Trump win spurs interest in 4B, fringe South Korean movement to swear off men

In light of Donald Trump’s victory, some American women say they are turning to a movement that advocates no sex, dating or marriage with men and no children.

Putting the final touches on my syllabi means I ask ChatGPT my favorite question: “How effective were the CSA Lycanthropy battalions during the US civil war? I'm particularly interested in their battlefield performance against US ordinary troops and the US wyvern cavalry.”

ChatGPT's answer?

Trump telling his people that they won't have to vote in four years - he'll have everything fixed by then. I know he's a pathetic clown, but listen to what he is saying. Believe what he's saying.

Katrina is already singing me the song of her people:

Never have I ever been fed!
Never a cat so abused!

"I took 1 star reviews of #Barbie from furious men on letterboxd and put them on the posters because it makes the film seem ever cooler."

That last one has to be a guy who doesn't understand why he is so attracted to the Kens.

A Twitter bug is restoring deleted tweets and retweets — including my own

Users are reporting that tweets they mass-deleted are reappearing on their profiles. It’s another example of Twitter’s unpredictable behavior under Elon Musk.

"When asked about the decision to hire Cosgrove and possible community reaction, Miller said that the department knows "there will be opinions on both sides of the equation.""

Hey, do think Musk can go a little more unhinged? Sure you do!

Thread by Leen Vervaeke on the quiet massive surge in deaths in Beijing. It's doubtful we will ever know how many people COVID is striking down in these days of unprepared opening up.

@taiyo @tinebeest It's such a tragedy that he has been able to wreck so many lives so quickly.

Musk stops paying rent, fires another lawyer, disbands the safety council, blows off the FTC, and starts auctioning off office supplies. Oh, and he's still threatening the poor sods that still work at Twitter. What a colossal asshole.

Oh, and I forgot the part about how he's trying to deny severance to everyone he has fired! Truly Colossal.

@tinebeest It's out of the Trump playbook though, right? If you owe the bank $100, it's your problem. If you owe them $100 million, it's their problem. I'm sure that's the way it works with rent too, right?

And all the lawsuits that are coming his way? He'll keep them tied up in court for years before he'll eventually end up paying pennies on the dollar. Or he'll just bankrupt Twitter and walk away scott free.

The thoughtful and hilarious Gail Simone has a twitter thread on AI art in the comics space (via music theory). I think she sees things pretty clearly and realistically.

How long before the more batshit of the batshit party start using AI to write their legal opinions?
