Whenever you’re feeling low just remember that maybe, like Punch the Monkey, there’s a group of aliens somewhere that are rooting for you

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

Trans rights are human rights and if one of is ain’t free then none of us are.

That or they're teaming up with a middle-aged, gay private eye to solve a murder mystery in a small but gossip-filled town.

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

AI is the β€œasbestos of the internet”

Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!

Oof, yeah... I've also had the even dumber third option: you lightly-pulled/strained a chest muscle while sleeping weird. πŸ™ƒ

Here's hoping it's not the latter, though. 😬

Unless the retreat brings the two dead innocent people back to life and frees the thousands penned up in inhumane detention camps, it does not.

Ending this operation is not enough.

We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

I gotta to write Dave Filoni to ask that the Mandalorian be allowed to dance.

Internal White House meetings going on, like, "Hopefully the racism will distract from the pedophilia which will distract from the killings which will distract from the pedophilia again which will distract from the economy which will distract from the pedophilia a third time"

Oh! That makes sense, the original screen grab I tried posting, BlueSky didn't like, and I forgot change that bit that I copy pasted, lol.

Last year, I successfully crowdfunded my new, original, all-ages, adventure comic series -- ENDLESS FANTASIA! It follows the adventures of Jack and Jill, as they travel across a world of reimagined fairytales and fight Wolf demons! Lots of Sonic and Kingdom Hearts vibes! It drops later this year!

Where does "ope" come from? If you live in Michigan, it's very likely you’ve heard someone use the word β€œope” more than once. But why do we say it and where does it come from?

Some use the word to apologize or point out something noteworthy. It's become a social media obsession among Michiganders, Wisconsinites, and Minnesotans alike.

It's crazy how succinct and informative Zohran's PSA videos are. It's like I'm watching PBS, and I walk away having learned at least one new thing about city governance. ✨

Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI' The latest GDC survey also found that managers are more likely to use generative AI than their employees.

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.

Anyone Should Have gone to get checked out immediately. I think she knew she didn't get that luxury because she has to constantly reinforce that they aren't going to drive her away. She should not be in this situation, but she is.

I have seen people express (totally reasonable) concerns about her toughness and bravery being valorized over concerns for her safety, and I think we can possibly reconcile that by acknowledging that she was taking a calculated risk, knowing she had an opportunity to make a point.

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images.

This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.
