@Kappa_Kappa Ok but those lyrics are AWESOME

We actually need a “Not interested, this is AI” button or a proper AI blocker. The algorithm needs to learn how badly most people don’t want AI slop.

There’s no one on Earth who needs AI slop, more data centres, or AI-assisted experience in every app, but every single human needs clean water, affordable energy, and a habitable planet.

"Trickle down economics doesn't work, so let's try piñata economics. That's the one where we beat the billionaires until the hoarded wealth falls out."

[goma @soigomaa]

we live on a planet where trees warn each other of danger through underground networks. where octopuses dream. where elephants return to the bones of their dead and stand over them in silence. where bees communicate through dance, showing each other where to fly. where flowers bloom...where crows remember human faces -especially those who were cruel to them - and pass that memory on to their young. where ants build entire cities. where cats purr at a frequency that can help heal bones. where forests, after fires, grow flowers first.

Always go to the funeral. Always go to the hospital. You don't need to know what to say.

In times of profound crisis, people don't remember your words, they only remember whether you showed up for them at their lowest moment.

the iOS keyboard and google search are the two most infuriating tech downgrades because it appears to have been purely for the purpose of demoralizing us

Me: My country is in a clown car being driven over a cliff into a tire fire.

My Algorithm: Would you like an afternoon of 90s NBA clips set to classic rock music?

Me: <wiping tear> Yeah, that’d be nice. That’d be nice.

dear apple, the iPod needs to come back. not for nostalgia. for the parents who want their kids to love music and audiobooks without a browser, social media, and the whole internet attached to it

If you loved the story of the man who goes on a blood-soaked killing spree to avenge his dead dog, you’re going to go wild for the man who is now avenging his dead father, mother, wife, child, niece, nephew and sister, murdered by an imperial power and its settler-colony proxy.

The @Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, is out with a major new research study showing that immigrants, both legal and illegal, contribute significantly more in taxes than they receive in public benefits.

And there's more: because immigrants (both legal and not) are such large net-contributors of tax revenue, they also structurally reduce government budget deficits.

What a privilege it is to come home to a little animal that loves you like you’re their whole world

For the sake of art, for the sake of music, for the sake of writing and for creation, it’s imperative that you resist generative ai in all forms.
