No, Pete, but Jesus Christ is ashamed of your "faith". It's damned awkward to explain at dinner.

Ahahahah! Eeeat shit. Oh yes, you go ahead and do "everything you can" to destroy Aetna. If I thought she'd actually do anything, I'd watch and laugh. Instead, I'll just laugh. I worked for a UnitedHealthcare subsidiary. They made me tell a nurse to go get AIDS because no one would take her call.

LOUDER FOR THE CYNICS IN THE BACK, PLEASE... 😏

Another war game I was really interested in just ended up being infested with Nazis. So now I'm once again in the position of not having an "A" hobby to balance out my "B" hobby of designing a space combat game. I really don't want to have two "B" hobbies...

We then fought a war of secession to avoid paying the cost of that military assistance. Sure, there were other reasons for said "revolution" (which left all the same people in power AFTER it was fought as before).

I love how it has "unless it is absolutely and unambiguously relevant" as if the AI could tell the difference between "unambiguously relevant" and all the probabilistic weights given to it by its training data.

Step Two: Getting some simple, stream-lined rules printed. Step Three: Printing and laminating some cards to represent the ships and cargo.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is set to end in 3 weeks. 3 months ago I heard a doctor suggest that Trump looked like he had 3 months to live. Please, Trump, die of old age before The Late Show ends so Stephen can make fun of your corpse.

This is the sort of thing that would end modern human civilization, and is horrifying. This is on par with "what if bacteria started digesting plastics?" Imagine if your laptop would start rotting when left out like a sandwich... Small weird things like this are some of the scariest to me.

Job security for me who earned a degree before genAI, since an entire generation will grow up never learning the basic job skills I took for granted. Except that's not really an up side, even if it "benefits" me in the short term. It's just fucking depressing.

So today I learned that scientists have mathematically predicted a planet in the Oort Cloud that's potentially between the size of Mercury and Earth. Also, current models can't explain a planet that big forming there. So either the models are wrong, or it's extrasolar in origins. There's more...

My favorite part is "You're in pain? Would you like some OTC pain relief?" I assure you if I thought pain meds could deal with this, I'd have taken them myself instead of sat in an ER from 130p to 7p.

Going to work is for losers. What you really want to do is have all your coworkers tell you to go to the ER, go to the ER, and have them say "Meh. You look perfectly healthy. That excruciating pain you're in must be a you problem. You should have that looked at." And people wonder why I dislike ERs

This unfortunately made it to liberal Bsky, if you’re gonna reskeet this, give money to a trans woman first, post your receipt, then you can do what you want w/o getting blocked 👍

Went looking for a horror movie on Prime and saw that I'd watched half of Poltergeist II, but can't remember any of it. That's probably not a sign in favor of Poltegeist II.

The 2019 Swamp Thing series is REALLY GOOD. How did it only get one season?

I'll definitely want to read that

Dwarves have invented high efficiency recycling. And this after they banned capitalism! They remain aspirational.

reposting with alt text because the revolution needs to be accessible

“Punk got woke these days “ Joan Jett the Godmother of punk has worn these woke Buttons on her Jacket in 1981. Punk as fuck.

So now we're selling AI to fix what AI makes. Except it'll still make AI output. AI is so desperate to be useful that they're trying to sell AI to fix AI. If AI worked, it wouldn't need AI to fix it. Also, that won't fix it.

If only we considered cops murdering unarmed Black people or ICE murdering unarmed protesters or Israel mass murdering unarmed Palestinians or cishet white men mass shooting schoolchildren to be "political violence," maybe we'd get somewhere.

A lot of people have bad things to say about TransPerth's new Midland station. Like how inaccessible it is, how far away it is from the bus station, how little seating it has. But I think it's innovative! By installing 6x Schindler escalators, they've guaranteed 8hrs/wk of of work for a technician.

I like how this sounds like "spontaneous combustion" because if I were suddenly granted nobility I would be about as horrified.

The general attitude I see is "fuck you if you were expecting empathy" and let's be real... that's an attitude that's 100% been earned.

Proteus (1995) So anyway you'll never guess where my PFP comes from.

This movie is a trip. Whatever you do, watch it sober. You don't need to risk going into whatever this is on meds. I made that mistake and it was too intense. Amazing movie that is kind of everything at the same time for some reason.

Trying to stay out of bed and be productive today. These took like 3 days to paint, which really shows how slow i've been moving. and actually i'm going to go get back in bed now

Been too sick to eat anything literally all day. Now, at 1130pm, I'm just like "no, i have to eat something." Nope, you didn't you stupid fuck. Now instead of only being in pain from hunger, you get to just be SICK and in pain. None of this is worth the effort I put in.

Added to "misogyny" for criticizing incels. You know, I also criticize racists, fascists, MAGA, TERFS, and transphobes? Gonna add me to those lists, too?

this is a good place to start: theanarchistlibrary.org/library/petr...

This would make those "This is your brain, this is your brain on drugs" commercials REALLY CONFUSING.

Finally(!) I've finished the map art for all of the planets of Solarcrawl. I've been working on this one for years, and am incredibly grateful for all of you who've supported this fantasy heartbreaker. Backers *should* be getting the campaign section in their inboxes at the end of the month.

Imagine a US military operation failing because all the soldiers involved in it bet on it, and someone bought the data of who is betting on what. Actually, you know what? We should keep it legal but only for US military operations bets.

Watching the episode of classic BSG where a con man pretends to be doing genetic tests to reunite families and claims to be Starbuck's dad. Meanwhile, Amazon shows a commercial for a DNA test ancestry thing.

Doctor: *presses on appendix* "Does that hurt?" Me: "Ow. Yes." Doctor: *does it again* "You're sure?" Me: "I am now." So anyway walking hurts too much now, so I'm not going to work.

Okay, I've stopped adding posts to it. 19 skeets of my quick-and-dirty plot on how I would write a proper #LegacyOfKain game to expand the franchise rather than rehash the past.

After the disappointing performance of the new #LegacyofKain game, I've gotten it in my mind that "I could write a better story." So I'm sitting down to see if I can do exactly that. Right now, my goal is to write the story as if I'm writing the main character's narration over a game. (thread)

Me too, Forgotten Beast, me too.

That miserable thousand-yard stare of "i've seen some shit" and "this coffee won't ever be enough to wash it away" is how I wish all AI slop generators felt.

I misread this as Godzilla vs Billionaire and was like "Alright, sounds a bit one-sided, but I'd watch that."

Wu: "We should invent a test to find this medical issue..." Me: "Yes. Good! Then we can get them treatment faster." Wu: "...so we can do a eugenics and PURGE THEM!" Me: "...wh...what?" While I admit someone aborting Brianna would have saved us all a lot of pain, I'm against all of this stupidity

RECYCLING! I painted these.

I feel like I've been ignoring people, but I'll be honest I can't remember who I ignored. For the past week or two I have had 5, MAYBE 6, hours a day where I am awake and alert. I manage to be out of bed for more than that, but not productively. In previous weeks, it was more like 6-8 hours, so...

I need this
