"HyperNormalisation" (2016) is very important.

If you didn't know that, you should probably watch it.

If you already knew that, you should probably watch it again.

Democrats should run a TV ad in Mike Johnson's district, thanking his constituents for taking the hit on the SNAP shutdown and other government services they use all so Mike could keep the Epstein Files from coming out?

Such a stupid story. #ChatGPT deserves as much credit for this #Lottery win as a #FortuneTeller or #Psychic or #Astrologer would. Namely, NONE.

All of these are at least 99% bullshit.

Headline: Michigan woman who used ChatGPT for lottery numbers wins $100K prize

1st sentence of article body: ChatGPT is the reason why this Michigan woman took home a $100,000 lottery prize.

Seen ad for #Amazon Prime photo service a few times. The family featured is #Hispanic - & I’m betting they’ve already exploited users to feed intel to ICE.

If I may dril for a moment, you absolutely do not have to give Trump “credit” for anything, ever. The saying does not go “even a broken clock hires its own gestapo”

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

It's been "About 30 minutes remaining" for over a half hour now.

When will Apple get better at this shit? (Apple is not unique in this regard.)

Progress bar on MacOS Software Update.

Above the bar it says "Preparing updates..."
The bar is maybe 2/3 filled left to right.
In lighter text below the bar, it says "About 30 minutes remaining".

...buying the generic? Often the generics are made by the same plant. Not so with #EssentialEveryday Corned Beef Hash. The non-potato stuff doesn't have the consistency of finely chopped beef. It's liquefied beef goo. And the aftertaste forces me to make an extra coffee. So all in, more expensive.

Income reduced as wife retired & vulture capitalists arbitrarily reduced my hours, so I'm looking for ways to save money. I've always liked #CornedBeefHash fried crispy, with over easy eggs, &/or ketchup. A can makes me 2 meals, under $3 per, all in. Good deal. But can I get it even cheaper by...

Oatmeal hits the nail right on the head.

In my experience, the people who are excited about AI art also happen to be some of the most talentless fucking people I've ever met.

Proverbs 22:6 is true when talking about truth. Sadly, it is also true when talking about racism, classism, fascism, etc. Train them as children to be wrong-headed in any way, and they'll tend to still think that way when they're old.

Give them access to un-gate-kept other stupidity and […]

The arguments made here about access to information have some merit. But there’s more to it. It’s also (much more, I believe) the democratization of publishing. It used to be hard to get your ideas out there because there were gatekeepers who would reject the stupid, the crazy, & the […]
