I just think farming social media engagement by pumping out videos of animals, who broadly are harmed by the environmental impact of AI, absolutely sucks ass, and is a stain on the soul. Literally sit around in a park for an hour, you'll see an animal doing something cute.

We shouldn’t have to live like this. I’m not THAT old, and I remember we *didn’t* live like this. Powerful segments of society have made a choice that the regular scene of dead bodies in classrooms is an acceptable cost of doing business, and we shouldn’t have to accept that. I’m sad and I’m angry.

Happy birthday to Dick Van Dyke!
I babysat for this family who had some Anti-Swearing program on their TV, and when the Mary Poppins special features came on it introduced “One of the stars, Jerk Van Gay“

I don't want to be a "I'm not surprised" guy but covid made it clear that a substantial part of the population wants the freedom to do whatever they want even if it kills them and/or others
strangers are fighting to the death in my menchies over this pretty innocuous take and slinging devastating counterarguments like “what if I had to run away from a murderer” and “I like speeding”
one of my longstanding takes is that car manufacturers should be forced to install mandatory speed limiters in every new vehicle and people react to that like I'm advocating to strip them of their right to free speech

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves
Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars
Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

FINALLY GOT IT!
I've taken well over 100,000 pelican pictures, maybe 200,000.
Over 20,000 the past month alone.
Today, I snagged "The One That Got Away"
In my infinite optimism, I give you, a very rare:
Fish success story.

The right’s preferred gender ideology—one of male supremacy, women’s exclusion from dignity, citizenship, and vast spheres of public life, and an enforced heterosexuality of eroticized domination—is much more prescriptive, aggressive, and ubiquitously pushed than anything coming from trans people.
Conservatives have their own "gender ideology" they are pushing constantly, and it's one that's built on coercion and treating women like property.

Kash Patel has been using FBI agents to drive his girlfriend’s drunk friends home. It’s the kind of corruption that will drive him from office, if it turns out that anyone involved was a Democrat.
