My husband asked me why I whisper in the house... I said I was afraid Google was listening.

He laughed. I laughed.

Alexa laughed

Siri laughed

The refrigerator laughed.

It's every parent's nightmare, isn't it? You check your child's bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins.

Some people are too busy enjoying their lives to prove it on social media.

“‘What kind of creature defines itself by hatred?'”

You have to talk, otherwise your head turns into a cemetery.

No prosperous community wants a giant AI data center near it. The enormous, ugly warehouses, the huge drain on energy and water, the noise and air pollution, and the scant few jobs that are delivered, make data centers the worst possible neighbours. This is why they are increasingly being located either in sparsely populated rural areas or among the urban poor and Indigenous communities.

Try to live your life in such a way that people don't rush to post jokes upon hearing of your murder.

*drinking your cum but shaking my head so people know i disapprove because there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism*

ok but if your dog wasnt a secret werewolf why did my silver bullets work on it?

Everytime I go on dating apps and ask ppl what their hobbies are I'm reminded that travel is not a hobby but a class indicator.

If hurting me does not hurt you, you don’t love me. You’re using me.

Hard truth: If you wait until you feel better to start living, you might be waiting forever. Go live your life. Do it sad. Do it anxious. Do it uncertain. Because healing doesn't always come before the experience. Sometimes, the experience is what heals you.

If I built a big robot that consumed 33% of my state's electricity so it could go around stealing people's art I would be arrested, and that's how you know law is a social construct.

Girls are not machines that you put kindness coins into until sex falls out.

Organize locally. The empire can monitor the national scene, manipulate media, and crush large movements, but a community that feeds, protects, and educates itself is harder to break. It's slow, gritty work, but it's also where survival —and eventual resistance— lives.

dance like everyone is watching and this is their punishment.

Enough of nepo babies it's time for necro babies.

Personal opinion but, in fandom space, ai generated works are not fan-created contents. Because a soulless robot cannot be passionate about something nor can it be “a fan” of something the way human artists are.

Europeans get universal health care, 30 days of vacation, many have free childcare, longer maternity leave and free college.

Then americans be like: "But our billionaires are richer!"

"So, a lot of people ask me why I buy so many books. The truth is, I have a genetic disorder where my body doesn't produce enough books of its own, so I have to supplement."

“The merest accident of microgeography had meant that the first man to hear the voice of Om, and who gave Om his view of humans, was a shepherd and not a goatherd. They have quite different ways of looking at the world, and the whole of history might have been different. For sheep are stupid, and have to be driven. But goats are intelligent, and need to be led.”

Our generation thinks it's cool not to care. It's not. Effort is cool. Caring is cool. Staying loyal is cool. Try it out.

I'm gonna go check on my WIP. just in case it wrote itself while I was gone. You never know.

A reminder to all writers, you are making a progress even if you only write one sentence a day.

Courage the cowardly dog is not cowardly because that poor dog will be facing the flayed corpse of god or some shit every episode. courage the reasonably horrified dog.

Maybe "LLM enabled social cloistering"

"Single Person Cult"

Like creating a cult for just you and abusing yourself as the only member of that cult.

“Creative people have trouble recognising their skills as skills, because eventually they feel like second nature. This stuff really is valuable, if it wasn’t, people wouldn’t be stealing it. Creativity doesn’t feel special or unique until you realise people have to plagiarise it.”

Did you know that when you write fan fiction you can make characters do anything you want?

The biggest luxury now is having control over your own mind.

“Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work.”
