These are also the same basic rules taught in any entry level hunter safety course, ffs. It's not unique, or advanced, or complex. I've taught these rules to seven year olds. Every competent gun owner knows them.

For any of my gamer pals who think that all this Epstein nonsense has nothing to do with your life...

I've told this story on ContrabandCamp but it's worth sharing for BHM because it's one of the greatest stories ever. A thread.

Commenting “ewwwww” on everyone’s ai generated posts because fucking gross

If anyone knows an expert who could advise me on the proper use of intermittent fasting for the purpose of improving the experience of cancer chemotherapy, please hook me up! Thank you!

Re: ICE and this current American regime -- No peace besides Théoden's peace.

Daily reminder that we live in a capitalism reality Which means that unless it has a dollar amount on it, society generally won't be built to treat it as important And that if anything appears to have importance, it's likely because power structures have imposed a dollar amount on it.

"Evil...has every advantage but one – it is inferior in imagination. Good can imagine the possibility of becoming evil – hence the refusal of Gandalf and Aragorn to use the Ring – but Evil, defiantly chosen, can no longer imagine anything but itself." -W.H. Auden

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Done. Pleaded with them not to take away one of my last refuges from the grift (and asked them not to do an IPO while I was at it). #MakeThingsBetter

My goal is to be the profile you still check when you can't deal with the rest of social media.

If you're taking to the streets to protest, know your rights.

What are people using to read pdfs of RPG books? I don’t like reading them on my computer, but my ebook reader (an e-ink style one) doesn’t do well with graphic-heavy layouts. I’d ideally like with a large enough screen so that I can read pages as-is without having to scroll/zoom. Thanks!

My favorite phenomenon recently is historical friends/acquaintances with completely different vibes in name. Stuff like: "The tragedy of one's origins does not justify ensuing tyranny on behalf of the state." -- Aleksei Proventi Thibideault in a letter to Sam Poole.

US Gov't in the back seat: "Can we kidnap a violent, fascist despot?" Me, driving: "NO! We have a violent, fascist despot at home!"

So… these "questions of accuracy" were always going to happen once the Washington Post chose to make "Personalized AI Podcast" bullshit, bc statistically generative sycophantic bullshit engines are not, & frankly cannot be about "accuracy." You know that, right NPR? Please say you know that by now…

"Alfonsi said the last-minute change was, in her view, a political decision, rather than an editorial call...'We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state'" www.wsj.com/business/med...

I just want to generally thank everyone in tech (and in business generally) who has NOT been overcome by "genAI and fascism are the inevitable future, join in to save yourself" cowardice and is instead standing up courageously for the value of human creativity, critical thinking, and discernment.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a successful Muppet film is built on the foundation of an actor refusing to accept the fact that their co-stars are performing alongside them using puppetry.

There's a good chance I need 4 new tires, an oil change, and something is up with my electrical system. My washer and dryer need replacing, but lucky for us, aren't covered in our lease. And we haven't had 3 square meals in weeks. So *anything* helps. Please.

It's been quite something to see one of the world's leading climate scientists, James Hansen, being vilified the past years for presenting data showing the rapid acceleration of global and regional warming, associated with continued greenhouse gas emissions and rapid reduction of air pollution.

You know what, I'm just gonna re-up this post

The crime of genocide didn't exist until after WW2. It was something we decided was real, needed to be identified and punished. Even if we've been spectacularly bad at putting it in practise, we conceptualised it. I think it's about time for a CEO crime of murder-by-Economy.

Not only have I been using this One Neat Financial Trick™️ near the winter holidays, I've actually been doing it year round for over a decade and it is a source of immense societally-imposed guilt on everyone like me so thanks again, oppressive capitalism.
