I don't recall off hand who made the point about AI being, more than anything else, a machine for displacing responsibility. That increasingly looks like its most reliable feature

If you wear one of these on your back, please be mindful of the fact that every time you back up or turn suddenly, these damn things turn into weapons. Thanks.

spotify pays millions to transphobic anti-vaxxer Joe Rogan and so my production company pulled all our podcasts off the service years ago and never looked back they “pay” fractions of pennies to every musician there too consider finding a better service shouldn’t be hard when the bar’s this low!

"When the city seems to be throwing all kinds of confusing omens and symbols your way, why not turn to a little divination to see what the city is really trying to tell you?"

Happy v1.0 release date for Hades 2! High time I update my dumb little meme to include SOME of the extremely hot and amazing characters you can meet in Hades II. Time to take things into your own hands ;) (added the adult tag as spoiler tag for the Hades II characters you might not have seen yet)

i've been replaying a little bit of baldur's gate 3 and it's crazy how good this game is. imagine how great it could be if they had used an actually good ruleset, like 4th edition

I’ve been in Seattle for three days and this is the first day it’s delivered on its reputation

me in my 20s: 1-2 hours of exercise every day? 150 minutes a week? When the hell am I supposed to find time for that?? me in my 40s: I AM A BEAUTIFUL SHARK, AN OBLIGATE RAM VENTILATOR, AND IF I DON'T LIFT HEAVY AND WALK HARD I SHALL PERISH

In general I think Americans do the "greatest in the world" thing too much and it sounds extra silly if you've actually seen the world, but one place where I think it is objectively true are the cities. US cities are some of the greatest in the world. And NYC is the crown jewel of US cities

Telling me "the subway is so dangerous now" is my immediate sign that you need your TV taken away and your news algorithm adjusted www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/the-subway...?

“Bustin’ makes me feel good”

we were all hopin for papabillys when we should have been lookin for papabobbys i guess

no one gets me like bilbo baggins when he said he felt thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread. go off king!!!

You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.

Your nostalgia for HP does not and never will be more important than trans lives, safety and welfare. Get rid of the media, stop buying the merch and don't support new things cause it just lines that hateful transphobes pockets so she can continue to use her wealth for evil.

val and I have been watching Frieren and I think it's safe to say we love it a lot. I relate to Fern a lot and val relates to Frieren and I think we're both okay with that 😆 also the way both of Frieren's OPs unlock the fattest serotonin drip in my brain 👌🎶

[blearily to my husband while waking to the sound of hairballs] if our pets were in the Great Catsby would one of them go around saying Old Splort

me watching The Bear: noooo too much anxiety too scary OH GOD OH GOD THE HEALTH INSPECTOR me watching The Pitt: Ahhhh. Yes. Near-constant absolute panic and horrific gore in the ER. Yes, yes, this feels like home. Ooh, rats!

Wonderwall but only the original sung by Oasis. I have heard covers that actually make it sound good. If it's the original song though, it can fuck right off into the sun. I have nothing against rock ballads but this one is whiny, boring and uninspired. Instant turn off.

amazon dot com should not be a predatory, union-busting, sweatshop labor monopoly site, amazon dot com should be a site where you find strong women to consensually hurt you

10 comfort bands/artists Rage Against the Machine Killswitch Engage Foo Fighters Darren Korb Masayoshi Soken Waveshaper The Warning BTS Dreamcatcher Aimer Narrowing down 10 was hard, music has been a huge part in keeping my mental health afloat this year.

Lost Stars by Claudia Gray Wraith Squadron by Aaron Allston (RIP) Rogue Squadron by @michaelastackpole.bsky.social Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter by Michael Reaves (RIP) Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade by @delilahsdawson.bsky.social Very hard to choose just one, so I went with five 😅

Finally got my Girl Scout cookie fix this season by buying a few boxes of Samoas from a local troop. One of the scouts was very shy but very sweet and wore a "she/they" pin on her sash and I would fight God for them.

Figures the day the next big Hades II EA update drops, I have to actually physically show up to work 🤬

men writing erotica: John was attending Sex University, where all of the students and teachers are horny for sex women writing erotica: John was attending Sex University, where sex is strictly forbidden… yet John yearns for his fellow student Douglas, who is also a secret monster man

Also helpful…

Spotify has sensed I've stopped using it so I get emails like this now and the AI use is readily apparent. To my knowledge I've never listened to Moroccan workout music so I'm not really sure where this is coming from except some terrible AI algorithm🤷

we all know this classic way

This year, I want to make a conscious effort to not support companies that give money to fascists. So we're in the process of dropping Spotify and moving to Deezer. Hasn't been perfect but at least I feel a little better about where I get my music from.

Our very spoiled tortie kitty will sometimes just *YELL* at me for a solid 5-6 seconds straight. I like to imagine that she styles herself a mini-Bene Gesserit and is trying to use THE VOICE to compel me to feed her faster. "YOU WILL FEED ME NOW" "SCOOP THE FOOD INTO THE BOWL"

The trick to being effortlessly charming is as simple as "be George Clooney", you heard it here first anyway happy new year all, hope we all continue to fight and persevere in 2025

Steam, one of these things is not like the other...

All right Spotify, I'm pickin' up what you're puttin' down 🏃👟

Stop Forcing A.I. into Fucking EVERYTHING!

This is me, I'm so glad astrology gets me. 🤠

Some of these Lays flavors are… something 😂 I am so intrigued by “roasted artificial chicken” 🤔

According to my Storygraph, I read 26 books this year, which is a lot for me 😅 Some of them were non-fiction, but a majority of them were fiction. Not gonna review all of those because quite frankly a few of them were utter garbage but there are a number of them I really enjoyed!

cats will scream at bathroom doors instead of just going to therapy 🙄

A while ago, I made this meme after reading a book about the history of Project OXCART and the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird

I am in line for the pharmacy in Costco and there is a small child absolutely hacking up a lung and touching everything within reach. Her parents are doing nothing to curb this behavior. This is fine.

Now that I've 100%'d Balatro, I've turned my attention to Slay the Spire as my next time sink card game... I feel like I'm in for a bad time... 😅

I was out of the office for five business days and I'm still trying to play catch up with my emails. 🥴

Finally managed to catch the last Legendary Joker I was missing and actually finish a run so now I can never play Balatro again 😆

You're truly an adult when you base all of your decisions on how tired you're likely to be in any given situation.

I can’t handle getting yelled at in video games #ffxiv #art
