Brittany

I’m now imagining talking in real life like a Mike Flanagan character. “Did I run the dishwasher last night? [Chuckles.] I knew you’d ask me that. You know? Did you run the dishwasher, Brittany. I should have done a lot of things last night. I thought about doing the laundry, too.”

Chat, solve cancer. Make no mistakes

Also I think it is worth noting that since I started paying for more of my Internet services, I am a much more satisfied Internet citizen

Stages of sharing my politics with friends and acquaintances: 1) I am a Democrat. 2) I am an extremely partisan Democrat. 3) Okay so 2) is more of a war stance than an accurate reflection of all my positions, much of which I don’t feel we have the luxury of arguing about in these dark times.

I’m watching a thread of people who are demanding 1) an email service alternative to Proton, 2) that doesn’t use AI, and promises to never use AI, 3) is privacy-focused (that means no ads), and finally, is 4) completely free

After the disappointing events of today, I’m calling for a total shutdown on users of this website spreading newspaper articles about AI until we figure out what’s going on here

I’m kidding. We know what’s going on here. This is a text-based social media website that struggles with basic literacy

Hmm I wonder who’s the problem here

You guys gotta watch Nathan For You

I might rewatch some of it as I stew how unable to get to the theater I am for You Can See Everything (having used up my allotment of babysitting favors for lame “working the election” reasons, like an idiot!!!)

is this what passes for climate news these days

i think there is a type of climate activist who is going to be pretty upset when the climate doesn’t end up being the thing that compels “normies” to obey or die but it doesn’t usually get illustrated this… directly

Did all the people calling for heads to roll read the article or just the headline

anthropic at worst dodged a fee (that to be clear, was probably something like $100, not $100,000) and arguably they didn’t even do that since a version of the website they did not take down (but did probably forget about) actually let them do it

maybe I do worship the good governance and human well being god. I would at least consider it

My mom was obsessed with the Dungeons & Dragons, and taped nearly every episode when it was on the air. We grew up watching them regularly, but very carefully because we knew that once those tapes wore out we would never see any of those episodes ever again
