What's that Cory Doctorow quote about how AI can't do your job but it can make your boss think that it can do your job?

It's fine to disagree with the IAU about the definition of "planet"; however, if your definition includes Pluto but not Ceres, Orcus, Haumea, Quaoar, Makemake, Gonggong, Eris or Sedna, you don't actually care what a planet is – you just want the exact list of nine planets you learned in primary school back. Your cute little Pluto-including orbital distance mnemonic ought to be at least seventeen words long, and good fucking luck with the Q!

i swear if this is the second stupid sword picture post i make that gets to 10k i'll just go kill someone

oh god, and i didn’t even mention how the show wrapped and then got stuck in corporate limbo for about 2 years before it was unceremoniously dumped onto streaming with not a sniff of warning or advertising to the point where the artists and actors who worked on it didn’t even know it was out. 👍 NO BIGGIE‼️

I really love when cats use their front legs to hold something in place while they use their back legs to kick the absolute shit out of it

it's not surprising, of course. to many, a dog being euthanized for attacking a person is a tragedy. poor thing was in a bad environment you see, it didn't deserve to die. and to many, every criminal should be put to death. they are inherently cruel and cannot change, any sentence more lenient than death is an injustice to their victims. why might a dog maul someone? well clearly the poor thing was a victim, it was circumstance that spurred it to violence. why might a person mug someone? clearly they have a corrupt soul, incapable and unworthy of empathy. they were spurred to criminality by their own sick nature. so to say, in their eyes, a human criminal is less human than a dog

They conceive of criminals this way, of course, because of their corrupt soul and sick nature,

One very mildly annoying thing about reading Canonical Works is that if you like them there's not really any way to say that which isn't at least somewhat silly. Anyway have any of you heard of this Dostoevsky guy I think he might be going places

*smirking* you couldn't waterboard that out of me, but even if torture was an effective method of information extraction and not a futile display of state-sanctioned sadism, the high percentage of false confessions it produces would mean that even if you could waterboard it out of me, could you even trust the veracity of my statement?

"i'm such a handler, there's not an ounce of hound in me," i tell myself as i wince every time i hear a firework go off outside my window
