”So I feel like this is the perfect time for a film like this. I feel like the film has become more important and more relevant today, which is a sad thing.” – Oscar Winner Taika Waititi in the Press Room
Loving my algorithm today. It started with Jeff Goldblum Still Blooming and got onto this shit and I love it, it remind me of my hipster days with a record player and musty 25 cent records I'd buy in bulk and then get obsessed with and also have extreme allergies because I found out last year I'm really allergic to dust
My DNA bullshit #1
I was told that I have a genetic variant that causes super a lot of empathy. But also like other ones that make the empathy part a problem for me and probably everyone else around me. I can't remember exactly which they were, and I'm going to do a deep dive into the exact variants and like share all the shit
I found this while scrolling through my old posts and it gave me brain tinglies so I wanted to post it again.
Also wow my most recent posts are pre-Trump (just barely) and what a time warp.
It was still when people heard that Trump was running and laughed their asses off at the stupidity of thinking he'd winning and how stupid he would be as a candidate. I miss that dimension before we went into the Biff Tannen Bad Place Apocalypse timeline

this guy is my new hero
"The statue was three meters tall, cast in bronze and reportedly cost $25,000 to make. Bronze is one of the materials archaeologists find hundreds or thousands of years later because it resists corrosion fairly well in seawater compared with iron or untreated steel though over really long spans it will oxidize and patinate.
It mashes up Handsome Squidward with the pose of the ancient Greek Discobolus (the classic discus-thrower)."
SO everything is different now
I wanted to look back at my old blog posts from 800 years ago, and honestly as soon as I logged in I realized this is exactly what I'm in the mood for right now. I decided to finally stop giving Facebook my engagement currency, after like a 15 year addiction. I've quit before and then fell off the wagon, so we'll see.
But I'm pissed and hopefully fully done with "Meta." I only ever stayed on there to stay in touch with people, but most people have left anyway and also I'm so pissed that they were hunky dory with destroying civliization for profit (and I'm starting to conspiratorize about the idea that they did it on purpose all along for our white supremacist overlords to help their takeover), but now all of a sudden they're "super responsible" and preventing controversy (ie shutting down dissent) and I was only still on there at this point on the slim off chance that if I posted anti-Trump and awareness things nonstop that it might make some kind of difference, since I didn't feel like there was much I could do and I NEEDED to do something and not just sit around.
Make fun of me all you want with the internet talking points we've all memorized, in reality, I still think you miss 100% of the shots you don't take and I'll never regret trying.
Either way, I'm finally completely done with Facebook. But also, for the first time in my life, I have a relationship that might actually be going somewhere. How poignant that I got addicted to Facebook because the first person I ever fell in love with was on there (I'm always a troglodyte with new technologies and resisted FB, smartphones and even texting when it first came out) and now I'm leaving, partially because I know I'll be okay. I know I'll have a life, someone to love and spend time with, and someone to really experience things with- unlike the last 15 years where I was miserable and alone and needed to internet to just feel like I was talking to someone- even though most of the time you're not. You're announcing things, and that's different.
Why then am I on tumblr? Well because I'm still kind of lonely. And also I talk A LOT and my boyfriend doesn't want to hear all that. So you guys get to!!
Plus everything is different. I feel like that'll have to go into several chapters of posts to catch up on all the things that are different. But basically, I figured a lot of my shit out. Suffering, wondering, questioning- I'm still doing all that. But now I have a ton of meds, supplements, diagnoses (pretty much pick a card, any card), coping techniques that really don't work, and like 1000 leads for my now obsessive research into my own health (and DNA now!!).
I'm hyped about picking up so many years later from where I left off and actually knowing what's going on, and also having a place to dump my manic ramblings, and hopefully if I'm lucky make a few friends like the old days. Either way, gotta get the shit out of my head some way.
I feel so insane about ai. I've had face-to-face conversations with people who use it for therapy, who use it to calculate the safety of pill interactions, who use it for all their emails and grant applications and legal documents and academic papers and finance sheets and for every single question they have about the world, and if you tell them about the ecological costs they just laugh and say "I guess I've used a lot of water." and I've been in multiple gatherings of 10+ people where I'm THE ONLY PERSON who doesn't use chatgpt. it's turning me into a ranting raving pariah, because how don't you people see??? why don't you understand??????? this bullshit didn't exist five years ago, you absolutely do not need it, and it is destroying everything
Eh, the water usage part that's been going around might be a little inaccuarate. I definitely don't trust companies like Google or Amazon or whatever, but they are supposedly actively working to counteract their footprint (which I definitely am on team "offsetting damage doesn't make up for it") where they can't minimize it, and like most of the AI companies are pretty high in the percentage of renewable energy they use.
Also, datacenters weren't invented by AI companies, and there have been lots of them doing the same thing for the cloud and for other stuff for a long time now. I don't have like a PhD on the topic, but I do think it deserves a bit more investigation before believing the pop facts that seem to be a least somewhat misleading.
Using AI for anything important is definitely stupid unless you are really diligent about extreme fact checking (which basically makes the AI part pointless, and also requires average joes to be obsessive researchers like I happen to be but I don' think most people have the time or mental bandwidth to spend hours of their day researching things- which is the whole reason AI is so tempting for people.
The usefulness or necessity of AI has a lot of caveats, because in an ideal world with the right type of saftey and ecological regulations, AI could be a great accessibility tool for those with executive functioning disabilities or even just for the many of us in the impoverished classes who cant afford to pay someone to do everything for us and routinely die of medical neglect and other problems that could hypothetically be made more egalitarian in their access with the right type of AI policies and quality etc.
But of course the world is far from ideal, it's a sad possible truth that the life-saving, life-changing and honestly pretty entertaining benefits of AI might have to be thrown out with the bathwater if we cant be trusted to create it, use it and regulate it responsibly.
I literally just logged into my tumblr account, had to reset my old password and everything (miraculously remembered the old one) so that I could write about this new show I'm watching lol.
I wasn't even that into Ted Lasso. Also, I'm on the mobile app and not that savvy so I just embiggened the text and have no idea how to end ensmallen it.
Anyway how about them Ted Lasso knockoff documentary shows starring Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds
I'm baaaaaaack

every woman on tumblr should have this on their dash
And every man
Look how nobody’s yelling or arguing or making things into a competition. Look how this is to straight up educate people through a different perspective. Look how effective that makes the message.
The last one really hit me. I never really thought about something like that could actually impact a woman’s life. Damn…
new acronyms

This is the best visual representation of cosmic time I have ever seen: http://hereistoday.com/
An anon wanted to get a sense of how old Earth is compared to the universe without numbers, and someone (@naurelleaustralis) submitted it. For the best experience, click and look at the pictures. (Sorry some of these are cropped badly, I’m lazy and busy)

This may be the very moment that things in life started to be confusing, and never stopped.
We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.
