the struggle of being a fat Cerberus

It continues to be bonkers that Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is the one that The Fans objected to. Like are the game's politics rancid? Yeah! It's like Starship Stroopers: The Movie, but sincere! Like Starship Troopers: The Novel! But that's normal for COD and it rules in every other way!

Important update: I have received word from insiders that Crunchyroll executives have deemed the user backlash to be small enough that their subtitle enshittification & OOONA plans will NOT be cancelled, only delayed. I have added an update to the article. There's a summary at the top now too.

Why so photogenic? What is he posing for?

remember kids -

1. Good riddance. 2. I am already seeing people on the left praising her and saying she should join the Democrats. HER ENTIRE RESIGNATION SPEECH WAS DUMPING ON TRANS PEOPLE AND IMMIGRANTS. www.huffpost.com/entry/marjor...

If we were moving in the right direction politically and culturally, chiropractors would be in prison

Excuse to post a classic?

I do want to Let Them Fight (tm) within the ranks of the gop, but I also want every clip of MTJ that circulates to include the context of who she still really is bc I do *not* trust the American electorate to not put her in an even higher office based on the media giving her "reasonable vibes"

I remember years ago reading about an image recognition test where they tried to get a bot to distinguish dog breeds in pictures It kept seeing huskies in pictures even without dogs in them Turned out its training images always had huskies in the snow Its pattern recognition thought snow = huskies

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

This is everything rancid about Online Trans Gal Culture in one image good lord

Y'all know she's setting up a presidential run, right. Like, we're all aware.

Not cursed at all

"Powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4o model by default...tests repeatedly showed that the AI toy dropped its guardrails the longer a conversation went on, until hitting rock bottom on incredibly disturbing topics."

I mean trumps still pretending the 2020 election was stolen I don’t see why we can’t just say he actually sucked off bill clinton for as long as we want

To the best of my knowledge this is basically Mastercard Threat Intelligence and Recorded Future in a nutshell, and it’s easy to see how this could be used to discriminate based on numerous other qualities

DOJ is attempting to weaponize the privileged and confidential communications with private counsel and plaintiffs who brought lawsuits against gender affirming care. Attorneys at DOJ Civil resigned rather than targeting trans youth and their providers. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

A party that couldn't endorse Mamdani. . . has room for Marjorie Taylor Greene The party can burn in hell

I can understand asking for nuance in these discussions, but deliberately muddying the water by bringing up automation tools that people understand are not generative AI and asking for a middle ground is disingenuous. The nuanced position is that people are roundly rejecting the tech, respect that.

What the fuck

"Players don't read" of the Devil fixes this by giving gamers poker chips for proving their reading comprehension 🧠

I haven’t checked my mail in along while and was delighted to see a package from @sandypuggames.bsky.social - the physical copy of Hellpiercers came in. The art is gorgeous, and tactical RPGs give my brain a good yummy itch. I’m excited to dig in and invade Hell with my queer friends

Dems: Mamdani is too radical for our taste. Plus someone said he's antisemitic. And that name is scary to us! We need to keep him out. Dems, 1 week later: Look lots of people have tattoos like that Dems, 2 weeks later: Marjorie Taylor Greene, welcome to the Tent

Its trans awareness week. Please show you are aware of me here.

collective memory is something you have to work at constantly, and the persistent drumbeat of land acknowledgements is an extremely valuable way to produce widespread consciousness of basic material fact of dispossession and genocide

my wokest opinion is that land acknowledgements are fine. people knowing a little bit about the land you're on, even if one isn't invested in a land back project, is not particularly worse than the status quo, even if one comes by this info in a way that is somewhat cringe and forced

Many people dismissed the announcement Catholic hospitals will ban gender-affirming care nationwide under the assumption that there will be other options. In reality, Catholic hospitals make up as much 46% of options in some states. This map is 2020, prior to Trump’s assault on safety net hospitals.

Calling LLMs AI has to be one of the greatest marketing “successes” of all time. People, including ones who run companies, have been hearing the phrase “AI” in pop culture for 60 years. They hear about AI, assume the product is what the term has always meant, & proceed as though it’s fucking Data.

Nestlé worried AI will destroy world’s water supply before they do

3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment. 2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.

I’m proud of my fat tits o7

*thwack*

Valve understands that gay trans people buy video games and right-wing weirdos just watch Asmongold streams and dump their income on Kirsche’s Throne

Assuming "what if [X] is in there" IS being asked, asking it implies (a) the asker believes exceptions can be made RE: CSA, and (b) at least one of those exceptions is "they play on my team". If a person can make convenient exceptions for CSA, then their thoughts are bad & they should feel bad.

the issue is number go up this is what's killing the world what's enticing depravity what's eroding democracy kill the cell in your head that wants number go up.

This does not mean you should shovel money into the pockets of bigots. That's obviously bad. But knowing the artist is a bad person does not suddenly disrupt the timestream. What was once good does not magically become bad. You don't need to pretend you never enjoyed things, or performatively deny.

This is less a subtweet, and more of a thought I just want to get out there: Bad people can make good art. When a game that people liked turns out to have been made by someone shitty, it doesn't instantly become bad. You don't have to go full Sour Grapes on it. Two things can be true at once.

C R Y I N G this is so perfect lmao x: www.instagram.com/reel/DQ7cPSf...

labels are so cool on bluesky

This is what premiums spike to for a man with cancer who is a taxi driver in Arizona. This is with Ambetter, operated by the corporation Centene. We need to abolish for-profit healthcare, prosecute all insurance execs for systemic murder, & nationalize the medical industry. Deny, defend, depose.

Stop with the “if democrats were smart” “if they want to succeed” if they if they if they If they wanted to they would

ITS NOT ENTIRELY BECAUSE THEY ARE STUPID ITS BECAUSE THEY ARE OWNED BY CAPITAL DO YOU THINK THESE PEOPLE KEEP GETTING OUTSMARTED BY DONALD FUCKING TRUMP WAKE UP

1/ NEW: We identified 20 people who attended a white nationalist conference and, despite their efforts to keep it secret, caught another 30 people on film to identify in the future. Several MMA/combat sports instructors were discovered and their gyms have cut ties. 🧵👇

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.
