Honestly classic tech to be such a drama queen we couldn't even enjoy an art heist for one day without them committing a catastrophic web failure to prod

im not advocating for anything illegal, i dont even know what crimes look like, that's how impossible it is for me to commit one. I think of legislation as a large beautiful man i respect

For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: For posting AI generated videos of Himself flying a Plane full of Shite

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

SO much of the cultural and artistic nostalgia that society chases was just art made when people got paid to do it. Lavish movie posters made by human artists, video games made by people without sixteen different investment companies breathing down their neck, movies made by studios taking a chance.

America already has a King, but some of y'all ain't ready for that conversation

Fun conversation topic for y'all: would it be more satisfying to sabotage the building process, or destroy it after the hollow plastic thing has gone up?

if you are a US citizen doing nothing illegal the people sneering/screaming/scolding that you shouldn't do this are confusing their own mental illness with Opsec.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

An economist boiling things down to two arbitrary and ill-defined choices? No way!

“Finally, after they torched the constitution we can justify what we should have done to prevent them from torching the constitution“ is rearguard shit. It is never on the attack. This is a cultural failure of American liberalism as we still know it.

Reminder for you: the drakengard 3 soundtrack

so, the core of the dark object system is that every "game object" is made up of a bunch of properties and links. properties are just tables of data keyed by object id, more or less like all ecs systems have now. but links are the really cool bit.

I will not support a primary challenge against Chuck Tingle.

Give the Onion what it's due already, I need "Infowars but for the Left" where it's literally just Infowars full of ONN bits

Nationally it becomes a matter of tone. "You and I live here. We know what the problems are. Join me, we can do something about it. Them? They're from somewhere else. They must be, to deny what everybody knows. Let's outnumber them."

You might think it's because Philly is like heaven, but no, it's because the best parts of hell and worst parts of heaven mix together like mayo and ketchup

"If your hand offends you, cut it off" It's not like it's gone forever, we just gotta cut down on the lesser dopamine, the same way that I don't keep bags of candy around the house 😞

"Group" is such a weird way to phrase this, but it's not obvious who is funding this, or who is in charge of it; I'm a fan of this action, but the closest to "who's responsible" on their website is saying that Kellyanne Conway's ex is on the board.

Yeah, someone could say "halfway" unless you count someone's lifetime by the length their work lives on in which case, uncharitably, it's just the end of the first quarter

Honestly, it needs to go further than this. We need to confront the fact that democracy and wealth hoarding cannot coexist. Allowing people to amass the resources of a small state/country allows them to act as such, which is inimical to a shared society of “one person, one vote.”

The bleakest thing about this video is that all the things this guy loves about the UK are relatively cheap and easy to build. Alabama could have a better train system than England inside of 10 years if we decided that was a priority. We are a rich country that chooses to live like a poor one.

Tragic that I only saw this after 4pm today and I've been missing out on a cool museum just across the harbor :'(

Thoroughly excited for Branson’s latest exciting tour through a European accent.

no kings. Suffer no sovereign but society.

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

this man pays zero respect to the concept of "having a buffer" and I'll always be impressed by the straight antagonism to the concept of time that that displays

Weird right wing people are not interesting because they’re mainly just stupid or racist. Weird left wing people are insane in interesting ways. This is why we will wins

If I see you posting AI slop, it's an instant block. Even if you think it's cute or says a lot about society. If you are purporting that some AI slop is real news, I will report you for misinformation, and then block you. Sloppers should be marginalised.

They should put a new TRON soundtrack out every few years so we can all collectively pretend there’s a movie attached to it.

The other one i did on stream! #offhandart

I beamed into the design research class a friend is teaching at SJSU yesterday. Got a lot of questions about using "AI tools" for research. Answered with a lot of synonyms for "Nope." i'm doing my part dot gif

New tragedy in this gorgeous tragedy comic: Sever is roughly 150 years too early to be a part of sex babomb

obviously, it's why the Telly has a fee while a TV doesn't

Soliciting opinions on slant rhymes: Loss/toss/awes(ome)?

I love constraints because it gives an artist opportunities to express themselves

One curious thing on this site about speaking out against the encroachment of LLMs is that inevitably you get accused of being anti-tech. I don’t hate technology. I’ve used machine learning in my own code before. But I also recognize that oligarchs are so hellbent on pushing this tech for a reason.

Fun and even less-known trick: with lambdas in recent version of Excel, you can even use the Name Manager to name *functions*, defining your own shorthand for long involved formulas that you use frequently. (And without needing to get into VBA coding and all the extra security warning hoops)

I paid $400 for two tickets and had a great time, seems like a severe skill issue (Also Alex Winters is an incredible actor, I didn't even know, and now I've gotta watch Freaked I guess)
