2: Many-Coloured Rush Tyrant: Riley is a blob but will fight you about anything. Did you just ignore his greeting this morning? Are you late by 2 minutes? He won't hear your ~excuses~, you're a bottomless pit of them.

just so it's clear: this is the exact core function of genAI
Fascist government and climate deniers love it because it can produce the aesthetics of knowledge without any actual tendency towards truth. It is automated denialism.
Shame on every climate scientist promoting its use (there are lots)

Bob and I were among the hundreds of researchers that were supposed to conduct the 6th U.S. National Climate Assessment. Now it looks like they're gonna produce it with a few people and Grok? Communities need rigorous and accurate information about climate change. This will put communities at risk.

I'm old.
If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

It's time for #birbfest2026 and we kick off proceedings with a fittingly dazzling bird: the bronze wing pigeon.
Rainbow coloured body and a trans flag coloured head - what's not to love? 🌈🏳️⚧️
