The nurse at infusion today was very nice, but the IV hurt enough to make me nauseated (unusual, I thought he blew a vein), and I can't say the side effects have been ideal either. So I'm using "too much pain to sleep" for "apology for not being around"

Ahhhhh (fair point)

I think what's struck so many people about the White House CoD meme--or at least what struck me--is how, unlike Pokemon or Halo, there's way this one, in a fucked-up way, makes "sense," which says as much about games as it does about the 12-year-olds in our government.

This might be the worst one actually

Stylized digital illustration of Mulder and Scully from the X Files turning to look at camera at something, flashlights in hand. A UFO is flying by overhead, highlighted by an X in the sky. There are other X shape motifs in the shape of the flashlight beams nd the tree bark.

Do you want to believe?

Guess who's been rewatching the X Files~

Considering that Claude was *just* used to commit atrocities, I think we need a moratorium on a) asking it about that and posting it for some reason??? b) using the war crimes machine, ever, at all

I’m one of the people sentona was interviewing to replace Stella, and I’m beyond grateful that she had the courage to come forward and save me and others from having the same grift pulled on them

It makes me so angry I get lightheaded

I keep thinking about that South Korean politician who climbed over a wall to stop a dictator who wanted blood in the streets, and then about the majority of OUR politicians, continually volunteering to hand one every weapon conceivable to do the same

Better Off Ted warned us about our current tech environment in so many ways, but perhaps none more on the nose than

Ever so slight reminder that a ton of the industry uses Unreal. And Epic is partially owned by Tencent.

Not the salient point but I hate that I understand this sentence

Every post I see about AI makes me think of this video from @eleanormorton.bsky.social "I don't think AI is useful for that company. Well, you'd be right! But we're doing it anyway." www.youtube.com/shorts/hL9pl...

Digital artwork of the three new starter pokémon: Pombon, Gecqua and Browt. Pombon is an orange pomeranian; Gecqua is a blue leopard gecko; Browt is a green bird that looks like he came from angry birds. They're all in a big pile, with Pombon sitting on top of Browt, and Gecqua perched on Pombon's head.

A big pile of babies

To be fair, who among us hasn't made plans that snuck up on us unexpectedly, leaving hundreds of people entrusted to our care stranded overseas as bombs rain down on 10 countries, closing airports and sending energy prices soaring worldwide, and instantly destroying billions in market value?

OPENING THESE BACK UP again for some emergency funds! If you are okay with waiting, I could really use some help this month as my paycheck was lost in the mail and I only get paid monthly from my job. I'm sat in limbo several hundred short because of this while I wait for a replacement.

From A Girl Like Me: a very serious, troubled older man in high-status ancient Chinese military officer's armor. Subtitle from speaker offscreen: "Do you want to hold a candle for the devil?"

Apparently this is an actual obsolete English expression I'd never heard. Kind of a banger, spoken to a character defending an obvious villain just because he thinks it's his righteous duty to uphold the status quo. You should not, in fact, hold a candle for the devil.

From A Girl Like Me: night scene, a serious looking young man in Chinese period robes, looking less than cheery. Just barely on screen but not in focus is a young woman. Subtitle: "The stupid life we spent here sucks."

Still thinking about this translation from a Chinese period drama (the speaker is a princess)

And hey if you put a photographer's (or artist obviously) work through AI, DON'T we will not forgive you

Dang, casually assumed it had just been over-edited, but should have caught it. Feathers look strange, light is flattened unnaturally even for a gray day, the bokeh looks odd. Forever grateful for people watching like hawks AND posting reasons/comparisons.
