#Out of Data

🖤🌷send this to other bloggers you think are wonderful! Keep the game going!🌷🖤💕

Your OC is wonderful, and you are very helpful and creative. I'm very grateful to have met you.

This really caught me off guard, but it was such a sweet and welcome surprise after the morning I woke up to. At first, I was like ??? Why me?? I barely produce anything here, so I don't deserve praise?? But ; _ ; a little love does wonders for a wounded heart. Thank you so much.

For a while now, I've felt like a mouse stuck to a glue trap, like the more I writhe and flail to get back to what I held so much love for, the more dots I connect in my head and the more crushed I feel when I think I want to try again. When I enter this headspace, no matter how much joy something originally brought me, I can only associate it with this hurt I can't break through, and I need it to become my past ASAP so I can flood my heart with something fresh and new that won't be touched or torn away from me.

This week was a battle I fought in silence, but I'm so happy I've finally found the strength to say I don't want to let go this time and I'm going to do my best to satisfy me for the sake of my comfort and happiness, no matter who comes, who goes, and who or what I must turn loose.

You have no idea what this message did for me today, but it really lifted my mood and fed my confidence and makes me want to do my best even more, and I can't say thank you enough. I hope we'll see each other active and happy online more in the future. Have the best day!

Nope now it’s at the point that i’m shocked that people off tt don’t know what’s going down. I have no reach but i’ll sum it up anyway.

SCOTUS is hearing on the constitutionality of the ban as tiktok and creators are arguing that it is a violation of our first amendment rights to free speech, freedom of the press and freedom to assemble.

SCOTUS: tiktok bad, big security concern because china bad!

Tiktok lawyers: if china is such a concern why are you singling us out? Why not SHEIN or temu which collect far more information and are less transparent with their users?

SCOTUS (out loud): well you see we don’t like how users are communicating with each other, it’s making them more anti-american and china could disseminate pro china propaganda (get it? They literally said they do not like how we Speak or how we Assemble. Independent journalists reach their audience on tt meaning they have Press they want to suppress)

Tiktok users: this is fucking bullshit i don’t want to lose this community what should we do? We don’t want to go to meta or x because they both lobbied congress to ban tiktok (free market capitalism amirite? Paying off your local congressmen to suppress the competition is totally what the free market is about) but nothing else is like TikTok

A few users: what about xiaohongshu? It’s the Chinese version of tiktok (not quite, douyin is the chinese tiktok but it’s primarily for younger users so xiaohongshu was chosen)

16 hours later:

Tiktok as a community has chosen to collectively migrate TO a chinese owned app that is purely in Chinese out of utter spite and contempt for meta/x and the gov that is backing them.

My fyp is a mix of “i would rather mail memes to my friends than ever return to instagram reels” and “i will xerox my data to xi jinping myself i do not care i share my ss# with 5 other people anyway” and “im just getting ready for my day with my chinese made coffee maker and my Chinese made blowdryer and my chinese made clothing and listening to a podcast on my chinese made phone and get in my car running on chinese manufactured microchips but logging into a chinese social media? Too much for our gov!” etc.

So the government was scared that tiktok was creating a sense of class consciousness and tried to kill it but by doing so they sent us all to xiaohongshu. And now? Oh it’s adorable seeing this gov-manufactured divide be crossed in such a way.

This is adorable and so not what they were expecting. Im sure they were expecting a reluctant return to reels and shorts to fill the void but tiktokers said fuck that, we will forge connections across the world. Who you tell me is my enemy i will make my friend. That’s pretty damn cool.

Not to preach to the choir but I wonder if people generally realize that AI models like ChatGPT aren't, like, sifting through documented information when you ask it particular questions. If you ask it a question, it's not sifting through relevant documentation to find your answer, it is using an intensely inefficient method of guesswork that has just gone through so many repeated cycles that it usually, sometimes, can say the right thing when prompted. It is effectively a program that simulates monkeys on a typewriter at a mass scale until it finds sets of words that the user says "yes, that's right" to enough times. I feel like if it was explained in this less flattering way to investors it wouldn't be nearly as funded as it is lmao. It is objectively an extremely impressive technology given what it has managed to accomplish with such a roundabout and brain-dead method of getting there, but it's also a roundabout, brain-dead method of getting there. It is inefficient, pure and simple.

if you receive this, you make somebody happy! go on anon and send this to ten of your followers who make you happy or somebody you think needs cheering up. if you get one back, even better! 🖤

This is so sweet!!! Thank you! I find the weeks getting better and I'm more at peace than I've been in a while. I always tend to be hard on me and say things like I don't deserve the little things like this, even when they bring me joy because they're given out of someone's affection for me - and it's that sentiment that I'm thankful for. Whoever sent this, UNO reverse <3 I hope you know how much this touched me and that you have much to smile and laugh about in the days to come. Thank you again!!!

And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend, I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.

My take away from Next Gen so far

[pandadrake]

Dr. Crane yelling at the Arkham Asylum staff for removing the images from his presentation slides due to "triggering content," as though that was not The Entire God Damn Point.

I was wondering what Dr. Crane would do with the results of his fear gas research then I remembered that Arkham Asylum contains 90% of Gotham's scientific community.

Follow-up to my last Batman comic doodle.
