The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

This is why we should never debate the worth of another person

We all have value just for being ourselves

It’s not tied to our job, or health status or our economic contribution

Saying that someone must prove they “matter” to get Medicaid is blatant eugenics

Disabled people aren’t expendable!

Deep Space Nine scene. Jadzia Dax and Dr. Bashir are in their blue uniforms sitting in the operations center. Bashir is gazing lovingly at Dax. Dax is looking at something else entirely not named Bashir. Closed caption reads, "Men are far too emotional to be leaders."

You know you can just not use AI, right?

You can make a choice not to be part of this.

Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it.

You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.

@dramypsyd I think it's a distraction from something really sinister (what I don't know but I'm sure we'll find out soon enough).

@Nonilex This makes me even more wary -- what horrible things are they trying to distract us from while people are watching this (probably fake) squabble?

Pier 14... taken with my favorite (okay, only) ultrawide lens.

#photography

A view of a pier that pokes out into San Francisco Bay from the Embarcadero.  The view is from the ground looking forward and up at the pier's angled bracket < > railings as they recede, symmetrically, into the distance. There are cloudy blue skies above and yellowing concrete covering the deck of the pier.

For those wondering, the lens is a Sigma 8-16mm ultrawide lens... on an old crop sensor Pentax body.

My doctor’s office just asked me if I consented to an AI scribe taking session notes. (Obviously I said absolutely not and over my dead body).

I am physically incapable of minding my own business so I asked for details. They confirmed that means the rooms are capable of recording now, but assured me that it is “completely deleted” in a “timely fashion”.

I’m with One Medical. So that means the steward of that data is AMAZON.

I am utterly horrified.

“The Needle and the Porte d'Aval seen through the Porte d'Amont”

The Porte d'Amont is the smallest of the three arches of Étretat cliffs.

In a letter to Flaubert and later in his novel “Une vie”, Guy de Maupassant sees an elephant's trunk plunged into the sea as a visual pareidolia.
