Whatever Comes to Mind

every time trump does something just because he can there are always democrats in the comments of the articles asking "how is this legal???" and how many times are you going to ask that question. literal lucy with the football shit

im surprised nobody has tried to mechanical turk a self driving car yet

it rly is insane how even more aggressive the major tech industries have gotten in terms of outsourcing manual labour to foreign nations. more and more companies are just going mask-off with their facade of "revolutionary AI" just being piloted by someone in Asia or Africa who is either skirting the poverty line, or already under and struggling to stay afloat. like i am struggling to find the words for how outrageous this is. honestly sickening

pretty sure i just lost my editing gig to ai. hate and fucking war on planet earth.

like they've already made it very clear by a) ghosting me for months and b) getting my colleagues to train their stupid new ai. like i only know about this because one of my colleagues tipped me off. i imagine they're waiting to get it working before they formally let me go and fuck that. i am literally drafting my resignation lmao

ex-boss backtracked and ended up asking me if i'd come back not as a freelance contractor but on an actual employment basis.

shoutout to all the people reblogging the version of this before my rejection letter. and especially shoutout to those people saying they're happy for me and that there's justice on this earth. i regret to inform you that my version of justice means choosing violence.

This is a thing of beauty

Was trying to make a joke about TV writing to my friend the other day and had to pause and go "...does the phrase 'surf dracula' mean anything to you?"

image description: tweet by @/topherflorence, reading: back in the day if u did a tv show called surf dracula you'd see that fool surfing every week in new adventures but in the streaming era the entire 1st season gotta be a long ass flashback to how he got the surfboard until you finally get to see him surf for 5 min in the finale /end description

"You can't ship those characters because they have a problematic height gap" well, strictly speaking we can't ship one of them. The other is well within the size and weight limits of most domestic parcel couriers.

No Alvin I don't think you can say that word, I know it's part of the original lyrics but Simon is right you're gonna make a lot of people uncomfortable

Oh and to add to this: no, I don’t really think there’s any good way to, like, rehabilitate this one. Like any sort of rephrasing from the original is still ultimately going to have the same roots. I don’t think you can swap out “wolves” for another animal or concept and then have it be okay, I do think the phrase just needs to be abandoned entirely. Just pointing this out because I’ve noticed when people learn that a joke or statement is in some way anti-Indigenous they love to try and workshop on how the basic premise can still be salvaged—like what people have being doing for ages with trying to find replacements for white people calling things their “spirit animal”. And it’s just kind of exhausting to see. Sometimes you need to just let things go and/or accept that certain things are not for you!

the no kink at pride thing is really funny bc have you ever heard anyone say “no kink at halloween” or does everyone just think queer people are uniquely perverted and should be censored 🤔 i think it’s the latter…
