I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Solid thread here -- good perspective!

Seeing this bullshit becoming more frequent in public when I mostly encountered it in private since my youth has been more than a little horrifying.

I have *never* used ChatGPT. Not once. I’m not saying I’m better than you… oh fuck it, I’m better than you.

Gonna write some brief troll mitigation tips for you all because like any successful, happy woman on the internet, i’ve had ‘em Tips break down into two main areas: 1. Defensive tactics: how not to make it easy for them 2. Offensive tactics: fuck ‘em up 🧵:

This was a fun one you gotta check it out!

Bears repeating (even past midnight on a Saturday) If you need a safe place to relax where no one is going to question your right to exist or think that bigots like CK have any validity, you can always find a spot at my tables.

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

Hey 🤗 I'm looking for people who are interested in streaming/creating content of small #indiegame demos. We're searching for #twitch or #youtube #streamers who are really into a specific niche of games and like to try out new, weird things. Reposts are welcome!

Thinking about the phrase "political violence" and the number of people who've died on Rikers Island in just the last month.

if charlie kirk being shot is political violence, then so is every single Native or Black person who has ever been shot at or killed on this land

And you just know mfers out here lying their asses off to try and date anyone bold enough to say "no republicans" in the profile

That OC you are playing/writing/whatever has no existence, no agency, no nothing except what you yourself imagine for them. They did not take the reins from you or make their own surprising choice or decide to go a different direction. You did that. With your creative brain. They aren't real.

I try to live my life in a way that people would think of me if they needed a guest for a podcast episode titled "How to be a Safe Straight White Guy."

I can’t find the lie in this.

Nothing makes more sense than you being a socialist male, trust me. But let me reiterate, no individual enjoyment of LLMs justifies the current project of building ecologically disastrous data centers to fuel their continued speculation. There is no justifiable socialist defense of doing so.

It absolutely is not, and the kinds of psychological damage done to people primarily in the global south whose labor is required to maintain content moderation on streaming video and social media platforms should've been justification enough to shut the whole goddamned thing down.

Gonna post this again, because I'm gonna add to my tab in the coming weeks with my new intensive therapy I need.

Someone should code a bot that responds to every single Trump post with, "Okay, now roll a Deception check."

As far as the #ttrpg streaming/AP sphere is concerned, I'm very good at conducting stories that people enjoy playing. I don't have a ton of data at my fingertips to determine if I'm equally as good at conducting stories that people enjoy WATCHING.

Oh, I definitely enjoy putting analogs to real-life political issues into my games so that my players can find the catharsis of beating them with crowbars until they stop moving.

Everyone in DC knows that if you want to hide something, announce it on a Friday in August. Better yet, make it nearly impossible to track down. That's exactly what SCOTUS did last week. But the news is too staggering to hide for long: SCOTUS has decided it's time to destroy the Voting Rights Act.

Me, halfway thru writing a hot #ttrpg take:

(TW: pedophilia, abuse, violence) This is the text that was sent around and looking at the publicly presented doc, only one of these claims are even being pursued. There hasn't been s single proceeding where he could've been proven guilty. So this text spread around back in April is a flat out lie.

Hey, y'all. I'm really leaning hard into perfecting my writing and trying to find community based around novel/fiction writing. I'm not looking for RP (Despite loving doing so, but my dance card is full) Anyone know of any good sites, servers, or otherwise for writing?

Thinking of starting a Patreon where I will upload Royalty Free Art for TTRPG people to use in whatever project they wish; so long as they credit me. Would be cheaper than an AI art sub. And will do requests etc. Would people be interested in that? #TTRPG #TTRPGart #Commission #Patreon

I think because Disney is in it's reboot/live action era anyway AND we have a whole Marvel multiverse of possibilities they should give us an Avengers movie with Muppets.

My favorite part about all these publications writing about a "high-speed rail line" that will "go from LA to NYC in 72 hours" and be "operating in time for the World Cup" is that literally none of them stopped to look up the fact that Amtrak does this trip in less time right now

Hey friends! I'm helping a friend get set up on vgen and I'm totally lost as I'm only a consumer. Are there any good tutorials or guides? I think there's also some sort of code system?

And we're LIVE with our "Reylo with FEELING" fanfic reading as promised for our Immigration Equality fundrazer. See you there! twitch.tv/thenoirenigma

I don't know why everyone is so worried about deepfakes. I've been reading #XMen comics with Mystique doing fuck shit in them since the 90s; this isn't a new concept to me. 😜

They're back! Join the cast on a new episode of Noirvel Pull List on Tuesday, at 6pm PST/ 9pm EST, only on Althaven's YouTube and Twitch channels.
