In response to the folks who replied to that post about the rising costs of groceries by saying shit like "just cut out chips and candy," I have the following to say: Go fuck yourself. For a more thorough response, see below.

Sundae and Loki have been coexisting in my office-in-progress all day. A few hisses and growls, but they eventually settle.

The FDA has labeled MSG safe, noting you'd need to consume over 3 grams to feel any negative effect. Most foods top out around 0.5 grams. The "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome" scare that demonized it was built on junk science (and, well, racism).

"Weird Al" Yankovic has always been a real one. Just learned that he very recently turned down "a nice pile of money" to shill for A.I. Damn right he did. @alyankovic.bsky.social www.syracuse.com/entertainmen...

I hate that every week there's something stupid like an Everyone Has To Drink Pee Now Bill and the alert sounds to CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES THIS IS NOT A DRILL and you really wish you could just trust them to not go for the pee drinking bill

I use Firefox, but I imagine that there's a similar extension for Chrome. I found and installed this: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo... ALSO: once I installed it, Amazon's responsiveness has gone WAY up. So most of the slowness of the site was coming from its bullshit AI tools. What a surprise!

We have a little over 24 hours to save the internet. The vote for a package of internet-freedom destroying bills is being rushed to the US House floor on Monday the 29th. Spread this beyond Bluesky, ASAP. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

What's it like in your head?

this is literally the fastest "write your representative" prompt ive seen, please share your thoughts

I've just updated my worldbuilding tool, Cartulary, to v1.5. It now has an entire conlang workspace for your world's languages and and those worlds can have celestial bodies with full Keplerian math to determine when celestial phenomena occur. drakhanas.itch.io/cartulary #worldbuilding #ttrpg #rpg

Oh no! Oh, Sundae! I need to put away a picture in my hallway gallery wall. I have a picture of a black cat peeking into the frame in the hallway. Sundae is scared of that painting! Suddenly her fear of stepping into the hallway makes sense 😭

#HBDPrompto #PromptoArgentum Of course it was a disaster. That unbearable, dearest secret has always been a disaster. (from "Going There" by Jack Gilbert) #super's #FFXV #fanart

Sneaks is such a weird fuckin guy and he revels in it

Of all the places we went, I think Goblin Valley State Park in Utah was probably my favorite. It felt like stepping onto a different planet. Absolutely otherworldly.

Fanfiction is now truly considered doing the Lords work lol

Science is not truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

Generative AI is not only fundamentally based on the rejection of consent, but also *standards*. Artists have been micromanaged and hounded over individual pixels, academics fighting to defend every minute detail of their thesis, etc, and then are tossed away in favor of the get shit wrong machine.

You know what Nintendo does when they have a surplus set of devs from cancellations or production ending? Put them on other projects. The ability to redeploy headcount while keeping teams together over time is like, the main strategic benefit of scale in the game industry

Canyonlands National Park!

i’m a marine biologist. at this stage, my professional opinion is that a significant amount of dynamite will be needed to disintegrate the carcass. this has never been done before, especially in oregon.

Older lady peeped the rainbow flag on my bike, asked in a thick Russian accent “It’s your Pride?” She told me her youngest grandchild is “not she berry or he berry but no berry.” I said “Nonbinary?” She got so excited. Yes! Yes! And “Is a secret, but they are my“ *looks around, whispers* “favorite.”

What a baby 💖 I'd recognize that pibble wiggle anywhere

Ardyn is taking some well-deserved vacation time after some grueling workdays. And as if that weren’t enough, he runs into the Glaives, Drautos, and a beautiful young woman who reminds him of his late wife: TO BE CONTINUED #ARDYN #ffxv #ardynizunia

Throwback to some faves from the 2020 FF Wings and Flowers calendar. Was pretty inspired for this one; researched flower language to decide which blooms went with each pic, though I can't remember all the symbolism now. I'd like to make another one of these years. #FFVII #FFVIII #FFXV #FFXIII

Sundae is getting better at cuddling during storms, rather than freaking the hell out. This morning, I got her under the covers with me and she immediately commenced biscuits. I'd say she's making good progress towards unpacking some baggage!

Not to be like, everybody's mom, but remember when you were first getting on the internet and you were told not to give away private information to anybody you don't know? Corporation is people you don't know

Two pages today, make sure you click forward for the second! The Red Cost, Chapter 01, p76-77 posted! www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/Th...

‘Lilo & Stitch’ creators Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois have shared a tribute artwork honoring the late Daveigh Chase.

Sundae is learning: When storms arrive, go to Mom's room. Still working on *how* to get up onto my bed under the covers. Second round of lightning heavy torrential downpours of the day and baby kitty had *opinions* ⛈️🙀

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a new antibiotic, known as manikomycin, that may be a bulwark in the fight against drug-resistant superbugs. By attacking the ribosome in a never-before-seen way, manikomycin can evade the existing mechanisms pathogens have developed to resist antibiotics.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Can white people just fucking stop

I spent the last few months talking to over 30 game developers about generative AI. It began as a sort of interview survey but became a pretty comprehensive collection of arguments against the technology altogether. www.gamesradar.com/games/why-so...

By now, the cards have been sniffed, pawed, batted, and judged by the only creatures whose opinions matter, which means we’re right on schedule. The Cats are the Best Superdrop is on sale now!

HEARTBREAKING: Person with a huge backlog of dozens and dozens of games decides to play their comfort game once more.

Evergreen.

I've got a new *big* set of land proxies I've designed, this time, based on 5-star outfits from #InfinityNikki. #MagictheGathering #mtg #cardproxies

Walked into the living room and found Leia and Mana snuggling together. 🥰

Even on a red carpet, Magic players can't resist opening a pack. #MTGxMarvel

I generally don't like cross-posting from Twitter, but Mike Young absolutely nails how the US wound up with a resurgence of the flesh-eating screwworm decades after it had been eliminated.
