I still love how you get told China hiring a thousand people to build a bridge that maybe won't get used much is fake GDP, but the US firing a thousand people to increase stock values is real GDP...

War Dog's Leash: sci-fi induced plurality where a character's mind is digitized and placed in a neural implant to serve as a handler for a feral super soldier.

Back Flow: a cozy soft sci-fi short where a VR glitch causes our protagonist to accidentally download an anime girl into their brain.

The Harem Protagonist Was Turned Into A Girl!! And Doesn't Want To Change Back!!??: includes an alien cat girl who is plural in a more regular way, though has access to advanced technology that helps them manage their system.

Blessing of Salmakis: a modern setting gender-bender story where the Greek deity Hermaphroditus causes problems... but it turns out a lot of it is Salmakis, who continued to exist as a headmate after their mythical fusion.

A reminder that we've got a few stories trans with plural positivity. All include at least some wlw content too.

Tis Time For Torture, Princess cover art with the chaotic cast.

A happy princess who just got some snacks.

Been encountering lots of princess girl stuff of late, so a reminder about this show for all the overworked princesses:

the only thing AI has done for me is make me stop watching short videos because of my paranoia and now it’s actually easier to work. I can stay focused much longer without constantly switching to other things.

That is, like, tumblr levels of jank.

this website is built out of duct tape and spit???
we all know AI rots your brain but how can you get so high on the vibecoding fumes that you think it's acceptable to operate a site in such a way that a user can completely break your moderation backend by blocking a profile???

Why ‪@why.bsky.team‬ Until December of last year I was using LLMs as fancy autocomplete for coding. It was nice for scaffolding out boilerplate, or giving me a gut check on some things, or banging out some boring routine stuff. In the past two months Claude has written about 99% of my code. Things are changing. Fast

in case you ever wondered why bsky breaks all the fuckin time and is increasingly a pile of jank

I'm calling it--the use of generative AI is antiblack. Internationally. Multiple countries. Multiple coasts. If you fire it up--I judge you.

SimCity 2000 for N64, released exclusively in Japan.

Simcity 2000 on N64 is definitely one of its more interesting ports. Handled by Genki (mostly known for making racing games and the cult classic N64 fighting game "Fighter's Destiny"), they decided to make this version distinct by adding a science fiction storyline and a bunch of minigames.

I do think sometimes talking to computer people about an issue you have is like if you said to someone you hope a manga will get a translation and they said 'oh, just learn Japanese'.

So... plural transfem serial killer? The even more specific stereotype?

[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.] From off-screen a newsreader’s commentary comes: NEWSREADER: Extraordinary images here of an expat in Dubai [The influencer’s eybrows raise slightly] …Having their first ever geopolitical thought. [CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencer’s face. The interviewee’s name is David Jones]. CLIVE MYRIE: To explain the significance of this moment we’re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent DAVID JONES: Clive, this is momentous It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: ‘Dubai Is Brilliant’. [Pointing at the screen, the influencer’s expression still the same] You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self. It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expat’s previous thoughts. CLIVE MYRIE: Which are…? DAVID JONES: You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes, I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa. CLIVE MYRIE: And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days? DAVID JONES: I think we can expect to see: “I Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To” CLIVE MYRIE: Mmm. [Ends]

PM Carney needs to come back to Canada and make his case for supporting Trump and Netanyahu to the Canadian people.
He is not a CEO. He is our democratically-elected representative. In this moment of global crisis he must explain his position and take direction from the people.

Photo of a half empty tube of Diclofenac and Socomycin and a few pill sheets. I don't know what they are called in English or what they are used for sorry.

This is not surprising because the aim to deport "home-grown" British ethnics was a significant underpinning of the Brexit vote.

We know this because people were happy to tell you about it.

M is for maybe this starts with an m N is for next letter, and that one's an n E is for easy, like spelling this word M is for magpie, the stealingest bird O is for only three more letters to go N is for nearly there, you mnemonic pro I is for imminent, this poem's end C is for congratulations, my spellingwell friend

I get really frustrated with the way people talk about obvious Nazis as "gender critical" without mentioning the "goose stepping leather trenchcoat motherfucker" bit
