A few days late, but happy 20 years to "I was there when it was written"
The Chief Graphic Designer:
"Coca-Cola made an AI ad!"
"McDonald's releases AI Christmas commercial!!"
Don't care didn't ask plus here's a beautifully animated ad for a French supermarket that was made by actual artists
I don’t really Go Here but u can always rely on this man to read a right wing politician’s outfit for filth
I mean. Just devastating 😭
This man has LETHAL comebacks. Idiots keep trying to get one over on him and he has never missed
Actually no I'm double reblogging this I found the one where he *calls a guy's tailor* to confirm his suit isn't actually bespoke
You cannot win in his arena. This isn't "if you come at the king you better not miss" this is "don't fight a shark in the water"
I gotta add this one
he alerted the FBI about a january 6th rioter because he noticed their ugly shoes lol
“Is your blood also off-the-rack?”
I would never survive if someone said that to me after trying that shit goodBYE
Very useful insights! When I paint, I think about how there's blood vessels and fat underneath the skin, which helps me remember some of these concepts.
Everyone’s “straight” or a “top” until your friend rests his arm on your passenger seat to look behind you while backing up

a talking point i often see when defending the consumption of dark content is that it’s a coping mechanism for those with trauma which is very valid and true but i also want to make this abundantly clear: you can like dark content for no reason. you can enjoy fucked up shit in fiction because it’s enjoyable and entertaining. trauma is not required as a ticket for entry. enjoy your dark content bc it’s fun and sexy and don’t let anyone take that away from you
sometimes the reason is this
reblog if you love to see that shit that was fucking crazy
HOW TO TURN OFF GOOGLE AI in GMAIL:
Open Gmail in your browser
Click on the Gear Icon ⚙️ in the upper right
In the General Tab, scroll down to "Smart Features" and UNCHECK THE BOX. It is about halfway down.
Then, right below that is Google Workspace smart features. Click on the "Manage Workspace Smart Features" and make sure both toggles are OFF
I just want to make sure that everyone is aware that even if you turn this off, Google is still scanning all of that information, and from 2004 to 2017 they did it to serve you ads instead of training AI.
Google cheerfully reads your emails and looks at your photos and watches your videos and it always has and always will.
Don't bother turning off Gemini, for the love of fuck please just stop using Google.
(Protonmail is a good free, privacy forward option. Don't bother with Hotmail or Outlook, Microsoft reads your emails too. Also email is inherently insecure don't trust sensitive information to email)
telling people to stop using google isn't gonna work that well when people already have google accounts and those accounts are the only ways to use certain things (like, oh i don't know, the largest video platform in the world).
quitting google services as much as possible is great but not everyone is gonna go that far unfortunately, so it's still useful to tell people how to stop certains kinds of privacy breaches that corps like google like to pull. how long does it take to change the apps and services you use for better alternatives? you have to figure out the best choices for yourself, and that takes time normies aren't willing to waste on something they barely care about. doing the extra effort that google saves them isn't what boomers, kids and "regular people" want.
because if someone is still gonna use google, at least tell them how to minimize the awful shit.
The problem is that Google *is* a privacy violation. There's no way to use Google products in a privacy-preserving way because that's not what they're for. They exist to extract information from you. You can't minimize the awful shit being produced by the awful shit factory.
Turning off any of these features *will not* keep Google from collecting and using your data because "we get to collect and use your data" is part of Google's ToS.
The reason I find posts like this frustrating is because you can go through the notes and see thousands of people saying "Google, why would you do this without asking for permission," "Google this is a privacy violation," "i just turned this off #privacy" - people are *completely unaware* of the fact that Docs and Gmail and Chrome are now and always have been ways for Google to take your data. "Harm reduction" doesn't work as an approach here because it gives casual users a false sense of security. They think if they opt out of model training their data isn't going to be collected for marketing. This is very incorrect and it's worth saying loudly and bluntly.
You should stop using Google as much as you possibly can because every free Google product exists *only* to sell your data to advertisers.
Some stuff is inescapable - you're correct, there's not a good alternative to YouTube. But there's a huge difference between "i have a Gmail account because I need one for my android device and to upload videos to a major video platform" and "I'm putting my entire life on google calendar, using Gmail for all my e-commerce logins, and use Chrome as my browser across devices."
Hell, there's a huge difference between using YouTube logged out and in the browser versus using it as an app on your phone.
Uninstall Maps! Turn off location! Use Firefox! Store photos locally!
Ceding privacy for convenience turns out to be inconvenient! Fork found in kitchen!
Anyway if anyone is interested in more serious degoogling here's a free pamphlet on that.
By the way, the prosecution just violated Luigi Mangione's HIPAA rights and I have not seen people talking much about it
Attorneys for Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing United HealthCare CEO Brian Thompson, say Manhattan prosecutors wrongfully obtained
^for those who'd prefer text over video
holy crap, the violation’s bad enough that Mangione’s lawyers are asking the judge to dismiss the charges against their client outright; honestly considering the judge’s previous warnings and how strict HIPAA rules are it might just happen
[EDITED: mixed up the names of the judge and the lawyers when I first wrote this, the judge is just considering the request so I’ve updated the text to reflect that]
you ever heard a lightning fucking scream?
youre about to
A huge improvement on a Wilhelm Scream.
I think it's a lightning whistler. Incredibly fucking creepy.

"God never gives you more than you can handle" is survivorship bias. People who got more than they could handle are dead.
Oh, dear. I can't reblog that fast enough.
more people would exercise if this culture didn't make it absolute hell
I teach martial arts. we play games with the little kids. they swordfight with noodles and throw foam balls at each other. in the summer, we take them out into the parking lot with water guns. in the winter, we have snowball fights.
the teenagers get swords and staffs and practice knives. we teach them moves from marvel movies that they ask about. they get squirt guns and snowball fights too. we let them goof off and climb the support beams and charge directly at each other in padded suits.
sometimes parents say they miss doing things like that. I tell them, "stay for an adult class. just try it out." we build obstacle courses and let them mess around with training rifles. they chat while sparring. we scream and cheer for them when they're in the middle of a circle. and then we send them out to the parking lot with squirt guns and snowballs.
it's exercise. it's healthy. it's an important life skill. and it's fun as fuck.
This is one of the forgotten but imo super harmful symptoms of diet culture-exercise being relegated to weight loss rather than jist enjoying using and being in your body.
Don’t like the gym? Ok, go find a line dancing club. A Tai Chi class. Play Just Dance every day. Arrange a tag football team. Go to a trampoline park.
Using our bodies shouldn’t be a chore assigned in shame.
