i feel like high school/middle school sitcoms set the unrealistic expectation of being able to have lunch time outside
ok because apparently i'm wrong about this, reblog with where you live and whether you got to eat lunch outside during school or not
#i'm losing my SHIT#would you like to not see a dog?#it's brown Thank you, @dreamwaffles, that's it EXACTLY 😂
JD Vance gave the pope—a member of the Augustinian order—a copy of City of God….
the only fitting response would be to give Vance a copy of Hillbilly Elegy
A lot of otherwise intelligent people are scared to criticize chatGPT because they think there is an observed pattern in history where new technology is always either good or inevitable, and people who are skeptical of new technology always look like fools, and they are scared to look foolish when AI is The New Technology That Revolutionized Everything.
I am not scared of any of that nonsense. The first reason, is that chatGPT isn't a "new technology" at all, both because it is just a scaled-up version of stuff that already existed, and because "technology" implies a thing that does something useful and ChatGPT doesn't appear to do anything useful.
The second reason, is that the people frightened of looking like Luddites assume that because we are all alive, the feared bad outcomes of new technology have never happened, and that is just completely false. New technologies have sometimes had awful impacts upon human quality of life and the environment. Sometimes, unilaterally inferior technologies have replaced superior technologies for economic or other reasons. Almost always new technologies have a mix of positive and negative impacts.
In fact, I think the uncontrolled, rapid growth of generative AI and large language models is happening because of the common belief that "new technology" is always inevitable and good. This is a new technology, therefore "developing" it is inherently leading towards Something. But instead, the amount of resources and environmental and human devastation is simply accelerating and accelerating. The new technology takes everything and gives us nothing.

thanks tumblr for taking down my piece about censorship! heres a more censored version. i think its an improvement, really
(hey. you can still see it uncensored on bluesky.)
Calling it, this is the fucking Information Age Collapse. Bronze Age Collapse 2.0. We have three or so generations of this shit while everything slowly breaks and then in 1k years archaeologists will be unearthing hard drives and cursing us for putting all our information in such shitty, easily degraded media instead of etching it into metal and stone like a sensible civilisation.
I wrote this before AI started flooding image search results and writing web pages. I expected the problem to be entirely physical (or at least when it was software, a matter of software incompatibility as software stopped being supported), in the future. Didn’t foresee us turning our own records to soup for no particular reason while we were still using them.
La-HA! hit me like a fucking drug.
I looked up the menu for the restaurant this is based on and i wanted to die.
i actually know abt cafe gratitude, u have to order by SAYING “i am [menu item]” it’s fucking insane
googling this to laugh at the website and finding out that one of the 5 locations of this restaurant is 10 minutes away from where i live is the most horrific feeling i’ve ever experienced.
the first time I ever met with a producer-level writer in LA, he told me to meet him at one of these places. I had no idea what I was walking into. the entire experience was fucking surreal.
the producer asked if I could taste the joy in my mushroom soup.
the menu got an update—now they include the “I am” in the actual name of the thing :)
I’m delighted to share with you all that because it’s 2025 so why not, they will right now sell you a $100 cheeseburger and fries with side of Labubu
question: is Rich People LA an elaborate practical joke
also why is the key lime pie made with AVOCADO custard
why not. like.
lime???
im not sure if americans realize this but "not knowing anything about other countries and their politics" is very much a USamerican privilege and not actually a sign of like. how oppressed you are
How evil and mean spirited do you have to be to say something like this to his face? Also not lost on me that this person said he’ll die and is more concerned with a book coming out than the person in their face. Talking about him like he’s a machine meant to pump out your fave thing and not a person. The book industry is so capitalistic and that’s not how art works. I hope we never get the books.
To add more context on what happened
how did a woman manage to date elvira for 19 years and not tell every single person she knows
Are you Eastern European?
no
I'm an American with Eastern European ancestry
I am CENTRAL European + Slavic
I'm Hungarian
yes

in law school, my mom took me to this stress retreat because my family was vaguely aware i was a suicide risk. and they didnt allow phones, so i brought this huge bag of books. and one of the options for "destressing" was this fake cave grotto thing, where they'd decorated a room to make it look exactly like an underground cave and the air was like -10 degrees, but there was a like 4ft deep pool in the middle that was kept super super hot, so you would just switch between the hot and cold. and they would bring you an endless supply of this weird syrupy drink thing that was like super caffeinated and tasted like sugar and mint. and so i spent multiple days sitting half submerged in this fake grotto drinking mystery liquid and reading. and i have to be honest i really did feel less stressed
something awful happening on this blog where i post arguments that historian is a proper profession and not a glorified hobby and then post news that a major us university has halted all language studies admissions (including classics and other historical languages) and is revising its entire undergrad curriculum because they deem anything not english and not ''''american'''' superfluous and not beneficent.
your anti-intellectualism does not exist in a vacuum. the humanities is not a hobby. scholars are not the enemy. administrations working with and bowing down to a fascist regime are, and this is what kills diversity and critical thought. this is another form of censorship.
