They should invent a magfest that's in Ontario/Quebec

Mayor Zohran Mandami’s crime reduction strategy notches early win.

Folks, she brought a whole plate of spaghetti to the broadcast center to do her headshot. She then houses that spaghetti. Mattia sips on an espresso during his. Truly the heroes we need during these times.

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

there comes a point where a bubble popping is terrifying but the only thing more terrifying is it *not* popping

"you will get savaged" No. You won't. You'll find a small community of people who enjoy your first attempts at art, and that community will grow as you get better. Be so for real. Yes, maybe one or two assholes will criticize you but most people are not so unkind.

Franklin the Turtle was created by Canadians Paulette Bourgeois (writer) and Brenda Clark (illustrator) in the 1980s. The books were written to teach children about self-respect, friendship, courage, honesty, empathy and overcoming fears.

you motherfuckers can't have franklin the turtle, fuck all the way off

In response to "who is saying this"--- Okay, so like. Everyone? Even progressives, allies, cis queer people, and yes, trans people treat trans women as simply men-in-drag and consider the inclusion of trans women in women's spaces to be a kind of wedge into gender-neutrality. It's pervasive!

as a pretty dedicated AI hater, this worries me greatly. we gotta be SUPER careful not to hurt real artists in the process of rejecting AI. i worry we could fall into this trap of seeing something flagged as AI (or just "vibing" it) and just rolling with that

baldur's gate 3 endgame! twitch.tv/jneen #jneenislive

in hindsight, this one was a little too birder-specific to make it into the New Yorker

so i thought i'd check in on my PR on a public repo on my phone today,

i regret to inform you all that i have a personal vendetta against party parrot

i was today years old when i learned that a dB isn't defined by 6dB = doubling. it's actually 20dB = 10x. but 10^(6 / 20) is very close to 2 so i guess it works out

rand() is highly intelligent, if you don't get good results from it you're just calling it wrong

the sentiment that “the tool needs to be used properly” only applies if the tool is truly a tool. there is no virtuous way to use a fundamentally compromised tool

every time i've put off learning something because i thought it would be really hard and then i finally buckled down and learned it, it...wasn't pixel art and 3d graphics programming are two examples that come to mind

Quick reminder that it took LESS THAN TWO YEARS to get to this point.

i'm seeing programmers both young and old tell me i'm somehow a standout impressive genius for... learning a programming language without using a chatbot. the skill atrophy is very real

please only use logical, rational arguments such as "drunk driving lets people get to work on time" and "I want Sam Altman's doom machine to fuck my wife for me"

stop using emotional arguments against AI, such as labour rights, the environment, and the rise of neofascism; i'm not capable of the emotional vulnerability required to learn skills that aren't firmly within my comfort zone! i'm also functionally illiterate

very unexpected but happy for this take from rob pike, holy heck

And by the way, training your monster on data produced in part by my own hands, without attribution or compensation. To the others: I apologize to the world at large for my inadvertent, naive if minor role in enabling this assault.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

i keep seeing takes like "the left has abandoned men because they don't believe men can be victims of domestic violence" and i just. do you mean the right? who thinks this???

Like the stuff everyone seems to leaving out in these conversations is "how safe is it to share that information about you", because questions about assuming from presentation are questions about whether you can talk about that stuff openly or whether you'd rather just pass! Why is this an argument!

book is absolutely lovely so far, but this little section stood out to me. "Drivers and pedestrians said they typically broke laws to save time. Cyclists, however, said they typically broke laws to stay safe." ridiculously true. at no point on my bike do i think about The Law. i think about safety

picked the right time of year to watch haibane renmei again. walking the long dark

why don't the discord mod tools have a "spoiler tag this image/message" option yet

Bless everyone who maintains the tools to download video files from proprietary players.

they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

I have again been asked if AI was used to make my game. For transparency, my minions used generative AI to make all the parts of the game that didn't benefit from a human touch, were too boring to make or not important enough to craft by hand. In other words, we didn't use any generative AI.

this is why i have said multiple time that streaming financially benefits artists as much as piracy does. because unless millions of people stream one song it won't even pay rent. meanwhile it takes a couple thousand bandcamp or itunes or qobuz song purchases to pay for rent. hundreds for an album

"all my apes, gone" bsky.app/profile/arif...

one of my fav shows in the whole medium

the real rationalist infohazard is learning how much money and influence these fucking losers have

We’ve created the self-regarding allegedly erudite child-molesting monsters from Vladimir Nabokov’s novel “Don’t Create The Self-Regarding Allegedly Erudite Child-Molesting Monster”

i can't wait til it's time to post "it's easy now to say that LLMs were a stupid idea, but in their defence it was easy at the beginning and in the middle too"

I don’t know how anyone can still talk about “the AI revolution” with a straight face. Reuters story about a railroad company that has sunk $300,000 into “developing AI products” and appears to have made…a chatbot that doesn’t work? archive.is/2025.12.17-0...

reminder:

It’s so refreshing to see someone take a fundamental, ethical stance and stick to it. And congrats to Blue Prince for indie of the year. Should’ve been yours all along by all sane indie definitions.

new scam going around where they hire you for a job but pay you less than the value your labor produced

today is my birthday and all really want is for you to check out my music, pls and thank you zantilla.bandcamp.com/music
