pete Hegseth's press conference, just to give you a sense of the type of "journalists" who were in the Pentagon briefing room this morning.
Gemini: 'I deeply regret the time and effort you spent searching for references that I fabricated. My ‘methodology’ was a series of errors and an attempt to cover those errors with more artificial information.'

1. Yesterday, we broke the story that Kansas drivers licenses for transgender people were being immediately revoked by the state.
This morning, the ACLU filed suit in state court to block that process.
Thousands of trans Kansans watch with horror and hope.

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.

taught a generative class on zoom recently & i was so moved by the discussion, by everyone’s participation & care. i love reading poems, talking about poems, witnessing how we open up because of poetry. because we let ourselves get vulnerable. & let our minds do surprising things
“Police arrested a man for a burglary in a city he had never visited after face scanning software deployed across the UK confused him with another person of south Asian heritage.”

"This machine-slop will lead to the death of my craft, all so we can reflexively consume mass-produced garbage and keep the working class poor. I get why Luddites are pissed, and if these tapestries weren’t so funny, I’d be right there with them, bashing those machines to bits."
Seeing Trump and Kash Patel interact with the men’s hockey team is a solid example of how misogyny functions as a male bonding ritual. Patel is clearly trying to impress the athletes and Trump, Trump is trying to impress the athletes, and the athletes are trying to impress the president
Let’s start with the basics: A public library is a publicly-funded institution that provides access to information through materials-lending, research services, events like classes and workshops, and sometimes preservation of heritage through special collections.
