I'm a mom, a book fanatic, life-long martial artist, and a Dragon Age dev fan (all the way back to when some of them were making BG1). I've also spent far too much time as a social media researcher. (She/Her)

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

Finished Greedfall!

This was seriously a really good game. I enjoyed it so lot & the fact that I only paid $7 for it makes it even better! I'm really happy I played this just before the next one comes out, lucky timing I'll be getting that one too! I'd rate this game a solid 8/10

Here's some pics!

OpenAI strikes deal with Pentagon after Trump orders government to stop using Anthropic On X, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said he had moved to label Anthropic as a "supply chain risk" and cancel Defense business with the company.

One way to read the AI/Pentagon news from last night (I covered it but didn't skeet) is that the Department of Defense wants AI to automate weapons and/or spy on Americans and that Anthropic would have the best AI to do that, but OpenAI is at least the second-best so they'll just use that instead.

Lucanis looks off in the distance and asks himself, for the first time, if there is more to life than fulfilling contacts. I see a younger, pensive Lucanis in @oddenna.bsky.social 's evocative work. He bears a countenance tinged with ennui. He has tasted earthly glory, and yet, is left wanting.

Billionaire fugitive Roger Ver — nicknamed “Bitcoin Jesus” — was facing federal criminal charges for tax evasion in one of the largest crypto tax fraud cases ever.

That was, until he sought the services of a select club of Trump’s former personal attorneys who have easy access to DOJ appointees.

Your words are vile.

Before you even posted this, it was verified that at least 85 school girls were slaughtered by bombs we dropped in conjunction w/ Israel.

Who's taking "more lives"?
Who's slaughtering children?

Today, it's us.

Growing more complex by the day: How should journalists govern use of AI in their products? Like so many sectors of the economy, the news industry is hurtling toward a future where artificial intelligence plays a major role — grappling with questions about how much the technology is used, wh...

Here's my answer to the question in the headline: they should govern it...by not resorting to it. By sidestepping its use. By going on without it. By. Not. Using it. AI can be manipulated and you can be fed falsehoods and you could spread them to millions of people before you realize. Don't use it.

After sexual violence, it's victims who get punished the most. Victims who lose their jobs and have to leave their industries. Victims who lose their friends and support systems. Victims who lose their health and sanity. Perpetrators might lie low, sometimes, before being handed it all back.

Company Helps Men Scrub Negative Posts About Them from Tea App “We just want to take down posts about people who are being defamed," the company's founder said. “And when I say defamed, it means like, ‘this guy has a small penis,’ or ‘this guy smells.’"

The service is another escalation in the age of online dating, women attempting to protect each other from other men in the dating pool, and instances of men fighting against those efforts.

Her husband wanted to use ChatGPT to create sustainable housing. Then it took over his life. Kate Fox says Joe Ceccanti was the ‘most hopeful person’ before he started spending 12 hours a day with a chatbot

“It’s difficult to understand the scale of the problem, but OpenAI itself estimates that more than a million people every week show suicidal intent when chatting with ChatGPT.”

The artwork is divided in 3 horizontal sections, each dedicated to one of the characters, drawn with clean lines and simple flat colours. The horizontal sections are enclosed in a gold, ornate frame with a rococo vibe, featuring animal decorations to recall the characters' pets: Trinket the bear, Sprinkle the ferret and Flora the horse.

Illario Dellamorte is such a joy to play. He radiates charisma and unbridled self-esteem, at least on the surface. But what makes him compelling is that he’s beautifully flawed. That hunger for attention? It doesn’t come from arrogance. It comes from fear. The fear of not being chosen. I relate to that more than people might expect. I was a late bloomer. I felt like the black sheep culturally, physically, mentally. That quiet yearning to belong… to be recognized… to matter. For Illario, that wound goes all the way back to Caterina. Lucanis was always the favored one. No matter what Illario does, it never quite feels like enough. And when you grow up in someone else’s shadow, you learn two things: How to sharpen yourself. And how to demand the spotlight. 

He inherited Caterina’s cunning. Her wit. Her ambition. But he also inherited the pressure. He loves his family. He loves the Crows. He just wants acknowledgement. Is he fully self-aware of it? Sometimes. In the quiet moments, alone in his chambers, he feels that push and pull. The tension between who he is and who he thinks he must be. But he also lives in the moment. And that’s what I love most about him. That fearless confidence. That belief that he will succeed, even when the world pushes back. He leads with charm. With heart. Sex appeal. Charisma. That in itself is such a joy to embody. 

He fills his own cup, because no one ever did it for him. That’s another thing I admire. He puts himself first. That’s something that we should all take note of. Before you can help others, fill your cup up first and let what overflows be the thing that fills everyone else’s cups. When I first was crafting my interpretation of Illario, Thor and Loki came to mind. Two powerful forces. One favored. One overlooked. Loki isn’t evil, he’s reactive. Passionate. Brilliant and wounded. That’s Illario. He may make questionable choices, but he isn’t a villain in his own story. He’s a man driven by passion, and sometimes passion outruns…
