The media always asks climate sceptics the wrong question. The better question is “do you understand the science behind climate change predictions?” That forces them to admit their ignorance, rather than allowing them to profess their belief in fantasy.

Spot on description of #AI

A screenshot of an online form question asking: “Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond simple prompt usage.” Below the question is a large text box containing a poetic, metaphorical response. The response describes AI as a “monster in the forest” that speaks with many voices, answers any question, offers insights, and reveals secrets if asked precisely. It is depicted as emotionless and impartial, offering its services freely but with an implied hidden cost. The passage ends with a warning that the monster’s voice is ever-present, and in dreams, it takes on the face of the questioner.

Corporate media is more outraged at the possibility of a Democratic socialist entering the NY Mayors office than at the certainty that a white supremacist has reentered the White House.

Corporate politicians are more outraged that Mamdani won't condemn something he didn't say than they are at Trump repeating racist things he definitely said.

Silicon Valley is more accepting of a racist who dehumanizes Muslims than they are of a Muslim who defies billionaires.

Sigh...Are we great yet?

@purplepadma @moonrabbit I bet some of the users are actually cats just because this is the best place online and cats would know that.

@quokka1 @purplepadma @Beedazzled Bro, they're going around with Google Doc. That's funny and ingenious.

@purplepadma Oh my god, they're doing something stupid. I could never have predicted that kind of platform would do that thing.

As a 65yo, I have achieved a certain hard-earned wisdom that may have eluded you. I will share:

1) Just get up and go pee, it's not goin' away.

2) Start the fitted sheet at the hardest-to-reach corner.

3) If you get a cold drink, only to discover that you already had one, drink the coldest one first.

4) Work and feel shitty, or don't-work and don't feel shitty. Don't-work and feel shitty is a lousy choice.

5) Being weird is, in fact, a perfectly normal thing to be. *Everyone* does it.

This is exactly what the internet is for.

three posts telling a story of a Berlin woman who regrets not having bought a certain sweater in Iceland and gets it from a New York man who bought it for his wife, who did not like it.

The death toll from flooding in Texas is 69 and rising

Over 100 people needed to be airlifted to safety

Over 3000 homes destroyed so far

This, while Republicans mercilessly cut funding for FEMA, NOAA and healthcare

What’s the House speaker’s response?

“All we know to do at this moment is pray”

So glad they’re in charge.

@dneary @evan how can we choose differently?

@tom The pokemon bot is really cool

@dneary @evan but it effectively means that they do anyway whether we want them to or not because at a certain point the wealth inequality is so great that it doesn't matter what anyone but the rich oligarchs want and so the "haves" choose the leaders

@seb thanks for that with you recent American elections I was trying to double check that I was not based in usa thanks for being straight up this has been great but I got like a month so I'll probably be on a different server soon
