Search is full of ads and wrong answers. Every other email is an ad. Prime Video charges you and shows ads. Paramount? Ads. Peacock? YouTube? Hulu? Ads followed by more ads. Netflix full of ads. Meta and X, every other thing is an ad. Pinterest is nothing but ads. AI is in everything. AI finishes sentences incorrectly and won’t stop. AI reads your email and search history to target you with more ads. Every time you open an app or visit a site there’s an update making it worse. In a hurry?

We’ve got to update your laptop and will slow down everything you do until you agree to update. But first, click here to agree. Update installed — your laptop’s broken now. It doesn’t matter, since your boss just replaced you with AI. Go to your phone to complain on social media. Wait, your phone needs an update so we can add more AI. Click here. Oh sorry, your phone can’t handle this update. Now it’s useless. Go get the newest phone. Here’s a text from a friend, an email, a voice mail they left three days ago but you didn’t see until now because of sync problems with the cloud. It’s their GoFundMe. Their MLM. Their Patreon. Never mind, you didn’t respond to their text within 9 minutes and now you’re no longer friends. They blocked you. Make new friends. Download this app to find people in your area. In your neighborhood. On your street. Two doors down from you. Do you know this person yet, we think you’d get along. You need an account to use this app. That username is taken. Enter a password. Not that one, you used it on another site. You need to be connected to WiFi to download the app. Allow the app to connect to other devices on your network. Allow the app to access your contacts, know your precise location, store your credit card details. Oops, sorry, we got hacked now all that info is available on the web. There’s a class action suit. You can join. It’ll take a decade to get your $3.73 share of the ten billion settlement. We’ll send it via PayPal or deposit it to your bank, just tell us those details. Oh no, another hack. That info is circulating now, too. Here’s a spam call, a spam email, a spam text. Why are you angry? Why are you talking about getting rid of your phone? Why don’t you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You’ll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???

@datgoatisback Sorry to lead you on; screenshots below are about as rude as Ebert has ever gotten (in his review of Rob Schneider’s Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo.)
I often think of Roger Ebert’s review of Letters to Juliet (2010), in which he basically says, “yeah, it’s probably mediocre, but it reminded me of my own love story, art is subjective, fuck you, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.” This is also my take on Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes.
@sbeanayt@xoxogossipgita I like the implication that innies can’t remember their mothers’ eyes, but the knowledge of LeBron is so strong that it survives the severance procedure
@WillSloanEsq I've seen some writers and shrinks argue that One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest had a huge influence on psychiatry, the policy of involuntary commitment, and the closure of mental hospitals across the country https://t.co/APeumj7LSu
