I had the pleasure to meet Tanya last year and if anyone deserves a break from the universe, it's her. The universe doesn't provide, so we pick up the slack. They're a treasure and should be treasured.

Reading any given headline this week like

Expensive chocolate isn't expensive cocoa, which does make a huge difference. 80% of global production are Forastero beans, they're hardy, high-yield and slightly bitter - unless you know exactly what you got, you got this one. And they're fine! But they do lose a little appeal in the 70% range.

In lieu of the film business falling apart, some people have been saying to write your "fuck it" script. I don't know if that was the inspiration for this one, but it sure looks like 100 percent, pure "fuck it" to me. Which is a good thing.

please watch movies and read books and play games and look at art, please view it with your own eyes through a lens you made yourself and not just through video essayists and ending explained videos please im begging you

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

Those numbers seem a little odd, so what you want to do when you look into this is: - find out who did the study and who paid for it, sometimes they're the same but not always - this is about potential bias - look at the methodology - this tells you about potential bad math or bad design

Give folks their flowers No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier "They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

They've lost the 9yos

I love late summer

Sometimes things are pretty.

Bruh

This year has been a stark and unpleasant reminder that there is real utility in cash money. Privacy. Neither my bank nor my government nor a global corporation should be privy to all my expenses and transactions. And yet, here we are.

It's a gimmick. They let the AI "develop" the drink - including recipe and design - but then real people fixed the mistakes. Like everywhere else, AI is pretty useless at this. What kills me is that this is a 100 old brewery. These people know their stuff. AI adds nothing.

Controversial opinion, but I think Trans people should feel safe. And Nazis shouldn't.

This takes "be gay, do crimes" to previously unimagined levels

Me reacting like someone just walked over my grave every year when the Yuletide mods send out the first email of the season

After German Reunification my dad was pulled into PC building and maintenance by a West German charlatan. It ended badly but it meant that we built our first home computer ourselves. It had a little turbo button. At ten years old, I shredded the entire system by manually deleting system files.

I never thought I would see this in my life, and that they’re making it immediately generic so it’s affordable is making me want to cry

Humblebundle to support World Central Kitchen, and get a bunch of my books from @tordotcom.bsky.social including Murderbot and Witch King! #booksky www.humblebundle.com/books/martha...

Zucchini have been good this year

I don't know whether that's a normal thing or just my brain but when I'm speaking English I can't pronounce my own name. I actively have to shift back into German for all of the sounds to come out right. It's like hauling a mine cart from one set of tracks to the next.

I'm 41 right now and damn do I get it.

IT'S CALLED QUIET QUITTING MOTHERFUCKERS.

Wow, they named a whole area after Dean Cain

The most problematic ship? Censorship

starting to think we should give "strange women lying in ponds distributing swords" a chance as a basis for our system of government

Deskilling is real. This is the world generative AI peddlers long for, one where people are incompetent without their service. Don't outsource your brain to this shit. You'll regret it.

Well said!!

Not just me, right…?

Create NSFW art Porn is not evil, sex is not abhorrent, pleasure is not a crime Even if you don't agree with all kinks doesn't mean they should be allowed to censor art This is why we have tags and the blick button, not megacorps deciding what we can and cannot like Always resist oppression

I love when people are like "AI will replace writers because writing is low-grade/meaningless/unskilled work" but then are like "I can't write a whole paper because that's hard." Like girl which is it.

Excellent article about how LLMs perform their feats of "magic" by exploiting the same psychological hacks that psychics do when performing cold readings. ::Chefs kiss:: softwarecrisis.dev/letters/llme...

Things that are absolutely delightful about #KCD2 : The German accents, the scenery, the horses, the terrible jokes, blacksmithing, picking flowers, falling in love with a prat of a lord.

Happy for more vocal & widespread support for queer smut but I could REALLY do without the "support this stuff before it's gone & banned forever!!!" framing. You don't actually have to take it for granted that everything will keep getting worse! You don't have to cede territory in advance!

Happiest of birthdays to my favorite Shepard anywhere in the galaxy! The best (and only!) Br Uriah, Mark Meer! (Mark isn’t on Bsky, but I’m wishing him a happy birthday here anyway!)

This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday. It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever. I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.

Biggest frustration but also source of hilarity in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: when you give your dog food on even the very slightest incline and it's shaped even remotely roundish, world physics explodes and it rolls and rolls rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls and
