I was recently in on the very beginning of a Thing That Blew Up On Social Media, and boy did it open my eyes.

I knew these kinds of online kerfuffles tended to have a life of their own, entirely separate from the events and personalities that started them off, but I'd never seen one go quite like this. Probably old news to people, but I'd just never been in one at such an early stage.

It grew to multiple camps of people, aggressively pushing various competing agendas, all of them trying to claim that the tiny snowball that got the whole avalanche thing going was Very Obviously Hard Evidence of Their Position, and pushing orthogonal side-issues and dirt into the fight.

Wow.

Todays unexpected but entirely logical continuation of the AI coding theme, presented in an unfortunate but consequent manner though:
The lighter version of another iteration on the "AI marketplace" theme, episode Fiverr.

When your British TV interviewee says, "I'm a kid from a council estate" but the transcription AI you're using is USA-coded, things can get apocalyptic pretty fucking quickly.

Hoe zou Gerdi Verbeet (en de andere oude garde van de PvdA die hun onvoorwaardelijkheid richting #Israël uitspraken) zich voelen nu ze weten dat ze zelfs de posterboy (girl) zijn verworden van Geert Wilders…

Los van de kinderlijke analyses over wapens en handel voor “defensieve doeleinden” en “de enige democratie in het M-O” praatjes… als de #PVV je in het slot van een #slotdebat opvoert als het argument waarom je op de PVV moet stemmen zegt dat wel iets. #thatescalatedquickly

@PC_Fluesterer@social.tchncs.de Dann müssen wohl auch Halsketten, Broschen, Ohrringe verboten werden, weil die alle eine kamera enthalten können. Und natürlich Armbanduhren, Fingerringe, Armreifen, in-ear-headsets, over-ear-headsets weil die ein Mikrofon enthalten können. Und natürlich Cochlea-Implantate und Smartphones, weil die immer ein mikrofon enthalten. Und Smartwear wegen eingearbeiteter Sensoren und überhaupt Kleidung, weil darunter überwachungstechnik getragen werden kann. Ich nehme als Telefonjoker Julien Ferrat, den Mannheimer Stadtrat. #thatEscalatedQuickly

Knit for my bonus kid’s birthday, this mini frog is a big fan of Hello Kitty. Frog knitting pattern from Claire Garland (modified by me), hoodie pattern by Elliott Clop (heavily modified by me). Slippers and mug of coffee designed and knit/sculpted by me. Excuse the bad photoshop in the first pic, I figured it was nicer than the background in the two following pics. 🧶🐸🤏🏼 Yarns used: Malabrigo Sock, Plymouth Yarn baby alpaca lace, Universal Yarns Wool Pop, plus DMC embroidery floss and about a cm of a Nerf bullet, wrapped in yarn, for the latte. Took at least a week, tiny knitting is surprisingly time-consuming. Again, so I don’t get sued, I did not and will not sell any Hello Kitty fan frogs (lol), this was a present for a human Hello Kitty fan. #knittersgonnaknit #artist #fiberart #hellokitty #hellokittyart #knit #frogcore #minifrog #knitfrog #ncartist #iknitsoidontkillpeople #thatescalatedquickly #artisan #handmade #frogstory #amejohughes #yarn #tinyknitting

This day a discussion about Disneyland Tokyo meandered over hijacking yachts in the Baltic Sea to me sending a serious ask on a houseboat for sale. I think this hashtag is in order

My latest D&D campaign has gone from check out why people are disappearing in a small city to Making a deal with Asmodeus to help kill Vecna and dealing with two players who sold their souls to Yig for more power.

Found myself on a bus passing the #NCH last night, just as doors opened for #JeffMills, so I spontaneously decided to go in 😁 #thatescalatedquickly
