kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

Dem leadership: changing this is a difficult process, you fool. You rube. You utter infant. Give us between $5 and $50

Mamdani, wiping grease off his hands: So it turns out there's a switch on this machine that puts it into either orphan-shredding mode or free school lunch mode. Just had to flip it

There had better be a Spider-Man backpack waiting for him.

As Greg has said here, the store's site has crashed from the traffic/flood of orders. But a GofundMe is still live to help with the store's renovation.

DreamHaven Books owner Greg Ketter emerging from a cloud of tear gas that ICE agents fired into the streets of Minneapolis.

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

Any agent would be very fortunate to add Jeremy to their list. One of the most talented, professional, and hard-working writers out there.

I'm sorry. As a technology writer, I'm supposed to be telling you that this bet will some day pay off, because one day we will have shoveled so many words into the word-guessing program that it wakes up and learns how to actually do the jobs it is failing spectacularly at today. This is a proposition akin to the idea that if we keep breeding horses to run faster and faster, one of them will give birth to a locomotive. Humans possess intelligence, and machines do not. The difference between a human and a word-guessing program isn't how many words the human knows. I'm sorry. I know that when we talk about "digital sovereignty," we're obliged to talk about how we can build more data-centres that we can fill up with money-losing chips from American silicon monopolists in the hopes of destroying as many jobs as possible while blowing through our clean energy goals and enshittifying as much of our potable water as possible.

The Thundercats Roleplaying Game is Here! Thunder - Thunder - Thundercats Hoooo! You can play as your favorite Thunderian in an awesome paper and pencil roleplaying game!

In case there are any ThunderCats and/or rpg fans in my sphere, this is a new fun cool games project I got to do a little work on last year and there’s roughly 24 hours left to get in on some ~exclusive~ editions www.kickstarter.com/projects/toy...

I further put forward that we be allowed to be a little bit rude about it. look what the obsession with civility has gotten us. if a person is being hateful or saying something untrue, you should be allowed to get a little bitchy if you need to!

I think it’s also true that loneliness among women has historically been treated as an individual problem, while loneliness among men is treated as a societal problem. That, in turn, comes from an assumption that women are supposed to earn the company of others while men are entitled to it.

I don’t think there was a single dry eye in my mostly full theater. It was transcendent, it feels like Jessie Buckley made herself a conduit for something so powerful and human that it completely leapt off the screen

If some guy stole my shit and made millions off it while wiping out my job prospects, and you, as my friend, bought that guy's cheap mass market replica of my shit, you and i would for obvious reasons have a problem. It being a massive company, not a guy, actually makes it even more of a problem.

Writing about Elon Musk’s pay package without leading with this is like profiling John Wayne Gacy’s booming party clown career.

makes me weep to think of the gifts robbed from us because unaffordable housing has made it difficult for people to pursue their passions and hobbies

Chicago area folks: @icirr.bsky.social is holding Know Your Rights trainings all the time. I'm signed up for the virtual Nov 3 session (look for the Google doc in the middle of this page). Lots more resources & info on their site. app.smartsheet.com/b/form/a05b4...

the extent to which media elites treat liberal americans as if they do not count in the body politic is a real problem

the practice of giving books a star rating out of five has degraded literary culture profoundly and ought to be wiped from the face of the Earth

dems rly need to be building websites/tools that let people plug in details like zip code, income, type of insurance, etc. so that they can see how much money republicans have cost them/will cost them next cycle. hardly a better message than “these fucks are costing you $x.xx, vote for us”

i’m so pissed some of you were so rude to jack antonoff

Collective action is the way. Good for everyone that’s a “name” talent pledging to torpedo the creative credibility of any org that capitulates to unconstitutional censorship. Now, where can the unions use their leverage beyond the immediate condemnation statements?

this is my home district, and includes that rat bastard Steve king’s old house dist. It’s red as hell, but the idiot trumpers probably can’t tell you what a special election is, let alone when it is or how to vote. special elections are a big part of the playbook in shifting tides at the state level

the “math” here is complete nonsense. comparing paid subscribers to total users for “google or facebook” is bullshit and they know it. never mind that google and fb built that base over ~20 years+

hahaha

this is insane. Netflix only has ~300M global subscribers! hell, there are only about 1.5B iPhone users globally!

Generative AI by definition is conformity. It is an averaging of anything you ask of it - quite literally guessing what the most likely version of a thing might be. It is, by definition, mainstream, as is everything it creates old and deeply ideological, as every model trains on similar data.

Hate is built on fear. The cure to fear is knowledge, experience, and empathy. So the backbone of any censorship movement is their ability to convince people that those three things are actually bad.

We have a very easy argument to make if you think about it... We just need to be louder about it.
