The wizard puts a very gentle heat spell on a pillow for the little cat to sit on.

OpenAI faces 7 lawsuits claiming ChatGPT drove people to suicide, delusions OpenAI is facing seven lawsuits claiming ChatGPT drove people to suicide and harmful delusions even when they had no prior mental health issues.

Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.

The wizard reads a complex alchemical formula to the little cat, who looks nonplussed.

podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... Really very highly recommend you listen this episode of @k8lister.bsky.social's show that covers the origin of Frankestein, or rather some of the ways in which Percy Bysshe Shelley was a rotten little nepo bitch.

A group of women sitting at long banquet tables looking towards a camera in a black-and-white photo. The title says after the vote: feminist politics in LaGuardia’s New York.

I was thinking about Zohran’s transition team and today’s anti-feminist piece in the New York Times, and my mother’s book on the first generation of women to work in the city government in New York City.

EEEH!!!

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

Restored section of the Theodosian walls at the Selymbria Gate. The outer wall and the wall of the moat are visible, with a tower of the inner wall in the background.

1578 years ago, on the 6th of November 447, an earthquake hit Constantinople destroying much op its walls and 57 towers. Another quake followed next January. The presence of Attila the Hun in the Balkans prompted repairs, supported by chariot-racing factions, to be finished in 60 days. #otd 🗃️

Lists of spirit names. The first starts "These be the Spirits in common between Asmodee and Magot" and lists a bunch of names like Sartabakim and Magiros. The next list, of spirits of Astarot, contains Gromenis, Bafamal, Schelagon... and Alan.

I was just leafing through 1725 occult tome The Secret Magic of Abramelin the Mage in search of scary invocations for the BOOK, and I came across this list of subordinate spirits to the princes of Hell.

The wizard sleeps well. The little cat stalks an illusionary bug around the greenhouse, knocking over a gem.

An actual goat‬ ‪@kokorozek.satan.social‬ Amazed that in the year of our lord 2025 people are still pulling the “eyyyy c‘mon you can’t hit me, it’s my birthday! I’m the birthday boy!” ‪Ava Rose-Shirley‬ ‪@cinderelladesade.bsky.social‬ What lord? ‪Ultraviolent Lights‬ ‪@ultraviolentlights.bsky.social‬ "Year of Our Lord" is the English translation of Anno Domini, which refers to the Christian God and is not an implicit statement of faith, in common usage it's simply the designation we give to any year following 1 B.C. You can use C.E for "common era" if you prefer. Hope that clears things up. ‪Ava Rose-Shirley‬ ‪@cinderelladesade.bsky.social‬ Do you always get off on over explaining the bleeding obvious, or is today your birthday? I’m sick of people barging in and making bad faith arguments without taking half a fuckin’ second to consider the possibility that I intended to challenge all theological notions— from a humanist POV.. JFC! ‪Ultraviolent Lights‬ ‪@ultraviolentlights.bsky.social‬ Sorry, what does JFC stand for?

Someone in a Teams meeting just said “It’s the old chicken and the egg question isn’t it? Why did they cross the road?” then realised what they’d said and turned their camera off.

The wizard goes into his reagent storage room, but doesn't remember what he wanted when he came in.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are staring up at an unseen moth sitting on their ceiling. Green: Hey ceiling moth, are you going to start paying rent? Blue raises an eyebrow in doubt as the ceiling moth speaks. Ceiling moth: I already gave you my firstborn. Blue: What's that supposed to mean? Blue and Green look at each other in concern as the moth replies cheerily. Ceiling moth: Check your pantry. Opening the pantry door, Blue and Green draw back in shock and disgust as they are partially obscured by an overwhelming cloud of flour moths that pours out.

Hydrogen peroxide until foam isn't red, and cold water wash after.
