A ContraPoints about the Saw series? For me? Everyone one say, Thank you Natalie.

This Is Your Stop, a Wretched & Alone solo game about public transit, is here! For the price of an all-day pass in my city, you can ride along and try to reach your stop in time. Ignore passengers. Be nice to the driver. You definitely didn't pass that tree twice. kobanya.itch.io/this-is-your...

Happy International Women's Day to the original International Woman

Happy International Women's Day. 🏴

international Womens day to the best undead mare!

All the wrong people have imposter syndrome.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

I've never used grammarly but if you have an account, I'd throw it in the trash and set it on fire because what the actual fuck

Flint Development, a company based out of Prairie Village, KS, has been selling warehouses in other states to ICE. Join the protest at their office this Monday, March 9th, from 3-4:30pm at 3515 W 75th St. NO CONCENTRATION WAREHOUSES!! 🪧

helps quite a bit if I'm being honest

The protocol is open, many people are building beautiful things on it. Jack Dorsey is full of shit.

Great to know their CEO doesn't even understand how AI works. It's not anxious because it's conscious, dumbass. It's anxious because you've been scraping the social media of users living and posting through fucking unstable times.

The fuck you mean? Put the money in the bag.

Maybe it'll happen today.

Tomorrow's Bandcamp Friday fundraiser will be for The Trans Continental Pipeline, helping trans folks leave hostile states (ahem, Kansas) for Colorado.

I wish this quote wasn’t still so relevant

I stopped using Proton Mail earlier this year and now direct sources to reach out to me via Signal only.

Happy Women in Horror Month. There’s a story that when one of Poppy Z. Brite’s (now William Joseph Martin) partners went through Customs with the manuscript of Exquisite Corpse, he was detained because one of the officers thought he might be a serial killer. That's the power Brite’s work. #WiHM

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Oh you think it’s funny that self proclaimed geniuses are losing billions of dollars on the sinking ship that is GenAI? You think it’s absolutely hilarious that they’ll all have to get real jobs eventually? Well guess what, bucko. So do I

Anyways.

One of my favorite indie bands of the last two years dropped a new album today. music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Post an iconic horror movie image.

Hey, if you're feeling like life has passed you by and you're too old to start something new, remember that John Brown was 55 before he killed his first pro-slavery settler in the Kansas Territory. It's never too late to follow your dreams.

Hey, any historians want to tell Fortune what happens to the billionaires if you don’t fix the income inequality through peaceful methods like taxation?

"The most effective consumer boycotts in history share two qualities: they are narrow and they are easy," writes @rutgerbregman.com

When was the last time you listened to the Massive Attack album Mezzanine? It will make your morning better.

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.

New in PN: Pete Hegseth C*ckblocks Anthropic "It’s an abuse of power by an intemperate cable news host using nat'l security law to destroy a company that dared to defy him. It’s also a signal to every govt contractor that negotiating too hard may lead to being exiled from the federal marketplace."

polymarket should be beyond illegal. all involved in its creation and upkeep deserve agony for the rest of their days

A minor league hockey team had a wiener dog race. Zero thoughts, just vibes and absolute chaos. A thing of beauty

This is in fact what I have said. Glad that it landed and you found it useful.

And BOOM goes the dynamite. To all the AI Bros who have slid into my mentions to tell me that you CAN in fact copyright AI materials, the Supreme Court has told you to go suck rocks. A prompt is not authorship. And if there is no author, there is no valid copyright. www.engadget.com/ai/the-supre...

Sad to read that G.G. Santiago, creator of “Rainbow Brite,” has died. Her obit is quite moving. ♥️ www.billingsfuneralhome.com/obituaries/g...

I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.

If you've grown up having to deal with the weirdest and most unsettling of church goers (often white and republican, lets not mince words) you know how true this is. Christian Nationalism is just that mind bending and dangerous. Its basically no different from a turbo cult but now they have power

I know it's a lot to read and I know I keep talking about this but it's because it's incredibly vital that we all understand: The Department of Defense wants to turn over -ALL- logistical and financial planning to an unmitigated AI chatbot that has the authority to surveil and kill people

I am so tired of hearing about shareholders

This may be unfounded but it's also completely true. LLMs are mathematically deterministic machines: same input always gives the same (highest calculated probability) output. They introduced 'temperature' and PRNGs to fuzz that determinism so that the output feels more human.

If you're a trans person in Kansas who had your drivers license invalidated, you can absolutely trust @marisakabas.bsky.social to handle your story with care. I vouch for her 100%.
