Cosmetics companies that experiment on animals should be boycotted, but also ridiculed; in 2023, a virtual rabbit is pretty easy to make.

I probably won't see Guardians of the Galaxy 3 because I would be worried the whole time about Chris Pratt's horrifying toe.

Watching the LIV Golf league self-destruct is going to be the only reality TV I'll ever need.

The only thing which keeps me up at night, trembling in fear, is the prospect of Trump being president again. I cannot overstate how much it horrifies me.

Unbelievable case of US defaultism, with some serious rose tinting and selective memory - childhood of 95 % of kids around the globe didn't look remotely close to this.

I do realize it was not the intent of the prompt BUT that's exactly my point. Shows you what the AI is trained on and what biases are in play when shaping our world view.

@stooovie #Midjourney is a unique poison, one for which I suspect there is no antidote.

@stooovie No, it's not. I often use Midjourney as shorthand for all the AI garbage that's out there.

Elementary school: Highly gifted

High school: Lazy

My column this week: It’s game over for floppy disks as they wink out of existence

I never did get on with tapes, but 5.25in floppies were the first taste of freedom in media for me.

@craiggrannell That was fun to read; I used to load games onto a Vic-20 from a tape and it really was a matter of figuring out what to do while it loaded. It was fun to go and hit rocks into a ravine with a tennis racquet, or whatever, knowing the game was almost ready.

If religious people want evidence for how evolution works is it really so strange for me to ask for evidence of how God works?

So tired of #liberals saying stupid shit like, “I stand for democracy and human rights,” then proceeding to blast their hate canons right into my face, because they have a problem with Muslims.

@InayaShujaat It may be that we don't hate Muslims but are desperately tired of religion in general, and the specific set of problems it engenders.

I'm staying away from BlueSky unless it becomes inevitable, and I hope that never happens.

The idea of hooking up with another Jack Dorsey sell-out at this point seems the most ridiculous idea ever.

He made his billions, he sold out to Musk, and now he wants another shot. No. Not unless we have no choice.

@davew You always have a choice. None of this is actually necessary on any level. It's just fun.

The trouble with church is that there's no way to tell who's there for the bake sale and who's there because they're deeply insane.

I'm grateful to Joe Biden for redefining the office of President after finding it badly malformed and reeking of ketchup and lies. In his candid fallibility, dedication to public service, and open, loving heart, Biden is the antithesis of the creeping fascism that has already swallowed the legs of American conservatives.

Confession: I have been on that Other Site for the last few hours talking about Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon because ... well, this is a good example of why I do miss search here. I want to see what people are saying; I want to know the latest reporting; and, yes, I want to quote-tweet NYTimes Pitchbot. Now it's OK if the community of Mastodon decides it doesn't want to be a key place for news but I'd regret that. And I'm not speaking so much as a journalist but as news user.

Gustodon,
@Gustodon@mas.to avatar

@jeffjarvis That's a solid rationalization for supporting Musk and his failed experiment. I hope you feel better now.

Read an article today about why Americans think alcohol has health benefits and it's apparently another "well the French are healthy and they do X so it's healthy to do X."

So here's your periodic reminder that France (and Italy, and Sweden, and Japan, and basically every country you've seen in a "this country is so healthy, what's their secret?" headline) has universal health care.

The secret is access to health care. It's always access to health care.

@Annalee Every second the United States exists while people's insurance is tied directly to their employer marks this country as a threat to its citizens and a failed nation.

Celebrity Twitter accounts with 1 million accounts have their Twitter blue checks back.

Twitter says they’re paying for Twitter Blue but I have my doubts.

See Justin Bieber as an example. I mean, he might be paying for Twitter Blue, but I suspect that Twitter is lying.

Pope Francis lost his Blue Check status today because the Catholic Church wouldn’t pay $8/month to Twitter.

I guess the Pope sees Twitter Blue as a needless indulgence.
