A thing for people to unlearn is believing 1) people must be helpless to deserve help and 2) those who do the helping deserve to judge who is deserving of help and who deserves to suffer

Most people do all they can to support themselves. People don't want to be mooches. It's just a fact most of us need support from others, but people are socialized not to support each other.

Also a reminder to support Wikipedia. It may not be perfect, but by the gods it is *aeons* better than the enshittified corporate owned profit driven advertising spam AI infested internet.

AI is stupid, Exhibit 10^{100}

Screen shot of a Google search. The search is "where is nordheim germany" - spurred by a desire to identify an 18th century portrait.

The big "AI overview" at the top lies ! and says "There is no place called 'Nordheim' Germany that is a widely known city or town". It then proceeds to suggest that I have misspelled "Northeim" and proceeds to list lots of "facts" about "Northeim" with even more irrelevances to show me if I click on its search bar.

*Immediately* ! below that is the first *real* result, the Wikipedia page for the town of Nordheim, Baden-Württemberg, a real place in real Germany for real.

Sheesh.

Platinumeggs‼️COMMISSIONS OPEN

@platinumeggs.bsky.social

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone

- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware

but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

This whole beautiful comic is *chef’s kiss* and this is my favorite bit.

Piece of larger comic on AI art that says “Someone once told me that art is like emotional nutrition.
That made sense to me.
Art feeds my feelings.
And if that's the case, consuming Al art is like eating styrofoam.”

Remind me, whose been bombing Palestine and murdering LGBTQ people in swathes over the last two years?

Who also has a far right coalition who thinks LGBTQ are more dangerous that as ISIS, who think doctors can say no to treating us, who recently cut funding to LGBTQ groups?

Israeli politician claims LGBTQ+ community it more dangerous than ISIS

Israeli politician suggests doctors could refuse to treat gay people

Israeli LGBTQ groups see budgets slashes as community faces growing challenges

The Aguda, Israel's LGBTQ umbrella group, says critical initiatives for the community have been slashed by as much as 75%

For a Student Who Used AI to Write a Paper
By Joseph Fasano
Now I let it fall back
in the grasses.
I hear you. I know
this life is hard now.
I know your days are precious
on this earth.
But what are you trying
to be free of?
The living? The miraculous
task of it?
Love is for the ones who love the work.

Pack of Eevee 🦊

A black and white comic strip featuring Pokemon. In panel 1, the text reads "All Eevee come in a pack... but it changes as we evolve!" The art shows 3 Eevee happily walking together. In panel 2, the text says "A group of Jolteon is called a prickle!" The art shows 3 Jolteon bristling happily together. A label says "Don't touch." In panel 3, two Umbreon are hiding behind a tree trunk. The text says "Then, there's a skulk of Umbreon." In panel 4, Vaporeon gestures to some Espeon and says "And a premonition of Espeon!" They respond "We knew you were going to say that."

Please help my friend get a car in time for them to keep their job and stay housed, more than just one of my friends is relying on this and I have plans to move out there for my work, and I would hate for this to happen.

Please give and share.
