Thei wante us talkinge alone on our phones to a demon thei created, and not goinge places and being wyth each othir yn art and joy and communitye. Thei want cinemas to shut downe, and broadwaye to go darke. Thei want wryteres to stop writinge. Thei want to sell us hell and have us pay for it.

I've seen suggestions it was in cool, damp barrels, quite tightly packed

Much as we might transport crabs or langoustines today, fresh from Scotland to the markets of France

What kind of content would you like me to create? Because that last sentence has me ready to show up - any museum, any place 🖼☕️

It's nice to hear of people being okay, when the news from Aotearoa looked so scary overnight. Thanks George 💚

Good morning. We are open. 📖☕️

That feeling when I agree with a post, pop over to the poster's account to follow them, and I'm immediately confronted with a genAI pic ☹️

Such a difficult question to answer… I normally go with ‘Wildlife Artist’, but it would be nice to be able to just describe your art with images and no words

Presumably by 'culturally coherent' she means white racists

Salmon clear last Klamath dams, reaching Williamson and Sprague rivers Just a year after four dams were removed, a group of fall Chinook have migrated nearly 300 miles into the Upper Klamath Basin.

‘“A hundred and fifteen years that they haven’t been here, and they still have that GPS unit inside of them,” said the visibly giddy Klamath Tribal Chair William Ray, Jr. “It’s truly an awesome feat if you think about the gauntlet they had to go through.”’

Still love this piece. All the duckies🦆☄️

Repost of a tweet about art of the BG3 character Halsin. The pic show two cute hand drawn cartoon ducks

I wrote a post way back asking someone (anyone) to draw biker Halson with Astarion riding pillion (#hotwife)

Can't find the post, but I did find this one. Remember the meteor pic? 💚

I love that one. It feels so good to say it out loud

Lego figurines of Lord of the Rings characters Merry and Pippin have found a structure that resembles Sauron's Eye deep in the foundations of lego Rivendell

the endpoint of chatgpt and other llm chatbot interfaces is a cohort of people who don't really live so much as they are on a sort of guided tour of their own lives, who have more or less totally abdicated agency and responsibility in favor of a step by step template of how to pretend to be a person

The odd but convincing feeling that I may already know everyone who's going to pre-order this

What a Christmas treat it's going to be!

Which poem?

Me too 🔥

Phew. Sorry, I've had a day! Just sitting down for a few minutes 😮

I met so many fundamentally compatible interactive personalities* through forums back in the day. Still in contact with some in rl

Knew my partner before we gamed together online, but that was what cemented the relationship
