If bluesky does go up in flames, I would like to make a suggestion: maybe try making the next social media website a different colour. I mean, the blue probably isn't the thing driving the CEOs to madness, but it's worth checking.

About 12 hours left and I am at $0 towards this.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors. ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart. ISILDUR: true

Omega Brother, Where Art Thou?

fascinating that "no, the computer is not alive" and "yes, it's questionable to gleefully say anti-computer phrases modeled after racial slurs" are two thoughts people are struggling to reconcile

The whole discourse about whether the plagiarism machine is a person, has been poisoned by the fact that the people on one side of it have used the plagiarism machine to destroy their ability to think.

This is not going well this go-around, and my landlord is making some grumpy noises. I really need help, folks. I'm doing all I can on my end.

Zombies, they're making themselves zombies

Currently at: — only buy tech too old to have AI built in — painstakingly disable AI every time they add it to something that used to work perfectly well — if it can't be switched off, abandon the platform or tool — if there are no good alternatives, avoid the AI parts — patiently wait for the crash

Avery Brooks is 77 today

The new #BattleTech Gothic box set from @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social dropped today, so here's my look inside it and a fair amount of my thoughts on the first piece of the BattleTech Continuum. Short answer? It's great!

Read bad art. Write bad art. Critique bad art.

this is basically portland's version of a haka

the nice thing about being a curmudgeon who hates video content is that you cannot be affected by the horrors of the AI slop revolution the same way oh your algorithm was taken over by weird AI videos of old women exploding bridges? I will stay over here, with my blogs

Life keeps getting in the way lately but I have more to say about this fantastic (and kinda weird) box set coming on my blog later this week - so glad to see it's finally hitting the streets!

RIP Jane Goodall, by all accounts a wonderful woman who loved this Far Side cartoon

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Kicking off October the only way we know how… with a howl! 🐺🍂 #ambassadorwolf #spookyseasonishere

*girl who's never going to voice train voice* I should really voice train

Be safe, and don't you dare go hollow.

My personal timeline is full of autistic people trying to explain that there isn't more autism than before, it's just that we're better at detecting it, and there's nothing more autistic than hoping explaining something at length will help matters when nobody is really listening.

From the very first cave paintings humans have ached to see themselves reflected in the mirror of consciousness, to pass the world through a prism of common experience and make meaning from the threads of our shared humanity. Our entire economy now hinges on the idea that people don't

Ok GOP hear me out. If you ban my HRT entirely, it won't make me look like a man ever. But it will make me go through menopause and become an obnoxious bitch, which is worse actually.

As one of the co-founders of Clan Coma.Bat, I both adore and despise that Versus is the one who helped bring them to life so vividly. Adore, because Versus is a great person and incredible painter and a joy to know. Despise, because *dammit now I gotta try and paint this scheme* 😂😂😂

i would like very much to wake up one day and not have to fear for the survival of my entire community

i love how much of this is just coates going “first time?” over and over again

Christian theology makes a lot more sense when you remember that none of the early Christians had ever been pursued by a maddened polar bear

One thing about the arts is that so many people get as far as they possibly can and then build a gate to stop anyone getting further than them. And it’s your job to recognize that the gate has no walls

Current events continue to make me want to reassert my position

Speaking as someone who went to UC Santa Cruz, yeah, honestly the only thing the movie exaggerated is how many vampires live there.

Bone is still one of my favorite graphic novels of all time, and I absolutely would never have found it as a kid if it hadn't been in Disney Adventures. This article turned into one hell of a trip down memory lane in the best way!

I don't think I need to clarify my stance on the topic but these soccer folks summed it up

i made a helpful reference

i keep cracking up at this post on AI writing

God forgive me for what I have brought into this world - but then, does not the existence of the post indicate that there must be no God? Indeed a world so cruel as to allow Wernuigi Herzog to exist must truly be a Godless world - to say nothing of the existence of cinema verité.

I deserve an absurdly large gengar plush.

put trans women characters in things i am not asking i am commanding

have a selfie of your friendly neighborhood trans magical girl author because i got a new shirt

A reminder also that I love when libraries carry my books, and in fact, you can also find Magica Riot on the @queerliblib.bsky.social ! queerliblib.overdrive.com/search?query...

Was instinctively driven to draw a goddess ordering pizza and wings on doordash. It needed to exist

Kash Patel, his eyes even closer to popping, when he sees the bullets really were written on this time but the message is "Kash Patel = Stinky :("

“I use it for brainstorming.” is quickly becoming my most hated pro-AI statement. YOU TOOK YOUR BRAIN OUT OF THE EQUATION. THAT IS NOT BRAINSTORMING.

I was introduced to Borsook's work in grad school and still cite it regularly as it remains relevant!

🤔 noodles are pasta, snickerdoodles are cookies, labradoodles are dogs & poodles are the other part of a labradoodle ergo if you bake a poodle in a noodle you get a snickerpoodle snickerdoodle & if you breed that with labradoodles in noodles you get oodles an oodles snickerpoodlelabradoodle noodles
