Weird

Recently, one of my closest friends, the funny, talented and kind @ettin.itch.io, lost his mother, after acting as his family's primary care support for a decade. She's why he has a career as a writer. He is trying to cover the costs of her cremation, and needs our support: gofund.me/40f37091a

Dear everyone, I am still uninterested in the specific AI features you have added to your app, please leave me alone.

Writers and artists and creatives of all sorts: reply with a link to one of your works, if you'd like. And feel free to tell us about it. Everyone: let's check through the replies and buy some creations and support some human beings.

Hey, look! WEAR MASKS, INHALING TINY PARTICLES OF FOREIGN MATERIAL IS BAD. Love from coal and steel mill country.

My library only allows 10 holds. Contemplating methods to get multiple library cards.

"Beginning with Mazelle Washington’s life as a young actress. Fifty years after Mazelle’s death...A monster lurks outside Mazywood, hidden for generations, and Johnny brought his family to its hunting grounds."

When reading books on the history of Europe, I came across a great deal of nonsense. Many countries have a very subjective view of their history. There are also many popular misconceptions. This article gives an overview of the creation of myths in history. It is both informative and entertaining.

“As we go about our daily lives, caste is the wordless usher in a darkened theater, flashlight cast down in the aisles, guiding us to our assigned seats for a performance. The hierarchy of caste is not about feelings or morality. It is about power—which groups have it and...

Really weird how it's artists who are already established financially that are using and excited about generative AI

One of my best friends passed away a couple weeks ago and I miss him, his name is Mark

The obsession with novelty and the idea that art has an expiration date is fundamentally detrimental to society.

Remember in season 1 of Euphoria where in Cassie's episode we learned she was pretty good at figure skating and then it was never mentioned again?

My best friend is on hospice with cancer. He's dying. He's in pain. I can't help.

And also- it’s funny how these men didn’t even feel the vaguest impulse to protect anybody around them, but a bunch of teenagers in a classroom are supposed to be throwing erasers at a shooter. And the teacher is supposed to be jumping in front of bullets to protect kids.

There is a direct throughline from this and the rise in global authoritarianism. Authoritarianism is actively hostile toward the arts and intellectualism, and thus imagination. When people say that AI is a “fascist project,” this is explicitly what they’re referring to.

Something we don’t address enough is how many people, especially adults, do not have a working imagination.

this is america. you could find yourself within 100yds of a shooting at any time, in any place. school, the grocery store, a movie theater, a block party, a public park… it happens to regular people every day. but this week we’ll get 50+ weepy op-eds because it happened to the guys who write op-eds

Also, why the assumption that DT and Friends were the target, and not the journalists? That's kind of insulting.

Ok, it's silly to think that people keep honestly trying to assassinate Donald Trump, and he has sustained zero injury, nor has anybody in his administration

Telling people about the good, useful use cases for AI is kinda like telling people about the 30-50 feral hogs you need your AR-15 for It is entirely true and yet so completely divorced from the lived experience of your audience that you sound ridiculous

I want pancakes. I do not have pancakes. I have leftover spaghetti. And no maple syrup.

So like, there was Sex and the city, and we had personality tests about which character we were. Did the younger do that with Girls? And do people do that with Euphoria, now? Because CHRIST.

“White Catholics and Hispanic Catholic voters diverge sharply in their voting patterns. White Catholics have steadily aligned themselves more frequently with Republicans over the last decade.“

We should not even pretend to be fucking in charge of anyone else, while telling US citizens that we can't afford their healthcare and feeding the children you ghouls are insisting people have (young!) because of "declining birthrate". ground.news/article/iran...

How do y'all feel about the Firefly revival thing going on? I'm still irritated at Adam Baldwin for replying to me rudely on Twitter in 2015. I enjoy my pettiness.

“Now, that’s not true is it Mr. President?” said no reporter ever.

Is the Problem Child 2 pizza place fight scene not a core memory for anyone else? youtu.be/TUUizeBD2lw?...

The one fucking time I don't put a divider between my groceries, because they were all the way back on the belt, the cashier scans my stuff withthe lady in front of me. This is why I do it every fucking time

ACAB includes Veronica Mars and Grissom, and Castle, and Rookie (hey, Fillion again), and Criminal minds. I'm sorry, I like procedurals too, but the point stands.

Anyway, I do my best not to buy things from Walmart *or* Target, but it turns out that there's no ethical consumption under capitalism, and I hate everyone. I'm disabled, don't have access to transportation, or small businesses (without getting shit delivered by a big asshole business)

Anyway, working into One Piece live action rn

Ok, I'm confused. Is tsking the same sound as sucking your teeth? Or have I just been making censurious noises incorrectly for 42 years?

megyn kelly is 55 years old and mark levin is 68

Trump comes to Mark Levin’s defense after Megyn Kelly said that Levin has a micropenis.

17 years into the war, they're like "in this one week span, the US declared victory over two dozen times, lost 4,000 soldiers and a dozen planes, completely destroyed Iran's military 40 separate times, and also somehow lost an aircraft carrier twice"

That poor historian, looking at just one day of official US communications, like "ok so 11 years into the war on this day Iran: surrendered 4 times, sunk 6 ships, was 100% percent destroyed 10 times, and then continued its 11 year blockade of the Strait of Hormuz"

We already won the war, we're winning the war, we will win the war. We will have been winning the war. Other countries are sending forces to help us, they will send forces to help us, they should send forces to help us but aren't, they would be sending forces to help us but aren't being allowed to.

Police procedural shows are honestly the fascist propaganda of states that are officially democracies. It's why so many of them get made in the "land of the free".

You know what's tragic? I don't think we make $50 boots anymore. You can find boots going for up to $500, but they'll be shit quality with an expensive brand name. We no longer make quality products. The rich have all of their HQ stuff tailor-made while we enjoy 100 variants of overpriced $15 boots.

How and why does Ryan Murphy pull the actors he does? For multiple shows and seasons? Especially the true crime stuff? Ugh.

@bphillipsonmp.bsky.social is a child abuser so im gonna go with the lawyers on this one. like, seriously, she's reintroduced a more extremist form of section 28 so i have no doubt in my mind she'd gleefully abuse SEND children.
