Open book……….

Gonna rule when this inevitably goes overbudget and gets delayed and we just end up with a huge pile of rubble next to the white house for a decade

the American century of humiliation is in full swing

I urge everyone to seek out RAKESFALL and every other book on the shortlist. You will find each of them worth your time, and each of them a significant, beautiful part of this accursed century's literature. Whatever happens, great art still exists, against all odds, and that is to be celebrated.

Congratulations to @vajra.me for winning the 2025 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for his ferociously visionary RAKESFALL! & congratulations to all the finalists; I can confirm that this was an enormously challenging decision to make--because each novel in the shortlist was worthy of winning in its own way.

So I realize I’ve reposted this all day, but I cannot understate the scale of this story. If Anthropic is spending this much on Google Cloud - or even 25% - the costs of running their business are never coming down. It’s a huge scoop, and the first real discussion of the true costs of AI anywhere.

2010s were crazy in hindsight because what do you mean they were greenlighting shit like 'Grant Morrison's Mahabharata' and 'Warren Ellis' Ramayana'. Shit sounds fake as hell if you say it to anyone now.

Marge Simpson (now canonically born in 1995 but with a voice like wind through a mausoleum): oh wow, IShowSpeed, the American YouTuber and online streamer

hey #portfolioday , I'm available for work from November onwards, but feel free to reach out now! www.sajanrai.co.uk/portfolio

You can roleplay in anything, you can roleplay in fucking Monopoly if you want, and if you see that and go "well that sounds dumb" then congrats, you know what it's like to be told that a game can have 200 pages about combat and two paragraphs for Diplomacy checks and not "be about violence" somehow

"The roleplaying is the stuff the game DOESN'T need rules for, idiot" is such a ridiculously illiterate stance (in multiple senses) to hold in 2025, an era in which we have a veritable cornucopia of designer TRPGs to showcase that elfgames can be more than a combat engine draped in vibes

Browsing the skyrim nexus mods page and castigating modders for their incredibly boring and basic tastes. Oh wow, a big breasted woman wearing one of 4 micro-bikini designs, daring today aren't we

society would be massively improved if ring doorbells were banned completely actually

This person is paying OpenAI two hundred dollars a month to have a chatbot gaslight them about making an excel spreadsheet

Now that's what I like to see.

Kids in hyperrealistic modern triple-A video games continues to be the funniest hurdle.

Palestinian families like Ahmed's have been violently displaced & starved for 2 yrs of Israel's genocidal famine & destruction of Gaza. Please help by sharing & donating to cover the costs of food, healthcare, & shelter, they've been left with nothing:

"Police recovered an emerald crown on the ground outside" Glad to know that reality is governed by the Radiant AI system.

Shooting little children with death robots may be business as usual for Israel, but it can't be for anyone else. Please help Amal afford healthcare & food to save her son's life:

Reminder that the US under both R and D administrations sent billions of dollars in weapons to Saudi Arabia, including illegal cluster munitions, to kill Yemeni kids. And the US, under both R and D administrations, is still sending billions of dollars in weapons for the UAE to do genocide in Sudan

fellowship reviews already starting to turn negative specifically because of how toxic the community is lmao. it’s been three days. folks, you can take mythic+ out of wow,

The war didn’t stop. But your donations did.❤️‍🩹 My children are still hungry. Our nights are still filled with fear, not sleep. I lost my home. Please don’t let me lose hope too. This isn’t about politics. It’s about staying alive. Don’t scroll past our pain. Share. Speak. Act.🫂 gofund.me/edd687b8

every trans woman dj i know has had their bookings drastically drop off over the past year/18 months and yet there always seems to be thousands of dollars available to book (and pay for artist visas for) former idf soldiers who happen to be gay

Heard about the Louvre jewel heist and my first thought was “finally, some good old fashioned normal crime”

Every ai video sucks because they’re never more than their prompts, you’re like ‘yeah that’s a video of a dinosaur eating chips whilst skateboarding,” but like that’s it - you could just post your prompt and it’d be the same. But every real piece of film contains MORE than just its script

Started playing through the recent TRON games with my partner and is fascinating and sad to see that while the games are interested in building upon and extrapolating everything that came before it, The film side decided to do a soft reboot of the series to turn it into worse Blade Runner

why does it take the alignment of heaven and earth, perfoming the ancient rites on a lonely mountain at night, and a sacrifice to gods most unholy and profane to get marvel to release a spider-man comic that doesnt suck

Reading The Dispossessed and I'm enjoying it a lot. You could easily make a lucasarts-esque adventure game of it, Shevek already comes with the born-yesterday passive cluelessness of a video game protagonist

wtf is up with the replies, the internet is fucking dead yall

Friend, playing Resident Evil: So Green Weed restores your health, Blue Weed cures Poison, while Red Weed enhances the effects of any weed yo- Me: You mean to tell me they have a Geoff Johns Spectrum of Weeds in this shit?

Folks, Israel is not letting aid in which means Palestinians continue to have to buy food on the black market from Israel sponsored gangs. If you can donate a little money to the fundraisers we're posting, you can keep someone alive. Palestinians wouldn't beg if they didn't have to.

How many times must I beg just to be heard? I lost 4,100 friends when my account was taken. I miss my community deeply. Should I keep rebuilding my life every 3 days? I just want my home back. My voice matters. Please keep emailing — I won’t stop fighting for it 💔 Even silence won’t break me.

They should make a TTRPG where it's like, "Take part in a revolution against the tyranny" and the entire gameplay loop is logistics, managing logistics, arguing about logistics, more logistics, you never even touch a gun

SO much of the cultural and artistic nostalgia that society chases was just art made when people got paid to do it. Lavish movie posters made by human artists, video games made by people without sixteen different investment companies breathing down their neck, movies made by studios taking a chance.

Western communists continue to be a joke peddling their sid meier-ass understanding of historical development. History is not a series of tech trees trending upwards, and the fact that y'all believe it is showcases your attachment to the west as a concept

I see a lot of people praising this as an Epic Owning of the Conservatives but between the multiple scandals this company's had regarding the treatment of its Black and PoC employees & the IP itself being about civilizing the frontier, I don't think this is the Representation Win people think it is
