They truly want you to believe this shit is inevitable and actually better than human endeavor but the one surefire thing that can stop it is not agreeing to the first two things. That’s all! That also means not willingly feeding it. It’s not difficult to avoid using it!

The space between thoughts is too much and too little. Somewhere in there hides calm, waiting to be found. Another breath before getting lost.

graphic that has four photos: upper left is two sheep eating a pumpkin together, lower left is a black and white goat, lower right is a beautiful dark brown pig running on snowy ground, and upper right is a dark brown mini horse with snow on his nose. Text in the middle says "help us get 100 new monthly sponsors by march 31st!"

We have a huge goal we want to reach by the end of this month, and while it seems awfully ambitious you all have helped us accomplish seemingly impossible tasks in the past so we know you are capable of miracles! We would like to add 100 new monthly donors by March 31st. donorbox.org/mmfs-donate

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. Riker and Geordi, in uniforms red and gold, meet at a Enterprise corridor intersection. Riker is *very* tall. You don't always see it, but here facing and compared to Geordi, sheesh he's a tall drink of water. Anyways, his hair's a bit messy. Closed caption reads, "I'm having trouble waking up."

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online The bipartisan push to remove anonymity from the internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented mass surveillance and censorship.

You should be able to criticize your government anonymously online.

Full stop.

"Age verification" legislation is just a pretty name for "forced online ID checks," meaning everything you post is associated with your government name

We have to stop this.

This has been a well-known issue since it's IPO. Yet, our regulations allow the stock market to act like pump and dumps.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

So basically I am to recycle and use less water and turn the heating down during cold weather and not waste food, while US and Isr are allowed to create oil rain in Iran.

Hey Baton Rouge and New Orleans folks, I think we’re ready to start looking for a home for Patches. He’s a sweet little guy, neutered, got his rabies and FeLV shots, and he’s a big fan of inside life. He’s FIV+, but I think he can be integrated with FIV- cats with training and supervision.

considering time and space and birds and trees and mushrooms and stars and the moon and a cat sleeping

suddenly these human struggles appear so small so pointless

So really, there is no point in worrying about if people will dislike your work. Someone always will. Some ppl could see the face of a loving god on a beautiful summer’s day and would still find reasons to have a bad time. This is a part of life and the beautiful variety of human existence

when you win a small concession you just get to keep yelling btw. one time a local official said to me "you people are never happy" and like: correct! it is not our job to be happy with compromise! it's our job to be annoying forever actually

Dystopian future space sci-fi series characters are always called something like N’aya, Zedar, Amara and John.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
