I post extremely rarely cause I'm just not that funny or interesting. I repost a lot though because art is my passion and I'm no good at it.

Let me just say: Fuckers.
Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.
3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.
4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.
It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.
Story to come.

AI consumed as much water as the water bottle industry this year.
It also created as much carbon pollution as New York City, according to a new study.

Did you know we can get suspended for saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling"? It's one of the many things we are not allowed to say here.
It was okay for me to say it then because I'm just telling you we can't say "I wish JK Rowling was gone".
I'm not actually saying it, just letting you know we can't.

tbf the lesson from the brooks brothers riot and the SCOTUS ruling thereafter being 'who's gonna stop you?' was unfortunately the correct takeaway for pretty much our entire lives

Yet another example of what happens if we allow LLMs to become a form of epistemic grounding for society.
This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.
The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.
