This Neil Gaiman podcast stuff is really sumpin'. It makes a lot of sense to me, and I wonder how many people are biting their tongue.

Nobody who had a long term relationship with Amanda Palmer can be ok.

Starting to develop a generally bad opinion of almost anyone with power. Seems like basically anyone "in charge" of anything is greedy, selfish, happily complicit, and unimaginative.

Ageism is fine. Young: annoying and amusing Between: annoying, strong, reckless, stupid Old: annoying, farty, slow

Been there

If I'm seeing results from polls with this methodology... :/

Mixed metaphor graffiti

This has always bothered me.

Aww damn, Dems lost Ezra Klein.

13,000 people

Over the past two decades, nearly 13,000 people have perished behind bars during America's summer months. As heat waves have become more common, these deaths have worsened. capitalbnews.org/michael-broa...

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. Results showed that close to half of the participants secured housing, and nearly $600K saved in public service costs due to fewer ER visits & jail stays. They also saw improved mental health.

"Welp, Linux-based Voltron was a bold idea." *civilization burns in the background*

Made a new friend.

I hate people who are "just here to have fun."

Not listening to podcasts on Spotify or any major vendor platform is one of the easiest political actions one can take. Using standard 3rd party apps supports the continued use of open-tech.

#ImpeachHochul If I'd wanted a Republican governor, I'd have voted for one.

NEW: This spring, NY quietly stripped away COVID sick leave from its own employees. The state informed executive agencies in March that the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers who work for the state would no longer get COVID-specific sick days. hellgatenyc.com/governor-hoc...

Governor Hochul Abruptly Ends COVID Sick Leave for NY State Employees - Hell Gatehellgatenyc.com COVID-19 cases are again on the rise in New York. Statewide, the number of recorded cases has increased five-fold since April, though they are still below levels reached this past winter.

let's see if this is a thing: Griefblower Griefing+whistleblowing = fired4truth type dipshits

Have you listened to a trump rally lately? They're really, really, really weird, and as frightening as they are funny. He repeats himself, mispronounces stuff, retells weird babbling stories in defiance of how they've been covered as weird and babbling, they're utterly bizarre.

PhDs really catching strays today.

ChatGPT already has “Ph.D.-level intelligence,” in that once you remove it from its extremely narrow field of expertise (assembling words into credible-sounding passages) it is wildly out of its depth, but people vastly overestimate its authority because they don’t understand what “intelligence” is.

When you exist in a system where your humanity is often measured by your productivity, and that work is at risk of being obsolete - well yeah, it might cause you to wonder, at some level, why am I here?

Thread is locked, but also my cat puked.

Okay! Thread locked. Let's see if it worked.

Jesus, this is terrible. Just crushing. A journalist shot in the eye by Minneapolis police during the George Floyd protests is dying from her injury, and is now in hospice care. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/please-hel...

I'm not "neuro-spicy" I am the spice.

Godfuckingdammit LLM shit is ruining the fundamental epistemological value of the internet. Pages with 25 sections saying the same thing, *or* sometimes not actually saying anything!

The root of attachment is suffering, unless you're a project manager or copy editor, in which case it's also the source of a paycheck.
