If you’re wondering why Brötchen blew up seemingly out of nowhere, guess what: he’s a nepo baby. His mom is literally a pygmy hippo *at the same fucking zoo*

really fucking hate how "accessibility" has been hijacked to mean "let's treat everyone as if they're children at all times"

Given all of the recent genAI discussion, I wish to repost this.

Sunstar between the vibrant red sails… Captured in Greenland last summer. Looking forward to be back in a bit more than a month.

Jane Yolen’s “Dragon’s Blood” was the first full-length novel I picked out and read, from my local library, as a very young child. RIP Mrs. Yolen and thanks for contributing to my love of reading.

Wu-Tang's message, legacy, and focus on the future continues to belong to the youth. Protect the future. Know yourself. Be united.

Crazy we got group chats before being able to share media in DMs.

This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines

I’m very excited for this! On a summer evening in 1972, a pivotal generation of Harlem Renaissance legends gathered at Duke Ellington’s townhouse. The trailer for “Once Upon a Time in Harlem” is out:

THIS is why people are BIG MAD. “TTRPGs are a primarily literary and social hobby whose main audience is antisocial nerds suffering from functional illiteracy.” in fairness, they did say they meant to “make enemies”

Looking at the markets today and it would be deeply funny / unfunny if Musk's IPO takes down the entire stock market.

lunch break with the lads

This is what every game developer sounds like right now.

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.

This looks like something out of that Mountainhead movie.

Went to a beach and discovered land shrimps are a thing. Well, terrestrial amphipods, technically. They’re quite fast. This is Megalorchestia californiana.

Eleven years of loyal service. Worked VFX for movies on it, video editing and flying logo work, ran my own company on it, got my CCNA and AWS SAA on it. Ran all my Linux VMs and network labs on it. Years and years of RPGs and video games on it. It owes me nothing. 🎺

Mother 3 Remake

LET WOMEN HAVE HOBBIES

what do you call mass detainment camps that kill the people who stay in them

Lets see you D&D fans overlook this one. icv2.com/articles/new...

Writing a single 100-word email with ChatGPT consumes approximately the volume of a standard bottle of water. (Link to peer reviewed white paper published in Communications of the ACM in article) spacedaily.com/k-writing-a-... cacm.acm.org

Some detail shots of the village egg

This article is SO fucking funny. "The real problem is there aren't enough 50+ game designers!" Yeah, agreed. Any thoughts on why that might be? Like maybe the fact that this industry fires treats anyone over 35 as "not hungry enough", and relies on burning out a steady stream of younger devs? no?

RIP to John Blanche, the best to ever do it. Before Warhammer was even Warhammer he understood what it was: weird, gross, unsettling, maximalist.

Sad times. His art was such a huge part of my childhood and youth - White Dwarf covers and so much more.

So many people who can reasonably be described as “that little shit” are in charge of so much of society.

Four people today messaged me independently to tell me Castle Rat is doing a new tour headlining. So I’m telling you all in turn. A full set from these guys kicks ass. You should go see em if you like music sounds like a wizard painted on the side of a van

Hasbro is truly evil. solidarity to all the Wizards Of The Coast workers dealing with this transphobic nonsense.

Andy Merrill (Brak) is an Amazon delivery driver. Carey Means (Frylock) got CHF from/exacerbated by COVID & was recently working as a restaurant dishwasher. C. Martin Croker (Zorak) died of sepsis from an infected tooth he couldn't afford to get treated. Capitalism destroys both art & artist.

Embracer CEO Hopes People Will 'Trust' The Company Again Even As He <Does Precisely the Opposite of What Might Achieve That>

Good because cancelling that project, at that late stage, was stupid and wasteful. Just like the Iranian war. www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

I'll go further and say that any politician who's backing AI as the solution to everything at this point in time, rather than two years ago, needs to have their logins changed and be kept as far away from sensitive information as possible for the rest of their term.

I’m laughing so hard I can’t feel my legs.

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

AI Companies : “You need to finally pay the REAL cost for these drugs we got you addicted to.” AI Users : *sees potential bills* “I’m out!”

What can make a process that has already cost a trillion dollars to set up but hasn't made a single dollar of profit worse? Actually charging the customers correctly for it. LOL.

if ai could create anything novel they wouldn't be desperate for every drop of training data. qed

Can I interest you in a moist owlette as a timeline cleanse? This is Sassafras the Eastern Screech Owl from the Cincinnati Zoo (@cincinnatizoo.bsky.social, but via their FB) and I love him very much. Eastern Screech Owls (Megascops asio) are native to eastern North America.

oh thank goodness they put two separate adult content labels to hide this incredibly nsfw pizza

I know "Spider Noir" has adamantly come out against generative AI for everything but there is this nod to the cantina music in Episode 3 where the blend in / composition seems "off" like it's what generative AI would do to try to blend pieces of music together. Happy to be wrong.

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.
