And also "This price was set by greedy fuckers who used an AI tool to figure out the maximum amount they could squeeze out of you instead of using the same tool to make your experience better and more meaningful, because they're arrogant and they think you'll just take it"
Here's the thing: people told ICE agents to use the app. People built the app. People decided what input to give the "AI tool". Whenever someone blames the AI, they're ignoring that there are people behind these tools, with responsibilities, and it's not an oversight: it's a way to protect them
Every time I have a physiology class my flabbers end up completely gasted and my ass totally tonished because honestly this life thing is completely bonkers
Until Sunday, but I'll be back next week!
I never go anywhere without them ❤️
Person sitting on a train seat, wearing large transparent glasses and a white face mask. A pair of black over-ear headphones rests around their neck. They wear a cream sweater with black horizontal stripes and look slightly upward. Behind them, a grey coat hangs on a hook beside the train window, with parts of the train interior visible.
Also: there are SO MANY sick people on the train. I'm the only one wearing a mask. We learned nothing.
Early morning light floods a nearly empty train station platform as the low sun shines directly down the tracks. The rails curve into the distance where a train approaches, framed by overhead electrical lines and concrete canopies. Warm golden light reflects off the tiled platform floor, contrasting with the cool gray structures.
Ready to head to Florence for a new batch of classes about plants, art and social studies.
There's about double the amount of people than usual on the train: I wonder how much the increasing gas prices are being a factor
YOU GET IT 😍
Ooh! Is this thocky or clacky?

Sometimes I still find bits and pieces of the Internet I grew up in and it fills me with so much joy.
😱 what kind of repercussions are there for reviewers? Shouldn't they be flagged for this kind of behavior? (I truly know nothing about the process, it just feels like it puts the whole process at risk)
This is basically how I find out we have a baseball team (jk jk)
Yeah. Mycelium will never fail to amaze me and astound me
This new master I'm doing, built around plants, is making me see the world with a different set of eyes. As a kid, a forest was always presented by teachers through the lens of competition for resources but when you actually look at it it's way more collaborative. It's never about the single plant
This looks like something out of a Wong Kar-wai movie 😍
So cool! The lineup for my insect punk band is this (drums), the zombie ant (bass), the potter wasp that paralyses larvae and lays eggs in them (guitar), and a cicada (singer)
Yeah, that's actually what I was referring to. Your ability to be in a new place and have you point a finger and just say "oh look!" is still one of my favorite things ever. The camera is an instrument but it's the music I care about
Do not tip the robots, David! They can't get back up by themselves!!! (I am so curious about Shanghai, can't wait to see it through your eyes)
With this war on Iran costing $1B per day, we are now at 4$B, an amount that would fund 3,200 five year NIH biomedical research grants.

The GWB “sir, a second plane” meme
Erm... the timing of this announcement makes sure it will go mostly unnoticed but... this is bad, right? Like, BAD bad

Foggy urban street at dusk or early morning with low visibility. A tall streetlamp glows warm orange at the center, its light diffused by thick mist. Headlights from an approaching vehicle shine through the fog in the background. Parked cars line the right side of the street, and bicycles are clustered on the left near a building. A pedestrian crossing sign and zebra stripes are visible in the foreground, with cracked pavement leading into the hazy scene
Ready for another weekend of classes and train strikes. Telling myself this is the training montage part
What the actual fuck?
I can’t imagine how it must feel for them to have their hard work used without permission or compensation. Poor dears.
Lol. But you know he actually stole a physical medal, like he took the world cup.
The only thing I want to know about the state of the union address is: whose gold medal did he claim as his?
tweet from lisa desjardins reporting SOTU might be up to 3 hours long
It’s both funny and cosmically correct that the U.S. men’s hockey chodes will have to sit through 2+ hours of rambling from their addled little king while the U.S. Women’s team gets to skip the speech and party with Flavor Flav in Vegas
Ok, you all were right. The Pitt IS that good.
Leftovers feel like a gift from my past self
