Sci-fi that deals with questions of artificial consciousness is interesting because it's pushing us to think about what it means to be human. It functions as a metaphorical mirror.

Being shocked by a computer programmed to play pretend reflects on us too, but not in a particularly flattering way

Post a Mage!

I’m no expert, but I feel like even in the absence of an internal reason he still makes decisions that make him align with “he.” (Like, he steals that dudes clothes but never considers a dress; which is almost certainly for infiltration reasons but I think it counts as gender expression.)

He just like me fr fr

Some days make me wish I still believed in hell.

I can’t imagine presenting anything Elon Musk says as realistic or factual. The man is the world’s most famous liar.

Really don’t like the roaring, raging return of acceptable-for-progressives homophobia

GLORY TO THE TZEENTCHIAN WAR TWINK!

Eh, the Eldar wings are silly but otherwise the sculpts look cool.

Wait are the red Cmarines their own army? Weird.

Gonna live post the preview show cuz im bored in my lunch break.

So far just 40k. New Eldar stuff looks neat, I continue to bounce off marine aesthetics. Space Seraphon is cool.

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.

The eroding of art as a consequence of wholly mundane incentives and carelessness, not some grand conspiracy or even passionate rebuttal, feels like a very *of the moment* thing to understand. A masterclass from Olson (per usual).

I’ve always loved the idea of Grotbag Scuttlers, so the chance to make a few for the KO regiment of renown was too good to pass up:

Three age of Sigmar models, two large maw gruntas in various states of being painted and a small Ardboy in front.

Slow pig progress. (Ardboy for reference haha) My goal in the next couple months is to have all my regiment of renowns painted so I feel less bad slamming them into otherwise fully painted lists lol.

Every time I saw one of those Last War ads staring Anthony Starr (at the height of his career! The Boys is still running!) it made me wonder what kind of mafia debt he must be under the thumb of.

Listen, I know the cards are probably stacked towards Total War: 40K, but god I’d kill for TW: AoS instead.

Three characters with narratives about doing the right thing even when it’s complicated, and Chronos purely on style points 😅

I know we’re all nostalgic for vine, but it feels like everyone is ignoring all the crypto language/architecture built into Dorsey’s new gambit. Like it runs in Nostr. Feels more like they’re just using the vine backlog to push a crypto scheme imo.

Absolutely lost my mind at this whole song. What incredible artistry on display. The zoom out from the tower explosion at the start 😳

Pratchett, his whole bibliography, is most of the reason I am the person I am.

Specifically the first book of his I read was The Fifth Elephant, a weird place to start but still one of my favorites.

Still haven’t read The Shepherd’s Crown, don’t know if I’ll ever be ready.

This exactly. I’d love a world where everyone was on board with social welfare because it’s morally good, but I’ll take a world where even the self-interested money ghouls recognize that social welfare benefits them.

It’s genuinely harrowing how much gambling addition has become a part of normal every day life.

I keep getting ads for Kalshi or whatever it’s called (the one that’s all about betting on irl outcomes) that are just the most blatant “actually you’re super smart and maybe even morally superior for putting money on a 1:1,000,000 bet.”

I can’t believe it happened again but dumber. Just the same people falling for the same bit but without even the illusion of a huge payout. Buck Wild.
