It's so funny that one of the main techniques used by 988 hotlines is basically "I'm giving you a homework assignment to be alive for the next 48 hours" and it actually works a lot of the time

So are AI image generators no longer capable of producing art in any style other than hyper-glossy 3D renders or the thing they're calling "Ghibli style?" Or are the people who make these so creatively bankrupt that they can't even think to have it make anything in any other style?
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

The one silver lining of untreated ADHD is that it can blunt the effects of other brain problems by making it that much harder to go through with certain self-destructive actions

I remain skeptical that any rich people plot to control the media requires them to bother dictating day to day coverage, when class solidarity can also get it done, and with less effort

It's so funny that Dorsey put out an app that was obviously the future of social media (as evidenced by Vine clone Tiktok transforming the entire landscape) and then threw it straight in the garbage because the most value-generative creators asked for a tiny cut

I have little doubt that the US military could destroy any state capacity in the country within the first days/weeks, but the way Venezuela organizes its armed forces is different from other recent targets of US ordinance in a way that I think would make any long-term occupation even more deadly

He's literally helping the Senate Dems capitulate by trying to frame it as if it was a party-line situation and not total surrender/collaboration. Yet I see a bunch of people talking about this being some kind of stand

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
