The fact that my coworkers mock me for being a physical vs digital media girly and tease me about being anti-tech while also expecting me to oversee our entire IT infrastructure is so ridiculous but more worrying is the fact that none of them realize it like
Please. Guys. Seriously. Wtf.

My coworker asked why I don't just use AI for something and without a single solitary thought in my brain or pause to consider tact my mouth decided to reply with "fuck no, AI can lick my asshole" and like

I am at what I thought was a generic fantasy "lets read together" event and it is definitely an ACOTAR fan romantasy thing and I am like a person who does not know a single character on the series and brought very Not Romantasy vibe books with her

If you ever have a truly shitty day, I highly recommend making risotto.
1. It's super adaptable for proteins, veg, flavour, etc.
2. It requires patience and slowing yourself down. Anxiety and anger struggle in that environment.
3. It ends with a big, cozy bowl of carbs.

As a queer millenial who read a lot of feminist literature on sexuality and gender diversity in their 20s while also spending their online hours on tumblr and ao3, I love the fact that my entire family has taken up cribbage in my adulthood. It's great. /s

WHY DO ALL THESE HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES WANT TO BE CONNECTED TO THE F-ING INTERNET? Our last landlady installed light switches that don't work properly unless you use them in conjunction with an app. I don't want a fucking app for light switches. I just want to switch a light on & off, using a switch.
"What is that?"
"Oh, that's my extra phone."
"Why do you need an extra phone?"
"All the apps no longer fit on my original one. At least, not since I downloaded this app which tells me exactly how many spiders are living in my house and randomly awards one of them a 'Spider Of The Week' award."

I find it so hard to read AI written emails. Like, as soon as I clock that AI was used my brain instantly stops taking the message seriously. I don't want to waste time reading your AI slop, thanks.

Generative AI is often justified with comparisons to the cost of Amazon Web Services ($57bn) or Uber's ($32bn) in losses, when its costs and losses are hundreds of billions of dollars worse.
And there's no post-bubble redemption story.

don’t make me tap the “for thousands of years, antisemitism has functioned primarily by scapegoating: the king tells you he is only oppressing you because the Jews have forced his hand, so you kill the Jews rather than the king” sign
It's Trump's war. Calling this "Israel's war" is antisemitic, sure, but also lets the US off way too easily.
