Yesterday kiddo obtained 3 vintage clown decorations, one a music box. 6am...he's playing the music box. I realize I brought this on myself but I had no idea the clown horrors would turn on me in this way...

nothing like waiting a long time for a response to a story sub nudge the publisher when its past the usual response date and then over a month later being told my story "didn't make the cut" i know its part of the process but that doesn't mean i enjoy this part of writing...

Forgive me for being a day late with these

Tolerance is also a two way street. It's part of the social contract. Violating the social contract means you're no longer protected by it.

Last night I had some random 70 year old woman on here telling me my SAD was largely due to 'my attitude', and when I replied that I know she meant well but please don't say things like that to strangers, she continued to double down. I know it's preaching to the choir for most people who'll see 1/

Looking to get a little #Sigil work done over the weekend. Been experimenting with #GlitchArt again via a couple different programs, finally got something that I find aesthetically pleasing. No #Spell to go along with this one, it's completely inert, but I thought I would share my progress.

Divination with Mercury-Hermes last night MH: -lowers glasses and reveals eyes that look like The Matrix screen- really? me:...please? MH: shit about to get bad. Keep your head down and your eyes on the work in your own hands. -cracks knuckles- I got you.

A little solace for the Anti AI crowd. The greatest weakness of AI is its inability to say “I don’t know”. Our ability to admit what we don’t know , will always govern humans an advantage.

O rly?

Her name is June bug and her mama is coming to get her this evening This story has a happy ending Not dumped but lost and now found!

The chair that has been loved (and worn ragged) by every dog we have fostered had a new occupant. I dunno what it is about the chair, the squeaky wood, the almost-broken seat...it gets a lot of love tho

Virgo is having a good time. We still need to cover a few more things for her but day 2 since finding her on the road is going well

I still don't know anything about Audra Winter but when I see stuff like this, which is apparently "I want investors to spend $70,000 so I can invent the light novel, a thing that already exists" I'm just a bit in awe. Imagine what any of us non-grifting indie authors could do with $70k.

Fostering another dog that was dumped on the roads near our house If you can help us pay for stuff for her that would be great

Saw Ben Wheatley's new film Bulk last night, made in secret, using obsolete S-VHS cameras, iPhones & VFX made from Airfix kits ordered off the internet. The end credits, hand-drawn by Wheatley, offer instructions on how to do the same at home if you want to. This is the anti-AI art we need.

generated images, writing, music, etc isn't actual Intelligence. its just a program. Its not sentient. It doesn't feel. Its not a person. It cannot truly CREATE Its a plagiarism machine that is destroying the environment It and all those who support it can get fucked

Intrigue & politics are overwhelming for many GMs + hard to engage with for many players, even when the idea itself is appealing. So let's talk about both TTRPG mechanics and psychological tools you can use to more easily bring the intrigue! thoughtpunks.com/mas... #TTRPG #Blog

I'm just going to assume that Tom Hanks is trending because people are finally discovering the Satanic Panic-era, pseudo-Dungeons & Dragons propaganda film he was in, MAZES AND MONSTERS, where he plays a tabletop gamer seduced by darkness.

If you believe that sacrificing the rights, the dignity, the happiness, the lives of vulnerable groups to fascists will somehow satiate the fascists' brutal appetites, you are very wrong. You are only joining the fascists, becoming them, strengthening their power, rationalizing their many cruelties.

My loves, we will literally never knowingly/willingly make use of gen ai in our writing, graphics, or any aspect of our business. If you spot nonsense in our product descriptions: that is 100% my own personal human nonsense. If a pic doesn’t look quite right: I just don’t have a great design eye. 😂

The precedent has been set that companies can steal whatever copyrighted material they want and then pay a fraction of what it’s worth to continue using it forever, it seems.

NEW YORK (AP) — Anthropic agrees to pay authors $3,000 per book in landmark settlement over pirated chatbot training material.

Not joking. Let’s go. If you can get the authors paid, drop me a line.
