Parents, please talk to your kids, especially the boys, about internet algorithms, and trolls like Andrew Tate, Peterson and Shapiro. And not once. Talk to them on a daily basis. Don't dismiss the harm these videos can do to them. Tell them they can come to you with any questions about what they 'learn' online. https://mstdn.social/@renwillis/109818326042254385

"Alright, places ladies, places. Annemarie, Suzanne, you two are in the first number. Suzanne, how about you try not to fall on your face this time? Lorraine, go see Todd in makeup, you look like a clown. And Nancy, for chrissakes, put on some underwear."

Most days I release a new image and post a link. If you follow it you're taken to that image page. To the right is a menu, links to all the different ways it can be purchased. Art Prints being the most common, under Wall Art.

If you hover the cursor over the image and click you can see how the image will look at it's LARGEST size (usually between 48" and 72") hence it never looks quite as clear.

All orders are shipped in 4 days with a 30 day money back guarantee.

You've got to re-evaluate your priorities if, upon hearing a Trump aide had a photo of a folder marked classified on their laptop, you're more interested in whether it was a Mac or a PC and whether the shot was taken with a Google Pixel or an iPhone than WTF IS SOMEBODY TAKING PHOTOS OF CLASSIFIED SHIT AND PUTTING IT ON THEIR LAPTOP???

Also one of the ways that autocracies trying to bring down democracy like to worm into people's minds. "Both sides are equally bad and neither side does anything good" is a recipe for destroying voter morale and miring citizen involvement in politics.

Has been used to excellent effect by Russian trolls and bots.

GMC Hummer EV review: bummer EV

GMC has reached the point of diminishing returns when it comes to battery size and weight. It’s some 2,000 pounds or so heavier than the Rivian R1T, thanks to that giant battery, but doesn’t even return significantly more range. The Hummer is rated for 329 miles, but the Rivian’s smaller 135kWh battery can last for 314 miles, and I don’t feel like I need a runway to bring it to a stop.

Whenever I say something awkward, I remember the time when I was seated on a plane next to a businessman who told me he worked for O’Reilly Auto Parts and he asked me if I was familiar and, on an otherwise silent plane, I proceeded to:

SING THE JINGLE

I knew it was weird, but I couldn’t stop. To make it worse, once I had finished singing “Oh oh oh, O’Reilly!” I summoned the deepest voice I’ve ever used and finished with:

AUTO PARTS

This always reminds me that whatever I just did wasn’t THAT bad, so hopefully it helps you too.

Me right now #selfie

lol cat just sprinted across the room and slid into his food bowl flipping it and making a huge mess

i love that little idiot

The audacity of hope.

I, a lowly adjunct, just publicly called out a tenured professor for using a student’s work (a tutorial she made) as the basis of a project in his class, without any mention of her.

So… I’m probably going to be looking for a new place to teach soon. If anyone needs an experienced teacher for a library school, hit me up 💜

@ScottSoCal
You’re right. I’ve used Google & Alexa too. Alexa drove me nuts with “by the way…” all the time.

Siri, however is uniquely stupid.
