they want a global order with a few hundred white male billionaires on the top, a few thousand servants and technicians and guards to serve them, and a few billion slaves living in precarity that they do not give a fuck about. thats what they're goin for, and they're most of the way to it.

Rich people don't like to think, so they can't understand the working class who has to think everyday and why they don't like something that thinks for them, because they can't understand what having your own thoughts is like

And I'm so angry at how fast this got put into schools. I remember how hard it was to get a computer class back in high school; a year of typing classes, then all they gave us was a class on WordPerfect, not even command line shit. But they're putting this falsehood/suicide generator for free.

Hey @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team please unsuspend Goran immediately. Goran is a great person, a great artist, and the whole anti-Palestine thing youre on is one of those "Ford funding Hitler" disasters you remember being shocked and dismayed by when you learned of in middle school.

The Singularitarian fantasists who want us to elevate machines to consciousness are not interested in the happiness of all beings. They want to degrade the biological body to a mere vessel, one they can discard. It's bunk theology for men who believe they're too smart and special to die.

almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.

~1 yr ago we sent a Giving Tuesday email to our tiny mailing list shortly after starting our own publication. In the time since, we have been overwhelmed by how many of you find our work worth supporting. No email this time around. But if you'd like to support indie media today, here's how:

Oh this is a good one, almost enough to make me reconsider my lack of interest in post-1700 military history!

Del Toro's Mountains of Madness, or Kingdom Hearts with each "world" fully animated in the style of its originating film. Or, I just bully New Line into giving its Hunt for Gollum movie to Robert Eggars.

I did not know this, but it explains so much

A BIG @kickstarter.com pledge cancelled. We dropped 14% overnight. It happens. If this story matters to you: RT, share, tell someone. bit.ly/croc-dance-ks The Mami Wata doesn't go down that easy. We're going to make this film! #projectwelove #kickstarter #indiefilm #defiant

Gotta start telling people to watch Jaws: the Revenge for the same reason

A network to track and report devastating interview occurrences in realtime, call that ChotSpotter

If you haven't heard the cover by The Hu, you should go listen. Mongolian Folk Metal and Maiden go together very very well. youtu.be/2WrvFUZgHro?...

This was posted about the Frieren angle story, but is just as applicable to that Grok "roast" thing.

We got the electric payment plan restored. But rationing half doses of this med that jumped ~$200, getting low. Every boost matters! 🙏 Tips: ko-fi.com/revcasey https://paypal.me/tpipc (credit/debit option): https://bit.ly/payrev Games: www.drivethrurpg.com... #MutualAid #TTRPG #Helpsky

Dinosaurs eat man, woman inherits the earth, Charlie Brown

This is remarkable!

Thinking of the Helmand Culture woman from Shahr-e Sukhteh in Iran with the sick ass golden artificial eye again.

the key feature of "bad photoshop" was not that it was "bad" but that you could see the hand of the person who made it. "bad photoshop" is a triumph of human will over technical stumbling blocks. it's why the shaggs are magical and AI Music Slop is forgotten before you can even finish listening

millions of belles dames a year are avec merci, yet the media focuses on the one or two who are sans merci

A movie that takes place where you’re from. Oh yeah. Easy pick.

Amazing incorrect lyrics on the karaoke machine yesterday

Its updated Felix The Cat. Oswald if he had powers. Mickey Mouse if he was cool. A friend to smaller animals and protector of the natural environment. I wanted to BE this guy when I was a kid 😅

Excellent speech by @charliejane.bsky.social about imagination in service to society. Great stuff. buttondown.com/charliejane/...

Six different viziers are currently wrestling over the phone that’s logged into Truth Social

PLEASE tell every author you know about this!

If we have a kid we are absolutely forbidding Roblox. I know I will inevitably cave on a number of other stupid things all their little friends are doing, but this is a hard line in the sand that no amount of screaming will change.

I only got half, maybe better than average for a white person but not great. Lots of room for improvement!

This is not in disagreement with OP at all, but I think we all quietly, lowkey imagine the very funny "are we the baddies" bit could be a real thing. But like, they know they're the bad guys. They think it makes them cool. Later, after you destroy them and their movement, they'll pretend otherwise

Pope Leo XIV understands technology and its relationship to art better any executive or AI-pilled techbro running the conference circuit.

The Washington Post is just straight up spreading misinformation. Total witchcraft. Not a single person at the Post has any basis for the claim that "increased enforcement of tougher laws" either happened at all or reduced murder. Maybe someone should write a book about it...

Additional Tip: Gmail is being a pissy crybaby and will dump all your promotions and social emails into your inbox, I ended up with 24,000 of them. Before switching off the setting, go in and clean out your social and promotions tabs because those will go away once you turn off smart features.

Warp drives. Orbital habitats. Space elevators. The golden age of 20th century science fiction produced dreams with some things in common — they're extensively designed, in no sense real, and possibly strangling the future. @goldwagnathan.bsky.social on the weird platonism of sci-fi for Heat Death!

So why didn't Biden do it?

I adore miniminuteman and his efforts as a science/history communicator, fighting the tide of bullshit out there. But he left one important note out of his vid on the "mystery" out the Roanoke colony. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDl5...

As far as I'm concerned, anyone speaking positively of Obama-era Democrats is angling for this exact future.

"The richest man in the world built a robot to tell people he's cool" is the saddest, most bulliable fucking Twilight Zone thing in the world. You fucking LOSER. All that money and not a fucking _whiff_ of charisma. Start giving yourself a wedgie, you fucking dork, it'll take me time to get there.

Hellfire has already been mentioned but also: Scar's cunty lil Be Prepared Zira, Scar's sidepiece's, cunty little Lullaby

I am also avoiding the segregationist department store that's partnering with the plagiarism chatbot, and the burnt coffee purveyor whose employees are currently striking.

Good thread about writing, and eventually about AI

You can measure an economy's actual, real life, concrete health by: are people able to do their own weird shit? Do they have money to survive doing their weird shit? Do they have the free time to do that weird shit? Fuck the metrics, just look for the dirtbags and artists and musicians and writers

HAHAAHHAHAAHHAAA Anthropic has posted two jobs, both paying $200K+. FOR WRITERS. (Looks like a policy/comms hybrid.) ANTHROPIC. IS WILLING TO PAY HALF A MILLION A YEAR. FOR WRITERS. Whatsamatter boys, can't your plagiarism machine make a compelling case for you? LOL. LMAO, even. #AI

David Byrne, by David LaChapelle, from 10/11/25’s The New Yorker.

I don't even have kids and this is infuriating. Why did we concede our entire society to people who think the sole purpose of human existence is to generate free money for the already-wealthy??

#3157 A helpful tutorial

Brand New Cherry Flavor is, incidentally, a really good miniseries
