Resolute

There is an actual argument that this curse actually worked.

Star Trek Picard scene. An older Worf is shown, white eyebrows and goatee. There's a 'Mr. Worf Goes to a Rave' feel, with what looks like confetti dropping over him, blacklighting, and abstract art on the walls behind him, presumably drawn in Tide. Closed caption reads, "Beheadings are on Wednesdays."

you know, laying off staff in the middle of a war zone while enduring a ukraine winter without power makes laying off ppl during the holidays look downright humanitarian.

billionaires shouldn’t exist.

Me, tired, tapping the sign

See also, "uppity" "attitude" "difficult to work with" etc.

if you still have a pinterest account, today's a good day to delete it!!

Finally got around to uploading the Reborn series to Itch - now you can pick up all eight of my novels there! jfrcoates.itch.io

Still can't believe the latest Epstein Files release just casually confirmed the anti-SJW movement was planned by pedophiles.

"The entire reactionary anti-woke backlash was masterminded by child traffickers" is the kinda shit I'd say as hyperbolic agitprop, but it was true the whole time.

The problem is, too many people will use "just asking questions" as a pretense. I'm not saying you're doing that, mind, just a general observation.

I don't want to get into an argument, though, foremost because social media is an absolutely terrible medium to actually discuss things.

They thought themselves "redpilled" but were swallowing the blue pill the whole time simply because their pedophile masters convinced them red is blue and blue is red. They styled themselves as Neo while actually being Cypher, embracing the illusion of their Matrix.

Another person of culture! I've been saying they're Cypher for a while—they want the illusion of a world that never was, with a scrap of power, and they'll nearly destroy everything and everyone to get it.

This is exactly what I've been saying for years.

There's a difference between machine learning and large language models, though, and lumping them both under "AI" is horrifically disingenuous.

New tech is fine, but it needs to be adopted responsibly and ethically. The "AI" craze is, currently, neither.

“Although you have been gone a long time, I still love you all the same. I feel your presence through memories. I hold you close in my heart when I feel alone, and turn my gaze to the stars when I can’t find you. You are in the wind and rain, and the warmth of the sun on my face.”

grief is truly the most challenging emotional landscape to navigate

Salandits are kobolds.

Salazzle is sex lizard.

Nah.

quote from Haruki Murakami: “I keep to this routine every day without variation. The repetition itself becomes the important thing; it’s a form of mesmerism. I mesmerize myself to reach a deeper state of mind. “But to hold to such repetition for so long—six months to a year—requires a good amount of mental and physical strength. In that sense, writing a long novel is like survival training. Physical strength is as necessary as artistic sensitivity.”

Not pictured: Haruki Murakami’s wife, or indeed whoever is cooking, cleaning, paying bills, running errands, doing the laundry, answering emails, etc

like yea his routine is goals, but let’s not lie to ourselves about all the invisible work others are doing to enable him to have that routine

The fuck I don't, Sam-I-Am.
I do not like AI slop spam.

I do not like it in my life.
I do not like it as a wife.
I do not like it here or there.
I do not want it anywhere.

(... he accidentally tries it...)

Say! I like AI slop even less!
I think it makes the Internet a mess!
Piss off, Sam-I-Am!

This applies to my Patreon too: do NOT sub from the Patreon app.
You pay MORE and I get LESS of it.
Apple and Patreon are screwing us up big time, and forcing me to switch to a different billing method that I DO NOT want to use.
A day doesn’t pass that I don’t wish I could move my Guild off Patreon🥲

This whole thread.
Writing has always been a crazy way to make a living, but it's even crazier these days. It feels weird for everyone who has to flog a book and story while the world burns, but a lot of us still scramble to pay the rent.

I've seen increasing resentment of AI being forced on them from even amateur photographers, so it's a bit disingenuous to say *nobody* is arguing it.

Especially when there's no longer dry to wet and the wet won't dry, so the loop is now stuck.

Want to re-emphasize what this bill does. It implements a $1,000 bounty for anyone to sue someone they suspect is trans and using the bathroom.

It isn't a broken record if the section is just a constant repeat.

Every single artist that posts on BlueSky should have this saved to their computer because so many of you are posting character torsos all day.

(created by @/whey.party)

To the person that commented “turtles aren’t gay” on my Pride Turtle art:

One of the world’s oldest animals is a 193 year old gay tortoise that has been having gay sex with another gay tortoise since 1991.

Kick rocks, bitch!
