Happy thought of the day: I am thoroughly entertained that I'm on a few mod lists and they're all by people who are butthurt that I actively hate on their grifts. That all the lists are moderated by shills for AI and Crypto means I'm making the right enemies. #fuckai #fuckcrypto

Since 1968, CEO pay has exploded while worker pay has remained stagnant. If worker pay grew at the same pace as CEO pay, today’s typical worker would make $431.80 per HOUR. Instead, today’s typical worker makes $36.49 per hour — while CEOs make 280 times that on average. The system is rigged.

The full weight of western capitalism is about to laser focus on NYC. The robber barons failed to win and will panic. They will sabotage NYC because the system cannot allow Mamdani's term to be successful. They cannot allow people to believe things can be better. Your job now is to hold the line. 1/

Happy Halloween! (sorry I forgot to post this here earlier) #griddlehark

“Reporters, take note: there are zero mainstream articles pointing out that the White House now considers birth control a form of abortion.” @jessicavalenti.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/jessica/...

Medical exceptions are onerous and basically fake and that's why we should just trust pregnant people and their doctors (as opposed to overwhelmingly male politicians) to know what's best. It's actually simpler that way! Politicians -- hands off all our bodies!

A hard truth is that the search for artificial general intelligence as a commercial tool is fundamentally a reproduction of slavery. Not because computers are people or anything so silly, but because of the impetus: To acquire the products of humanity without the need for a human to consent.

AWS being down is a great reminder that letting Amazon own half the internet is a really bad thing we've allowed to happen

AWS services down, meaning I cannot use the software (I pay for) to be able to do my job. I'm starting to think that making everything in the modern world entirely dependant on subscription based packages that all have the exact same weak-point might be... bad!?!

The Israeli colonists are horrifying people. The desire to kick that guy's ass up and down the street while the baby watches is strong.

If this pops up during your scroll time, it’s because the algorithm knows you like TTRPGs…so what if you came to my Daggerheart charity stream tonight at 5:30 PT? 👉🏼👈🏼 We’re raising funds for Medical Aid for Palestinians

I was momentarily confused, then checked downdetector. 5 minutes isn't the end of the world but it was surprising. We are not addicted to scrolling...

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free. When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

email i just sent to my agent: "(REDACTED) is a rage-a-holic anti-vax Trumpster so I’m gonna pass on doing a faith-based film with him lol"

As I find myself adding more accounts to my block list today, I will take a moment to shout into the void the reminder that if it's AI generated, then it isn't art. Art is created by people through effort and creativity and inspiration from other people. GenAI is theft. Ai is not art. Never will be.

When freedom is under fire you can count on me to ramble and mutter incoherently.

Even after four summers here, Alaska can still manage to surprise me in my last few hours here. The clearest view of Mt. Drum I've ever seen. Most days you wouldn't even know there's a mountain there it's so gray.

As of the publication of The Body Keeps the Score in 2015, 1 in 5 Americans have been molested as a child. That's 20% of the country. Twenty. Percent. And every single one of us is paying attention to what's happening right now. They are not a hoax. WE are not a hoax. I stand with the survivors.

"So we gave retail CEOs $41 million in tax breaks and then they raised our prices by 26%? Oops, guess we won't do that again." Just kidding. Trump and Republicans just re-upped those tax breaks and raised your energy, grocery, and healthcare costs to do it. Have a nice day!

I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org

There’s a persistent myth that new solar farms don’t really help tackle climate change because panels are “made with coal” and “never pay back” their carbon debt. This is simply false. - UN: solar ~8x cleaner than gas, ~19x than coal per kWh - panels repay CO2 in 4 months; save 57x over life

A reminder that there is no such thing as #aiart. AI generated images are just amalgamations of stolen artwork, Frankenstein'd into a mimicry of creativity. A person entering prompts is not an artist. My feed has been inundated with #aislop for days and my blocklist has been eating well. 🚫 #noai 🚫

Great Lakes state officials have touted the region’s “blue economy,” and lured data centers to locate in the region, offering tax breaks and other incentives on top of the promise of all the water these centers need to cool their energy-intensive computing equipment. news.wttw.com/2025/08/20/m...

Friendly reminder.

Hello BSky Peeps! I am now🚨LIVE🚨on Twitch for some more Ghost Busting in #Phasmophobia! Come by the AshTR Bar for all your favorite drinks as we reunite the Scooby Gang ( @shagrazir.bsky.social, DryFilms ) & welcome in @llamalasscrabslyr.bsky.social to join the team! www.twitch.tv/ashtrgaming

Much like the original season of "Squid Game" the creators of a massive hit don't get to share in the spoils. That Netflix doesn't give bonuses to creatives when something is a MASSIVE hit is nothing but greed. Your only way to be rewarded for great success is to provide them unnecessary sequels.

And I'll be on @ashtrgaming.bsky.social's channel for Phasmaphobia this week Saturday with @shagrazir.bsky.social & Dryfilms (I'll try to stream this one but we'll see if the ol' Qwerty can deal...)
