Just watched Adam Conover (of Adam Ruins Everything) make such a solid point that I think we should spread far and wide. Yes, having AI write your emails is lazy, sure, but people love being lazy. We need to really emphasize that sending AI emails (or using AI responses on social media, or publishing AI flyers, or or or) is rude.

It's rude. You're making someone take their time to read something you couldn't bother to write. You're telling them they were so unimportant you couldn't be bothered to actually take the time to say something yourself. And frankly, you're lying about it while you're at it.

It's rude.

I know it's rare for me to make original posts these days, but AI data centers are being planned here in Vancouver, Canada. Please, consider signing or at least spreading this petition to give it some more reach.

They're planning on putting one of the centers right by BC Place, a beautiful and historic landmark in one of the "artsy" areas of downtown Van. Yes, Telus is claiming this is going to be "Green GenAI," but it's bullshit. It's all just horrific bullshit.

Sign the Petition

STOP the Vancouver AI Data Centre from being built.

There’s a show coming up, and I think I’m going to be able to eke this thing out in time to enter it!

You can probably see some lighter spots of the red; that is from where I scratched some away in order to neaten up some lines. They should even out once fired.

[avocadolaw]

We made it!

Hey does anyone have any recommendations for fantasy books with unreliable narrators? Specifically books that have come out in the last two or three years?

I’ve read the buried giant and the traitor baru cormorant and I’m looking for stuff in that vein.

Thank you!

There is something sooo deeply American going on with Seattle Children’s Hospital that I think would brick the minds of everyone outside of the United States.

[skygenders]

The CHILDRENS hospital has to restrict helipad landings because of noise complaints from the wealthy home owners living next to it. Only the most urgent patients can land directly at the hospital. While the other kids have to land a mile away and are taken to the hospital via ambulance. Which is an unnecessary risk to the child’s life and also makes the families pay for the helicopter AND ambulance.

Seattle Children’s says Laurelhurst noise concerns burdens lifesaving care for children

The hospital says some limits on helipad access add pressure when children need lifesaving care.

Apparently this has been going on for decades and is only getting traction because a pilot complained on Twitter.

all of you people who inevitably get horny for the weirdest, grottiest old man aliens on 90s tv shows (u kno who u are) need to watch Farscape so I can watch you struggle emotionally with the existence of Scorpius

[audible-smiles]

he’s the most tone-deaf, balls-to-the-wall ridiculous villain character imaginable. he’s an orphan, he’s a child abuse survivor, he’s mixed race, he has assistive tech and chronic pain, and he’s a fascist! he’s darth vader in fetish leather. he’s like if Loki was gross. he can see your aura. he has a chin thong. AND HE WANTS THAT WORMHOLE TECHNOLOGY!!!

[dreamxeyes]

And let’s not forget he puts a chip in his enemies head to get information so our main hero is stuck with an imaginary scorpius in his head that says shit like this.
