The weirdest thing about scorcese making AI movies is that there will legitimately better marvel mcu movies than whatever slop he makes. Incredible own goal

One of my least favourite shots from the TOS remaster is of this practical effect showing the inner workings of an android from "I, Mudd" The original has so much 60s charm while the remaster is utterly incongruous and feels unlike anything else from the original series.

Start leaking, civil servants

This death still makes me livid to this day; an indigenous, queer person of color and their pet were murdered just because of hate...during Pride Month. This is why we have to remember why Pride exists to begin with.

Reeeeeeally resonant shit from Vasily Grossman's STALINGRAD:

I wish VR had taken off instead of AI and especially without Meta, because there's something really pleasant about blocking out the world and diving into cyberspace, even if it's just to watch some anime or to go on a fantasy adventure with my siblings.

Klingon lesson for the day! {tlhIngan bIghHa' rur baraq 'oba'ma che'wI' paq qach} "Barack Obama's presidential library is like a Klingon prison."

it is in absolutely everybody’s best interests to develop some hobbies aside from Phone

Damn that’s crazy a president secretly yelled at Netanyahu and didn’t do shit after and it leaked. First time for everything

a demonic mask wearing raksasha for Dark Devilry #shadowdark #osr

Holy shit lol dark George Lucas was fucking cooking so hard with this deleted scene from the Phantom Menace

Due to money reasons, I need to start running games instead of playing them at the local shop. Going to list my top candidates: DCC: Popular at the shop. Mothership: I have a bunch of modules. Traveller: Lots of modules and sandboxes. His Majesty the Worm: one megadungeon and a different vibe.

We watched this on Kanopy last night and, holy shit, the animation! youtu.be/d_Al2hDDoVQ?...

We should be two “D&D Honor Among Thieves” sequels deep.

The weird thing I keep thinking about when I watch the D&D cartoon with my oldest kid is: i need to design an rpg running it, because all the osr and later d&d derived games don’t quite fit. I suppose this is why DIE RPG exists

Some of the women also reported being targets of racist comments by medical staff, who told them they “have too many children,” they “cost the government too much,” and they should “stop having [kids],” because they are “irresponsible” and “bad parents.”

I’ve run more d&d 4th edition than I have any other version of the game. It was also the best campaign I’ve ever run.

Seems bad

i on the other hand think it is absolutely delightful that anyone reading say locked tomb in 2026 and beyond will be forced to learn about none pizza, left beef

The Vatican could have told Anthropic to stop stealing data, exploiting labor, killing the environment, deceiving us with anthropomorphic designs & lying about product "capabilities." Instead they partnered with them, like partnering with Sackler family to discuss harms of oxy.

The reskeet is satire, but it gives me an opportunity to highlight @lackingceremony.bsky.social's classic breakdown of PBTA, Simple World. It really does inspire you to get *something* built and brought to the table. buriedwithoutceremony.com/simple-world

I couldn't resist

"this piece of media has gross stuff in it" man damn that sucks, did you talk to your mom about how the parental controls aren't working

Not going to bother reading that dummy's Atlantic essay about Miller Lite but I will say that an underrated aspect of quitting drinking altogether is finding more interesting things to build a self identity around

skill issue. just do the worldbuilding/research and then not put it into the story this is not a joke. thinking out the implications but not explicitly enumerating them allows meaningful consistency without bogging your story down

going to be honest I think knife missiling the guys that run massive csam gen websites would have a deterrence effect

Great little movie

I genuinely do not see a reason not to outlaw the distribution and hosting of AI video generation

no more mass appeal

also "trans people who work in public buildings with no single-occupancy bathrooms must either out themselves in a demonstrably hostile workplace OR have nowhere to legally go" keeps getting left out of the conversation

i also am really fucking pissed off that the villains get to frame this whole thing like they aren't enacting a near total ban on participation from public life

the new goal of online fandoms seems to be getting the creator to stop loving their work

Stories of Elf World - part 1 of 2

An extremely cursed post that is made worse by the knowledge that it would look a lot like the isekai/portal fantasy story Tolkien wrote called The Lost Road, where a modern guy reads a book and wishes he knew what Numenor were like and ends up there shortly before it sinks into the ocean.

Wild that people are now reporting that the drug that makes you stop caring about food works by inducing a more general anhedonia. You basically give yourself the curse of the black pearl.

I can't believe we turned "Laptop Worker" into a term of derision. We now have the tech and business models to allow millions of people to make a living in ways unthered to a farm plot, assembly line,, or cubicle. That's very cool! Do not project your weird yearning for the mines on to me.

Playboy created a Bluesky account and their first post is to complain about AI. They already understand the Bluesky userbase better than the bluesky devs

Hey internet! You know how you love to be mad? Well now is a great time to put that skill to use and contact the FCC.

Reminder that if you block someone on bsky, it doesn’t unfollow them for you. Your friends may not be truly following him (and you may not have spared yourself the wrath of people unfollowing anyone who appears to follow him). Unblock, unfollow, block. He’s a weasel.

Yep my brain is gigantic compared to the brains of the stupid racists whining about low (white) birth rates while trying to dump immigrants in the ocean

Thanks to the Council of Disnecaea, this canon is fully operational

@riseupcomus.bsky.social Say, the divination board preorder doesn't seem to be working. Either that, or the preorders got sold out in under half an hour.

would give anything for an end to the domination of tedious historical costume design
