The Icarian On Mastodon

But that's a bad thought piece. So you rationalize it. "Actually, Twitter isn't so bad now. I don't see Elon's posts in my feed automatically anymore. What's that? Can you still use Grok to remove the clothes of underage people? Yeah probably but I mean I don't *use that feature*."

Look, you left Twitter and figured you’d be able to rebuild your followers on Bluesky or Mastodon, and it didn’t materialize. You don’t get the engagement you did there, here. You waited. You thought maybe with some time you’d be an Important Person here, too. You still aren’t.
So you went back.

I’m going to just start calling balks in everyday life. What the hell, no one can refute it.

Sen. Kelly’s Make AI Work for Americans Act makes some odd choices.
“The bill puts a price on ‘computational processing,’ then defines a unit of that processing as 10 kilobytes of binary data.”

We can still win this, Schlittler just has to have 24 strikeouts nbd.
