also once pulled gotcha on the boulder police lol

tweet thread:
@ryanbonick - hey @boulderpolice is it a ticketable offense to park a car in the bike lane?
@boulderpolice - If you call Dispatch at 303-441-3333 they will notify the city's parking services
@ryanbonick - thanks. maybe you can just let your officer(s) know?

much like moviepass, the economics of this clearly *do not work* and do not scale and will surely come crashing down

unlike moviepass, this does not actually benefit the average person (unless you think ai slop is better than genuine human content, in which case, fuck off)

'Sora cost $20 a month & subscribers can generate an unlimited number of AI videos... this costs (Sora owners) OpenAI "at least $5 per 10-second video"'.

Journalists, please ask more questions about how this tech could ever in a million years make a profit?

studio execs & major outlets claim AI is "inevitable" and poised to take over Hollywood. the reality is much different. i spoke with filmmakers, producers, and editors about how AI is actually showing up in productions – and what it still can't do:

*colorado intensifies*

a grassy prairie, with yellowing trees along a lake in the distance and blue skies overhead

a dirt road with an evergreen tree and a few trees with leaves changing. there are mountains visible on the left side in the distance.

a dirt road lined with trees changing colors

a tree lined path in town, with the trees all on the right side and changing colors

Ok, since many people are obviously not reading the article, here's a pertinent figure from it showing the top actions to reduce emissions.

A horizontal bar chart titled “19 climate-friendly choices, ranked” shows actions individuals can take to reduce their carbon footprint, ordered from most to least impactful. The x-axis represents projected impact in tons of CO₂ equivalent per capita per year (tCO₂e/cap/yr), ranging from 0 to about 2.5. Each action is color-coded by sector: transportation (blue), energy (orange), and food (green).

Go car-free – highest impact (blue bar extending to about 2.5 tCO₂e).

Fly less (blue, about 1.5).

Shift to renewable home energy (orange, about 1.4).

Switch to EV or hybrid car (blue, about 1.2).

Go vegan (green, about 1.0).

Walk, bike, or take transit more (blue).

Make energy-efficient renovations (orange).

Use clean cooking equipment (orange).

Go vegetarian (green).

Shift driving habits (e.g., carpooling) (blue).

Increase telecommuting (blue).

Shift to regional/seasonal diet (green).

Move to energy-efficient home (orange).

Decrease food waste (green).

Eat less meat (green).

Use less energy at home (orange).

Reduce packaged food, dining out (green).

Use energy-efficient appliances (orange).

Compost – least impact (green, under 0.1).

A note clarifies that these are meta-analytic estimates of greenhouse gas reduction potentials, drawn from 659 estimates across 47 academic journal articles. The average person emits 6.28 tonnes of CO₂e per year, though this varies widely by income and country. Wealthier populations may emit up to 110 tonnes per year, while lower-income populations may emit as little as 1.6 tonnes.

it's funny you can see exactly where smartphones came into being, because i know:
* our home landline
* best friend's landline
* parents' cells
* middle sister's cell

but NOT my youngest sister's cell bc i had an iphone when she got one and didn't have to remember it!

A little bit of Monica in my life
A little bit of Erica by my side
A little bit of Rita's all I need
A little bit of Tina's what I see
A little bit of Sandra in the sun
A little bit of Mary all night long
But they were, all of them, deceived, for another Mambo was made.
