Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.

tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

Snow hits differently when your partner drives a plow.

Wow. Just finished Ann Leckie's Raven Tower. I was unsure of it at first, but then it got so good.

A moment of silence for the last box of pre-new recipe Annie's shells I ate yesterday. I'll miss them.

I think the shortest version of why LLMs are an anti education technology is that education is fundamentally about making shared context to understand ourselves, each other, and the world

And by design LLMs destroy shared context

Dear Google,

Stop suggesting your AI nonsense to me. I do not want it. I have never wanted it, and never will. The suggestions are disruptive and enraging and make me want to never use your services again. Just because you sunk your fortunes into AI slop doesn't mean we have to use it.

Love,
Us.

If we had to hear “Baby Shark” everywhere we went for two whole months out of the year we’d throw a fit, right?

And rightfully so.

So tell me, why do we put up with it when the song is “Frosty the Snowman”?

Incredible to see our Dem leaders pass a resolution condemning socialism while our greatest socialist mayor hasn't even been sworn in and has already gotten the president to admit to being a fascist

I think the sequels to the original Rayman actually detracted from the amazing creativity of the first.

Am I one of the lonely few who thinks the original #Rayman game is the best by far? Like, I don't even think the others are comparable.

#DesertBus tech test! :D

Playing through #Silksong again and... I think it's actually easier than #HollowKnight.

hiromu arakawa the woman that you are

I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

This is fantastic.

It is much bigger than one election in NYC.

And now, my favorite #Silksong bosses: 5. Lace; 4. TROBBIO! (normal and tormented) 3. Karmelita; 2. Lost Lace; 1. First Sinner. Honorable mentions: Widow, Phantom, GMS, Nyleth.

#Insomnia thoughts/ranking of my least favorite #Silksong bosses: 5. Palestag; 4. Savage Beastfly II; 3. Lost Garmond; 2. Sister Splinter; 1. Shakra. Some of those may be controversial, others are accepted objective fact. I actually didn't mind Groal.

Finished #Silksong, 100%. Loved it more than #HollowKnight. Very hard, but... not harder than Hollow Knight? I believe we may have collectively forgotten how hard Hollow Knight was when it first came out.

I had forgotten how addictive the initial exploration of #HollowKnight was. #Silksong, I think, exceeds the original in that regard.

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

Bad lessons #NineSols taught me for playing #Silksong: no contact damage. Oof.

How Zohran Mamdani Achieved Escape Velocity from Politics as Usual An optimistic, disciplined Left can draw centrists into the coalition—by rejecting their politics.

Zohran Mamdani’s NYC mayoral campaign shows how Left-led coalitions can expand the electorate and bring in centrists without adopting centrist politics.

On the Power of Small Acts of Noncompliance At a moment when large-scale resistance can feel futile,
there are other ways to oppose, engage, and fight back.

This article is everything we need right now. Acts of resistance matter and they add up, no matter how small they feel.

“It might be that all we can do right now is to harass and document ICE’s goons as they try to kidnap and abduct people from our block, or courthouse, or house of worship.” 1/3

In honor of the imminent #Silksong, I decided to finally beat the Radiance. Not nearly as difficult as I remember it being when I initially played #HollowKnight and said "Nah, I don't feel the need to beat her."

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

- Appreciate Newsom Fighting Fire w/ Fire

- Appreciate Pritzker Standing Up for Texas Dems

- Appreciate Mamdani Bringing Fresh Hope to the Party

- Appreciate AOC and Bernie Taking On the Oligarchs

We need ALL of these voices now!

Let's worry about 2028 after we secure OUR VOTE and DEMOCRACY.

As a child, Sameth in #Lirael annoyed me because he kept failing. As an adult with anxiety, I keenly identify with him now.

Silksong... it's real?
