John Dee would've loved the modern cell phone.

woke up from a dream about people getting mad at Pope for pontificating against Miracle Whip. Not a miracle, tastes bad, etc. Okay back to sleep

Pope Bob's dropping tweets ex cathedra

"Democrats can pull victory from the jaws of defeat by coalescing around Porter."

It's what I'd expect would happen to a person who'd got to talk to the moon. This is probably the most important data they brought back on their mission.

I think hate is just naturally what grows where one can't cultivate love.

The fact that naval warfare exists will not diminish my love of the ocean. Nor will the words "space force" diminish my love for the stars. I have fought capitalism here on earth, and I will fight it on the moon if I have to, but by god I will not stop reaching for the stars.

If you're a fleeing #Swalwell supporter in CA I'd read about Katie Porter.

AI is the same thing as a black hole. Must be why they call it the singularity. You are consumed, and radiated back out through virtual representations of your constituent elements in a way that makes it impossible to know who you were to begin with.

I remember during this part of the mission Victor Glover said something like "Humans did not evolve with the tools to see what we are seeing now." During this period of the sun being eclipsed by the moon, they saw impact flashes on the moon in the dim light from earth.

There is love in space. Carroll Crater #ArtemisII

Listening to the Artemis II comms already has me tearing up and they haven't even started flyby observations. So much love and gratitude we sent up there. They definitely picked the right people.

Hi Ben, since you post about me every day and email me unsolicited even after I told you to stop, lets play a game. Every time you tweet about me, I donate $10 to a trans org. Let's call it the Benjamin Ryan youth transition fund. southernequality.app.neoncrm.com/nx/portal/fo...

TNG/TOS

from TED THE JUDGE a visual novel i'm working on, based on the wasteland I was going to post a picture of myself but I think this is how I'd rather be seen today.

one of the hits from my short webcomic 'Derbino: A Tale of Man' www.derbino.com

i won't abide the idea of intellectual property art only as a commodity or a career is a mistake if you take that route you will eat that internal inconsistency not that I won't give money to artists I love but love is under my will only

You know the reeds rustle when the wind blows but believe your bough bends itself.

Abdomen enters the room in her stars and stripes leotard, producing in her hand a silver platter of colored vials. Each is labeled with a full color dot-matrix printout of the face of a great NASCAR driver from the golden age - the Earnhardt years - affixed to each vial with globs of GlueStick™.

Never was the proverbial bucket kicked as stylishly as it was today.

Just saw the new #DLSS5 thing. I'm more impressed by their audacity to show something like this than I am by their engineering feats.

Tim Heidecker is doing his impression of the turning point halftime show this year right now on the #Oscar Special and I'm fucking dying.

I get a stack of paper. I do the matrix multiplication myself, writing it out. I get tokens back and convert them to words. What's conscious here? The paper? The numbers? The pen?

And all the books our fathers wrote Are in the middle of the road Little by little, we implode History brittle, brown and broke We can't remember what was spoke So we stare in wonder at the smoke What it begets is born alone We know not now what we have known

People doing git clone openclaw and fancying themselves Dr. Frankenstein - It has no temporal sense, it's a text predictor. If the AI can't attach a word to lived experience, then there's no conciousness. Text != reality. It must look more alive if you don't live yourself.

Considering the latest news about OpenAI - now is a really good time to tell large data brokers to delete your info. If you're in California, you have even more power to do this right now.

I’m Eileen Laubacher, the retired Rear Admiral and Democrat running to unseat Boebert. Help me do it and kick her out of Washington for good! Chip in $25 today. secure.actblue.com/donate/lauba...

Kansas doesn't know who is trans or not. They're apparently just changing the gender marker of whoever comes in says they're trans, to the opposite of their gender. So you can do the math on how cis liberals could really live out their "never again" dreams, if they wanted to.

Food for thought today: Pirating media is more morally coherent than paying for streaming subs. It's also 100% cheaper, ad free, and often higher quality. You get to choose what you watch, and keep that library forever.

I'm pretty sure I'm connected to the moon.

I can't fully express my joy in finding out that Linux finally supports all my weird and niche requirements. It feels similar to landing a great job and getting out of a decades long toxic family situation.

So amazed by how many people buy into corporate slop and endless artless franchises that are also somehow against AI slop. I don't like it either, but I don't give a fuck if it takes the jobs of people making trash to degrade us, and your monthly tithings to them are making the future you hate.

Pamela Jo Bondi is protecting pedophiles. She is disgusting and needs to be investigated.

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

They forgot to consider Phlebas.

David Lynch was a real one.

Vivec made of his spear a more terrible thing, from a secret he had bitten off from the King of Rape. Vivec wept as he slew all those around him with his terrible new spear. He named it MUATRA, which is Milk Taker.

why is anyone excited about moltbook when reddit and twitter have already been 90% bots for years?

Sometimes I'll look up a news story, click a link, hit a paywall, and realize that I clicked on the New York Times. It's a nice thing. Really glad that paywall is there to prevent me from reading trash.

Gavin says, "if we tax them, the billionaires will leave California!" Good. They're not "job creators" or "innovators". They benefit society in no way, and avoid paying most of their taxes anyway. Make them pay their fair share or get those parasites out of my state.

Finally. Digital Egg. The Promise of Computer is fulfilled.

Imagine a politics where we stop asking who is likeliest to appeal to our ruling class opponents, and start asking who will deliver on the needs of the people.

Feeling very lucky that I got to experience all of these incredible works this year. - Death Stranding 2 - Expedition 33 - FFVII Rebirth - Blue Prince - Stalker 2 - Caves of Qud The world falls apart, so it's nice that Video Game was better than it's ever been this year.

They wouldn't want to get rid of the filibuster if their plan was to run free and fair elections going forward.

@johnmaus.bsky.social what an incredible show. My heart is full.

Midwestern power washing mmo - world of warsh it

one of my biggest quality of life increases was realizing that for people whose only interaction with me was to tell me all the things I could be doing differently, i could simply not spend time with them and they could do that by themselves without me involved at all.
