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

Often (multiple times per year)

Occasionally (a couple times per year)

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

since it’s pride month, throwback to this beautiful cover and this wholesome interaction between two icons

[drarry]

Imagine being the gays at a pride event in 2004 living their lives when someone grabs the microphone and announces to the room that Ronald Reagan was pronounced dead. Can you even imagine the hype, the celebration, the pure elation

This is the Pride Month that It will happen. I feel it in my gay bones

hi any life advice for 21yo

Don't date thirty-year-olds until you are at least 25.

Having a glass of water for every glass of alcohol will give you a 50% reduction in hangover viciousness.

Bad people will use your willingness to be quiet as a weapon against you. If someone's being awful to you and trusting you'll be quiet to keep from making waves, surprise them.

There is no physical object in the world that is worth as much as your honor.

Honor is not the same as dignity. Retaining one sometimes means leaving the other aside.

Don't have any sex you don't want to have; have as much as you want of the sex that you do, whether that's a lot, a little, or none at all. Nothing you can do to your own body is immoral, unless you're doing it as an act of self-punishment.

Food is morally neutral. You do not have to earn the right to eat calories. Fat and sugar keep your brain from eating itself.

Learning to sit still and breathe--in, in, in, hold, hold, hold, out, out, out, out, out, out--can give you five feet of clear space around yourself in a maelstrom.

Find out how to make three good meals: A comfort meal you can make for just yourself relatively easily, a fancy meal you can use to wow a date, and a meal you can feed a bunch of people. All the other cooking can come later, but you can build a community on those three meals.

If you ever get to the point that things are so bleak you can see no other way forward but to die, make any other choice. If that means leaving everything you own and being a beach bum, or quitting your career, or taking up or leaving a religion, or deciding to bicycle across the country, so be it; living means more chances, dying means everything stops and you don't get to see any more interesting things. As you have not yet seen all the things that can interest you, it is better to live.

MOVE GET OUT OF THE WAY IT'S XION DAY #シオンの日2026#XionDay2026

[elodieunderglass]

Fun fact: my sibling’s partner, while idly talking about sports, was like, “you know what’s a WEIRD athlete nobody ever talks about? JOCKEYS, they’re all four feet tall and jacked and psychotic and they fight people. And they’re all Irish for some reason? My dad used to go to a jockey bar in California”

And my sibling was like “oh hey; they’re writing a book about a jockey”

And their partner was like “and they’re all Irish or from the Dominican Republic????? Why??”

And I was like “oh yeah - the weight limit has to be half the weight of the average American male so by numbers Americans don’t really ride races any more, the top flat jockeys in the USA are from Latin America. In Ireland and the UK there’s a lot of Irish and the Irish go everywhere for economic reasons and get purposefully imported to Japan and-“

And the partner was like “and they’re all four feet tall and crazy!”

And I was like “and they’re all crazy! The most injured athletes!! The athletes with no off season! The most concussed athletes! And unlike football and hockey players, they don’t get brain damage from it.”

My sibling was like, “they don’t?”

And I was like, “well no!! They don’t!! The most resilient and fastest-healing athletes for some reason. Of course, two of them die on live TV every year —-“

“TWO OF THEM DIE EVERY YEAR?”

“Yeah well that’s just the ones that die IN RACES, more of them drop dead in exercise riding but dw about it…”

My sibling’s partner broke in, in a tone of revelation; “and nobody notices them! They only see the horse!!!”

Anyway that was weird and fun . There are audiences for my bullshit everywhere I guess

[naamahdarling]

1) Japan imports Irish people

2) two jockeys die on live TV a year (average)

are both competing heavily in my mind for most surprising fact. Neck and neck you might say.

America's first sport was racing and America's first jockeys were Black. I recommend this book:

There was recently a copyright infringement case in YA and I need everyone to know that the following sentence was in the legal decision:

“Hot, sexy, dangerous boys, central to virtually all young adult romance novels, cannot be copyrighted.”

[kuttithevangu]

“Regarding setting, the court held that both works taking place in Alaska high schools was not protectable because Alaska is a public place and setting a teen novel in a high school is a common genre convention.”

I've read the entire decision (skimming over the purely legal precedent/definitions bit) and here are some of my favorite bits:

isnt it interesting how lesbians who are into media with male-dominated casts and are deeply invested in platonic or romantic/sexual relationships between male characters are really not any kind of rarity or outlier. but anyone other than lesbians or bi women being really into media with female-dominated casts and being deeply invested in platonic or romantic/sexual relationships between female characters is a rarity or an outlier. it is almost like there are some sort of structural forces that make mens' stories and feelings a matter of public interest and womens' stories and feelings an afterthought. probably not though i guess it's just an inexplicable result of completely legitimate personal taste that is above critique. oh well.
