There are so many adorable kittens in the world.
And all I want to do is see my feed on other networks filled with adorable kittens.
SO WHY MUST SO MUCH KITTEN CONTENT BE AI? JUST SOURCE ME SOME ADORABLE REAL LIFE KITTENS YOU FUCKERS.
Swear some people are quick to call the Greens radical because acknowledging humans are part of nature and don't have to be greedy goes completely against their idea we're separate from everything else on this little blue pebble floating around in space.

just crying in my living room singing harmony to "Not Strong Enough," totally normal Friday night
(nice to be back to normal)
My entire internet career (and a fair bit of my actual career!) was born there!
My university received a few years ago the promise of the largest single gift to a public university in U.S. history. It was equivalent to 12 hours of bombing Iran.
Geocities neighbors rise up (against the AI machine)
Threads thread: thriller_instinct 3d Is it okay to bully 40 and 50 year olds who are on social media just for being on it, cuz like why are you here - 254 Q 3.1K G 28 746 corporateash 18h ••• My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you. 852 Q62 G6 72
“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit
I have never before in my life particularly enjoyed eating apples, but ever since falling in love with owning a juicer I have started looking at eating apples as "bespoke direct-to-stomach small batch apple juicing."
That'll go on the long list of comedy challenge performances I will never be able to watch all of because of the level of cringe is far, far too high.
I feel like I am overusing "fucking hell" as a reaction to a lot of new lately, but "fucking hell"
I have to confess, I'd be expecting to see you in a Devil Dinosaur t-shirt.
As someone who spends my days packed with productive activities dictated by a series of endlessly nested spreadsheets, this recovery process is at once maddening & meditative.
I can't pivot to typical secondary stuff I do when I'm wounded or burnt out.
It's the slowest I've lived in a long while.
I really need to finally see this.
really, deeply losing my shit right now
Oo, new jab just dropped in NZ!
Has she done a SINGLE thing correctly, competently, or successfully in three years?
I'd love to say she would've been fired from any real job several times over by this point, but look at Lux's work history.
Literally, at work this morning:
Clinician: Patient should stop medication A, but must keep taking medication B.
AI VR transcription of this: Patient should stop taking medication B.
Seriously NEVER LET A DOCTOR USE AI FOR YOUR APPOINTMENTS. NEVER. UNDER ANY FUCKING CIRCUMSTANCES.
Since my injury back in November (on top of an existing injury), one of the only exercises I could consistently do was squats - sometimes without weight, sometimes as squat presses.
Y'all, now that I am properly in recovery, lemme tell ya: I will NEVER doubt the power and efficacy of squats again.
They are BEAUTIFUL!
(Mostly, it's on kitten videos where people don't know how to bathroom, feed, or bathe small kittens, or on the other side or doing one of those things WAYYYY too roughly.)
If I've learned one thing on the internet, it's that whenever you post something you are doing with your kids or your kittens, SOMEONE will be judging you and thinking it is awful and abusive
(I'm no exception, I disapprove of the activities in well over 50% of all posts involving kids or kittens😂)
oh I would be coming in HOT if that was my kid's class
Publishing friends: Looks like Amazon has cancelled affiliate links to all erotica - plus they’re redefining LGBTQ fiction as erotica just for existing (regardless of heat level)
Devastating for review sites and authors
We need to kill this cursed project with fire, immediately
The three primary puppet characters of the web series Don't Hug Me I'm Scared - a yellow Muppet-style puppet with blue hair, a person-sized humanoid dressed all in red with a giant mane of red yarn for a face and head, and an anthropomorphic duck puppet wearing a blazer.
I don't know how I went a whole decade being completely unaware of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared before it landed on Dropoout this week, but it is so much in my dadaist freak art lane that I wish I could go back in time to experience each episode as it originally hit the internet.
Is there anything more Silicon Valley than needing to click a ‘Show more…’ button just to reveal the word ‘fired’
Me: takes a week of medical leave
Also Me: starts working 20hrs into my leave
I know this seems like a recipe for burnout. For me it's the opposite. I need to stay a LITTLE connected to any kind of work. It helps me prioritze my time off better and it's a vaccine against burning out when I return.
Definitely keep calling me during the work day and not leaving messages or sending a text or emailing me, that's for sure the best way to communicate important information to me.
How much cortisol can I get my body to produce in a single day?
I prefer to leave this question as a hypothetical, but sometimes it becomes a bit too real.
