If you still post on X/Twitter, after this and every other shitty thing Elon has done, you’re basically complicit in it.

You know full well how bad it is. Do the right thing and leave it.

if AI companies get access to all copyrighted works for free because "it isn't possible to train an AI without it", should we not give free access to all copyrighted works to children because it is not possible to train one without it?

It is 73F in the living room. I’m freezing cold.

I don’t believe I have ever been pleased by the outcome of a sportsball game before. Certainly not within active memory.

So, I’m not really feeling well. Last week was a departmental on-site, and it seems I probably unmasked too much. Been feeling increasingly creaky and tired since Wednesday. Clearly, I need to start taking my immunosuppressed status more seriously.

this also includes
the state of the world.

386.

And the fireworks are now going off loud and close enough to set off the door-knock sensors.

If I say I’m scared by fireworks will someone come and roofie me like I’m a dog?

What do they usually give the dogs, anyway? I’m looking for something stronger than my usual here.

Hey, I saw one of those assholes with the pole-mounted camera on their car who breaks the law for views. Managed to slow him down a bit, but he ran a red light to get away from me.

Still can’t kill people with my brain, if you were wondering.

Trying to work up the ambition to leave the house. Attempts to bribe myself with corn and potato wedges seem most effective so far but haven’t actually produced results.
