honestly, I have no clue how people find time to read so many books. I want to keep up more with new releases in my preferred genres, especially indie stuff. but between a 9 to 5, loads of personal stuff, and being chronically ill, I'm just too tired half the damn time. 💀

I’ll be blunt, yall look dumb when you willingly post an ai overview as a response when asked for your source.
The press called Betty Shabazz, Coretta Scott King, and Myrlie Evers "the widows." Between them, they held six degrees, ran three national institutions, raised sixteen children alone, and spent a combined sixty years fighting for justice their husbands didn't live to see.
...but folks SWEAR up and down that we're all ignorantly fearmongering about AI.
lol.
I don't even know how AI tech would make some BS like this happen, but good luck. 🛌🏿
"we have to make loud music corny" has me hollering but I guess that proves his point lmao

electricity and water are must-haves for survival in the modern world...please don't tell me they would try to make some shit like "AI meters" mandatory or a built-in cost for everyone? 🫠
Two Live Nation Entertainment Inc. executives bragged about the high fees the company charges fans at its venues, joking in internal messages that the company is "robbing them blind" and that "these people are so stupid" that "I almost feel bad taking advantage of them." In a series of chats from 2022, Ben Baker and Jeff Weinhold, two regional directors of ticketing for Live Nation amphitheaters, boasted about their ability to raise so-called "ancillary fees" - like parking, lawn chair rentals and VIP access - and still get concertgoers to pay for them. In one exchange, Weinhold gloated about raising VIP parking costs at a Virginia concert venue to $250. "These people are so stupid. I almost feel bad taking advantage of them," Baker wrote, adding later, "I gouge them on ancil prices."
Oh.

though, I don't think anything will top that post I saw on here of someone saying that all 40-50 million mentally ill people in the U.S. must've voted for trump.
y'all love talking about mentally ill people like animals. that train is never late.
would it truly kill you all to STOP demonizing random mental illnesses in your efforts to insult trump? this article is a mess. why do people with BPD need to catch strays behind this?
Being bullied growing up is either going to make you an asshole or more empathetic.
Just gotta choose wisely.
I don't even like this song but it's been stuck in my head since last night. thanks a lot to Prince's YouTube channel for posting a Short of this mess lmao

The danger to my job from AI isn't that AI can do my job, it's that my job is made even more precarious by the way AI is shaping ideas of the value of work. It can't do my job, but it can be part of convincing people (incorrectly) that my job isn't necessary.

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

Just walked by a colleague's classroom after my class finished and he was talking about Elvis, getting blank stares and so he had to ask "Does anyone know who Elvis Presley is?"
It's rough out here on these teaching streets.
