@nova where she go?
Today @emptywheel told @nicolesandler the horrible story about how #ElonMusk's #Grok is being used to create Child Sexual Assault Material. Musk is the GOP's TOP funder & he's under investigation for his LLM creating CSAM. The GOP candidates should be asked about this. Marcy wrote about it here https://emptywheel.net/2026/10/13/gop-accepts-296m-bribe-to-protect-african-immigrant-csam-purveyor/

I need a coding project that isn't work so I can actually have fun again. I hate agentic coding so much. >_>

Which password is the MOST secure?
@catsalad
This is a tough one, because 68 is the least funny number, which makes it hilarious.
Been trying to tidy up the living room, but that cats still won't let me throw away this old cardboard box.
And of course after I took the photo of Simon sleeping in the box his brother came to see what I was doing.
So Trump, Hinson, MAGA think kids go to school in the a.m., every school's vast, fully-equipped med center performs major surgery minus pre-surgical hormone therapies or other treatments/procedures, and poof! new kid/new gender at 3 pm.
All IN SECRET! 🤫
These bigots are NUTS.

@inquiline sorry, I got the chili with extra cheese and onions
UCI Health just sent me a survey asking about my experience.
Do I use this as a chance to rant about how the newest hospital building, which promotes health and wellness, doesn't have a publicly accessible staircase and makes you take the elevator unless you have the receptionist get you a security escort?
(I didn't make the poor receptionist do that, but I did express my displeasure that UCI higher ups would think this was a good idea. She looked at me like I had three heads. Apparently wanting to take the stairs is weird)
I guess in some ways I'm still waiting for the future, for my dreams to be possible and life to become amazing but humanity doesn't want to step into the future, they want to cling to the past. They want to cling to the chains, the hatred, the divide for reasons of greed.
The solution isn't to have more of the cake but to bake more cakes so everyone can have as much cake as they want. Humanity sucks because they want to have more than others instead of everyone having loads.
@Asuyuia I think it's important to note that humanity is really really divided -- or at least that's been my observation -- as far as how much they care about building a better future.
(I have a whole rant-lecture on ideas for overcoming this problem, but I'll spare you for now.)
@sargoth @ajroach42 today the corporation cares very much about it. tomorrow the corporation dumps it in the east river. live accordingly.
I was just reading about the conspicuous consumption of the 1920s as wealth concentration reached extreme levels.
And then I saw a video of that absurd roadster.
Schadenfreude. He bought dying assets of a dying industry, mass media. His own doing.

@tedmielczarek Yeah it's like recommending a Finnish sauna experience. "I alternated between a crucible and breath-stealingly cold immersion for a few hours, occasionally flagellated by birch branches. I emerged disoriented yet more conscious than ever of the spaces between and within us. Now playing in select cities"
@brainwane this metaphor hits extra hard because I was in Helsinki just over a month ago. 😂

How can a mother save her family while watching their lives fall apart, piece by piece? 🥀
Mahmoud is fighting a life-threatening infection. Sham is sick. My girls’ grandma needs meds. My daughters are hungry, and Ariam needs milk and diapers. We could lose the land our tent stands on if we can’t pay the rent.
I’m exhausted, terrified, and don’t know how much longer I can hold us together. 💔
