I tried AI once but it just kept telling me to call the hotlines. Useless.

Nope. When I make plans with people, it usually ends with one of us giving a 👍. I thought it meant “we’re all on the same page”.

Anything tied to a movie or TV show is probably obvious, but I immediately thought of The Power of Love from the old Sailor Moon dub. I remember swinging on the swingset singing it with my bestie while our moms held a yard sale.

The last song from Garfield On the Town also immediately puts me in mind of being a little kid sitting on my brother’s carpet, since he had a VCR.

Morning:

• 5am: wake up in my gym clothes
• 5:05: drink my pre-workout and scroll for a minute
• 5:15: sit down to put shoes on. Cat gets on my lap

This is where morning turns into a choose your own adventure game!

• 5:15: sat cat on floor and go to the gym
• 5:30: weight training
• 7:00: shower
• 7:20: breakfast
• 8:00: work

OR

• 5:15: give kitty five minutes, she deserves it
• 5:30: realize I’m running late but now I’m in the middle of some stupid task on my phone
• 6:00: I’m not going to get a full workout in anyway, I’m just going to eat breakfast now and go to the gym after work
• 7:30: time to go to work! oh no I’m still in my gym clothes
• 7:40: time to go to work!
• 7:50: oh god I forgot about the school zone
• 8:05: I want to die and take everyone on this highway with me

Night

• what the fuck
• uhhhhh
• somehow falls asleep two hours later than planned in a spot other than my bed

But if you tell people “I wake up at 5am to work out”, they automatically assume you have your shit together. 😎

I like to follow a couple reporters directly as opposed to subscribing to the local paper and wading through the fluff pieces, so that means using Bluesky.

Back when I was still an artist for my super niche internet garbage, that meant using Tumblr, then after the Tumblr purge, Twitter. Then after Musk, cohost, then after cohost… I mean, I was done with art but I’d probably be on Bluesky for that too.

Oh nvm, I wasn’t aware they’d done that. The article only talks about the outage.

ETA did anyone see this message, or have a screenshot of it? I can’t find a single article about it. I don’t mean the screenshot of the Operation Dreadnought website that’s attached to this post.

I’m dumb; can they do that? I thought DoS attacks could be done without hacking, but a url redirect would require hacking, right?

This was my philosophy, then I realized I prefer crossword puzzles and sudoku on my phone because I can do it one-handed so I can pet my cat at the same time.

I also tried watching shows on my TV instead of my phone but it’s harder to block ads.

I’m actually against AI art since creative professions are already lacking in labor rights, and it’s going to get worse now that they’re trying to make artists replaceable.

But one of the worst things about it, to me, is that it’s caused artists to start going to bat for IP laws. IP law is the reason you don’t get to finish that story you spent years on, because HBO deleted it in a tax write-off. You don’t even get to talk about what it might have been like, because you’re under NDA.

Now people want it to be illegal to be influenced by copyrighted things. Great.

Not sincerely, nah

Don’t bring them here.

No. They don’t just paste the contents of the book into the subtitles, they transcribe the dialogue and sfx just like they do for original shows. It would be pretty crappy if a deaf/HoH person wanted to experience a movie like normal but the accessibility features were repurposed for speed reading.

Also I brush after breakfast

Huh, my brain somehow added a “not” to that first sentence or something. My mistake.

I’m pregnant and it’s yours. :( What do you want me to do?

Isn’t it more because google ignored court orders to disable a piracy app on the play store?

Plot twist: reddit is one guy and all his bots.

I dunno, it just made no sense. If people find out you’re an atheist, they don’t argue with facts, they argue with morals.

I’m sorry you need to believe in something with zero evidence to be a good person/find beauty in the world/be at peace with yourself/whatever, but I can just do those things anyway. I don’t need to convince myself of certain facts for it.

I don’t actually know! Her microchip says her name is Shirley, but I tried two phone numbers and a physical address and never got in touch with her previous owner. I had been workshopping names for a while but I figure she prefers that one, so she’s still Shirley.

OT but what VPN do you recommend? I hear a lot of back and forth about which ones are trustworthy.

Man… This was actually the thing that pushed me to delete Twitter a while back, algorithm error was feeding people gore. I never even saw any of it, but the anxiety of trying to avoid it wasn’t worth it.

The way things are going, I predict by 2026 my screen time will be down to zero hours.
