the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Devastating and dead-on:

the millennials yearn for precedented times

Remember how if a kid choked on a little plastic toy they used to stop selling the toy

Learned about a new moth today. Southern purple mint moth, which is as pink and yellow as a rosy maple moth, but with a very pointy brown head and such. Also so pretty! And small

It’s all fun and games until I’m working on coordinating up to 70 interactions over getting dice shipped

Can I just say how fucking ridiculous it is that queer and nsfw art is more heavily regulated than the fucking plagiarism machine destroying our planet that is genAI

Girl you are FIFTEEN you have ARTHRITIS IN ONE HIP you are CONVALESCING FROM SURGERY MERE DAYS AGO why are you up there????? because she is full of vim and vigor and vitality I guess

Let me make an #artfight2025 thread for my attacks and revenges and general dicemaking thoughts this year. We’re at the halfway point and here’s all the ones I’ve made so far— #artfight #dice #dicemaking #ttrpg #dnd

well put

#ArtFight2025 badge time… #TeamCrystals … I will be doing raw dice singles (d20, d12, d6 most likely) for my attacks this year again … I have no idea what whims will guide who I choose to attack. Juuuust gonna do my best to participate (:

By contrast, this is what human brains can do, & it's 1000% funnier

Oh, this is my new favorite self portrait. Art is a gift

#makeaterriblecomicday is also my birthday (:

Perhaps I will emerge from my chrysalis of absence here on my birthday to post again. A charity to share, and that is lgbtq+ affirming: www.onesimplewish.org/wish/wish-gr...

"Don't die until you're dead" has been a genuinely useful thought

amtrak’s marketing team gets it

I suspect that fact that the vast majority of LLM users don’t seem to have received this (really very simple!) message is because the AI companies have a vested interest in us not understanding it. “ChatGPT is smart, it just makes mistakes sometimes” is much more marketable than the truth.

people love to act like ironic detachment and being a hater is so cool but have you ever tried being sincere and liking things

I talked about all of the costs in class, ecological and intellectual, and my students were really great and I wish I could teach them again

was just telling my brother and his girlfriend how bad it feels to see something cool online and immediately be like nah. that's not real. something that cool must be AI. and then to find out it is real and like god that hurts so much. you took away that moment of wonder from me. you STOLE it

applying for jobs again

“I asked ChatGPT” well I asked the three Fates and the one with the scissors got very agitated when I told her you were using your one precious life thread talking to that cursed thing

SHIT GPT - dashare.zone ADMIN

AI is a plaigarism machine made of crimes... but also a tool to degrade humans and human experience. "those who have drank the AI Kool-Aid don't understand that all this brainstorming and iteration is making the game...and is not a problem to be solved.”" aftermath.site/ai-video-gam...

i need people to understand "death of the author" means the author can't dictate what you take away from the text, not that you're not complicit in what they do with the profit they make from you buying it in the first place

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

I'm so used to bar bathrooms with cutesy signs that I had to stop here and ask myself if I was a Mario or a Wario

oh you mean like every other time they've tried this? everywhere else in the world?

YOU GUYS.

fuck you make me

I think these little corporate mental health apps are so silly. Don’t tell me about debt 101 and investing 101 and not acknowledge that a lunatic is setting the entire economy on fire. Bitch I know about dividends tell me how to take the keys from grandpa as he’s driving us into the cliff

Every day I wake up to the news

Not to be a downer, but we live in such a thick fog of lies and misinformation these days that the "lying for fun" holiday doesn't really hit anymore

hear hear

constantly thinking about this ominous sticky note drawing i saw in a boba shop

Trying to get a handle on radial symmetry spiral drawing with art of Fylo #oc #drawing

Most recent finished set, already off to its new owner now. First-time DM wanted the high and low numbers to stand out for easy reading (: #dnd #dice #dicemaker

nostalgia is remembering when you didn’t have to pay bills and attributing that feeling to mario

Hey wait I think I have the perfect response to this.
