Despite the efforts of the world’s stupidest man, Twitter continues to trudge along, providing a wealth of wonder and cringe, an insight into the myriad complex and contradictory soul of humanity.

AI keeps trying to actually make something it can't, truly a fool's errand.
Word just hit that Carl Weathers has passed
He's getting a little soup going in heaven.

Thread about how miserable Amazon book for hire writing is and how AI doesn't make anything better.
Chaser:
An ad for that same miserable process being picked for this thread. Damn Twitter, even for you...
Jesus fuck
Me reading the shot thread:
Lightning McQueen must suffer for his Sin
1) okay that is awesome
2) it’s weird because I’ve seen them working on non-Vanilla forums
I've heard it said... repeatedly... that American cities weren't built for cars, they were bulldozed for cars.
I only have the basic no commercial cert the FAA requires for even basic operation but that shit isn’t about not having a stick up your ass, it’s about making sure that the FAA doesn’t have reason to have your ass for airspace violations.
I live in Cincinnati, and I would have to look into this more, but from the modern shot I am pretty sure this is more than just urban planning gone awry. This looks like the section of the city that had a vibrant african american district called Kenyon-Barr. It was the center of poc owned businesses and lots of people lived there. It was demolished in the 50s to make way for the 75/71 interchange that you can see in the background of the modern picture.
It's a pretty big stain on Cincinnati's history that is still being reckoned with to this day. I've seen it used in classes on structural racism to showcase how the state can enact hugely racist policies without being overtly racist.
If memory serves so much of the history of highway expansion in the US was basically “how can we use this to literally destroy black neighborhoods” across the entire country, so that fuckin’ fits.
Sure is an odd coincidence.
They were promised aid to relocate
That promise was rescinded due to white people
Well, you confirmed my hunch.
“It’s not going to be a bunch of Rocky jokes is it?”
Narrator: it was
“No, nooooooo. No! Not at all.”

Love to watch one of the biggest cities in the country evolve into an open police state
Same thing with Central Park: the area that was demolished to create it was, if I remember my history correctly, the location of Manhattan's largest homeowning Black community. City planners chose the location because they wanted to force as many Black people as possible out of the city proper and into Brooklyn (which was, at the time, a separate municipality) and other neighboring boroughs.
Oh wow and I thought it was the exact opposite, like they were avoiding buildings.
Jesus Christ people can be fucking monsters.
Aaargj! *falls over*
As much as we damn well want, you ain’t our fuckin’ feudal lord Matt Walsh.
Why is my job entitled to more of my time than I AM.
At least, not beyond the level of "Shut the fuck up and go away Matt Walsh, you fascist."
It’s also ignoring the two hours a day of commuting most people do. Plus the time needed to feed ourselves, shower, grocery shop, clean, and all the other stuff that normal humans have to get done every week that doesn’t qualify as “free time” under any reasonable definition.
When I worked full time in an office I would have to choose between having like one free hour a night or getting an unhealthy lack of sleep so I would have time to do stuff I cared about.
And fuck that.
is being super horned up about wasting almost your entire life doing something shitty that is honestly probably unnecessary what "we must imagine Sisyphus happy" means?
because man I thought Camus was a dumb idiot before, but now that I've realized I've got a lifetime of object lessons on his stupid philosophy, ooh I am steamed.
I'm a big proponent of work days being capped at 6 hours, 4 days a week. Soo a max of 24 hours a week.
Genuinely believe this would do a lot for people.
But also you'd have to ensure proper reimbursement and you know, not allowing people to squat on wealth like obscene dragons
