You’ll Be OK

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

Here’s my Spotify Wrapped 🎵✨

First HORSES reviews are in!

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

I know this art was picked cuz its GTA but boy howdy does it look like its suggesting a solution

Using AI art in the most profitable video game in the world, one where millions of artists would kill to have their art in the game and would even do it for free for that level of exposure, is so many levels of messed up. Glad I've never played this game.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

PT Pictomancer done. Really nice running on a job I'm comfortable on after all these other ones. Naturally my highest score (by a lot) happens on my alt.

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

As a black coffee drinker, it's not that a similar scenario has never happened. I've gone up to a coffee counter and been told their new/seasonal beverages and pastries. But what's going on there is basic upselling by the merchant, which can happen anywhere. So why latch onto this?

DRG pt done

That begs the question: why has everyone lost their damn minds? And the answer I think is Phone x COVID x Neoliberalism = everyone is insane.

Look at this beautiful piece! Made by the ever lovely @cafurccino.bsky.social Thank you so much again!!! #hrothgar

""I'd heard of furries, but to be honest, I didn't think they were real. Then one filed to run against me for Congress," stated the email. "Samuel Smeltzer, whose furry name is Elyon Badger, announced he's running against me, in costume, on a far left progressive platform.""

I'm literally on my knees begging you to read or watch anything made by queer people for queer people rather than scraping the bottom of the barrel for scraps in things that are overwhelmingly heterosexual. IT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER

I died so many times to the ceiling fan in Disco Elysium for this very reason. It's great.

What a great headline

When you're presented with a problem and someone immediately suggests to ask AI.

the time has come

This. Related, important thread(s) from Pookieblinky. The TL;DR of which is there is no minimum safe amount of exposure to misinformation. Once it gets into your head, you can't get it out. It lies dormant in your brain in the form of "I read it somewhere." It's absolutely insidious.

is it possible to lose a PT solo run to a mimic

I keep reposting my resources but the holidays have given me so much time to make adjustments to my PT guide. I'm really hoping it helps out aspiring DD soloists. I'll probably make some vods to go along with it for silly nonsense like tier lists for jobs, bosses, and so on. bluehrothgar.carrd.co

reminder that right wingers are never worth your time of day and are bad faith actors who run thrive on inciting anger in others

Next week the House E&C Committee is looking to run something of a shock and awe campaign, debating at least 19 bills that they say are related to "protecting kids online." Most of which are actually about censorship and control. Don't buy the framing. It's always the same damn thing.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Community has always been important to me, and even though this year has seen ours fracture, I'm still here for you all. I still want to help organize what I can and make whatever I can accessible to folks.

"Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea" -- @davelevitan.bsky.social

People who "create" AI slop should be forced to consume only AI slop and not be allowed to watch, read or listen to anything made by a human. Let them wallow in the cesspit of their creation.
