Just a friendly reminder: Minimum wage exists because they would pay you less if they could

I walk out of McD’s when the person at the counter insists I use the kiosk. I just can’t aid them in killing off the workforce of these types of jobs.

Masters Of The Universe is better than you think. Go see it. Silly and fun action adventure. You don’t need to be familiar or care about the IP or have nostalgia. And to be honest, I liked it more than that Mandolorian flick.

Kinda funny how everyone saying “if you don’t use AI you’re gonna be left behind” is using it to create the ugliest, dumbest, most banal trash you’ve ever seen

When I die, please cover my casket in my sticker collection that I bought but could never commit to applying on things

"Ramble On" is 56 years old and Robert Plant just walked onto The Late Show and made it sound like he wrote it this morning.

Saw this and now my brain hurts

The best movies were made without it, the best games were made without it, the best comics were made without it, the best stories were made without it, the best songs were made without it. And now for some reason we really need it, there's no other way.

I was going to make a list of all the ways this is bad but doing that would make me even more depressed.

Everyone is doing it so I just put in my bid for Warner Bros but I’m getting no traction. It’s like they don’t believe I have 120 Billion in a shoe box under my bed.

Tucked away in the #Pluribus credits, it reads, “This show was made by humans.” “I hate AI,” creator Vince Gilligan told Variety with a chuckle. “AI is the world’s most expensive and energy-intensive plagiarism machine. I think there’s a very high possibility that this is all a bunch of horseshit. It’s basically a bunch of centibillionaires whose greatest life goal is to become the world’s first trillionaires. I think they’re selling a bag of vapor.” Read the full “Pluribus” story from @ethanshanfeld here: wp.me/pc8uak-1lGwMi
