My new social media app is called Grouse. You can only post criticism of the 3,000 other new social media apps.

Posts are called “Gripes.” No likes or reposts—just one button to “Commiserate.” If a Gripe receives enough Commiseration it’s elevated by the algorithm into a “Complaint.”

Also there’s an academic version called “Faculty Meeting.”

Literally every argument about AI risk is entirely made up from exactly nothing. All the terminology is fart-huffing. It has the same evidentiary basis as a story about floopflorps on Gavitron9 outcompeting nuubidons.

Here’s a related comic strip to keep you interested…

Imagine being so hated people are willing to go back to the billionaire who sold their data to fucking Steve Bannon and the Mercers.

Me: I went to the pet store to buy a frog but they tried to sell me a lizard instead.

The Supreme Court: Was the lizard gay?

Me: I have no idea, it was literally a reptile.

The Supreme Court: Thank you for bringing this to our attention, we will now make it illegal for gay people to vote.

As an American, one of the things that gives me a feeling of kinship with the Ukrainian people is their courage in refusing to accept a future determined for them by Putin, and their resolve in fighting for their freedom despite the odds. That includes fighting to make a free country for all Ukrainians, including marginalized ones from their LGBTQ communities.

It saddens me that @timkmak lost subscribers because he highlighted the stories of Ukraine's LGBTQ community in his reporting. I've subscribed and encourage others to do so, too.

could have spent a full year spitballing how musk was going to kill Twitter and couldn’t have come up with anything close to the unbelievable dipshittery of “users can only read 600 tweets a day” like, what do they put in billionaire cocaine anyway

“A Kansas woman says she was ordered to leave the restroom at Wichita Public Libary's central branch after taking her nonverbal and disabled adult son into it with her, reports The Topeka Capital-Journal. Kansas recently banned people from using bathrooms and other spaces not designated for their assigned birth sex, a law plainly targeted at trans and intersex women but also useful for keeping disabled people and their opposite-sex carers at bay.”

SERIOUSLY, LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW GREAT SANDWICHES ARE. I LOVE 'EM. ALL KINDS.

I'M NOT A SANDWICH PURIST. YOU CAN SHAG A FEW CLOSE CALLS INTO THE ROUGH AND IT'S STILL A SANDWICH. I AM NOT HERE TO GATEKEEP YOUR IDEA OF WHAT A SANDWICH CAN BE. I AM SIMOLY HERE TO CELEBRATE THE IDEA OF A SATISFYING HAND-HELD MEAL.

Both Twitter and BlueSky - backed by untold amounts of money and white tech bros - are down.

Mastodon - run by trans furries and femboys high on anxiety - is running just fine.

Hey journalists: want a fun story? Look up all the people who filed amacus briefs against student loan forgiveness and cross reference that with the PPP loan forgiveness database.

It is simply astonishing that companies are embedding technology into search engines that makes them vastly, vastly worse at finding accurate information.
