I’m not astrology but god I love Scorpio stereotypes. I like that the zodiac has a cartoon supervillain sign.

sorry I can’t hang out today I have to plan a graveyard orgy ritual for my mystery cult. soon my dark purposes will be fulfilled. you know how it is with sinister puppetmasters… ah ha ha ha.

“Scorpios are just popularly misunderstood! They’re not evil, they’re not sex maniacs, they’re not secretive manipulators with vindictive—”

GUARDS! consign this idiot to my scorpion pit. he’s trying to ruin my reputation. no not the regular scorpion pit the scorpion pit in which all the scorpions have boners. what?! well give them the arachnid viagra then. jesus christ. impossible to get good help around here.

this has happened to me too (as an adult) and I’m always like??? do you have no survival instincts??? what kind of idiot just goes around announcing their enmity towards a class of person that 1.) cannot be identified on sight 2.) comprises roughly 10% of the population and 3.) they believe to be uniquely conniving, vindictive, secretive, manipulative, and prone to petty vengeance and intense grudges???

if you genuinely believe in astrology and think that Scorpios are Evil™️, I don’t think you want to get on their bad sides if you can help it. right? right??? I don’t get it! why make unnecessary enemies with people who haven’t even wronged you yet? why make unnecessary enemies with people who haven’t even wronged you yet and also have pits of boner scorpions? and why do they before you know who they are, thus allowing them to begin secretly plotting against you?!?!

anyway I did begin secretly plotting against him but that had little to do with our respective star signs

#unfortunately I am a weird softie and when I was younger I was like NO but I don't want to be EVIL. Need to get on this person's level

looking for animal references on image searches has always kind of sucked but it's much worse after AI image generation technology has begun to actually past muster, which is why i always just go straight to inaturalist. can't recommend this highly enough. you get to both find out about niche species you've never even heard of and also see some really good photographs like this one

Idk which of you weird gay nerds needs to hear this but I just read "machamp" and my brain went "yeah. Marcel Duchamp's nickname."

Did you know the original of the fountain is missing? Thats hysterical. It could be anywhere. Watch out

What are you reading rn, why are you reading it, and what format are you reading it in (physical book, ereader, on your phone etc)

#Reading Asako Yuzuki's Hooked on paper at home and ereader on the bus #She's so good at writing how the need to fulfill social pressures is disastrous for creating meaningful relationships #This one has stuff about blog culture that is still really relevant in examining influencer culture

So living in a hotbed of those "stop hiring humans" ads has led me to make interesting observations as these ads grow and evolve (or don't). There's been an uptick of other AI companies trying to pull a "not like other AI" by using slogans like "Hire more humans!" (to advertise their AI hiring software) or "Stop AI slop!" (with the implication that their AI thing keeps the output from being slop). It comes off as desperate as it sounds.

And then what I'm pretty sure is the original "stop hiring humans" company just released a new one that says their uncanny looking AI woman "mogs" over... I forget the wording. Which, I knew from the outset that they made those ads to childishly rage bait (when they initially came out, they were positioned by a hotel where the union workers were on strike, which yes, makes those somehow even worse and more ghoulish). But like, wow, they are childishly rage baiting. They are the epitome of that infuriating troll logic derived from school yard bullying where any objective analysis of their behavior leads them to feel they've succeeded because "you mad, bro?"

So it's going great.

#I'm also fairly sure the 'hire more humans' one is from the same company that had a breathtakingly racist/xenophobic and misogynistic ad out #not everything's a disaster here; don't get me wrong #There's a lot of beauty and really good people who are trying to keep the soul alive #but it's depressing

do you think the pieces from chess are all actually mad at each other or are they just like actors

Last time this came around I showed my three year old and he said "He's little like me!" and stared for a whole minute (v. Long in toddler time).

This what I mean when I say science writing is terrible and you need to actually go back to the academic publications themselves to get what’s going on

Frequent enough issue that there's a greeting card about it...

#Out: San Francisco has Karl the Fog. / In: San Francisco fog has entire microbial ecosystems living in it! A whole tiny world!#(obviously I don't know if SF was involved in the research; we're just known for our fog)
