A poster with a colorful stack of books on the left and this text on the right: “Hey, Teenagers: Pay close attention to the books people try to ban. Then, make a beeline to read those books, if you can. Find out for yourself why those people want that book banned. Find out for yourself if they can be trusted to know what’s best for you.” ~ Jeff Zentner

scrolling quickly by this looked like a card from a new TCG ngl

How much did the police make?

An emerging asymmetry: when AI critics say things that are incorrect or out of pocket, those things get laser-targeted by "reasonable" people almost instantly; however, AI boosters say utter nonsense all the time but they're given the benefit of the doubt, because the reality of the tech is murky.

Paprika is such a trip

the pope is not woke. american conservative christianity has spent the last few decades mutating into an evil doppelgänger of itself such that any conservative christian leader who says things like “it’s wrong to incinerate schoolchildren” scans as a titan of superhuman moral fiber.

We need Johnny

YES PLEASE

A picture of Kanazawa Castle at night on the right, with parts of sakura trees in bloom illuminated from below, on the left. In the middle bottom portion of the photo is the top of my kirby hat which makes it look like Kirby (a pink boob-shaped blob character from Nintendo) is taking a selfie.

A picture of the mountains that surround Mount Wakakusa. It's all covered in trees (pines and others). In the middle bottom portion of the photo is the top of my kirby hat which makes it look like Kirby (a pink boob-shaped blob character from Nintendo) is taking a selfie.

A picture of the Tokyo Kirby Café interior with the Wispy Woods tree from Kirby's adventure in the middle. It's a cylindrical trunk with holes for eyes and mouth and a short cut off branch for a nose. It's arms are also cut off branches. There are people seated around its base, which extends as a counter, eating. More people in the background entering the café and getting ready to take pictures with the Kirby statue there. In the middle bottom portion of the photo is the top of my kirby hat which makes it look like Kirby (a pink boob-shaped blob character from Nintendo) is taking a selfie.

A photo of Shibuya at night (I can't remember exactly where). Crowds of people are walking up and down the street, which is illuminated by just so many store banners. It's very colorful and hyperstimulating. In the middle bottom portion of the photo is the top of my kirby hat which makes it look like Kirby (a pink boob-shaped blob character from Nintendo) is taking a selfie.

No witcher tonight bc jet lag is kicking my ass. Why, you ask? Bc I was in Japan for the last 2 weeks!

But check back next week as @werewolffeels.bsky.social @ariventures.bsky.social @hannahmation.bsky.social and @yutsai.bsky.social reembark on our Witcher adventure!

Folks, the remarks in question were that Brett Kavanaugh doesn't have any experience with how the common person lives 🤦

Democracy dies in sticking to niceties with people hellbent on dismantling it

The age range in which birth rate dropped over 80% is among girls 15-19, by the way. Children. It’s actually a very positive thing that kids aren’t being impregnated.

The GOP’s platform is pedophilia.

A "wartime" poster that says: "Using Generative AI? You're Prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead! Don't surrender your creativity to the Tech Billionaires' control!"

I missed this from @phineas.bsky.social when it originally came out but it sure feels relevant at the moment.

Also, you can buy this as a print from the artist here:

House prices are being artificially inflated because rich people do not live off money the way we do, they live by borrowing against their assets and never repaying those loans, and if the value of their assets goes down instead of up they are in ALL OF THE SHIT.

This reads like AI slop

Why would I use "AI," I actually know how to fucking write

Fuck off with that Newsom is our only hope bullshit.

We are not the party of destroying the poor and homeless, people in need and transgender people's lives. We are not the be best buds with nazis party. It's not an impossible purity test, it's bare bones basic empathy

Game workers do not receive any residuals/royalties on shipped titles and shipping bonuses are increasingly rare. There's also no guarantee that your name will even be in the credits if you leave before ship, and studios will use this to keep you compliant.

All of this can and should change.

AI is what you get when people think the end result is the only important output of a process.

subway ad that says "your idea could be live by the time you reach your stop"

as a culture we have really given "ideas" way too much credit. ideas are a dime a dozen. they happen all the time. the magic is way more in the doing, and the doing's diminished stature is linked to lack of respect for labor and, more recently, skill and expertise.

One man’s “I don’t do politics,” leads to mankind’s “we are on the brink of nuclear war.”

Let us be abundantly clear.

If we make it past this horrifying, terrifying era, which is to say humankind continues, we must all realize that “I don’t do politics” is unacceptable out of an adult’s mouth.

I'm the only full-time narrative designer on the team. I fought for months to get people to help, but limited funding means my 2nd and 3rd team members are part time freelancers. we can't even get enough for a FT writer, even at the lowest salary in my area

i can't believe a representative of the Vatican openly pondering whether someone should be burnt at the stake in 2026 and my answer is, "Yes absolutely, do it slow."

There won't be Witcher tonight folks. Several of us are being held up by work 🫠🥲

That is how I introduce most ppl nowadays to VtM. I tell them "watch John Wick, replace assassins with vampires, and 'the table' with 'the Camarilla' and you're like, 75% there"

At its heart "low distress tolerance" is really what was being pointed at with "white fragility", and I think perhaps the worst part of it in relation to whiteness is that it's the mere apprehension of possible distress that causes it, independent of actual harm.

how many bizarre fetish vids of Disney princesses did it take for them to back out, do you think? which one was the final straw?

“It’s inevitable” “you can’t roll it back” “you just have to accept it”

Don’t expect any further rewards or handclaps. This is how normal people are all the time.

They will unleash so many bots in the next presidential election that nobody'll be able to trust any polls whatsoever. It's horrible.

No Witcher tonight. I have work that needs to be done asap, and we are down 2 players so we will reconvene in Spring (next week)!
