Thinking of getting into the "game lore theory youtuber" business

…humans who need to be “monitored” to ensure they’re “productive”, versus AIs where no one seems to ever even question what “productive” even is.

It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.

Proud of my country

Most accurate portrait of modern culture currently available

Insisting on a world that is shrunk down to a spectrum of things you're comfortable talking to your kids about isn't just lazy and entitled, it's profoundly unrealistic. Children have questions. Many of them are going to be uncomfortable. Deal with it or don't have kids.

It's amazing how many guys you can find on Grindr whose kink is basically "two bros hang out doing homoerotic shit and then say 'no homo'"

nobody else is ever going to attain this combination of visionary genius and stepping on your own dick in a single reply tweet

On one hand, it makes me very proud that my country is consistently not giving in to Trump's bullshit. On the other, I must admit I'm terrified to know that we're definitely going to be first to be bombed when Trump completely loses it and finally attacks Europe.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture. Understood instantly what it meant.

Wonderfully written NY Times piece by a local dad involved in the resistance, really echoes with a lot of what we’re feeling: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/18/o... (gift link)

AI is the “asbestos of the internet”

The problem of conversion therapy is, as ever, not that conversion therapy doesn't work (although that's true) but that it constitutes an act of violence to suppress almost exclusively vulnerable people's core psychological development and that is devastating.

This is—ironically enough—what I am talking about. RW voters who demand their bigotries be accommodated are never "radical" or "throwing a tantrum." No—those are "swing voters" to pursue, even as they fail to show up time & again. The goal here isn't a bigger tent, but to prevent movement leftward.

As a child protection professional, I can tell you the death penalty is NOT an awesome solution to child sexual abuse. Most children are abused by family members; they will not report if their family members will die as a result.

I made a filterlist for uBlock Origin to remove Generative AI features on websites. Includes blocks for * Google AI Summaries * YouTube Ask button & chat summaries * GitHub Copilot * Facebook AI chat * X's Grok buttons * Deviantart DreamUp * Booru AI images * And more github.com/Stevoisiak/S...

the magic of the Muppets is that there are two fourth walls. they constantly break the one that reminds the audience they are performers. they NEVER break the one that reminds the audience they are puppets. this dynamic is the key to their entire comedy style

I started a new BG3 playthrough and every time my Tav says "I shouldn't have wished to live in more interesting times" I'm like "FUCKING SAME, BUDDY. FUCKING. SAME."

when reviewer 2 wants you to cite 3 texts by the same scholar

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

its so cute!!!

It’s so funny that this guy’s entire thing is “Oh are you triggered by what I have to say about marginalized people” but he loses it when someone more well-liked than he will ever be talks about an actual injustice

I'm only halfway through grading essays, and the deadline is dangerously close, but if I read "it's A, B and C" or "it's not A; it's B" one more time, I swear that I'll snap. Man, fuck ChatGPT. I cannot wait for the AI bubble to pop and for it to become way less accessible.

wait, so Visa, Mastercard et. al can go after video game storefronts for six fucking months for having porn games but the moment X/Grok starts generating ACTUAL CHILD PORN they CHANGE THEIR POLICIES? dawg,

🚨 El Ministerio de Trabajo de España abre, entre gallos y medianoche, la opción de «participación pública» para presentar aportaciones, hasta el próximo 2 de febrero, al Real Decreto sobre el Estatuto del Artista que PERMITE el uso de IA generativa en los sectores artístico-culturales ⚠️

I just thought everyone should see this

Wanted: Schroedinger Dead and alive

weird how the solution to unregulated industries is to regulate people instead

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

oh i had this realization once

Two Aliens Looking At Bluesky

Hey, @shadowtodd.bsky.social, do you accept non-English songs in your "singers singing karaoke to their own songs" list? This one was one of the candidates for Spain to send to Eurovision in 2022, and even though it didn't win, it did hit number 1 in the country www.youtube.com/watch?v=1j_d...

"people would like to know if the game was made with genAI tools" is reason enough to disclose if the tools were used, for the same reason that I would like to be able to know the salt and fat content of food before I eat it

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

Look maybe this is the pile of laundry speaking but I’m starting to think wearing clothes might be overrated

This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I really do think that Taylor saw Sabrina Carpenter and Chapell Roan, realized people like songs that talk about sex in an explicit but light-hearted way, and then made the biggest series of miscalculations anyone has ever made

I finished Expedition 33 yesterday and I legit had trouble sleeping. I couldn't stop thinking about that ending. Good lord, what a fucking great game.
