people, please, for the love of god, your own damn health and my sanity, don’t just go buying “weight loss pens” from any random dipshit that offers it to you bc, best case scenario, you’ll just be buying very expensive injectable water

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.
It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.
Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

no, i don’t want a 30-minute video with ads explaining how to do a thing that a one-page WRITTEN instruction document can do. ps: stuff your voice messages where the sun don’t shine

pet death tw / i know it’s the freshness of losing my beloved old man after two weeks of despair and impotence, and i know the passing of time helps, but i am deeply amazed that anyone is able to adopt another pet after this kind of pain

this thread, replies to it and quotes are serving to me as a reminder that most people should not actually get a driver’s license bc they drive like utter psychos
My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area.
(15 in Manhattan btw)

There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.

one of the great tragedies of our age is how many people are willing to view AI as magic because they don't understand how it functions but unwilling to exhibit any humility at all towards more important things they understand even less (like the climate or medicine)
the program is tokenizing inputs into vectors, then doing matrix multiplication to probabilistically compute which token should follow those tokens.
as usual, you are mystified by systems beyond your understanding and come to a bad conclusion (coincidentally the one you know will get you yelled at)

Honestly, with hindsight, Radcliffe, Watson and Grint's public statements where they sided with trans people, expressed their support with no caveats, and willingly blew up any chances at future ties to the franchise has only gotten more and more noteworthy as more actors are revealed to be cowards
Oh this one fucking hurts
Welp. That's Dr. House in the bin...

So you’re telling me the Wizard of Oz presented itself as a towering force of overwhelming technology, only to be unmasked as just some guy, off-screen?
So apparently, it may turn out that The Wizard of Oz at the Las Vegas Sphere wasn’t entirely made in AI and Google threw the VFX crew under the bus by claiming it was all done by artificial intelligence.
If true, then fucking yikes.

Every rich person is going to tell *you* how great AI teaching is while sending *their* kids to the kind of schooling the Ancient Greeks would recognize. I just wish everyone would think about why that is.
I think we’re on the cusp of mass attempts to automate teaching, and I also think it is going to be a massive wasteful failure in ways that will make the “learning loss” of the pandemic look like a speed bump next to a mountain.

as a pharmacist, hard agree. i don’t think it’s hyperbolic at all to put it next to penicillin as one of the most revolutionary medical advancements ever.
Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.
Release from HHS: HHS will wind down its development of the mRNA vaccine development activities under the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).

at this point, it seems like people in the us have less freedom of speech to criticize a genocidal country not their own than the actual people of said genocidal country
The DOJ says it will investigate a US citizen for saying “fuck Isr**l” to a guy in an IDF shirt.
Absolutely the most anti-free speech admin of my lifetime. Probably since the Red Scare, if not earlier.
