Hey y'all, please do not send me unsolicited scripts, pitches, stories, etc - even as jokes, even to illustrate a point. (This is for legal reasons and is pretty standard practice.) If you do, unfortunately, I'll have to block you. Thanks for your understanding.
What this "gmail is scanning your emails for ai and how to turn it off" kerfluffle this week has taught me is that I have apparently been running gmail in its barebones form for years because I don't have any of this stuff folks are losing by turning off the smart features.

The apparently common thing I don't understand is how people have thousands of unread emails. I have... no unread emails. They come in, I read them. I just... how..? Literally can't imagine how this occurs.

I’ve been noticing this as well, and it’s really troubling, particularly having lived through the 90s/00s extreme thinness hell.
So apparently a lot of female celebrities are extremely skinny right now, reminding people of the "heroin chic" beauty standard of the 90s.

I'm not going to share pictures - I feel uncomfortable being like "look at these bodies, they're bad" even when what I'm critiquing is not the bodies

It also fucking sucks that so many people on the Left(s) refuse to understand anti-fatness as a system of oppression, and fat liberation as a legitimate anti-oppression movement.

It sucks, because it's all connected, and if you don't see this part, you don't have a clear understanding of the whole.

It sucks, as someone who grew up in the 90s and early 00s (back when Jessica Simpson was "fat," lolsob) seeing this cycle happen again.

It sucks that capitalism is so fucking boring and repetitive in how it destroys people's lives for profit.

So, just to be clear, in addition to sending queer people out into the cold to starve or freeze to death, the SA also:

- provides food services for ICE
- provides correctional services to the carceral system
- union busts

They’re almost comedically evil.
The apartment building my Grandparents were living in burned down when my mother was a baby. The Salvation Army assisted the other tenants with emergency housing. They wouldn't help my Mom's family because they were Jewish.
I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season

People 100% steal posts and jokes and present them as their own.

AND, a lot of times, multiple people spontaneously have the exact same idea for a post/joke. We all swim in the same waters, so overlap is gonna happen.

It can be hard to parse which is which sometimes.

Well, shit. I’m so sad to hear Alice Wong has passed. What a lovely person and amazing writer she was.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

AI can't do that. It can't understand the words or the characters it's "voicing." It can't understand your intent and has no intent of its own. You need a real actor to do this.

If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

Hey, hey, this premiered tonight on Apple TV. My husband and a whole lotta friends of mine spent the last few years making it. It’s very good. You should check it out.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

He's bound to screw up and disappoint, because human.

But he is by all accounts, a guy with skills, values, ethics, and principles, and a sense of humor about himself.

And I think we can say, hey we should elect more people that meet a baseline of those things.

ditto for someone's code, writing, music etc

"brilliant assholes" cost you so many great contributions from other people and are never ever worth it.
I truly can't stress this enough: No one's art is good enough to justify them being miserable to work with. Almost everyone I've worked with has been wonderful, but the handful of folks that weren't brought the whole team down by being egotistical, sexist, condescending, etc.

This whole thread is just....

Cannot believe it needs to be said, thank God it is being said, and fuck this shit, abolish everything that led to this.
Ellis: "The camera is your friend."

If someone throws a rock at your head, the camera will capture it. If someone throws fireworks at you, the camera will capture it. And then it won't just be your word.

That's what federal officials said happened on Friday.

We can be mad about all of it -- every single trespass, every injury. It's not a zero-sum game. (and it all springs from the same rotten core.)

I feel like we don’t have to settle —because we CAN have progressive candidates who DON’T have Nazi tattoos. This isn’t a big ask, y’all.
