Presumably the “day” ends when the sun sets in Jerusalem at around 15:34 UTC (12:34 pm eastern time in the US) If the rapture has happened by then I guess we’ll have to solve our own problems.

also an excellent further way to police and blame pregnant women!

My most Gen X complaint is that this question ignores our existence.

I like the sentiment and I tried when I waded into Facebook a few days ago. Was met with “those quotes are leftest lies” and “Kirk was right, empathy is a ‘New Age’ concept” I think we’re to the point they wear their racism with a badge of honor.

Disney learned nothing from Andor.

The government can’t regulate speech so they’ll fire up witch-hunts to ensure private companies regulate speech.

Absolutely insane. I’m sure this will improve Texas education! (Of course the point is to destroy public education)

You are not Making a Difference there. You are not Fighting the Good Fight. You are not even Maintaining a Community you couldn't easily replicate elsewhere. You are propping up a right-wing site and, worse, you are being warped by your constant exposure to it and you don't even realize it. Leave.

Would you strap on an Oculus and wander around an LLM world generated by your dead partner? #WIPSnips

Opens socials. Notices date. Closes socials

Seem to recall when the Biden admin was (misleadingly) accused of putting pressure on social media companies to change their editorial policies (most of which were rejected) we were told by a large segment of the population (and a few judges) that it was the worst violation of the 1st Amendment ever

I’ve long postulated this is the thing that will kill LLMs. The hype is fueled by VC money. It’s not sustainable.

Now Queen is stuck in my head. (not that it's a bad thing ...) Turing receives his chip, launching the revolution. #WIPSnips

You checked the news: -10 HP

The robot revolution will be tiny. #WIPSnips

This continues to be the worst timeline.

Ah that beautiful first Sunday of the NFL. Where I jump on my old football forum and start wishing everyone I haven't seen in 6 months "Happy Football" A little sliver of America that's still left.

An imaginary line, separating the haves from the have-nots. #WIPSnips

Pietà Michelangelo, 1498-1499

Part of the inciting incident ... one could call it, the inciting event :) #WIPSnips

It's just a sports ban. It's just a bathroom ban. It's just a healthcare for kids ban. It's just a military service ban. It's just a federal jobs ban. It's just a university housing ban. It's just a passport & visa ban. It's just one Constitutional right. It's just your status as free citizens.

Passion II: Jesus is back, and he’s pissed

Adoniram leaves home to find himself. Ends up finding much more. #WIPSnips

Purity culture means not even looking at a potential sexual partner, lest you fall to the sin of lust. Eve, as a teen, discovers she's in deep trouble. (TW: mention of pregnancy and morning sickness) #WIPSnips

In the rush to adopt hot new tech, security is often forgotten. AI is no exception

A religion of purity verse the need to be desired. (I promise I'm writing sci-fi, not Victorian romance!) #WIPSnips

People obsessed with this country's "heritage" are violently opposed to ever actually addressing its real heritage, so all they're left with are consumerism and symbols chosen for their plausible deniability. Imagine claiming the Cracker Barrel logo as your birthright.

Sliding in under the wire (it's still Aug 31 where I'm at). Adoniram is struggling with his faith and the fact his wife was raised from the dead. Iris is having none of it.

Do you like creepy dream sequences? Of course, you like creepy dream sequences! #WIPSnips

*After Biden wasn't seen for ten minutes* The media: Does Biden suffer from ghonesyphilherperaidsdementiacancerparkinsonspoliogherigs syndrome? *After Trump vanishes from the public view for days randomly* The media: Is Trump Americas healthiest golfer?

"The visible health problems of the oldest president in American history barely registered in mainstream coverage," writes @passantino.bsky.social for Status_. But @nytimes.com 🐔, @wsj.com 🐔🐔 & other major outlets published dozens of stories about Biden's physical fitness while he was in office.

I don’t know if Trump is dying. But I do know that people telling themselves Vance would be better because he’s not as “popular” are ignoring the fact that these fascist systems are designed to crush democracy and popularity doesn’t figure into it. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/if-trump-d...

If you’re at #DragonCon, I’m moderating a panel at 5:30pm today (Saturday) on Working with Editors & Professional Readers. It’s going to be a great discussion with Chris A. Jackson, AJ Hartley, Mary Robinette Kowal, Gini Koch, and Steve Saffel. Come hear these excellent panelists! #WriteSky

Hey, apropos of everything, quick reminder: trans people aren’t the enemy.

I saw this and posted a monster.

If you see this post a monster

Fealty to the emperor

Sadly, it seems Swear Trek isn’t on tenor

Somewhere in Dallas is a kid who owned a Luka jersey and a Micah jersey and this year has been total hell for him

Welp ... I'm done as a Cowboy's fan. #NFL #Cowboys

I'm not going to link to that ridiculous Guardian story about whether AIs can suffer, and I'll save you the trouble of clicking the most miserable piece of clickbait the Graun's come out with in a while: the answer is "No." Obviously "No." Painfully apparent to the meanest intellect "No." Just "No."

w/o downloading anything new, where are you mentally?

The final installment in my journey to see all 8 remaining Big Boy locomotives. This one features #4004 and #4014 in Cheyenne, WY. Bonus view of UP #844 I was lucky enough to visit the UP Steam shops and see all sorts of amazing things. www.cfreak.dev/wrapping-up-... #writing #trains

1. Because it's George's fucking universe, that's why 2. Because Brandon is making money hand over fist in his own fucking universe, why would he stop doing that for something he won't own and control 3. Unwarranted entitlement on the part of "fans" does not equal obligation on the part of artists
