For a long time, I thought mountain dew was caffeine free. In unrelated news I have unmedicated adhd

Absolutely disgusting from one of the largest and most prestigious medical institutions in the world

Being part of a generation that was told “Wikipedia is not a source” makes it genuinely baffling to me that jobs are now telling people to just use ChatGPT for everything.

Ya because they aren’t building them near wealthy neighborhoods

Been feeling bleak for the past week after I read an essay saying the market for middle-grade books has collapsed because kids can no longer read them. Two long-time publishers of middle-grades have shuttered, with more to come. We don’t appreciate what a crisis this is. +

Ideally life should feel like Animal Crossing. You’re hanging out. Going to the beach. Eating fresh fruit. You are a little in a hole financially but it’s fine

[𐌁𐌉Ᏽ 𐌕𐌉𐌌𐌉 @OrevaZSN]

You can’t even say “get a job” to people anymore because the market is so rough they’ll respond like, “I’ve applied to 200 jobs in the past six months, the posting was fake, the recruiter was AI, I never even got a rejection email, and my data? Probably sold.”

Underrated benefit of reading a great number & variety of books is that it will make you a more interesting person. As C. S. Lewis said, the person who doesn't read lives in a tiny world; reading lends us the perspective of a thousand lives.

Shut them all down, we can live without AI data centers we can’t live without clean water.

Not only can you 100% communicate your vision in stick figures (I have!!) but, since AI is *definitionally* plagiaristic, even if you “only” use AI to storyboard you’ll be establishing/guiding your film’s visual language with stolen/unoriginal ideas. VISUALIZE YOUR OWN MOVIE FFS

[Ash (he/ him) @Schumacher_The]

Homophobic and transphobic. Please don’t leave out that he died protecting his trans husband, Tristan.

Went to see Obsession tonight and I learned there was a 10-year-old sitting behind me in the theatre when he turned to his parent and said very pointedly "Why did you bring me to see this"

Just so you know, it may look like "Rainbow Flag" T-shirts that I'm wearing today, but I am not a gay.

Happy Pride Month! Obligatory yearly repost of the Alex Hirsch classic tweet lol

[tonedstoner @tonedstoner]

So funny that critiques of rupaul’s generative AI use are met with what boils down to “it’s so hard for queer art to be greenlit in the mainstream so stop nitpicking and support it.”

It’s not art and queer people didn’t make it, no people made it. That’s the point
