Bdubs. Holy shit dude, this rules

I am extremely delighted by his ability to figure out cool block overlaps- that dedication to experimenting & finding new ways to make different shapes has contributed a wild amount to MC building strategies & tricks

Oh, you're underprepared for the modern world because you've evolved for a long-gone hunter-gatherer existence with a completely different set of threats and rewards? Sounds like a skill issue, I am perfectly adapted for a life of doom-scrolling and spreadsheets. I have extremely powerful thumbs.

INTERVIEW ( live televised )

speaker: please welcome, the lead news reporter of our channel, michael smith, here to interview the ceo of annunnaki pharmaceuticals and philanthropist, doctor kane iona!

michael smith: good morning everyone, thank you for being with us today, either in the studio or at home, watching us live on your screens. i couldn't be more pleased to sit with doctor kane iona today. i suppose he does not need much of an introduction, as he is one of the most influential people in the world today —

kane iona, laughing: as kind as always, michael. it is my pleasure to be here with you all.

michael: i forget, is this our sixth interview? i must say, it was hardly a surprise to see you take the mantle as the ceo, as you have been in the board for how many years now- twenty... thirty?

kane: that makes me seem even more of an old man, michael! who knows, time passes quickly for sure.

michael: you're right, a life devoted to the company, as we all know. so tell us, how has it been going? it has been a over year now with you as the ceo, do tell us your plans? how do you feel now that you are no longer the cfo?

kane: you know, as cliche as it sounds, it does not feel that much different. this company has been my and malvina's arduous work for the past few decades, and while she did such a tremendous job being the face of the company, me being appointed as the face is the only thing that has changed in terms of what goes behind the scenes. she has decided to take some time to focus on her health, and she has my and our team's full support on that.

michael: are you saying the key values will remain the same? can you tell us a bit about them?

kane: of course, as always, the wellness of our consumers is our first priority. we have been and always will be the pioneers of innovation going forward, both with our current line of products, as well as the ones in the upcoming cycles. we have a very devoted team behind the scenes, the best in their respective fields, and i am very proud of every single one of them. furthermore, we are committed to do all of our business with integrity and full transparency — but i will stop here, my children say i tend to talk too much when given the stage.

michael, laughing: we would love to listen more, i am sure, but since we have limited time, i will move on. tell us about your personal life a bit more — children, you mentioned, how are they doing?

kane: i have an older son, and two twin daughters, they are so grown up now that i can hardly believe my eyes. very bright and smart, you know the type of youth you like to see that makes you more optimistic for the future.

michael: how wonderful! now, i have a private question that i know all of our viewers would learn to more about. tell us a bit about your upbringing? how does a man become so influential? what were your parents like? what's your secret?

kane: oh, i wish my answer was more exciting, michael. before you all start sighing, it really does boil to hard work. i was a med student just like many of you out there, and graduated with a crazy amount of student debt. with the hours i put into my passion of medicine and wellbeing , malvina and i became partners in showing the full potential of what annunnaki could be to the whole world. we knew how much we could do — and we worked days and nights to make it happen. of course, it does not happen without a powerful team of scientists who are our miracle workers, as well as the shareholders who have put their trust in us from the beginning.

michael: and we are all very much looking forward to the new — or perhaps should i say the future era of annunnaki? thank you for being with us here dr. iona, hoping for another interview again soon?

kane, laughing: of course michael, as long as you have us, we are more than grateful to share the great work we do, and we thank you for believing in us. there's a lot more to come, so keep your eyes peeled!

once more the difference between the public’s definition of AI (somewhere between generative AI [the ai art bullshit] and artificial general intelligence [your average sci-fi ai, the kind that causes philosophical arguments about what makes us human]), companies’ usage of the word AI (literally slapping a buzzword label on everything from some not-even-particularly-fancy excel formulas or non-llm chatbots [wrong] to computer vision or machine learning [correct]), and the actual academic definition of AI (a lot broader than you’d think, tbh) is driving me Fucking Bonkers

today is an eldest daughter burnout day. i know there’s problems but like can i clock out as the in-house therapist for today lmao

[destinyandcoins]

the bots are learning to use actual words as their usernames now but I'll be honest it's starting to mimic the kind of offbeat random humor i expect from genuine tumblr users

SABCATT PSA

hoo boy. new tumblr layout hurts my fucking eyes. so i'll probably be on here less. more urgent inquiries can go to my dreamwidth, where i'll try to put up an anon-enabled post that's like "here from one of my other socials? drop a comment!" that can function as. something like an ask box

i’m sorry but am i the only one who thought that kendall’s eulogy was actually by far and away the most cringefail thing that happened during that entire funeral???

[straightlightyagami]

Kind of surprised they sentenced Elizabeth Holmes to only 11 years... considering patients probably died because of her scams it's not enough

[fairyherbs]

having a job is so undignified tbh

[sleeplessinseattlee]

I feel conflicted about my job every day. Part of me wants to run away and leave and find something more flexible that I actually feel passionate about, I feel like I grate against the corporatey aspects of it so much, all the things I hear from leadership feel like bullshit but it doesn’t affect what I do every day, but now they’re implementing a new stricter hybrid work model where our managers are watching when we come into the office/making sure we do the allotted days a month even though it truly does NOT affect daily work: at least half the people I work with are fully remote. I hate that I feel surveilled here all the time, both with tracking every minute of my day for my timesheet and billing and now this. I don’t get paid enough and I have too much to do every day. But at the same time, I like the colleagues I work with directly and I feel good about how I’ve grown and moved into higher level work in the year I’ve worked here (even though I’m still in the entry level position) and I do think I can grow and be promoted in this company if I stick with it. And I don’t know what I’d do if I left. So for now this is just my life. Yippee

i miss when comic book characters were insane. everything is too happy domestic moments now or like. fighting aliens or universe collapsing threats. it’s all so…. sanitized.
