Uninterested in leading a pile-on but no, AI does not “have access” to everything ever published. Not archival material, obviously, but not secondary material either. Nor across times nor languages. AI is not human knowledge personified. It’s exactly not that, in fact. It’s not even a search engine.

Meet Suvi - a precocious, clever, & curious young wizard - in Worlds Beyond Number: The Official Graphic Novel from @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social, @erikaishii.bsky.social, @aabria.bsky.social, & Lou Wilson - adapted by @planetx.bsky.social & @sarahwebb.bsky.social!

I would be remiss not to point out that "Tricking Milli Vanilli into performing a concert for a dictator" is LITERALLY a storyline from the 1990s 'Super Mario Bros 3' cartoon 🙃

Gazebo-pon my works, ye mighty, and despair! (No, I don't know why that got stuck in my head. Yes, I know it's 'look' not 'gaze' in the text. But if I have to suffer this bouncing around in my skull so do you!)

Remember: we were never given credit for being right about crypto, we were never given credit for being right about NFTs, we were never given credit for being right about the metaverse and we will never be given credit for being right about AI. Fuck 'em up anyway.

listen, the only thing I have to say about the Odyssey is that these fucking asshole right-wing chuds don't fucking own history or literature. their racism and bigotry should be met with scorn and shame. read, instead, as James Baldwin (from an interview in 1963):

A reminder that the WWW OST composed by @taylordotbiz.bsky.social is out TODAY! taylormooremusic.bandcamp.com/album/worlds...

Well the Punisher one shot was a flop. Thought at first it might actually zig & give us something interesting and the urban hellscape was the projection of Frank's mental health spiral. But, nope, apparently it's supposed to be real and Frank's mental illness and ultraviolence is good and desired.

Huge news: we are beyond excited to announce that we have partnered with @skybound.bsky.social for our very first official graphic novel!! More info: www.patreon.com/posts/158042... www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHOG...

You might be thinking, 'I make normal games so I'm fine' but, uh, you don't get to decide what 'normal' is – they do. Put any description of queerness or sexual trauma in your game and you've given them cause to boot you from their platform. Voidheart wouldn't pass these guidelines, I think.

and we offer more value for dollar!

Feel CEOs are getting a bit too comfy if they're just throwing out the "actually you shouldn't have stable employment" line. Seems like something you only admit to internally.

it is devastating to notice how few benches there are in the world and how some benches have been replaced by weird "leaning" things. the world is incredibly cruel to disabled, elderly, poor, pregnant, tired, homeless, and all people. there should be benches fucking everywhere for everyone

The thing is that this has been true for a long time. Thinking that liberal arts degrees are impractical is received wisdom that collapses under the slightest scrutiny. This claim is only "counterintuitive" if you have bad intuition about higher ed, and, accidentally and on purpose, most people do.

PRE-SALES are now LIVE for the soundtrack to Book One of The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One from @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social Buying the album during pre-sales helps us IMMENSELY, and you immediately get two of my personal favorite tracks, "Carrow" and "Sarazmir" COME PARTY WITH US <3

Amused at how irrationally annoyed I get when Netflix decides to drip feed a show despite being perfectly fine with (and often preferring it) on other streaming platforms. You spent over a decade teaching me I'm supposed to unhealthily binge your product. You can't so easily undo that association.

Look, I'm not theistic. I don't care about anyone's faith. But even I know they're not 'abandoning their faith' - they never actually held it - they're just dropping a mask that no longer benefits them for a new one that does.

Correlation is not causation yada yada. Magical thinking yada yada. But two different cars, on two different occasions, stalled out while driving past me today and I'm going to take power from that.

XL-ZL when the Grit runs out @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social

Love how we had this series of extremely contentious and contemptuous interactions with this website's higher ups where they pretty much told us to our face "Yeah we're using Al to code, you fucking peasant. Deal with it." immediately followed by a good month of very frequent outages on the website.

'We're going to blockade the Strait!' 'What about supplies, sir?' 'Let the enemy worry about their supplies!' 'That's not what I meant, sir... sir?'

While it's not impossible for them not to make money - her wealth is pretty much pegged to Amazon and if it went under so would she - that doesn't change the end lesson. Tax the shit out of them (and the companies as well).

I can’t “indoctrinate” students I can’t even get them to read a book of their choice for funsies then talk about it

TTRPG with old-school "you can die in character creation" mechanics, except most terminal events are stuff like "reached adulthood with no major traumas" or "found a love of carpentry", so your goal is to make enough bad life choices that your character is a big enough loser to become an adventurer.

Wild how they can predict where a tiny metal bean that's almost completely uncontrolled will land going 25,000mph from fucking space with pinpoint accuracy... But we just can't stop those hellfire missiles from obliterating hospitals, schools, and weddings accidentally 🤷🏽‍♀️

Very amused at the synchronicity of my delivery driver wearing a 'goat' hat while delivering me my actual goat.

The world not screeching to a halt when the US killed more than 100 little school girls on the very first day of this "liberating war" led us exactly to this moment

“But there has to be a path to redemption for people like Louis CK..” Let me stop you right there: no there doesn’t. You made that up.

So, thing that is apparently better understood inside academia than outside of it: International students pay sticker price. Most domestic students do not. International students are subsidizing the education costs for domestic students, as per student governmental funding drops.

just for the record "death of the author" means "the author doesnt have total control over the meaning of their own art" not "its okay to give money to hitler if you liked his paintings as a child"

It's indeed possible to beat bad things backed by big money

Cut to @alyankovic.bsky.social lining up the sniper scope: "Say April Fools... say it you child of a..." (I kid, of course, we know Weird Al would welcome it)

"criticizing AI use in journalism or other creative industries is classist" NO IT IS NOT there is a class that benefits enormously from cognitive surrender, epistemic warfare, and the enclosure of all hitherto produced culture and it is NOT THE WORKING CLASS

no, it simply isnt. People are talking about capital using gAI as an excuse to conduct mass lay-offs, about students losing learning because theyre being lied to about gAI in education, about the mass theft of the work of artists and authors to train LLMs, about CSAM and nonconsensual sexual images.

"Air it out...." - @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social Did @aabria.bsky.social just 'Twelve Brooks' @erikaishii.bsky.social in Episode freaking Two? 'Nice home base filled with colorful NPCs you have here. Real shame if something... happened... to it.'

He starred in a '90s NBC sitcom, he stopped having to work 25 years ago.

I still see too many users here unaware of this, and it's why we are never getting things like soft-blocking, restricted/locked accounts, or circles (and if we do, you shouldn't trust them). Treat EVERYTHING you do on here INCLUDING DMs as though it is fully public (because it is!)

I guess that’s one theory. Mine is “people stopped funding them so they stopped getting made and a bunch of companies that made them were absorbed into other companies who didn’t see any value in them” www.pcgamer.com/games/strate...

Ok, look... How many times do I have to say it? STOP FUCKING WITH THE NYT Your boy writes for them. HE DEAD TO YOU. You need advice on what to buy? YOU DONT NEED TO BUY SHIT. Your mom loves the crossword? FUCK YOUR MOM. Block that shit from your life already.

"It's not fair of environmentalists to point out that in addition to being finite resources that are actively destroying the planet, fossil fuels also leave us at the mercy of fragile supply and logistics chains significantly controlled by autocrats in geopolitically chaotic parts of the world."

Remember kids: You can't 'separate the art from the artist' while the artist is still actively benefitting from you consuming the work. That's just willful ignorance. Not saying you can't consume what you want but be honest with yourself about it.

I'll punch you in the dick if you do some "i'm reviewing the new harry potter series because it's cultural and important criticism even if JKR is bad" shit in 2026.

'Most annoying group of people can't find people willing to honestly tolerate them.'

“It’s inevitable” “you can’t roll it back” “you just have to accept it”

Making a great, successful game won't protect you from layoffs. Being with a company for decades won't protect you from layoffs. Being a model employee who goes above and beyond won't protect you from layoffs. Unionize now!

@aabria.bsky.social Congratulations on the Wild One!
