And surprisingly, a lot of stuff about bears. The Alaska type. Not the Provincetown type, unfortunately.

@joemygod.bsky.social remains excellent, IMO — perfect intersection of LGBT interest stuff and important news and politics,l that is very timely, even if primarily an aggregator. Also, absent of AI slop or advertorial BS

I . . . can't think of any remedy short of developing your own Original Sin theory wherein which you convince yourself that you somehow deserve this. Sorry.

It's one I use all the time, though. Sometimes it works, so not doing a lot worse than major religions so far.

I tell ya, I would rather not use certain websites than have to log in or not be able to use a private tab. Fortunately my job permits that.

Could be worse? I once made the mistake of searching for trans stuff on YT and the algorithm there does not distinguish between useful stuff for fresh-cracked eggs and “here’s an angry white bigot ranting for two hours”.

Can’t tell you how much I would pay for a bonus ep where you just spend 2 hours telling Peter about all your bad first dates

They don’t make it easy to find, but you can mute suggested posts for 30 days in the content preferences settings.

My sister is in her 40's and getting a divorce, so I've been googling all kinds of stuff on related subjects. My whole algorithm is lawyers, tips for surviving a midlife crisis, hormone support, menopause info...none of which pertains to me 🙃

Maybe you could look this up for Michael and it would shift your algorithm to confuse it way further.

Instagram figured out I care about Gaza and like cats, so I got A LOT of cats rescued from under rubble reels until Trump came back and now Instagram is like “hey, how do you feel about Japanese cooking, random comedians and New Yorker cartoons?” God forbid, I see what my friends are posting

There was a brief moment where I was gonna click to find out what ‘the twinkiest campaign ever’ means but then I remembered that it will make the algorithm even worse and also I would rather eat glass

This guy's campaign is actually a semi-interesting political story imo (him going to FIP is not though)

It's too late. You already paused on it for more than a brief period of time. Prepare to be twink-bliterated. Politically.

Algorithms do give up after a while. I used to have to Google clothing companies, and so for a while I was getting a lot of feminine lingerie ads which, while nice, were decidedly not my style

Very funny to me that this is your line, given the books you subject yourself to for your podcast

Just assume it was sponsored content by hostess and move on imo

thanks for saying that in a way that means you don't want to eat glass, this website really needs that messaging

I keep getting recomended youtube videos for "top 10 wwe stars who recently came out as gay REAL NEWS" and it's an AI picture of Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins kissing with zero passion.

tangential: if some people abandon Moosk's Shitter out of principle, why don't they do the same with Zoock's IG? I mean, different douchebag CEOs but same surveillance capitalism, same manipulative algos. I really want to understand.
