Been reading some Jeff VanderMeer fanfic

If an ominous ziggurat appeared on the moon, I would simply not go inside it

👆👆this mf doesnt believe the promise of the Lunar Ziggurat that by entering it we shall be granted knowledge and pleasures beyond our comprehension! 🤣😂😂😂 hes really opting for the harsh gray wasteland of the moon instead of the Ziggurat that draws us like a mother’s bosom! 🤣

to the moon (positive)

Realizing that some of my inexplicable sadness about the Artemis II stuff is that it feels like a trans-dimensional communication from an America that took a different path and chose joy instead of fear and hate.

Feeling emotional about the astronauts getting good grades in describing the moon

I don't think I could make a joke better than this

Gave this the soundtrack it deserves. Kubrick was onto something when he picked the Blue Danube as the Theme of Objects Floating In Space. Call me, Nutella

Why are half of you christians suddenly?

if the government gives you a choice between going to prison or murdering children and you don't choose prison you never had a drop of courage inside you. You're a coward. A worm. A disgrace.

New version of the voight kampff test where I ask you to put an em dash in a sentence and if you can remember the shortcut instead of just putting a hyphen with spaces around it I shoot you in the head

iranian lego propaganda actually has me rethinking the aesthetic value of generative ai I tell my weeping family as I am wheeled away for emergency cranial imaging

Once again, you do not actually have to hand it to the fucking pope

cry-typing on my reasonably priced laptop "please don't do illegal. Please no crime"

I feel like a lot of this is hyper-consumerism. Like: How do I hack reading? How do I get a better deal? How do I beat the system that’s trying to trick me into reading extra pages? How do I prove that I am not dumb enough to just read the book the way they hand it to me, like a chump?

Jonny points out in the thread that every single one of these magical incantations added, was added to stop Claude from doing something stupid they didn't want it to. The more likely the stupid thing is, the more spells they had to throw at it, and the more likely it is to do it in the future.

"i would misgender trans hitler" *everyone gets mad at me for increasingly confusing reasons*

"We're making it uncomfortable for all the mainstream journalists to do their work on BlueSky"

Red Rooms is good. Zone of Interest level of terrifying soundtrack. I even liked the stupid ai characters role

Of course conservatives are hypocrites. You can't shame them with their hypocrisy because it's a feature, not a bug. They don't think the laws and rules they want to apply to us SHOULD apply to them. That's the POINT.

Denne "vitsen" er i seg selv et lavmål fra Ottar. Det blir enda mer tragikomisk av å se terfene krangle med hverandre i kommentarene i en slags konkurranse om å være fornærmet.

the cis man can never fail, he can only be failed

Accidentally didn't sleep

Unfortunately the "juice" this site has is battery acid

really great how the end result of today's events, on TDoV, is a bunch of people publicly calling gay and trans people mentally ill and sending harassment directly to their accounts for telling a guy his poorly written post was poorly written

it's TDOV, reminder to stop making trans men see this shit

Israel abolished the death penalty for ordinary crimes in 1954. Today they voted to bring it back — exclusively for Palestinians.

More than 100 Palestinian detainees have already died in Israeli custody since October 2023. Dozens are still disappeared. Over 9,300 Palestinians sit in Israeli detention right now, including 350 children. Hundreds could face execution under this law.

there has to be something deeply wrong in your soul to be able to say "idk if this is a genocide and an apartheid state actually"

migraine is so fucking boring

your grandparents voting for reagan

Andy Weir (THE MARTIAN, PROJECT HAIL MARY) seems to be under the impression it is possible to write stories that don't contain politics, symbolism, messaging, or meaning. Finally, as the prophecy foretold: the Tropeless Tale

They announced new ai horseshit, and hours later the website is unusable. Masterful gambit

After tracking down the source and reading a fascist rag's transcript of it I'm honestly not sure Andy Weir understands how writing works

How I feel reading 99% of art and media critique these days

kids don’t even know how to inscribe cuneiform on clay tablets. because of woke.

I know I keep circling back to this, but I don't think k a lot of well-meaning people realise how much it rankles when the response to Harry Potter funding trans genocide is a focus on "what to read instead to be a Good Person" rather than, I dunno, more directly helping combat the trans genocide.

Åke Ohlmarks, who did the first Swedish translation of the Lord of the Rings trilogy took the criticism he received so poorly that in '82 he published a book called "Tolkien and black magic" where he accused Tolkien and his fans of ritual murder, devil worship, orgies etc. Groundbreaking corn cob.

she can literally print in the newspaper "I take every penny you give me as an enthusiastic endorsement of trans genocide" and people still want to split fucking hairs while telling me how supportive they are.

I feel like if the Harry Potter fans (a sad type of adult to be in the first place) wanted to enjoy this or that game or show in peace, they could just pirate it then -- this is the key innovation here -- shut the fuck up about it. That they seem unable to do so suggests the problem is their ego.

Shen Yun: America before gamergate

It’s a fascinating interview with a person basically trying to pull the “we’re compensating you with exposure” line and I just wanna point out that because LLMs are bullshit machines Grammarly’s “expert” feature was citing completely made-up works.

ah ok i see the problem. the “straight” is, in fact, very much bent
