I hate the framing of breast implants as “fake” or opposed to “natural” boobs. I want positive words for both. I’m going with boobs that are “homegrown” or “modern marvels.”

problerms, problerms
problerms all day long
will my problerms turn out right or rong

...can you possibly avoid this horrifying situation? Be sure to have some cucumbers ready if you meet a kappa as it's their favourite treat and can distract them long enough to allow you to escape. Alternatively, a deep bow should do the trick. Out of politeness, kappa will bow in return and the water will run out of the bowl-like dip on their heads, causing them to lose their energy and collapse.

Confession time:

I was a free speeches absolutist teen. I think many young people latch on to this, but I couldn't conceive of anyone doing anything that would protect me-- had a lot of experience being shut down & told to be quiet.

That's kind of where my heart has always been. Even on twitter I hardly ever blocked anyone. Ever. But, part of growing up is recognizing it's just not practical or reasonable.

I'm a reluctant fan of moderation and I came here kicking and screaming. 🧵

@JamesGleick ChatGPT has absolutely no concept of objective reality, and without that, there is no truth. That is to say, it's not capable of actively creating truth or lies, it's just stringing words together based on a very large dataset it has been fed. That dataset is almost certainly full of stuff that many / most would consider 'not true', so I'm inclined to go with 'inevitable'. (For what it's worth, I'm pretty firmly in the 'parlor trick' camp when it comes to my impression of ChatGPT.)

Wednesday, a deer walked into a store in Colorado. The shop owner gave her some cookies. After leaving the store, she returned after half an hour with her entire family.

anytime someone says anything in trochaic trimeter (STRONG-weak STRONG-weak STRONG-weak) i can't help following it up with "I MADE IT OUT OF CLAY"

There's a housing crisis in many cities. But cars can park free. Why not claim public street-space for those who need it? If you disguise your shelter as a polluting, duly-licensed private vehicle, like artist Michael Rakowitz did...
...the authorities should be fine with it.
