good example of the phenomenon where so many phrases that are thought of as politically correct woke words enforced on people by the Trans Mafia ("vulva-owners", "identifies as") actually come from cis people desperate to invalidate us while sounding validating

avatar is a dogshit racist series and it's embarrassing that people like it so god damn these two parts of the review are absolutely scathing

It's funny how if *you* tried selling your own stuff to yourself to get rich, people would laugh their asses off at you for being so foolish. But when a billionaire does the exact same thing, somehow he actually does get richer.

We need to do something about this shit. Props to @bennjordan.bsky.social for pressing this issue so much. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU1-...

Freaking out a bit because we're about to lose bf's unemployment benefits and we'll have to reapply for SNAP if it ever exists again.. I can't wait for the holidays to be over so businesses will start hiring again. Shit has been bleak, yo. Boosting this because I don't know what else to do. 🖤

Twilight Princess is now 100% decompiled!!

i was watching this award show and they called your name in this category

Your power bill has tripled and you can't afford new PC parts just to create this.

OREGON: Equal Rights for All is a ballot measure to affirm the right to abortion, contraception & IVF, trans health care, and same-gender marriage in the OR Constitution. Help make sure it gets enough signatures to qualify for the Nov 26 ballot! Sign it: www.equalrightsoregon.com/sign-the-pet...

Another one off the list! @dawnfire.bsky.social has a cute character, so I felt compelled to pixel her. I had fun drawing Ely! (Don't mind Eirii, she's magnetized to cute girls. She just wants to be friends.) #pixelart #art

a free alternative to vibecoding is to just imagine writing the software in your head, and then what the output would be

absolute genius maneuver from bari weiss spiking this story now an exponentially higher amount of people will care about this and watch it anyways

That's right

With very few exceptions: If you think someone who made the stories you love is rich, you are incorrect.

BREAKING: Instacart is ending all price testing on its platform in the wake of this report.

This is a wild hack. a16z gave a million dollars to startup called Doublespeed. They use a phone farm to flood social media with AI generated influencers and ads. A hacker remotely broke into the phone farm, unmasking the AI influencers/fake accounts, gave us the data www.404media.co/hack-reveals...

A reminder that CBS is owned by Paramount. Paramount’s CEO is David Ellison. David’s father Larry Ellison is the third-richest person on Earth and a major Trump donor.

I just want to enjoy cool shit without later learning it was made with business practices I consider unethical. URGH. Good on the IGAs for retracting its wins.

So, I'd left for my Xmas holiday break by the time this stuff was starting to surface, but RE Expedition 33 being in my GOTY video, I was under the impression it had not used Gen AI in its development, based on part on statements made to the Indie Game Awards (which I helped curate with this year).

It's time for some Simply Sterling Game of the Year Awards! It's a new video looking back at 2025 and picking my favorite games from the lot. Will Clair Obscur make it despite AI controversy? Let's find out! Watch here: youtu.be/ELgU4iCkETo

See you all next year!

By the way, if you were fans of The Escapist back in the day, go give the folks at @secondwindgroup.com a follow, that's where all the talent has moved onto, and are doing better than anything the zombie Escapist is putting out.

GenAI slop is going to be like the thin layer of microplastics in the geological record. "Yeah, there were some fucking stupid decisions made here. They basically spent years poisoning their entire environment, and themselves."

do NOT download this. do not share it, do not use it, do not seed it and whatever you do do not listen to it. spotify's music quality is fucking ass

I spent time in a hospice in Roscommon and it was very sad but also moving and strangely life affirming. www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...

“Original Prompt Do Not Steal.”

you smiled so warmly to me as you slipped me the play party's card. it is with my deepest regrets that i dare not attend the function

The about mainstream mlm/BL/yaoi media is that the discourse really doesn't want you to think about how weird it is that an outgroup dominates media about queer male romance/sexuality. The only rebuttals to this are "it's inherently misogynistic to criticize women" and "gay men aren't people"

The fact that resist circles are already trial ballooning differing approaches to telling people to accept universal rights being rolled back means they do not plan on fighting for human rights but in fact plan to curtail them.

Hey look: it's a Good Empañada

No one at the rap battle will wait for me to type my prompts

they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

Transition is a form of ultimate total bodily autonomy and these are people who get off on total subjugation, on total power over someone else's body. Opposing transness is a currently socially acceptable way to support pedophilia and rape

i feel like one thing that we should be making abundantly clear from now on is that the majority of anti-trans consent manufacturers are goddamn pedophiles. are you going to believe what a bunch of pedophiles say about us? what does that say about you?

CENSORSHIP ONLY HAPPENS UNDER COMMUNISM. IT HAS NEVER HAPPENED UNDER CAPITALISM. EVERYTHING IS NORMAL. ENJOY CHRISTMAS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

@makeship.bsky.social still hasn't added bluesky

Anybody got a torrent. Apparently the only way to get journalism now is to pirate it

A reminder that The Escapist that people remembered does not exist anymore. Almost all the core staff packed up and left. Most reformed as Second Wind, which is doing decent work. The Escapist now exists to promote online gambling and act as a mouthpiece for unhinged venture capitalists. Let it die

Nightsky Reminders - get something to eat - drink a glass of water - take your meds - reply to the friends you were meaning to but forgot to

is your video game really "indie" if you use LLM AI that is the product of the theft of copyrighted material from countless millions of artists and writers and other creatives? no, your game is not independent, but highly dependent on said theft.
