Our built environment has evolved so much faster than we have. We are anxious little hunter tracker animals who are predisposed to think there’s a lion behind every bush because there was a point where that was a decent survival mechanism and now it’s usually a 7/11 and I’m all freaked out

Now I’m falling asleep and she’s calling a cob

I've been working in sketchbooks more as part of a class assignment; here are some of my recent sketches 👉👈 I've been trying to draw what comes to me in the moment, and not worry too much about the output or making everything perfect, but also put time into each to make it feel 'done' as a sketch.

ANTHROPIC: “artificial superintelligence will certainly cause the end of the human species, which is we must build it before OpenAI does so we can have some chance of inscribing human moral values on the post-human future” OPENAI: “what if we put ads in ChatGPT?”

“We don’t have to approach and criticize this album as art, because it isn’t art. The Life of a Showgirl is made of Shein quality rip-offs of other people’s songs that are constructed shoddily and sold in ginormous quantities. Art takes time and care. This is profit. It’s content.” WHEW.

Friends, I’m leading a craftivism/embroidery workshop Thursday evening in chicago at Hey, I Thought of You. Register now! #craftivism heyithoughtofyou.com/index.html#e...

this is a life well lived. this is what it’s all about.

"Ballerina Aesha Ash wandering around inner city Rochester breaking the stereotypes about women of color and to inspire young kids."

My kid's therapist has been billing for an hour and we just found out he's been meeting with my son for fifteen minute sessions. My son's autistic and B's his health proxy so uhh. The therapist deciding this was cool and still billing for an hour with zero communication until I CAUGHT HIM.

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

oh wow, that’s totally different than my experience. the demons who came out when I solved the puzzle box were basically all-in on pleasure. not so much the chains and mutilation

getting princess treatment (being married off at 12 and shipped off to a country where I don’t speak the language to live with an inbred gay prince so what’s left of the Holy Roman Empire doesn’t fall completely to pieces)

We should all go back to hanging out on final fantasy message boards with 23 other users with Evangelion avatars who all hate each other.

Aidan and Ty have one of the best podcasts around with Fun Factor, particularly if you're an ageing nerd like me who misses magazines (and still reads old ones on the toilet)

Thinking about that white, wannabe-"momfluencer" who made up a story about a Hispanic couple circling her like vultures, whispering about how beautiful her kids were, and following her to the parking lot to execute a kidnapping attempt. Like. You know that's how people have gotten lynched, right.

Someone asked "why dont artists post tutorials as much anymore? It's always behind a paywall" I think it is because every single time I have seen a tutorial go viral people end up SCREAMING at the artist "how DARE you tell me how to draw?!"

I truly don’t get the appeal of podcasts having to be video now. Podcasts are at their very best when you’re doing something else, working out or playing videogames etc, and no good podcaster has ever been someone who should be shown on screen that’s just not how that works. It’s a goblin job.

Another problem is when tech people see normies misunderstanding tech things you to talk to us like we are a bunch of malicious idiots. When in fact we don’t have enough knowledge to parse what you are saying. Less of vehemence against people who don’t speak your language would go a long way.

For anyone who has been fighting for your life with Zoom's AI companion, you have to turn it off in the web settings, not in the app!

Moderation is difficult but they still need to find a person to do press releases. A thread

alright. the trans people in sports issue is clearly a nuanced and complicated debate, so i've collected my thoughts here in order to try and make some sense of this: 1. bro chill out 2. its a game 3. just let her play 4. have you SEEN trans sports dykes ??? 5. with muscles ???????

Dear [Author], Your book [Title] is wonderful. I had painful urination and blood in my urine for years, until I read [Title] and now there is a clear golden stream. [Title] deserves a wider readership. My team of 5,000 cyber-turtles can post honest reviews and raise your Zoob ranking, for a modest

What I dont get about Newsom love is outside the redistricting (kudos for being willing to use leverage) all the talk about how he's the clear frontrunner uniquely suited to beat Trump amounts to trolling on twitter and posting memes. Pretty much the only policy I know from him is being anti trans.

A Star Brighter Than the Sun – Episode 1 A simple, but well executed, premiere that’ll remind viewers of why they like a good shoujo romance www.animefeminist.com/a-star-brigh...

Right? Like, a single fast-food meal is $15-20 now. $200 a month is nothing for take-out. With tip and fees, that's a couple ordering Five Guys once per week.

I saw a cabbage for $4.95 the other day and thought shit, I might be able to make money selling garden vegetables after all 😅

I feel like no one realizes how much even normal things cost now. The prices have gone up so drastically the last 5 years that it's easy to shoot off an assumption about money using old programming from a different economic reality.

"but it's everywhere now so we just have to accept it's the new reality" motherfucker we can just stop putting it everywhere! we did it with asbestos and CFCs and lead-based paint or petrol and make-up with arsenic in it! if everyone is using something and it's bad, we can choose to stop!

For a while I was a barback at one of the Joe coffee shops; they were really big on latte art so if someone fucked up the flower or whatever they would remake the drink. One shift I was like "okay every latte we would normally throw away im going to drink" and I almost died

What are some examples of movies for kids like 5-12 that are lean more sensitive? Movies that aren't really violent or have guns or fighting? Stories that solve things a little more internally or through emotional growth? Off the top of my head: Kiki's Delivery Service Ponyo Spirited Away

i know this has been talked to death but it’s absolute cuckoo bananas that toby fox had a dream abt a game he wanted to make, decided he wasn’t yet skilled enough to make that game, went on to make a spiritual predecessor to his dream game just to get the hang of it, and THAT game was undertale

Someone found the exact point when the bunny numbers jumped ahead by 100 a year ago… I don’t think I’ll correct the order at this point (messes up my bookkeeping) but that means that THIS autumnal bunny is actually number 3000!

A great way to turn the temp down here as @jay.bsky.team @pfrazee.com and @aaron.bsky.team want would be to stop communicating site policies and practices with individual users or on their timelines and hire a comms person who is a professional communicator to do all the front facing interaction.

I cannot go over the hive content moderation thing again pls guys we've been talking about it in 2023 🫠 If anyone needs me I will be on my side account posting blorbo

I understand that they gave somebody 150 million to be the new boss of CBS. I just want to say, if these people are ever looking to do more novel things with their money, for 150 million dollars I will write an album every day for a year. I'll do it, too. try me

me: fandom is so weird you get super invested in the doings of these other people who don't even care about your opinion most of the time and your entire day is based on whether they did good or feel bad and then you have to feel the same way mom: This is just parenthood

I'm tired of looking for stories from trans and intersex sex workers and finding far more instances of people speaking over us than instances where we get to speak for ourselves. We're 20% of the way to an anthology seeking to combat that! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mxj...

From reddit to you, a gift

I think in this case we should maybe turn the temperature down. Aaron should have been more explicit in his post and not assumed people knew the details of what he was talking about.

I'm seeing a lot of discussion about whether the ai evaluator the mod team uses here eats your art or not. I don't have an opinion on that. What I DO know is this site is absolutely open by design and the folks who run it value tech over people and have always demonstrated this. Glaze your stuff.

Liberal guys think that if only the Epstein files would be released, every maga will have the trembling hand and the two stumble steps backwards and “m-my GOD” and a “h-how… how could I have been so wrong” then they fall to their knees in despair before taking up arms to oust Trump
