Just a reminder that the thing people mean in scifi is a true general AI that replicates human consciousness, and what we actually have is an autocorrect that passes a Turing test sometimes. These are very much not comparable, and LLMs will never be geth.

My babies 😭

A weirdly large part of my job is absolutely raiding the fuck out of dollar tree for snacks and office supplies

A lot of the weird, obscure kids' and YA genre fiction I read as a child beats "classic" or popular literature in writing, imagination, and engagement by orders of magnitude. Stop shaming people of any age for not reading "real" literature. Gatekeeping reading just means fewer people like to read.

I often feel bad for not being able to support any of the struggling people I see on this app, whether genocide survivors or trans/disabled people in the current American hellscape or any number of other situations Then I remember that I'm a trans single parent w/ chronic illness and doing my best

ICE has tear gassed, arrested, shot, and disappeared Chicagoans as part of Trump’s “Operation Midway Blitz.” Residents are fighting back against the federal agents terrorizing their city. From Emma Janssen: trib.al/qxvL5rp

The TTRPG Bundle for PCRF, organized by @molgannardpress.bsky.social, has gone live! 243 items from 102 creators, all for a min. $10, with proceeds to support Palestinian Children's Relief, needed now more than ever. itch.io/b/3299/pales...

friendly reminder: reaching out to others is a GOOD THING and YOU SHOULD DO IT MORE reach out to your friends, your loved ones, artists & creators you like, random people on the street, local businesses and events. say hi. tell them theyre cool. say what you mean. just do it and see what happens.

When you are pure of heart no amount of earnestness is Cringe. When you are a malevolent little freak no amount of sarcasm is enough to make you cool

This is so important.

Was nobody going to tell me about the LITERAL FUCKING OCEANS ELEVEN BULLSHIT HAPPENING

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.

DOMESKAI FUNDED AND IT LOOKS INCREDIBLE cannot WAIT to get this game in front of a table. Now. Who's gonna play with me 👀👀👀👀👀👀

Don't miss this fantastic game, now on Kickstarter, by @lysander03.bsky.social. Fingers crossed, we hope to welcome Greg & the Domeskai Tamers RPG to Breakout again this year! www.kickstarter.com/projects/jap... #Breakoutcon #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #rpg #ttrpg #TTRPGcommunity #rpgcommunity

Me and Kayla are participating in Mausritter month! It's about time we had an all ages RPG on our table. www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

Big Pritz you gotta go put your body on the line here man. You’re getting shown up by furry ravers and Presbyterians.

Log the fuck off if you need to. Doomscrolling won't make it better. Check in with your community and protect yourself and yours. It's not up to you alone to fix all of this, we're all in it together. Find joy where you can. Every step forward you take in spite of it all is rebellion.

All I want is a nap and maybe like several hundred dollars to spend on games and Kickstarters

and scene

LOOK AT HIM. LOOK AT HIS LIL FACE.

You sorta have to think of yourself as building a new counter culture to the capital death cult and that's going to mean you're in league with a lot of other weirdos, and you have to get comfortable with that. Or, if not comfortable, you simply have to acknowledge your job is solidarity not coziness

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

Domeskai Tamers is here!! I'm so excited to bring you my latest game. I can't wait for everyone to get their hands on it. Please consider backing today! www.kickstarter.com/projects/jap...

The second I have more than forty dollars in my bank account I am backing the HECK out of this It looks incredible and I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!

I can’t tell you how much good could be done right now by average citizens socially cold-shouldering anyone tangentially working for ICE.

We’ll be homeless on the streets tomorrow. Please help a dog and her human by boosting our fundraiser and helping us prepare for being and when we become unsheltered homeless. Thank you. V SNDesiree C $SNDesiree gofund.me/79b8c1580

Trump is weak. The weak hoard up all their strength to can unleash it against those with less. They only look strong bc they choose narrow battles. But true strength is in connections. Don't give him narrow battles. We are all illegal. We are all trans. We are all antifa. That's how we win.

Fuuuuuuck

Victory tastes like calamari.

Even back in the 70s and 80s when I could be hassled by the police for walking while trans, no one ever tried to stop me pissing in the Ladies or tried to make me change into my swimsuit among men. There is no dignity or respect involved in taking away rights I have exercised freely for forty years

C'mon Nintendo use your insane litigious tendencies for good, just this once

It's really a golden age of being punished by our parents, teachers, politicians, and culture heroes for believing in the moral ideals that they themselves taught us

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025 I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves! Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship Silence is compliance!

oh yeah? If it's the GREAT one of Giza, why is it a PyraMID

It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years. Pinochet was ousted with a referendum. And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists. Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

Jerry wanted you to hear this from him. We built Ben & Jerrys to stand for peace and love. It was needed then and it’s needed more than ever now. Which is why Magnum must #FreeBenAndJerrys See Jerry’s full message at freebenandjerrys.com and be part of the campaign.

W/alt part 1

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

Incredibly excited to announce that Absurdia, my TTRPG love letter to classic and contemporary works of absurdism like Welcome to Night Vale, Alice in Wonderland, and Gravity Falls, is coming to Backerkit this fall! Subvert normalcy. Embrace chaos. Make it weird. Follow today 👁️ bit.ly/46upHBR

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

its wild how slippery objective consensus reality is right now

Later this fall, we're launching SHIFT RPG, a new system where you can play in any world you can imagine! Sign up to be notified when the campaign goes live!

More reasons to be anti-AI

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

Gov. Pritzker enlists the public's help: "What we've asked is that people pull out their iPhone or their Android phone and film what they're seeing. Take a video of everything so see so that we can know if, in fact, laws are being broken by these federal officials coming into our state."

I am once again asking you to stop sending us money. But we do need your time. ⏰ zohranfornyc.com/events

Inspirational Tables: tools to support us in saying cool things to our friends while playing TTRPG’s I've been suggesting a trio of d6 tables as an easy tool to have on hand when one is worried about coming up with details on the fly. Maybe it is ideas for things happening in a big city, ideas for…
