the 90s were a horrifying time, you couldn’t trust anyone. Somebody would tell you something and you’d listen to them and then the person would yell “NOT!” in your face and everyone would laugh. They would laugh!

Was completely unaware of this until now, but SoundAlerts now offer AI TTS as a Premium feature. I don't think I was using their service anymore anyway, but I'm loudly adding this to the list of slop services I shall be avoiding. 💖

It’s not hyperbole that part of what kept the queer liberation movement going in the Reagan era was the partying part of the “bury your friends in the morning, protest in the afternoon, and dance at night” schedule. Without joy there is no air left to fight

i've reached the level of Uma where every time i need RNG to go my way i've started offering a prayer to Eclipse before tapping

drunk ber go eep goo eep bskey

there's this japanese youtuber who always cooks really good looking food and then follows it up with a chuhai or highball and thumbs up the camera, who i've been watching a lot but i'm too dumb to remember his name so I always call him by the name that Rain did years ago: "cooking himbo"

I find it linguesiticaly fascinati8ng that the use of the prefex "-burger" (eg salmon burger) would imply that one could theoretically make a burger out of ham, but that one would be unable to properly name it

re: to my last two posts: recommend me your favorite metal band and i'll check them out in the orning

ber is whiskey and feels like staying up for another hour, ama?

oops, i just went down a 3 hour rabbit hole (and so can you) mapofmetal.com

I still think about: "What's with all the fruit?" "Its June"

Is Rob zombie's Dragula from the music video for the song Dragula an itasha? Discuss

I want a halberd.... Or another sword.... Or a half dozen decorative knives.....

bringing it back for pride month I guess

I keep saying the same thing!! Easy DOES NOT mean accessible. Even disabled people can enjoy challenging media. It feels infantilizing to believe otherwise.

That's probably about as political as I'm going to get on this account with my own worlds tbh but like, I'm fuming about this being allowed to happen

Huh, that's over $2.5k for every person, adult or child, in the US, interesting Repost if roughly $2.5k per person is life-changing money for you or your household, I'm having a thought in Minecraft

It's bizarre how repeatedly people keep hijacking the conversation about Accessibility away from things like closed captioning, colorblindness support, alt-text for screen-readers, etc, to "Games should be easier to play, books should be easier to read, and shows should be simple to understand"

"Did you see the game last night?" is like the highest-percentage shot of a positive interaction with a stranger you're in proximity of in history.

Sports is a communal shared interest of humanity that transcends borders and has existed for millenia in countless forms, but yeah. Sportsball am I right

Giving people the ability to go back and alter what they've already committed to the timeline would fundamentally break the site on a conceptual level

There already is an edit feature. Copy your text, delete the post, and do it over

Whenever bluesky announces a new feature, there's a bunch of people who instantly chime in saying they want an edit button, which is the worst idea imaginable

love to read news about pokemon go! i wonder if there's any MORE news about pokemon go i can read today!!

this might be the best headline i’ve ever read

I just got the most intimidating message a GM who's making her own homebrew setting can get.....

Its funny, just the other day I was explaining to my coworker that before I dropped out I was a games design major, and he goes "you ever think of finishing your degree?" And like... Maybe if money wasn't an object?

1/3 of the game industry has lost their job in the last two years. Ubisoft closed two more studios today. Everyone is out of work. To that end I'm starting a new bundle to benefit a layoffs hardship fund. Game devs: please consider submitting your PAID games to the bundle, which will launch in July.

if you're anti-transition-care for kids you're pro-child-abuse. there's no middle ground here. almost every single trans person's biggest regret is "I didn't get to transition earlier," myself included.

Believe trans youth.

That moment when a channel that you used to watch regularly starts using Al thumbnails.

80% of AI discourse is [trying on the one ring] oh actually people might not have understood that this allows you to be really powerful?

People love historical what if scenarios. What if JFK was never assassinated? What if the Nazis won in WW2? A scenario I never see discussed is what if the aids crisis didnt decimate the gay men of America in the 80s-90s? Its easy to forget 1 in 15 gay boomer men died. An estimated 300,000 deaths-

"The funniest possible outcome of the AI mandate era is about to be HR departments discovering that 'sincerely held religious belief' under Title VII has a much lower bar than they assumed, and Pope Leo handed every Catholic employee a written excuse" www.businessinsider.com/worker-got-r...

I’m glad to see that so many other writers have been running into this exact problem, at least

Hey you! Person who smarter than a pubby! Is there a way for me to set up a method of capturing a Fugi permanently / That doesn't need resetup for each stream if I am using Discord on my Gaming PC and streaming from a 2nd pc? Its driving me INSANE and the method of "VdoNinja + HTML" STINMKY

Y'all. Please remember the artists that drew these things when sending around memes. I feel for these artists who NEVER get credited for these (and some, nowadays, are even being accused of being AI!) Here's a few common ones I see (feel free to add others, I want this to be a living thread): 🧵

Very funny from /r/balatro

I got reminded that Dagothwave exists today so I'm subjecting you all to it youtu.be/iR-K2rUP86M?...

As a creator this is genuinely one of the nicest possible things to hear 💖 If you like what someone is doing please tell them so, it can make their whole night

I don't know what everyone's complaining about. Just go to settings > features > worms, then change the "worms pouring out of my phone" toggle from "yes" to "maybe later"

This is still an all timer from her tbh

over the last year two very important things have happened: 1) I've started collecting a home bar 2) I've adopted a mint plant thus, I've decided to learn to make the perfect mojito

The same people who are worried that young people are sometimes trans is also worried they're not having enough heterosexual intercourse

people who don't want conflict or drama in their romance reads are WEAK 😤 what's the point of a narrative if there's nothing but unrealistic communication and security

it is in absolutely everybody’s best interests to develop some hobbies aside from Phone
