A sentient beard piloting a video producer.

I have 624 hills to die on.

@OrdainedInfidel @BBLPERRY A rapist is your President

@skyshimii Gin and vodka are incredibly low in calories compared to alcohol content, so depends on the booze

@nypost The worst thing NYP could say about Hasan is that he likes consensual sex with adult women. Your owner's mates on the other hand...

[Nick Smit - Primordial Goblin @RiddleMeSmit]

@OzraeliAvi @mckinnon_a Do they let you near cutting boards yet mate?

[Nick Smit - Primordial Goblin @RiddleMeSmit]

@webegga Yeah that's exactly what it was tbh. It was easy to focus on "ethics" as a shaming tactic when really it was about controlling my ability to experience pleasure that didn't make me dependent on her.

"Why watch porn when you're in a relationship" why eat burger when I make all the food you will ever need, abandon personal desire, obliterate the self, become one with the relationship homunculus.

[Nick Smit - Primordial Goblin @RiddleMeSmit]

@brdmoedr Can say from personal experience that it was never about the "ethics" as much as it was about policing my bodily autonomy (while she compulsively masturbated in secret to god knows what)

[Nick Smit - Primordial Goblin @RiddleMeSmit]

@Wisdom_HQ There are many ways to dunk on this but "good personality" after listing a literal personality disorder has put me in the fetal position

[Penny Allman-Payne @senatorpennyqld]

The Greens sometimes cop flak for saying there's no meaningful difference between Labor and the Libs.

Well here they are voting - together- against lifting welfare payments above the poverty line and abolishing the parental and partner income tests.

Maybe we're onto something?

@aaronsmith It's always the ones you most expect

[Nick Smit - Primordial Goblin @RiddleMeSmit]

"crossfire" a cop took aim and fired at a journalist, your employee, in the middle of a live news story.

Time to call from a search party for Nine's spine.

U.S. Correspondent Lauren Tomasi has been caught in the crossfire as the LAPD fired rubber bullets at protesters in the heart of Los Angeles. #9News

@clare_mcivor I can't believe this is the guy Jack Black's PR team thought was worth listening to

[Nick Smit - Primordial Goblin @RiddleMeSmit]

@senatorbabet Hey Ralph? You're a fucking worm.

Wasn't too long ago your ilk were baying for Dan Andrews's blood, I know you can't spell hypocrisy but we can see it.

Freeze peach or whatever you folks are always on about.

David Tennant has a non-binary child. I feel like that’s getting left out of the discourse, because somehow Kemi’s supposed right to make his child’s life hell through rhetoric and policy “as a Black woman” trumps his right to push back with any iota of incivility.

I'm a programmer and although I can't speak for all of the various LLM I have actually discovered the miracle solution in regards to generative ai in the creative field 🧵

[Reid Southen @Rahll]

Legitimately hilarious that @Adobe is giving AI credit for its 10% revenue increase this quarter when they literally upped their subscription prices by exactly 10% last November.

They've been tanking since February, this is how they bump their stock, with hype and lies.

[Matt @EdinburghDreams]

@Adobe "We’ve never trained generative AI on customer content, taken ownership of a customer’s work, or allowed access to customer content beyond legal requirements."
You did all of those things with Firefly.

[Brian Dang 🍥 @mrdang]

@Adobe Translation: "Too many of you canceled or reduced your subscriptions, so we had to respond."

[Hector Acosta @Hector_Acosta]

“We awe sowy (you caught us) 👉👈🥺 uwu, we pwomise to make chwanges, we pwomeess🥺…we pwomess we wiw be good..”

Doesent cut it. Right?
Just think for a second, if there hadn’t been no backlash, no outrage, they would have gone through it and run for the hills with the prize.

Corporate policy is to push for the boundaries of their relationship with you, and exploit it to the very edge.

The redifiniton of what property means is at the very heart of the discussion.
They will try again, and they will keep trying.

Everybody who left, should stay gone, and more people shoud just jump ship.

There are alternatives, and those alternatives should be rewarded and propped up. React with your wallet, let the market do its thing, and show them they need their clients, more than te other way around.

Everybody is tired of SaaS, montly payments, and deliberate mandated change of relationship with what you purchase. Everybody is tired of the “you will own nothing and you will be happy” world economic forum kind of thing. The slow bleed.

Accepting redefinitions like this one, and letting it go, is how you endup with a hundred subscriptions a month including the option for heated seats in your car after you bought it.

[LaurenWalshArt @LaurenWalshArt]

So let me get this straight @adobe you want full access to files created in your industry standard program that is mostly used by professionals and said work is likely under some form of NDA and no one thought “hey maybe that’s an issue”?
