There was some time before we met for dinner. I can have a pre-dinner ice cream. And a cappuccino

There is no such thing as detransitioning because #transitioning is a misnomer. There are #surgical procedures to update the physical form to the #identity. Forced #detransitioning is #murder. 🔦🔦🔦 #PINKS
There are many arguments to be made that protecting trans people is in your own best interest, no matter who you are. I will not be making any of them because it shouldn't matter.
If you're willing to secure your rights by depriving someone else of theirs, we are not on the same side.
There is no hope in the #Democratic party. None whatsoever. #Cowards and killers. Liars all. I already voted and I did the #blue thing but I'm not going to tell you how to vote. The Democrats are garbage and the #Republicans are murderers. We don't actually have any good choices. That's reality.
There is no better corporate logo, period.
There's a third PHP2Shell bug, but it won't get an emergency fix https://www.theregister.com/security/2026/10/23/theres-a-third-php2shell-bug-but-it-wont-get-an-emergency-fix/5305208
"There can't be an AI bubble because people really like the product" is a really dumb sentence. The housing bubble didn't pop because people stopped wanting houses. Market actors oversold product to people who couldn't afford it, then defaulted. And the derivatives built upon those sales and loans defaulted with it.
The AI industry is selling things to people at a discounted price, the true cost of which customers could never afford. It's not about if the bubble is going to pop, but when.
This is not about the usefulness or impact of AI, those are literally unrelated to the issue. It's a financial problem.
There is so much #Orioles feckless idiot Mike Elias could learn from the 2 franchises in the World Series. Let's hope he's paying attention to these 3 traits they share that are hopelessly missing in #Birdland

There are cheerleading idiots everywhere on YouTube - this aint the #Ravens vs #Bengals preview for you if that's your thing. If you can't handle deep dissection of strategy and scheme, and attention to vital keys on both teams, don't click on this.

There is a Massachusetts State Police Helicopter circling Salem, MA. right now. What a stupid tactic. #SalemMa #HowToMakeThingsWorse
there is always more drama and intrigue around Lamar Jackson injuries in part because #Ravens let his contract reach bizarre extremes for a franchise QB. And then there's the bullshit "day to day" messaging. Who does that serve #RavensFlock ?

There's an interesting thing I've noticed about myself with the onslaught of hard-to-read AI prose seemingly everywhere. I am historically a rules lawyer (in my head, not out loud) about grammar and spelling, silently judging folks for ugly or clunky prose. AI writing has softened my position on this issue. LLMs write with excellent grammar, but they have no intention, so they can't ever really get to the point. They don't want anything, so there is no point to anything they say. They are generally bad writers because of it.
My fixation when reading now is on whether there is a clear point, something the author wants me to get, not whether the grammar is nice or the spelling is good.
I think this is telling me that I, and you, shouldn't use AI even to edit and definitely not to write. I suspect it makes your writing worse even while making it more grammatically defensible to an English teacher.
There are a handful a veteran #Ravens who must step up if they are going to beat the #Bengals. Full game preview here with the keys to the game

There’s a decent amount of online hype around #IWhoHaveNeverKnownMen by #JacquelineHarpman, and that was a deterrent for a long time, but after confirming it’s a really short book, I gave it a try. And I’m not disappointed. Introspective #scifi with a clear and sober pace, truly engaging and above all human. #books #bookstodon
There are two ways of disliking art. One is to dislike it. The other is

There are some days I want to just sit down, and go "Claude? Rewrite Usenet. We miss it."
Reddit was so close, but it's just deteriorating more and more.
And yes, I know, social media places are only as good as the people who are on it and who use it. Just having the tech and the system up doesn't mean it'll get used.
But man i miss trn/rn/nn.

"There’s a bat housing crisis and the solutions are adorable
Sixty-five #bats dropped dead inside a home custom-built to protect them. What went wrong? For bat moms looking for a place to raise their pups, it’s not the rent that’s through the roof, it’s the #temperature. But bat people are busy building them safer #homes: from tiny condos with #emergency exits to mini bark roosts stuck to trees."
Is there an open source log monitoring system that tells me useful stuff out of the box like whether something new has cropped up in a log that hasn't been seen before, a certain message has suddenly got a lot more frequent or a regular message has stopped? With today's ML I'm surprised I haven't come across something like that. Most tools look like they require you to craft your own queries manually, or the ones which tout 'AI' are expensive & closed.
