Look Spotify, I understand *why* you tried to transition from She Used To Be Mine to Born This Way, but just... don't 😂

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

That's two weeks in a row that I've received a message from an internal finance department that explicitly indicated that student education is not considered "UCLA business" and I'm just like then what the fuck are we doing here???

I've had a very weird uptick in spam texts and emails this weekend 😬

Had a weird conversation yesterday with someone who kept being like okay sure it's evil but aren't you amazed by AI? And he was shocked that I was just like, no, it's routinely wrong and produces worse quality than just hiring a person, why would I be???

Accidentally followed a normie friend on Instagram from my kink account, desperately hoping I unfollowed fast enough that they didn't notice 🙈

we need to abolish this shit

Mainstream American Protestantism is basically a bronze age-esque civic religion where the purpose of the faith and community is, expressly, to justify and reinforce state authority

A Nice Indian Boy was very cute and I have a very big crush on Karan Soni

Crazy how with these people it's always AI that's "here to stay like it or not" and never like gender affirming medical procedures or something

I feel decidedly less interested in continuing to play the post credits story in Hades 2 then in the first game. The Vows don't provide the same meaningful progression to work towards as the Pact of Punishment, and the gameplay loop feels less satisfying, despite ostensibly being the same...

It’s this multiple times a day

when someone says "my dice are cursed" you sort of have to agree with them because if you say "marius you are a grown man and I know you know that's not how probability works" they won't say anything but they'll treat you like you are in league with the cursed dice

I simply do not get the argent skull. It doesn't seen to be particularly good at anything another weapon isn't better at, and it bores me to death to play.

There's a bill on Gavin Newsom's desk right now that would stop monopoly utility companies from adding the costs of their lobbying and PR campaigns into customers' bills. It's unclear if Newsome will sign the bill, despite 93% of voters agreeing with its premise.

whenever i encounter people who say they can't understand shakespeare verses I always send them this clip from the 2019 Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing

Reached credits in Hades 2

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

just watched a dozen people ask microsoft copilot experts their most pressing questions and those questions were 90% “how do i turn it off?” and “when i turn it off, is it really off or is it spying on me?”

Seeing many posts about how ICE isn't trained. That's not really the problem. The problem is what they were sent to do, not whether they're qualified to do it.

Just as I think I'm solving my problems, another roadblock pops up to get in the way 😔

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

these pieces of shit stole my life’s work for their robots and want to MAYBE give me 3000 retroactive dollars for their theft. get absolutely fucked

Oop forgot to charge my phone before leaving the house 😅 fingers crossed I've figured out where I'm going in Manhattan at this point...

Heads up there’s an ICE checkpoint in Harlem right now apparently

Look at her funky cape!!!

We Have at least 70? years of science fiction exploring this proposition and all reaching the same conclusions as Josie. Which I only bring up because everyone involved in this AI thing is a science fiction fan, but not one who understands what they read.

There is a reason that my hobbies have increasingly shifted to social activities like dnd and kink

The way Bark has entered my vocabulary as a default response to things is a slight problem when I'm talking to non kinky people 😅🐶

I've been back and forth on whether Hades 2 overcomplicated an extremely clean, streamlined game, but I definitively think the Vows and Testaments are unnecessarily complicated and would have been better if they were implemented like the pact of punishment was.

Asking “is the postal service profitable?” is a new thing If you visit a 1950s post office it looks like a Greek temple. They have statues of eagles. There’s a big mural of a flying woman holding a cornucopia. They didn’t whine “is the bronze bas-relief of Prosperity profitable?”

THIS IS AN ENGLISH OR COMMUNICATIONS DEGREE! JUST DO THOSE INSTEAD JESUS IN HEAVEN

I've heard so many stories from friends and acquaintances about stepping backwards in their career just to get work. The comment that sticks with me most though was from a friend who said that studios are making less after the strike bc they realized they could get by with less. 😔

Defeated Chronos 💀🔥

In a city of world-class artists and production crew hunting for the next gig, Andrew Cuomo made a TV ad the same way he wrote his housing policy: with AI. Then again, maybe a fake Cuomo is better than the real one?

This erm exists.…..

The doc giving me the PreP shot this morning: "Once they've completely dismantled trans healthcare and women's right, you bet you're [people taking PreP] next on the list" And I think a lot of queer cis men haven't sat with that yet

It's time for the cronch report with Binky

Don’t forget, tomorrow begins Noctober. Take up the Nocturnal Arms and slay some Titans!
