Shit, i just realized. Remember Brandolini’s law?

> The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.

LLMs becoming increasingly available has significantly lowered the cost of bullshit, making Brandolini’s Law obsolete, but not in the good direction…

I’m exhausted and kinda grumpy so I probably shouldn’t post this today but I will. We as blind people want to have our pictures described to us, which is great. But why then are we posting audio without descriptions of what the audio contains for those who can’t hear? We know what it’s like, so why are we passing that along to others? And we have plenty of characters so there’s no reason for links without any additional text. Too often we don’t think beyond ourselves.

House GOP: There’s no such thing as “systemic racism”, it’s a myth.

Also House GOP: “The military was never intended to be, you know, inclusive.” This amendment will block all military funding until the Pentagon gets rid of these woke diversity programs. “And it has nothing to do with colored people”

In reply to @chris.

@chris @shawnhooper Spotify for me was the exception to my not tying accounts together rule, because my cell carrier was involved at the time but doing through their site meant that you had to use a social log-in and I was already extracting myself from Twitter at the time so I had to go with Facebook or no account for me. Yeah it's one of two online things I'm still frustrated about.
