I started this thread on twitter back in 2017. I add to it occasionally whenever the opportunity offers itself, but want to start it again so I can add to it on here. So… Amazing how grater technology has developed. My current grater (left) and an original 80s grater, the size of a brick!

Somehow this is a year old despite it being something I should have been sent 2000 times. I’m going to start using the phrase “brain-only” a lot in various bits

Every splashy New York Times profile of a right wing influencer.

I see your hard-won with the blood of workers 8/8/8 hours and raise you 20/20/60 years

Teysa Karlov is my oldest deck (was Elenda first) but I haven't played it in years, and half a dozen cards have been scrounged for last minute stream brews. I just recently got back a signed basics upgrade shipment from @mountainmagesigs.com so I'm gonna tackle reassembling and updating it!

It's amazing that nobody will understand this: They don't think. They don't remember. They have no cognition. They're pattern matching systems that produce answer-shaped responses. This is no different that giving a script admin privileges, except this script is rewritten on the fly.

He kept getting pulled over because a db typo switched a "0" with a "O" and Flock Safety kept flagging him as wanted. This could be a life or death situation if a cop is in a mood. End Flock. End mass surveillance. Learn about your local cameras here: deflock.org

The unwritten caveat here of course being that they weren't paying taxes anyway, so net loss to the state is $0 and arguably a net positive societal gain

I love Corvids so much and happy to hear there is a #CrowandRavenAppreciationDay :3 I present a painting I did a couple of years ago

New comic is up. Here are my favorite bits. www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/cr...

On Facebook Jesper Myrfors had posted this and saw he's not on Bluesky so I wanted to copy & paste it here. I may not have many connections, but this means enough to me where I feel every little bit counts. There is one more paste in the comments, too, so please share! #mtgartist #magicthegathering

So Chat GPT will be taken offline right?

THE MERCHANT

I'll say it straight: you can't voluntarily and willingly use LLMs in a way that's aligned with respect for marginalized folks, with respect for the environment, with respect for labor issues and rights, with respect for art, and with respect for the community aspects of things like open source.

The SPLC has long monitored and exposed white nationalist and Christian nationalist hate groups, so it makes sense that an administration staffed by many people sympathetic to one or both of those movements would use the DOJ to go after them.

3 out of every 5 men who died in the Civil War died of communicable disease.

“An analysis revealed multiple oddities that would not be expected for data from real people, leading Barnett and his colleagues to suspect that the data could have been fabricated. “It was an enormous surprise to come across something like that,” Barnett says.”

I think about this all the time

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

I really wish more people had paid attention when several observers tried to warn about the technofascist and eugenicist tendencies of thiel and karp and that group, for rolling up on two decades, now. And i *Really* wish the media & political actors would take the threat of them seriously, today 😕

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

the basic theory of DOGE was that if powerful people said it was fine it didn’t matter what the law said. I think proving that theory wrong is worth significant effort

"Why do we keep trusting AI?"

If it's not useful why is it fuckin' in there

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.

Not sure what I'd choose for a general translation, but if I were translating it into my own personal way of speaking... I don't know if I've started a single daily challenge run video in the past 12 years any way other than "All right..."

holy shit he actually conceded folks, they tell you they’re invincible they tell you they’re inevitable they tell you that you should give up and stop fighting and absolutely none of that is true

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

covid is still a thing, I was otherwise healthy before getting this sans a rare genetic thing that doesn't impact my life all that much otherwise who no one knew would be a high risk vector because there's just not that many of my kind of mutant, mask up in risky scenarios to dodge this shit!

It has been noticed that I played Tactical Breach Wizards, and so demands were made for Tactical Beach Wizard.

interesting that when a movie with female protagonists does poorly the response is to cancel upcoming projects with female protagonists and when a movie with female protagonists is a huge hit the response is to cancel upcoming projects with female protagonists

fun fact: if we lose the USPS, an org enshrined in the constitution, as it has historically functioned for this country's entire lifespan, the United States will collapse

"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago." If you think it is necessary to be on Twitter to communicate your fact-based worldview, the reality is that worldview is being smothered.

The rehabilitation of the luddites is a beautiful thing

Well now I'm upset too

I know Leo XIV is cool because Vance hates him or whatever but you actually don't ever have to hand it to the Catholic Church

This is catastrophic.

The Imposter Syndrome Face Possessor? The guy who always looks like he knows he’s one follow-up question away from being exposed as a fraud but he’s gobsmacked nobody will actually ask him one? Like to the point where he wonders if we’re the ones doing the bit & not him? That guy? You don’t say.

Important to remember that 15 mins ago we were on the brink of World War III, global collapse and potential nuclear Armageddon and not a single person from either party in the federal government did a single fucking thing to stop it. He got cold feet of his own volition. They didn't lift a finger.

yeah, like, it's the vilest thing a president has ever said *today*, but the day is still young. so maybe the vilest thing a US president has said in the first half of April 7th 2026?

frustrated, you leave twitter and turn on MSNBC. but 80% of its programming is now about big pants. so you open the new york times and it too is just about how you should wear big pants. you watch the new paramount film and every character is wearing the biggest pair of pants you've ever seen

imagine if i happened to be a trillionaire and bought twitter and 80% of the stuff on the site was just about big pants. you couldn't escape it. just an endless deluge of big pants propaganda

You can start drawing badly at 40 it’s fine actually.

But Bluesky is an echo chamber
