finance ghouls ripping the copper out of the walls with their long, cruel teeth

The entire world being under the thumb of billionaire nazi pedophiles is so evil that it short circuits the average human brain but nevertheless we have to call it what it is if only so we can have a referendum on whether we want to keep living this way

@arcsystemworks.com Y'all really need to understand in no uncertain terms that generative AI is not welcome in gaming and releasing something that uses that garbage is absolutely disgusting, completely unacceptable, and spits in the face of everything you've ever made.

The video game industry decided to discontinue their product, the video game, in exchange for trying to make Fortnites. They have in recent years found out this doesn't work, so they have pivoted from making Fortnites to making ????????????????? nothing I guess

We're getting started! Please feel free to join us!

The job search is horrible for just about everyone but a huge chunk of the entire gaming industry lost their jobs and no one is investing in studios. There literally aren't jobs. They're not coming back for a long time. Gaming isn't a viable career at the moment, and we need to internalize that.

Governments telling professors and students what they’re not allowed to talk and think about. Nakedly authoritarian and also, should work great. There are few things young people respond to more obediently than having politicians tell them what they’re allowed to think about. s/

look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british

As long as canon never says anything interesting that ignites imagination for deeper exploration, it does not have to suffer the ravages of continuity and expectations ever again. Let us hope that canon can commence for decades of years with simple, repetitive, throw-away jokes henceforth... yes?

America has a massive gambling problem and it’s generally flying under the radar because Trump is doing something insane on a daily basis that distracts from the many other terrible things that are occuring 🥴

Could add a bunch of other things, but this is quite a bit of it at the moment.

now we're being asked to sacrifice our PCs, laptops, and smart phones for the fringe use-cases for AI. fuck this.

Yo, I don’t say this often enough, but if you head out there, mask up, because I got that respiratory/cold issue that loads of other people have been getting and it sucks.

If you’ve felt exhausted, anxious, or numb in the face of nonstop political turmoil, you’re not imagining it and you're definitely not alone. @sarahsloat.bsky.social looks at the research on the psychological and physical toll of polycrisis.

We have accusations. We have emails, videos, photos, and recordings. We have new horrors revealed daily. What we don't have are ARRESTS. No consequences. What the FUCK.

HELP ME REACH MY GOAL!!! IT IS ONE DOLLAR ko-fi.com/pokeythe

A big package on data centers that I was part of right before getting laid off from Business Insider just won a Polk Award. Nice! Congrats to that whole team—I mostly just did some writing, but they all did a *ton* of investigative and data work. www.businessinsider.com/business-ins...

After some thought, I think I'm going to play it cool and just wait for the 2029-2030 era of Pokemon TCG to get into it. Looking at it from the backdrop of all the social issues plaguing everything - health- and wealth-wise - getting and playing the game is a folly right now. Reg. Mark M or bust!

The surge in violence meted out by ICE absolutely should continue to be condemned, but I think a lot of people didn't realize or care that activists have been facing life-altering injury from cops for generations. "Law enforcement" has always been the violence. It ALL needs to stop.

Concurrently, Israel is granted impunity for the genocide and the destruction of Gaza, yet, reconstruction is dangled as a conditional privilege for the victims, just as the mirage of statehood was tantalized during the Oslo Accords.

*inhales* LET'S GOOOO!

While most of the music industry has “moved on,” COVID-conscious performers have been working to prevent their shows from being superspreaders. Read more from @katiechow.bsky.social: bit.ly/3ZIW4YQ

AI leveraged by lobby shop to ratfuck a SoCal initiative to fight global warming, is what this says. Thousands of emails sent to agency, can't tell if humans really sent them or not. AI spam vs. the planet. www.latimes.com/environment/...

Man, I really do not like the toximedis added to Jupiter Hell Classic the day before yesterday. The last couple moons can already be hard as hell, Medusas are already enough of a pain in the ass in the normal and ice varieties, but enjoy them there having poison death rays that cause poison clouds.

When the AI bubble pops these people are also going to scold you for not supporting the tech industry btw, it's gonna be funny. Lots of "wow, we had something great, but you all wouldn't adopt it fast enough"

THIS IS NOT A DRILL YOU CAN GET EVERY DISCWORLD TOME ON EBOOK FOR LESS THAN THE COST OF A SUBWAY FOOTLONG COMBO. USUALLY GETTING EVERY SINGLE BOOK LEGALLY IS LIKE 400+ NOT. A. DRILL. www.humblebundle.com/books/terry-...

The President is lying to the public: 1) For the past century, the federal government has been responsible for the Potomac Interceptor – not Maryland. The sewage pipe is on federal land. youtu.be/OKyIKHW8ONI

Jesse Jackson came to the Tacoma Dome to speak to high school students. My friend and I went because we could miss school. We intended to roll our eyes and make fun of it all. Did not take long until we were cheering and I Am Somebodying along. In retrospect, we hadn’t thought we were somebody.

Disabled people & those who cannot afford to get Covid deserve to be able to see art in public and make art in public.

✍️ 😷 Tomorrow! Tomorrow! Join us for a free webinar! The Sick Times editors @mileswgriffis.bsky.social and @betsyladyzhets.bsky.social — plus special guest speakers — will demystify the process of writing and pitching op-eds and essays on Long COVID. Hope to see you there: bit.ly/4qLFHWq

Okay, let's get the AI discussion entirely out of the hype-and-theory realm. For the "I'll just vibe code and trust the LLM folks," here's an interesting page showing results from asking several LLMs to perform a simple coding task (creating an HTML/CSS clock): [clocks.brianmoore.com/]. 1/6

Be sure not to throw away that old computer you have if it still works. You may have need of it later.

I seriously want more support and less pressure. I’m a disabled, chronically ill person relying on $ from my elderly mother every month to survive. I am supposed to magically be able to find an apartment with AC that allows pets. GF just tried to push one without AC bc we have a portable one. 🧵

At this point, so many people at the DOJ have seen the Trump–Epstein files in their entirety and are still choosing to protect the pedophiles involved. Not sure how they can live with themselves, I guess they’re pathetic sociopaths without human empathy or emotions. Just so pathetic and disgusting.

Let me get this straight, you can't run Windows 10 anymore but Windows 11 won't work on computers past a certain age because of all the a.i stuff. So you have to upgrade to a new computer in order to run Windows 11 but because of the a.i. they are no longer selling RAM or hard drives to end users.

Federal judge rules ICE can't take Kilmar Abrego Garcia back into custody via @arianalfigueroa.bsky.social wisconsinexaminer.com/2026/02/17/r...

I am frequently disappointed by games that had hundreds of talented professionals doing their best for years, with budgets in the tens (or even hundreds) of millions of dollars, and you think genAI is going to be able to make a game I won't mock mercilessly? Have you ever even played a videogame?

I still think the best way to think of the ending of US AID is as the single worst genocide committed by any one US presidential administration. even given all the horrific things the US has done, it's not really that close. 750k dead already; expected 14 million.

It’s so hard to have a reasonable conversation about AI, because people refuse to see the massive upsides of job elimination, higher electrical bills, hard drive shortages, poisoning black people in Memphis, and an economy where a handful of pedos with bad hair control your life

I couldn't forward the article but I think the headline says it all.

48 years ago this week, Ward Christensen launched the first public dialup BBS, creating the first online community. It took inspiration from public bulletin boards in supermarkets and libraries. #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing dfarq.homeip.net/first-bbs-go...

Let me tell you what happens when they can’t manufacture enough parts for critical medical equipment: the companies will exit making that equipment and your insurance company will say “too bad, do your best to keep it working”. Phillips did this with pediatric ventilators.
