So, as you folks may have saw we settled on Tidal as our replacement across the board; and those of us who are on Spotify are making or now have made the switch. We liked it for how easy it is to switch to from Spotify and overall how similar the UX is, although it has its own gaps.

Current weekly group project with the close friend group is figuring out a good alternative to Spotify /and/ also how painless the transition can be made. So far good leads, though the transition proper will likely happen on the weekend for me

Scientists just called out Ursula von der Leyen for claiming that AI will match human reasoning by 2026. Her "evidence" consisted, it turns out, of CEO statements from OpenAI, Anthropic and Nvidia. Not research. Marketing materials. 🧵

Something to think about is for a fraction of the total spend on AI, we could have started mining asteroids, built a permanent base on the fucking Moon, and still had trillions leftover to feed and clothe the poor.

Sudden realisation that I stopped drawing because while I loved sketching, I always felt it had to be inked and coloured to be good enough. I hate tedious inking and colouring. I made the end result of any drawing a miserable slog ruining something I enjoyed to make it "good enough."
I'm an idiot.

The wealthiest can do Sàlo level sex crimes and that's perfectly fine
But if you're queer, especially trans, into kinks and partake in sex outside of procreation, you're a degenerate and we need to expand the surveillance state so you don't do these things consensually

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

The building, 1 block from Lake Michigan, was (purposely) so damaged that night it was declared uninhabitable, thereby avoiding long eviction processes to empty the building so a large developer could tear it down to build expensive luxury condos
Wells Fargo got possession 2 weeks earlier

Oh no, George Lucus was right all along..
For the first time ever, astronomers have unveiled the shape of a supernova explosion just a day after detection, as the blast was breaking through the star’s surface.

in online corners like these I think people largely recognize how credulous, unprincipled opposition to "wokeness" functioned as lightly papered over defenses of impunity, but it's one of those drums people should probably start beating for normies
Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.
