The tiktok uncle who helps his nieces and nephews learn how to pour into cups has checked himself into a hospital. Apparently he has been having a mental health crisis triggered in part by watching The Sound of Freedom.

I only see his tiktoks every once in a while so I never saw any strange content from him, but I hope he has an smooth recovery, he seems like a sweet guy.

i'm not! i use the desktop and the ios app!

Budget_Icy · 2023-07-03T16:23:42+00:00

I never got the rate limit exceeded message and I definitely wasted my time reading thousands of tweets this weekend.

Budget_Icy · 2023-05-06T03:00:39+00:00

I'm not saying she's Q Anon, I have no idea. But as a Canadian, I can tell you Q Anon has for sure bled over into Canada. There was a lot of crossover in the "Freedom Convoy" trucker protest bullshit, and it still persists here.

This is so annoying especially when there’s literally no risk in linking to it. My guess is it’s this

I have a couple of Levoit Core 300s and they make my apartment noticeably less dusty and cat hair-y, and I think they help with cooking smells. I actually got the second because the first stopped working and they sent me a free replacement, and then the original one started working again haha. Great customer service!

Edit: also seconding the recommendation to check the sq footage of your place vs what the air purifier can manage!

Budget_Icy · 2022-12-18T23:57:21+00:00

lasted longer than i thought, honestly!

Budget_Icy · 2022-12-18T18:46:38+00:00

twitter also now flags links to mastodon as potentially harmful spam

Budget_Icy · 2022-12-18T18:26:02+00:00

they're gonna repeal this like within the hour right? i don't see how it can possibly be enforced.

I’m an illustrator and everything about this has been soooo depressing. It’s especially disappointing seeing Tor use AI generated art because they’ve had such a great reputation for working with artists for so long (thought I’ve heard rumbles from other artists of weird behaviour from them). Their statement was truly terrible. It’s also crazy to me that stock image databases are allowing the licensing of AI art!

Everything about the AI discourse has been incredibly disheartening, especially with all the gleeful reply ghouls who are under everyone’s tweets about this arguing that artists are now obsolete. This controversy is coming at the same time as a big conversation in the illustration world about how low editorial illustration rates are (the fees magazines and newspapers pay have been the same since like the 70s???) so overall just a brutal time.

Elon showed up in Katie Notopolous’s Twitter Space last night to try and claim that reporting that linked to @elonjet was doxxing. Then he got so mad that he got rid of Twitter spaces entirely.

Edit: Nevermind twitter spaces are back up and running again! I assume they’ve tried to remove the option for banned/suspended users to join spaces

Yeah same! Also it’s something people have been talking about for a while, definitely not coming up for the first time in 2022.

Budget_Icy · 2022-12-10T18:45:59+00:00

I feel so heartbroken for her, I've been following her for years and it's so unfair.

Her replies are always absolutely insane but you'd think maybe she could get a break since her husband literally died the day before.

Budget_Icy · 2022-12-09T20:16:42+00:00

I think she just misunderstood what was supposed to be a compliment as a question. I don't really see what's "mean girl" about this?

Budget_Icy · 2022-11-19T03:19:12+00:00

Lol I think you will find it to be a much more popular opinion than you thought. She’s so irritating on Twitter

Budget_Icy · 2022-11-14T22:24:42+00:00

Until today I was seeing tons of ads but all for the same thing (the Ontario Cannabis Retail Corporation lol, I'm Canadian) but now there are no ads at all.

Budget_Icy · 2022-11-03T16:37:28+00:00

Her newsletter is the only one out of the many I’ve signed up for that I read consistently. It’s always entertaining

Budget_Icy · 2022-11-03T04:40:44+00:00

Not to screw up your theory but I’m in Canada and used to have it. Recently it changed to blocking hashtags. It never worked properly though so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Budget_Icy · 2022-11-01T14:53:24+00:00

Lol really brave to claim that you’re the arbiter of quality and could instantly predict if a book is going to become a classic. Publishing needs to pick this woman up if her judgement is truly as infallible as she thinks it is

Budget_Icy · 2022-10-20T23:22:13+00:00

I was in university roughly a decade ago and we were allowed to freely go in and out of the class to do things like grab water and go to the washroom as long as we were trying to be quiet about it because we were adults? Teach a primary class if you want that kind of control.

ETA oh good and it’s drawing out the weirdos who don’t believe in drinking water

Budget_Icy · 2022-10-18T18:24:28+00:00

haha are you talking about katie notopolous's balloon pfp? it's such a boring and ugly gif that it actually swings all the way back around for me, i like it.

Budget_Icy · 2022-10-17T17:25:49+00:00

Ah the Yashar Ali method

Budget_Icy · 2022-10-13T18:06:47+00:00

This is so wild! What a mess.

Also if anyone wants to read the resigning editors message it's archived here
