Hello, your one friend who is too woke here: There are arguably way worse long term ramifications to SEPTA getting funded by a Sports Betting app than there are to SEPTA not getting funded at all.

I know septa has negative zero dollars but they JUST shut the trolleys down and fucked up my commute for a MONTH, how are the tracks broken. its been 3 weeks.

I thought you were simply misinformed but you're clearly idealogically invested here, have a chill night.
This is flatly untrue. Studies show clearly that you can reduce overall suicide rates by restricting gun access, and people do not simply switch to other methods.
Llms are going to disrupt the secret now i guess! Trillion dollar industry revolution incoming for sure this time
Was reading @edzitron.com 's how to argue with an ai booster newsletter (very good), specifically the part where he asks where the fucking useful applications of llms are when i looked up and saw an ad for chatgpt suggesting using it to INTERPRET YOUR DREAMS
“Kennedy would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he would kill people only one at a time rather than his current ability to kill by the thousands. Why is it that killing a single person is seen as murder but killing masses is excused if you are a politician?” Dr Bill Foege
There's no excuse that matters here.
Scenario 2: OpenAI could stop its models from helping kids end their lives, but it would cut into their ability to market ChatGPT as a therapist so they refuse. The people making decisions at the company are unforgivable and should be taken down.
Scenario 1: OpenAI does not have enough control over its models to prevent them from providing detailed suicide instructions to kids who want to kill themselves. The models are a public health hazard and should be taken down.
The boy is finished! Might try to color him, but for now, it's a Yixing! #cakearts

i know these are not majority opinions, these are the writings of the most rubbery and overboiled online minds on the left, and still my heart-rate spikes upon reading
back to back with a take that said the existence "man-hating" feminists (no matter how small a faction they might be) is responsible for anti-feminist men's backlash to women's liberation as a whole. phew. wow.
"male privilege doens't exist unless all men benefit from the full set of advantages extended to straight cis white able-bodied financially stable men" is the most COOKED-ASS take on feminist theory i've seen in a while holy shit
Pink polo was MOVING.

When you picture a typical day in your childhood, what season is it? Mine is summer. I'd never considered it would be different until my wife told me her default imaginary season is fall.
Happiest of births!

“Thank you scabs!” Oh my God, get her out of here.
Cherelle Parker coercing DC33 to take a compromised bargain by threatening to force them back to work with an injunction should be considered infinitely more disqualifying for a Democrat Mayor than anything Zohran Mamdani is proposing to do.
good video, very engaging: www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_dU...
i got called out by a video last night that paused to say "if you're still watching you probably are more interested in optics than the average person" like okay MAYBE so but you didn't have to call me a nerd just because i was half an hour into part 2 of an explainer on interferometry

knowing a fair amount about the physics of light and how dna repair works, there are some new age tiktoks that give me the uncontrollable urge to sit somebody down and explain things to them at a level of detail they will not enjoy
in one of those phases where i think all of my past fic is garbage and facile and the prose is cringe i'm sure the feeling will pass but gee whiz
i'm using my pto to lie around going "uuuuuugh" so at least i'm only a little bit stressed about work!
i made it covid-free until 20-fucking-25 only for it to be like "you're going somewhere fun with your family? for the first time in literal years and years? not if u don't want to kill ur own grandma with the plague you aren't"
currently lying around sulking that I caught covid for the first time 3 days before i was supposed to leave on vacation to see my brother (who only visits this side of the globe every couple of years) and i couldnt go. we were gonna see mountains
every time a tumblr post jumpscares me with full frontal nudity i feel such nostalgia

This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.
the planes they used to drop the bombs came from an air force base right near where i grew up. we used to see those B2 planes fly over our house i thought they were cool, when i was little. like ufos but real. that's the worst part.

if sabrina carpenter wants to celebrate being a femsub with a puppy play kink, that's cool, but girl, you gotta commit! there's a wealth of imagery from the bdsm subculture; why not put on a pup mask like the rest of us bdsm freaks? unless, you know, that's not what the album cover is actually about
You gotta be automatically suspicious about any scientific claims that say some of people (even ones you disagree with) are stupid. Brain scans are not a good way to measure intelligence. Being super interested in measuring intelligence at all is a red flag
as far as i can tell the brain connectivity was measured only during the task, so it makes sense there'd be less going on in there if you're copypasting and not using your mind to come up with ideas. would be interested to compare to brain activity while plagiarizing human work vs llm content

Beyond Evil is a great show about the saddest man to ever live who acts like the joker bc he's so sad and no one believes him. One day a hot young twink comes to accuse him of murder and within a calendar year is instead begging him to be his dog. The end

and if you want a nice chill vibe, try to pick a protest that's been planned and advertised well in advance, sponsored by big orgs. they're more likely to have permits and lots of other first-time protestors. wear sunscreen and comfy shoes, bring water, and hop off the sidewalk into the streets!
it's socially awkward to stand in the street and sort of yell a bit. you can push through it! you don't gotta push through fear for your safety. if things start looking like the news and this is your first time out there, go ahead and plan to calmly skedaddle. leave the spicy stuff to the vets.
my message for anybody thinking about going to a protest for the first time is that they are mostly just kind of boring and the weather is usually crummy. but everybody there will be glad you bothered to show up. the chants are pretty easy to learn, and it's okay if you just clap along instead
the new developments on inat inspired me to make a diagnostic thread for every insect order because there's only like 30something of them. going to try and avoid exceptions and extremely technical characteristics when possible. 🧵

Masturbation is one of many fun sexual activities humans get to play with. Making a heirarchy of sex acts with solo sex at the bottom is weird and unnecessary. To have a sexually healthy society, we need to escape this arbitrary ranking and let everybody fuckin nut how they want without judgement.
"Spicy" romantasy is also a frequent target of ridicule, often under the thin guise of feminist critique. But how is it sexually liberating to tell women that having dirty fantasies poisons their minds? Women throughout history have spent long enough not getting to come!
It's easy to make fun of "gooners" jerking off alone to anime titties, but the effect that mockery has is very negative! It instills sexual shame and nurtures resentment over women "denying" access to the only socially valid form of sex.
Masturbating just might be the safest form of sex! (Please a flared base, friends.) No risk of STIs, consent is entirely within your control, no fear of pregnancy, no worries about misunderstandings or heartbreak. And it's available any night of the week! Or morning! Afternoons too!
To get into sexual politics today, we desperately need to destigmatize masturbation for BOTH men and women. We frame partnered sex as required for social acceptance and successful gender performance. Meanwhile unpartered sex is mocked as gross and pathetic. This sucks!

turned location tracking off on my phone to the highest extent that i can mostly because i don't like being spied on but i enjoy not feeling like i'm losing the ability to read a map, and looking for street signs and landmarks instead of at a dot on my phone engages me way more with my surroundings
A lovely morning, went on a birdwalk sponsored by the library, read russian postmodernism on the subway, got bagels and latkes from a hole in the wall deli that were very delicious and bubble tea from my favorite place. Happy!
The 1992 adaptation of Orlando sprang to my mind!

the life of objects prior to their placement on a storefront shelf isn't considered a consumer's business and i think that's bullshit, the damn thing didn't spring from zeus's head fully formed and sealed inside clamshell packaging
i want to know how every object i see was made and why it was made that particular way and how were the ingredients that went into it made and what is it like to be a person whose job it is to make it i'm so horny to learn about milling machines and injection molding
