Alright, making and pinning this post and linking it back to AO3 as an update on Much Older.
At this point I have to put a hold on updates. The only thing I can say for sure is that I want to finish this fic so that the next posting should be the last. I will continue to whine abt this on bsky lol

I want to make an update on this just because I feel more and more awful every passing day that I can't sit down and finish the fic. Things are possibly settling into a more predictable pattern at work and also I am now shopping to replace my broken laptop.

On the same day Netanyahu was on stage at the UNGA attacking Hasan Piker for his remarks about 9/11, Brett McGurk, national security advisor in numerous US administrations, was on a stage helping Syria’s new president dodge questions about his past pledging of allegiance to the perpetrators of 9/11.

Try to live the kind of life that will make war criminals hate you.
Netanyahu directly attacks Zohran Mamdani (and his wife) from the UNGA podium, calling him the "antisemitic mayor of New York City," parroting The Free Press's stories about Rama Duwaji, tying Mamdani to Hasan Piker, and claiming the mayor is "buddies" with Hamas.

Burn OpenAI to the ground.
Just when I think I can’t hate OpenAI and Sam Altman any more, new details come out about how ChatGPT helped a shooter plan one of the worst mass shootings in Canadian history in Tumbler Ridge, BC.
OpenAI made an explicit decision not to report the user to authorities.

I don't have time to write more, but ICE is working to remove people to third countries in violation of D.V.D. v. DHS. I've been up since 5:20 A.M. working with two other attorneys to prevent our client from being shipped out. If you rep someone at risk of third country removal, check on them NOW
BREAKING: The plane appearing to have been scheduled to fly third-country nationals to 3 African countries today—before an appeals court prohibited it last night—has taken off, landed at Gitmo (Somalis in ICE camp there) and is now in San Juan, a common refueling stop for ICE flights to Africa.

If you're like me and on iOS, and got locked out of 18+ servers, but you're classified as an adult, go into the discord web app and recheck the age restricted servers on iOS. Even if it's already checked, uncheck it and check it again. That should solve your issue.

Force Majeure is generally used as a kind of “act of god” measure for energy companies when wars or weather makes it impossible to deliver service. In this case Oracle is using it as a means of saying it shouldn’t pay in the event the data center isn’t ready. It is completely unprecedented.

I am never further from redownloading Instagram or finally creating a TikTok account than when someone sends me a video and the browser version won't let me see it. Might as well be a corrupted file or a 404 link. Simply does not exist to me.

On my fucking life, I was hanging out with my brother and SIL this weekend, i was sitting in the backseat of their car when a friend of theirs strolled up. They shoot the shit for a while and half of it is "well, chatgpt told me [xyz]." Eventually this prompted "AI is so great, I use it all day."
