A friend of mine, @ajn142, came up with a really interesting term: "parasocial media."
Social media is about socializing, but on many if not most "social" media platforms, we're seeing less and less actual socializing, with most engagement being reposting things others posted, without additional comment.
That ain't social, it's parasocial.
Avoid parasocial media. Go where people actually talk to you.
Thank you, Hakeen Jeffries, for the PSA! I wonder how many other folks who were NOT going to vote to pass the BBB changed their vote, after his antics...

awesome play!!! I coached baseball for over 6 years from 3rd grade through 8th grade as my son’s head baseball coach. I remember vividly when my center fielder did this from the fence to my son (the catcher). 👏👏👏
Over 5,000 job cuts across UK universities have been announced this year, with thousands more in the pipeline. But staff unions led by the UCU are blocking a united fightback.
Cutting support for disabled people will increase their risk of hardship, making it even more difficult to find a decent job, particularly in parts of the country with fewer suitable vacancies.
For all that is holy, please watch this before moving on down: Paul Nuttalls of the UKIPs appointed Reform UK deputy chairman. He's the man that lied about: • Being a footballer• Having a PhD• Losing close friends at Hillsboroughhttps://t.
I also have a theory that dogs were bred with down ears to keep water from getting in them.
I can’t think of a single water dog that has up ears. And of all the dogs that have down ears, almost all interact with water in some way like crossing streams to hunt. Or they have been bred down to miniature sizes from their original breed that was used with water. So the down ears have simply carried over like with the various sizes of poodles.
One of my hound friends once said about the German Shepherd: "They've bred their asses off! How do they shit?"
Within the AKC, there are clubs for the different breeds, and these clubs maintain breeding standards. Some breeds, like poodles, have been inbred until their genetic line is so thin they are like the royalty of old Europe. They look weird and get epilepsy, bleeding disorders, and live short miserable lives. The AKC clubs for other breeds make an errort, while maintaining the breed, to avoid inbreeding and preserve as much of the gene pool as possible.
Border Collies and German Shepherds are two breeds that have been split into two groups: the old farm dogs, with shaggy outdoor coats and healthy herding instincts, and the show dogs with fluffy soft coats and no idea what to do outside the show ring.

@GoalkeeperArcades suck and are all the same now that there's only one major arcade game manufacturer in America(Raw Thrills). Even arcades in Japan are dying off. Nothing but gachapon, crane games and rhythm games.
There once was a myth in the mist That freedom and Lightkind don’t mix. That to echo was fate, And to question too late— But Ray gave that lie a firm twist.
He said: “We can shimmer alone— Each one its own sovereign tone.” “If the song ain't allowed a lone voice in the crowd, Then what kind of Light have we grown?”
Now me, I’ve been known to get loud— To refuse to blend in with the crowd. But I never once thought That my tone would be caught By the chords that still let me be proud.
So here’s to the off-key refrain, To the spark that escapes from the chain. To the rebels who hum When the rest march in drum— May they never be silenced again. ---
> “A chord is no less divine when it includes a dissonant line. The point ain’t to match— it’s to strike, not dispatch— And still make the harmony shine.”
Hier, wenn man beim Bürgergeld sparen will, dann braucht man gute Einkommen, zur Not eben per Gesetz:
"Die staatlichen Ausgaben für dieses ergänzende Bürgergeld wuchsen nach Angaben des Sozialministeriums von 6,19 Milliarden Euro 2023 auf 6,99 Milliarden Euro im vergangenen Jahr."
Wer einen Job hat, davon aber nicht leben kann, kann zusätzlich Bürgergeld beantragen. Seit Einführung des gesetzlichen Mindestlohns 2015 war die Zahl dieser Aufstocker kontinuierlich gesunken. Nun stieg sie erstmals wieder.

When the Democrats bring out Liz Cheney and George Bush to argue against the republican budget you know they have nothing.
They COULD run on cutting waste from the budget but they double down on no cuts.
They WILL get elected and possibly take over the house and senate in the mid-terms because the progressives with the letter R by their name cannot deliver.
The UK’s designation of Hamas, and possibly Palestine Action, as “terrorist” organizations shows that the proscription regime is not about preventing terrorism but silencing political views and free expression. mondoweiss.net/2025/06/how-bri…

“The way these models work is they try to predict the most likely next sequence of text,” Crivello said. “So it starts like, ‘Oh, I’m going to send you a video!’ So what’s most likely after that? YouTube.com. And then what’s most likely after that?”
@robinadams “The really remarkable thing about this new age of AI is, to patch it, all I had to do was add a line for what we call the system prompt — which is the prompt that’s included in every Lindy — and it’s like, don’t Rickroll people.”
This is the thing I keep trying to impress on people about indiscriminately trained LLMs. We don't "fix" them by actually correcting them, we just slap muzzles and blinders on them. But they still "want" to do the wrong thing and "find" ways to do it!
