Call me Phono. Once upon a time this was going to be a sketch blog. Now it's a blog for reblogging things while I'm procrastinating. Cheers.

Last night I spent 1 hour trying to get chatGPT to generate an image of Drake (it wont do any real people if you ask by name) on a bag of Lays Chips that was 9/11 (it wont do anything controversial) flavored. It took about 1 hour of associating various adjectives and nicknames tangential to Drake (Canadian rapper, from Degrassi, Drizzy, Champagne Papi) and only ended up working after I scrapped the chip bag idea and fed it a made up movie plot based on one of the previous chip bag images it made and told it to make VHS box art based on that plot, and that the movies name was 'DRIZZY CITY'

Drizzy city on VHS btw.

I've seen posts going around claiming that petting animals is basically tricking them into thinking they're being groomed, and it's bugging me because, like, there's no trickery afoot. Petting and scritching are grooming activities. They help to dislodge loose fur and foreign objects and more evenly distribute protective oils, among other things. Primates are social groomers, and the human impulse to scritch is the legacy of our primate ancestors. We see an animal we like, even a dangerous one, and the monkey brain says "groom that thing".

Sucking a guy's dick is basically tricking him into thinking he's having sex

@gendernewtral holy shit what??

an update to my insulin pump (a model which is highly recommended by doctors because it has software you can update, unlike other models) would allow my doctor to see more of my medical data because of the way my pump would now function.

i technically had the choice not to update it, but if i didn’t, my insurance company would not cover the cost of fixing or replacing it if something happened to it. they could say that the damage came from not updating the system, even if the damage was completely external.

some of the software updates have been beneficial, and have made my life easier. however, the choice to use these new system has always been made for me. i can’t afford to replace this $3000 device that allows me to live without injecting insulin upwards of five times a day.

disabled people already live in a world that is hypermanaged by people who have absolute control over our health and safety. anyone with a prosthetic, hearing aid, or pacemaker can face the same problem i did if the manufacturer decides they need to exert their presence in our lives more than they already do. the “cyberpunk dystopia” is already here, and if you want to change the ever-growing vice grip of “smart technology,” help disabled activists. we’ve been here all along.

(if you want a short primer on what it’s like to be disabled and rely on technology, read Jillian Weise’s personal essay in Alice Wong’s Disability Visibility).
