whetstone

finally painted the dumbest 3D sculpt i’ve made to date #art

this is indicative of a level of permeation that’s deep enough to really fuck up things that are only barely tangential to “gen ai”

scary, scary shit when it fully destabilizes

They think of “urban” as synonymous with Black and that explains a good deal of the invalidation of urban spaces as “real America”

everyone in this photo, so well dressed 💗

actually now that i think about it they're also a queen of fury cover reference, aren't they?!

truly, you deserve a custom cover tie-in manicure any time you want one.

thank you for the push, i went ahead and muted that word permanently. also gonna mute "looksmaxxing"

... also murder, actually? nobody has any question that there was a lot of child rape going on, but i haven't seen any confirmed stories about killings

uhhhh i have big questions about "cannibalism" in that list

looks like the subtlest possible loki cosplay

i love them

pa coming in very strong with "respectful," too

awww i knew i liked nm

if "hugging" is a euphemism for something raunchy please don't tell me, i find that so adorable

This is what authoritarians are never gonna understand: average, everyday citizens do not like watching paramilitary thugs brutalize children. All the vaporware memes in the world can't fix that for them

NUDE ELON MUSK: The invisible clothes I'm wearing are a product of xAthleisure, which will roll out self-dressing outfits within two years at the latest

THE CREDULOUS PRESS: Fully Clothed Tesla Innovator Does It Again

Right now I have whistles designed by a man in Italy printing on a plate given to me by someone from Canada, in a filament donated from the UK, and I'm sending them to a union who wants to protect immigrants.

Just feels like an incredible team effort. 💖

It's been an extremely weird past few days, and I have more thoughts on what happened. Let's start with the news coverage. I've talked to several reporters, and quite a few news outlets have covered the story. Ars Technica wasn't one of the ones that reached out to me, but I especially thought this piece from them was interesting (since taken down - here's the archive link). They had some nice quotes from my blog post explaining what was going on. The problem is that these quotes were not written by me, never existed, and appear to be Al hallucinations themselves.

Yikes: guy who blogged about how an AI agent published a “hit piece” against him, says (human) reporters seem to have used an LLM to read (and misreport) his blog post

did not know, and first thing about him i’ve liked

i hope he is very good to them

Letterboxd screenshot Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022 Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.

i often think about this review

extremely good prophylactic against fae mischief!

It's a better message and it's also key to their terrifyingly effective strategy. Microtargeting their surrounding communities requires hiring and promoting people from those communities. Can't get the secret sauce products in if nobody knows what the locals want!

That said, again, still, please do not nominate that man to be president.

Pretty sure I would also be breaking entirely new ground on AO3.

That man certainly does not suffer from l'esprit de l'escalier. Impeccable timing and unhesitating commitment to action.

I am now considering a brief fanfic about the wreck of Elmer and Elsie's marriage, and how Elsie is now happily living in France with her lover. Cheese > glue.

lucky for you banh mi are stupefyingly delicious and it would be Perfectly Normal to become a regular

"Many a graduate student has come to grief when they discover, after a decade of being told they were “good at math,” that in fact they have no real mathematical talent and are just very good at following directions."

Don't need 100, because we're not seeing anything locally yet, but I did get a 5-pack for my friends so we're ready when and if!

Voting is an act of community service and fellowship that we perform *for each other*.

matt bomer (mentioned in the article as more handsome than the zero kid) is also close to zero for me

there's a whole category out there of "people i recognize will be perceived by other people as attractive"

so weird how tiny facial proportions shift how attractive people are. forget this actor's name, but i *do* think he's handsome; and although he looks SO MUCH like the profiled kid, the kid registers a zero for me.

I miss the time when the news did not regularly cause me to sob in the middle of the work day.
