alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?

under 18, AI is a net positive

under 18, AI is a net negative

18-29, AI is a net positive

18-29, AI is a net negative

30-45, AI is a net positive

30-45, AI is a net negative

46-60, AI is a net positive

46-60, AI is a net negative

over 60, AI is a net postive

over 60, AI is a net negative

Remaining time: 5 days 6 hours

[odyver]

Question 2/3

How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?

Frequently (multiple times per month)

Often (multiple times per year)

Occasionally (a couple times per year)

Rarely (once every couple of years)

Never :(

Remaining time: 5 days 6 hours

[odyver]

Question 3/3

If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?

under 18, more inclined

under 18, less inclined

18-29, more inclined

18-29, less inclined

30-45, more inclined

30-45, less inclined

46-60, more inclined

46-60, less inclined

over 60, more inclined

over 60, less inclined

Remaining time: 5 days 6 hours

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

[ID: Screenshot of a Youtube video titled Raccoon Birthday Party. The video is filmed with an old camera in low, grainy quality, and shows a raccoon in a powder blue party hat and a matching shirt sitting at a table. It has a paw on the flower-printed tablecloth. There appears to be a brown food in front of the raccoo, like a cake. On the right corner of the video, the video is dated, “PM: 6:04, MAY 25 1997.” END ID ]

happy birthday to the raccoon ever

it’s actually quite easy to take over a small local government group if you really want to, bc if you volunteer consistently people will just put you in charge of whatever. I’m now one of like three people at a nature preserve making official decisions about trails, events, putting in a prairie, and designing a series of illustrations for a storybook trail etc., and it’s just because last summer I started coming over once a week to help the naturalist out for a couple hours. Mine now. you too can steal an organization and shape it to your will 🫵

[penpaladinjules]

Two of my friends and I have taken over the local guild that runs a large portion of charity events in our town. We’re changing bylaws and setting new policies and coordinating with other groups. All we did was volunteer, and they practically strongarmed us into accepting the president, vice president (me) and treasurer positions. VOLUNTEER, KIDS. YOU TOO CAN LET THE SMALLEST AMOUNT OF POWER GO TO YOUR HEADS.

co-sign. Decisions are made by the people who show up.

[jackkdaniels]

when i was a kid i decided that killing people was bad therefore war was bad therefore the military was evil. and adults would tell me it's more nuanced than that and i would understand when i grew up. well i'm a grown up now and idk i still think that killing people is bad and war is bad and the military is evil

“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know

Sorry for us politics posting, but we have until May 22, 2026 to submit public comment to the FCC:

More info from GLAAD:

https://glaad.org/fcc/

They have some good tips about writing a comment and protecting your privacy which, fuck it, I'll just paste here:

Providing an email address is optional. If you have concerns about privacy, you may use your initials or public address in your local area, such as City Hall. Do not use a joke name. It diminishes the comment’s credibility.

Your submission does not need to be long. A single, well-reasoned paragraph is sufficient.

Do not copy/paste a template comment. The FCC values unique perspectives, and an original comment carries significantly more weight in the public record. You can explain why this matters to you without revealing private or sensitive personal information.

Here's what I said:

“Free speech is a fundamental American freedom. I do not need a warning about seeing queer people, much like I do not need a warning about women, veterans, or any other group of people.”

Here's the link to submit your comment by May 22:

You ever think about how there was a bipartisan bill in Congress to unfuck the shitty savings cap on disability, which would have been huge for the people on SSI in the US who live in poverty because of it, but it was killed by ONE ASSHOLE.

I think this man, Richie fucking Neal, should get his foot run over by a wheelchair and have paint thrown on his car by the neurodivergent artists fucked over from conventional work every fucking day of his life. Reblog if you agree!

[titleknown]

Also, fun fact, he fucked over efforts to create a national system of family/sick leave to appease his corporate donors.

And by "fun fact" I mean "I think we should kill this man with hammers."

Funner fact, he’s up for re-election this year and Massachusetts primaries are in September, so if you’re in the area you can help wipe this shit stain off the House floor:

“Be MANLY! Stand up for yourself!”

“You mean be assertive?”

“Yes! MANLY!”

“Women can be assertive.”

“We’d rather they not, though, so we encourage the idea that it’s ‘manly.’ We want to perpetuate self-serving gender roles, you see.”

For anybody not caught up: Tennessee just passed a new map that pretty much makes it so black neighborhoods have no power in local votes. Two things about this. While protestors were chanting "No Jim Crow", white Tennessee lawmakers were caught laughing on video. On top of this, Representative Justin Pearson and his brother KeShaun Pearson were arrested for trying to give their takes on the matter (which is not only their legal right but literally his job). If you give a shit about black people, help fight this. We can't allow a return to Jim Crow.

[icemankazansky]

Heyyy guess where I live

A local paper had some great photographs, all taken by Nicole Hester:

The day before, Rep. Justin Pearson tries to attend a Senate Committee meeting and is barred access by the Sergeant at Arms.

Lawmakers and protesters link arms as the descend the capitol steps.

Once inside the chamber, Democratic representatives continued to stand together with arms linked.

They continued standing together with arms linked as votes were cast.

Democratic representatives take a group photo protesting the redistricting.

Rep. Justin Jones burns a photo of the Confederate flag with the words, We will not go back.

And stomps the ashes.

KeShaun Pearson being escorted from the building by the Staties.

KeShaun Pearson (left) being taken into custody. Rep. Justin Pearson (right) showing his support of his brother.

Additional information: State lawmakers have been gunning for Pearson and Jones nearly their entire terms. Most notably, in 2023, the House expelled them for participating in a protest at the Capitol. Their districts had to have special elections to have them reinstated.

Pearson is one of the plaintiffs of a lawsuit seeking an injunction against the redistricting.

The city most affected by the redistricting is Memphis, where locals are fighting against xAI's data center, which has been operating with very little oversight and is poisoning the people who live there. Here is a previous post on that with more information and more sources.

Hehe now I can get to ask you stuff. Anyway, I am very much enjoying Air! It is very much like the Persona series in that I kind of have more criticisms than compliments, but those criticisms are Interesting and there is a foundation and a half to these characters. I know I'm less than a third of the way through: 31st July, working at the clinic. Know absolutely nothing about what the rest of the game could be about, but I am currently thinking of how Hijiri and Haruko have the complete opposite problems, and I don't think that'll ever be acknowledged. So, what do you think would happen if they met? Would it be an absolute disaster where they make each other worse, or would they manage to help each other? Or is this a situation where me not knowing anything about this game is making me have the completely wrong idea of it lol

In Haruko and Hijiri's cases, they would at best be casual drinking buddies, but the moment Haruko drunkingly lets on about her home situation Hijiri would be like "ah I see" and probably see if she can have Misuzu do some errands for her. That's about all I can say without spoilers. I'll just say Haruko's shit will be tackled later in the game esp in the final section of the story. (There's 3: Dream which is the 3 heroine routes, Summer which is the backstory, and Air which provides the finale.)
