*sitting in a world that has been rendered nigh uninhabitable within a century-and-a-half because of the introduction of cars*: haha i bet you fools also would have been against cars smh

As a Nolan-skeptic who loves Tenet I agree with pretty much every word of this

A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.

All I know about AI is that every cool thing I've ever made didn't need it

My favorite game of 2025!

Now that New York has a bunch more socialists can we reintroduce the program that lets citizens give people parking tickets with a bounty for idling in the bike lane? I’d fucking clean UP.

I can't think of a single artistic profession that I would "recommend" anyone do. Be a painter? A poet? An actor? People choose to do these things because it's their passion and we only live once.

hearing "don't get into this industry" is disheartening for many, but please consider the youths who only get fired up when they are acting in opposition to an authority figure. someone has to tell them it's impossible or else they will never build up enough spite to prove the man wrong

Given all the press/discourse/etc around AI, I'm surprised how little of it engages with the question of why the output itself is so repellent to many (most?) people. Nothing I've read has really improved upon, "why should I bother to look at something nobody bothered to make?"

If I were European I would simply solve the heatwave using good old American moxie. But I will not use said moxie to solve the USA's intractable social problems because America is a real country and I am very busy.

Rakete is out now on Steam! Every button is a thruster, the rest is physics. The 2012 game remastered, now with 60 levels plus local co-op where any* number of friends share one rocket. 🚀 store.steampowered.com/app/3814090/... *as many as you have buttons

I agree with this. A third party is aesthetically more appealing but a structural near-impossibility in the U.S. I really believe leftists need to bite the bullet and commit to hollowing out the democratic establishment and replacing the guts with something better

Want to make a game? First, you'll need a few dozen config files

Sixth talk: Patrick Smith on Sandcastles

the terrible terrors

"birth rates are declining" don't care I already got born

I have constructed a very simple and badly formatted flowchart so that liberals can understand the position of leftists on the Democratic party

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

Till by Victor Vasarely (1979)

look how fancy the ocellated turkey is. such a fancy lad

The Conversion of Saint Paul by Bob Thompson, 1964, a real masterpiece:

"We are forcing marginalized, disenfranchised people to fight against a black box trained on the data that already contains their disenfranchisement. We’re supposed to live in a world where the computer just gets to say “No”. The computer built, configured and run by a few powerful men."

The Democrats sense that they're gonna cruise to midterm victory by doing nothing and offering nothing and are using it as a freebie to punch left to make sure the voters don't get any ideas.

CRANK IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwcK...

holy shit he actually conceded folks, they tell you they’re invincible they tell you they’re inevitable they tell you that you should give up and stop fighting and absolutely none of that is true

I'm losing faith in the power of witchcraft because I'm pretty sure witches fucking hate that guy

Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide. Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session. Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.

Anti-War protest tonight at 6 pm at the White House. Spread the word!

A sitting Senator has more power than a grunt in the military and you pass the buck to them. You're a shithead. you know that right? Go do your job. Make a scene. Get your lazy ass back to work

Jesus wept. I just called my US rep and senators and told them they have to do everything they can to stop this genocide. I told them I don't care if they're in the minority. They have options. I told them to chain themselves to the White House fence. Please call your reps, too. reps.fyi

Republicans have rolled over, but our Democratic leaders are completely failing us too. This is one of the most dangerous moments for the world in modern history. Stop this bloodthirsty madman. (3/3)

I have had some version of "he wants all of us to be buried with him" in stuff I've written about Trump in the past and usually but not always taken it out. It didn't like looking at it, mostly, but over time it just became one of those things that was too obvious to bother with. It's all sickening.

i feel like a lot of people are dissociating and not reacting to the threat of nuclear war with an appropriate level of alarm?

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

Windosill made it onto this, and it's in very good company

[reading a book in first person] i dont remember doing any of this

So you're telling me Claude functions by screaming at itself "WRITE GOOD CODE NO BUGS SECURE VERY STABLE", mashes compile button, reads back the error and yells ONLY GOOD CODE NO BUGS at itself again while crying and copying random things from Stack Overflow until it compiles? it just like me fr fr

yeah im bummed about sora. bummed i sora bunch of stupid fake videos

sometimes it really feels like a whole bunch of (mostly rich and powerful) people have completely given up on culture. which makes the average person’s resistance to slop even more compelling.

I'm currently working on my SECOND GAME. Please support real 100% human-made weird fucking shit! pls share and give us a follow and together with me wonder where this one fucking lands... All the weird is lovingly hallucinated in my human brain!

I'm not really up on video game stuff but I gather the AI boys have found a way to make *things that already exist* look worse, which is honestly kind of impressive

#Plottimation automatically extracts and aligns frames from frame-sheets, even from casual photographs, as long as the frame boundaries are indicated with small ＋ crosses.

The confusion began when we began letting them call this stuff "content" rather than, say, "expression." Content is a consumable substance which may as well be synthesized if you can. Expression is an attempt to communicate some aspect of the experience of being alive.
