The first sentence of the article is like a Black Mirror episode pitch that got immediately shitcanned because nobody wants to watch heavy-handed Marxist social critique based on an utterly implausible premise.

Honestly I just think there should be countdown calendars for every month. Give me a February of tiny jams. Give me an August of Oktoberfest beer variations. Let me take Pokemon figures from cardboard doors in March. I need enrichment in my enclosure.

The people upset with AI safety are the same people upset that they can't* say certain words anymore

--
In the wise words of @juliusgoat.bsky.social - of course people can still say any words, it's just that others will now treat them as the kind of people who use those words, which makes them sad

The “what is an indie” discourse aside, I’m really enjoying Dave the Diver, and I will say it has way more of a narrative than I was expecting (I thought I’d mostly be catching fish and serving sushi).

The main reason Van Halen did this was ingenious. It wasn't to be Asshole Famous™️ It was because if someone had taken the time and care to read their rider request list and follow their weird tiny M&M ask, it would mean the on stage electrics+ pyrotechnics would be safe (ie attention to detail)

“IBM released a statement… it has “suspended all advertising on X while we investigate this entirely unacceptable situation.”” Curious to see if the other brands mentioned (Apple, Bravo, Oracle, Xfinity) follow suit 👀

Checking in with some high-follower accounts I’m mutuals with over keeps me going back, but less and less, and I’m trying to make more of an effort to be present over here. I think the Threads/Blue Sky split has hurt the post-Twitter engagement in a noticeable way - I know I can only commit to one.

Hi, in addition to being ridiculous, this isn't an ancient Christian therapy method. Tim LaHaye invented it in a book called The Spirit-Controlled Temperament in 1966. LaHaye also coauthored the Left Behind series & wrote a bunch of terrible sex ed books & homophobic screeds.

as someone with really bad knees who has a very hard time walking or standing for long periods without a break, this is a great example of how hatred and bias towards a single group (such as unhoused people) hurts LITERALLY EVERYONE I am frequently in 100% preventable pain because of these ghouls

I want to play Spider-Man 2 but I also have a stack of unplayed games, makes it harder to justify the $70 price tag to myself right now. I fully acknowledge that having access to one platform’s company store and not the others’ does skew the value proposition for me though.
