Dude I hate restaurant reviews where they yap about how the staff didn't grovel at their feet and answer to their every whim. Tell me if the food was good and if the place was clean. I need review pages to offer filter options to get rid of all the goofy aristocrats

An obsessive love of mechanical design and, well, Bubble Economy Japan money to throw at personal passion projects. Makoto Kobayashi's live action mecha animatronics opening to obscure 1988 OVA Dragon's Heaven. Reportedly, financed out of his own pocket. #VideoBytes

JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.

Gods, I can't wait to get all this con stuff behind me so I can hop on VRchat for a bit again. Mid of August can both not come soon enough and needs to stay the hell away so I can finish all this in time.

Why the hell are we doing this in a time where digital storage is becoming more and more expensive and hasn't gone down yet?

You can do it in under 9 seconds so carry a marker and treat yourself to a fun little game next time you see swastika graffiti.

Alternatively, by boxing it up as in step 1 you can turn it into Loss with even less effort and that's funny as hell.

The political story of this era is a petulant, narcissistic generation demanding to ruin a future they will not be a part of. Pulling the ladder up behind them wasn’t enough; their arrogance and vanity demanded more.

When an artist is cancelled, is there anything more annoying than the "I never liked them anyway" brigade who treat it as moral validation of their subjective taste? I guarantee, there's more than a few wronguns amongst the people you like too.

Published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Peer-reviewed. Large sample size. Sound methodology. An antiviral pill has, for the FIRST time, been shown to PREVENT COVID-19 in individuals exposed to SARS-CoV-2. Ensitrelvir blocks the enzyme coronaviruses need to make new copies of themselves.

Never getting over how hilariously powerful I've made my Ganyu, turning the most annoying weekly boss into a thirty odd second breeze.

@gooseworx.bsky.social and her team knocked it out of the park. Genuinely great execution. Thank you so much for the opportunity to see it in cinemas!

HAH

It’s hard to imagine any technology that has ever fucked it this badly, and purely through arrogance, it’s like if the people who invented the car decided to showcase its utility by driving over your family dog and then backing up and doing it again, and also the car sucked and was bad

Happy Pride month to the whole LGBTQNJ+ rainbow!

Happy pride! Reminder, I may be a grouch but I'm also doubly bound under the flag so yaaaaay. 🏳️‍🌈

Remembering when Trails of Cold Steel required you to mod the game if you wanted JP voice acting ...except the ENG dub had extra voice lines that were silent in JP, so they weren't replaced by the mod and you got stuff like this

05:58 intercity train yesterday. One other chap on the platform. He opened a 250ml bottle of rum and necked half of it just before our train arrived. And I could only find admiration in my heart for such an amazing act of self-destruction. The hi-viz workwear only added to it.

Company costs should not be frosted into households. Ever.

Bluesky isn't a bubble or an echo chamber, it's a garden. You plant some seeds and pull some weeds, you tend to it with care, and you make it into a space that pleases you when you come to sit in it a while. Other people can plant and tend to their own gardens, if they like. This garden is yours.

Feeling sassy, made a thing

Hey. You have friends for a reason. Whatever you're going through, is not something you gotta do alone. Its not weak or embarrassing to ask for an open ear or even more significant help. 👏 Don't bottle things up, reach out.

CA’s transparency bill AB-412 (which forces GenAi companies to disclose if their datasets are using YOUR copyrighted works) is in a slow march to become a bill. Also due to massive tech opposition, they make us all work for it every step of the way. Don’t let em win, sign the petition below asap!👇

If current tech has intelligence of any sort, then it has rights. If it has rights, then how we currently use it is tantamount to slavery and we should probably halt all current/future use/development until we develop an ethical framework for INVITING it to work with us. I don't see that happening.

On a software project, I used dummy text as a placeholder to be replaced later with actual descriptive error messages. Predictably, not all instances were fixed before release, and bemused corporate clients reported "Error: There is sauerkraut in my lederhosen".

I sext for extra cash. Ive just had an 82 yo old man refer to their car as a 'wank chariot'. I'm done.

I was 18 and it was autumn. I had my head shaved then got an anarchy sign tattooed on my scalp. I wore a hat until late spring when I had a full head of hair. I'm now in my early 40s, have male pattern baldness and a job in banking. This won't end well.

Using the rules of linear perspective to combat ai slop can I get a hell yeah

10% of people are absolute diamonds, 80% you can more or less deal with, and the remaining 10% are irredeemable shits. I think most people would find these figures broadly accurate.

NASA just dropped more than 12,000 photos from the Artemis II mission. It'll take me a few days to go through them all, but so far it's one stunner after another. Link: eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos... Credit: NASA/Artemis II Crew (h/t @jonostrower.com)

Oh fuck that sounds delici- OH FUCK THE COPS

Wyrwolfism (or lovanthropy) is a sexually transmitted fae disease that causes Kin to turn into weird, aggressive creatures in areas of high background magic. It’s easy to avoid spreading, but the disease is actively sought after by girls that read stories about boys getting other boys bum pregnant.

GAMEOVERSE OFFICIALLY DROPS MAY 15! We are SO excited to share with you this special animated pilot that RubberRoss has been working on for years. We hope you enjoy it! The team has been working hard to make this an amazing watch 💖

If you play AI-generated "music" or have AI "art" on the walls of your shop or cafe, it tells me that you're OK with stealing from creators and so I feel no moral compunction in shoplifting from you
