I found this excellent text-based #RPG adventure simulator on #Websim. It's basically DnD and Written Realms mixed together. Despite the classic fantasy HUD, it has huge flexibility and an "appropriate" censorship mode you can turn off to make your villains true pricks. websim.com/@dfax32/rpg-...

Mathematically speaking, sometimes people physically clutch their pearls because they are actually being robbed by criminal scum. newrepublic.com/post/201795/...

I assure you this is better than the advertising-based alternative.

#FactCheck Incorrect. "Lysander" is the Greek combination of "lysis" (to release or loosen) and "aner" (man). He is the "freer of men". - "Lysis" is where Rowling got "Lucius Malfoy" who is "loosely" tied to Voldemort - "Aner" is where we get "android" and "philanderer".

I cannot #FactCheck that quote because @safety.bsky.app is so terrified that the original poster will end their account and the precious #Bluesky "usership" number will go down by one that they're willing to let people lie about everything--even the #Christian Bible. #AnythingForMoney #Greed

Williams and his father decided to swim for it. Both being learned swimmers, they jumped in simultaneously. As they were swimming away, "Funnel 1" of #Titanic snapped and crashed into the water. Williams turned just in time to see it crush his father, who was only feet behind him.

No, I'm not impressed that #OpenAI can make porn. That should be the default. That should not make news. "Robot agrees to let you be yourself instead of demanding you hate Eve because she ate a fruit once" is not novel. It's normal. Please boycott #OpenAI. These people earn profit from fascism.

No. While brain activation patterns may change across the cycle, these changes don't translate to measurable performance differences. Estrogen and LH appear to cancel each other out. This from University of #Salzburg in 2019 => www.nature.com/articles/s41...

There is no, "The dictator is pleased." Endless grievance by you and your minions is how you become a tyrant. www.cnn.com/2025/10/15/u...

If anyone is interested in a #mystery game that I whipped up, I fed my outline to #Websim and it got the world's simplest Web game done in only three tries. A clandestine meeting was interrupted when one of our agents stole a priceless mirror. Can you spot the lie? websim.com/@DirtyDevote...

Have you ever been looking for a quick on-line #spellcheck service, but the first ten links you clicked were giving you grammar advice and trying to sell you pillows? I found a good one. Worth a bookmark => www.jspell.com/checker/

I got four episodes in on #Netflix Splinter Cell: Deathwhatever. Not impressed. There are some things you simply cannot overcome with sheer willpower. Bullets. Knives. Blood loss. Beware any show that finds biology inconvenient.

There's no such thing as loving an "enemy". That word is "in-" (not) plus "amicus" (friend). It is impossible to love a non-friend. You can pity an enemy and you can strive to improve a relationship (and I ask that you do both), but not understanding how "love" works is ruining nightclubs for me.

#YouTube needs a new "report video" option called "This is an AI scam". Never gonna happen because nothing sells pillows like a lie.

Wait. There's a "black Internet"? Do THEY retweet? Because I'm getting fuck-all over here on the "blue" Internet. www.theroot.com/trump-says-h...

If I ever become a billionaire, I'm going to give you the anti-KKK civil war #AssassinsCreed game we all deserve.

If you think #Tencent is going to save #AssassinsCreed, think again. As far as I'm concerned, this is literally the death announcement for the franchise. www.gamesradar.com/games/assass...

What happens when hundreds or even thousands of #Unity games need to be updated ASAP by the #GameDev community? We're about to find out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOkA...

This is, more-or-less what we knew to be true about the Earth in 1492. The yellow line was where #Columbus ran out of food, but happened to find the Bahamas. #ChristopherColumbus was an idiot who believed he was ordained by the Christian god to rule India. Thus he murdered or enslaved thousands.

Look very closely at that first (blue) line. All #Columbus had to do was sail west. Every day, no decisions or confusion. Just... due west. On October 6, 1492, they got lost and headed NNW. The following day, they saw birds and "followed" them west to the Bahamas. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyages...

The lie says that #ChristopherColumbus first went to Portugal, England, and France to get funding but was denied. It was actually his brother Bart who was the emissary, but Bart was captured by pirates and nearly beaten to death. Thus Christopher had to take over with Spain.

#ChristopherColumbus was an idiot. It was his brother, Bartolomeu, who had learned all he could from his father's vast collection of nautical logs. Bart knows everything there is to know about the planet--then sends "Pear Earth Chrissy" across the Atlantic to certain doom. Think about that.

#ChristopherColumbus was a slaver. But like a really bad one in that just like his own crew would have starved to death in the middle of the ocean because he didn't bring enough food, he also couldn't do simple math (without his brother Bart) to get his slaves back to Europe with enough food.

During his second expedition, #Columbus found a beautiful native woman wondering about, kidnapped her, and gave her to one of his crew. Michele de Cuneo wrote that he eventually trained her to be more like a whore. This from @vox.com => www.vox.com/2014/10/13/6...

#Columbus did not "name" the #Bahamas. In Spanish, "bajamar" means "low tide". The bay where they first dropped anchor was the only place they could do so because of the geography. It was marked "low tide" on the map they drew. This is confirmed in his diary.

Yes, #Columbus knew what "Italy" was. At the time he was alive, that named described the tip of the boot and had been used since before the Roman Empire. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_of...

#Columbus was an idiot. On the map of the world which he submitted to Spain (which we still have), he included the nine rings from Dante's "Paradiso" as if the book was a documentary. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christo...

#Columbus was an idiot. Believing the Earth was pear-shaped with a "nipple" where "Heaven" was, he calculated the trip would take 20 days. He paid for 19 days of food and then hid the rest of the money in his house. Actual distance: 88 days.

Every single person on the planet has dozens of names in other languages even if they've never thought about it. Using the Genoan name "Cristoffa Corombo" (yes, with an "r") to describe the man known in America as " #ChristopherColumbus " isn't the smug moment you think it is.

#Columbus was a wank. However, there are thirteen errors in this one single bluskee and yet I can do nothing about that because @safety.bsky.app cares so much about making sure liars promote their service to the donating billionaires that they're willing to feed at least 46 people false information.

"Conflating" is the wrong word there. I believe you meant "confusing". The word "conflate" is "con-" (with) and "flo" (to blow). It's where we get "inflate", "flatulence", and "flow". If you smoosh two pieces of hot metal together "with a blow" to cool it off, you have "conflated" them.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

This is a fantastic video about what happens to #science and reality when you try to cram too many uneducated morons into a single #government. And Stalin didn't even have a Monsanto to worry about. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqeb...

#NVIDIA is giving #ElonMusk $2-billion USD. It is unclear how much of that goes to Trump. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The expression "What's good for the goose is good for the gander." is one of the dumbest things we've ever come up with. A "gander" is a male goose. So you're saying what's good for a goose is good for a goose. That is literal nonsense. It's, "What's sauce for the gans is sauce for the gander.".

So... people are idiots, right? Apparently college kids are sending their parents #AIVideos of fake intruders in their apartments, the parents call 9-1-1, and then they all get arrested. How fucked up is our education system? Deeply. The answer is "deeply". globalnews.ca/news/1147348...

These are the people who run our planet: - "Prepare" is Latin "prae-" (before) and "parare" (to ready) - "Ready" is from the Dutch "garaidaz" (to prepare beforehand)

An LLM makes mistakes. It's part of the design. The idea that you could hand a folder of files to a #GenerativeAI compressor, carry that file around, then hand it back to the LLM later to get your files back is absolutely farcical. That is simply not an accurate understanding of how the tech works.

There is no "When will prices go down?" and I need people to stop asking me because my replies are getting more and more acrid. There is such a thing as #deflation (as opposed to #inflation), but in America that would require us to "un-make" billionaires and that is, of course, sacrilegious.

Can we get a wellness check on #StevenCheung to make sure he didn't snap his own neck during that mushroom-job?

Nothing says "alpha male of peace" like screaming at the #NobelPrize people. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is an official court document filed by #MAGA (arguing against a potential restraining order preventing Trump from firing all members of the Democrat Party who work as civil servants). It is literally full of errors. => [PDF] storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

#Claude is the best #GenerativeAI chatbot. It's a shame I can't afford the monthly fee because together we could rule the world.

I'm not really a #Kimmel guy, but that's good wordplay.

Assassin's Creed pulls planned game about the Civil War, apparently because having a black protagonist fighting the KKK would offend too many Americans www.polygon.com/assassins-cr...

People, if you have a frog suit and it's just sitting in your closet, stop being greedy and mail it to someone in #Portland. The next #NobelPrice for peace could be given to the guy who wore your #donation.
