It's Time to Rage Against the AI Music Machine If AI music takes over "humans will begin to echo the machines, and there will be a downward spiral into slop."

"In 1999, I interviewed Prince for TIME and he told me to leave my tape recorder off because he didn’t trust what future technology might do with unauthorized recordings of his voice.

At the time, I thought Prince was being paranoid..."

Obviously, no one is actually trying to force you to drink a lib-coded pumpkin-spiced transgender coffee. But, in the UK at least, most places don't have filter coffee or "black coffee" on the menu. So they will ask you if you want an Americano. I guess it's more of a stretch in the USA?

Yes, this is a serious post, but it does immediately conjure images of a lot of you buying your cats flowers for valentine's day...

I have this plush. It's a top tier plush

User: Why are you staring at me like that?

Me: You took the PDF that had several digital signature fields, printed it out, filled it out, scanned it back in, and now you want other people to digitally sign it, and you don't know why I'm staring at you?

User: Not really, no.

Me: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻┻

just found out the puppy bowl (12mil) got twice as many viewers as the tpusa halftime show (6mil) and im extremely disappointed at how few viewers that is. the puppy bowl deserved better.

If you've ever been swimming in a large body of water, you're familiar with the unpleasant sensation of leaving weightlessness as you heave yourself back on land. For a few seconds, gravity feels twice as heavy. Your whole body feels cold and useless. Depression is that feeling inside and out 24/7

That the illegal destruction of USAID will kill more than *20 million people* in the next five years, & has ALREADY KILLED 600,000 in just one year, is a world-historical crime that Americans aren't being told about in the terms & with the repetition necessary for them to believe it.

Four frame comic. First frame shows a Canadian flag. Text reads : the new canadian citizenship policy, which was enacted in December 2025, restores citizenship by descent, for ancestors as far as you can prove. 2nd frame shows a locomotive. Text reads : that means that if one of your grandparents, great-grand- parents or even farther was demonstrably born in Canada, you don't even need to apply for citizenship - you are retro- actively granted it. Third frame shows an old dusty register book. Text reads : the process involves linking your CanadA-born ancestor to yourself by digging up a paper trail of birth or wedding certificates, proof of immigration or adoption, etc. thanks to Canadian archive- keeping traditions, this is possible by reaching out to towns, parishes, national archives*... Fourth frame shows old factory chimneys. Text reads : between 1840 and 1930, 925 000 French-Canadians fled persecution and economic oppression by moving to the usa. today, their descendants represent around ten million people, or 3% of the U.s. population. if it's time for you to come back, we haven't forgotten about you.

I'm not saying that Canada is perfect, I'm saying that the bar is pretty low right now.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

We've been really looking forward to Relooted since @timstatis.blacksky.app played the demo at last year's Summer Game Fest.
Congrats @nyamakop.co.za on the release!

GOBLIN WITH A FAT ASS by Tom Bloom please don't let this become my most popular project

I see you've discovered the greatest TTRPG of all time, Goblin with a Fat Ass

A drawing of a ogre with drooping ears and tusks, hunched over and crying while holding Ulysses. The Ogre says: Everyone call Ogre STUPID and it TRUE! Ogre barely even Literate! Ogre finally finished reading ULYSSES, but Ogre only can identify surface level themes like Religion and Nationalism and can’t comprehend deeper ideas like the “Remorse of Conscience” that make James Joyce’s novel a Modernist Classic! Ogre so dumb, it make Ogre sad! At this rate, Ogre will never understand Finnegans Wake!

With that said I have a lot of amazing follows and mutuals who are TTRPG designers and I feel like the Ulysses Ogre sometimes

This character has been completely ruined for me because of that one asshole obsessed with twitter For The Man! @BlackYoshiSunRX • 1d "Char, as a military dictator, is one of the most political characters in the OG series." x.com/

I am so glad I ruined this character for the worst people on the planet (including the “Gundam is not political” dorks)

The footage of Australian police acting like ICE agents is pretty shocking, but the media broadly stepping up to downplay, deny and mis-describe their violence in ambiguous terms is completely unsurprising.

It's an industry fundamentally incapable of ever assigning any blame to the police: ever

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.

Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

But the other piece of evidence -- the point of this thread -- is that we now have an example of what it looks like when US political & corporate elites *really are* obsessed with and committed to something.

Namely: AI.

Ngl, this goes pretty hard.

Revealed: How Substack makes money from hosting Nazi newsletters Exclusive: Site takes a cut of subscriptions to content that promotes far-right ideology, white supremacy and antisemitism

It is super weird whenever someone sets up a new Substack and I can't say I have regrets about ditching the platform at all

Mine almost resembles the galaxy one with how many times its slipped and fell chipping the paint. Hers are much prettier though. I want one when I have more money. And a matching kneee brace to go along with.

The Fleshlight was designed by Steve Shubin, whose 1997 patent filing for a "device for discreet sperm collection" was- granted in July 1998. Shubin was a linebacker on his college football team, then went to the police academy and worked on the SWAT team in Los Angeles County for about Six years. "I've killed people before. I've done everything. I have choked hundreds of people unconscious" he said, calling the police force his favorite job. Dissatisfied with the pay, he then ran his own power washing company in Los Angeles. In 1995, he filed a patent for a sex doll torso and eventually pivoted to the Fleshlight.

ACAB includes the guy who invented the Fleshlight
