You have thought about this to a degree I honestly find uncomfortable

hawking a line of branded Mountain Goats smart glasses. no matter where you look things look a little bleaker and also the wearer cannot remove the glasses once worn. I’m disrupting this sector

People over on Facebook/YouTube/elsewhere on bluesky/reality have been mocking this, but these are all totally genuine and highly advanced GMing techniques pioneered in obscure corners of indie rpg design in the early 2000s.

Let's go through them one by one and learn together.

I'll be honest with you, people don't like Keir on the door but it's not over this Mandelson thing. They don't like him personally

Great news boss, this Mandelson stuff isn’t cutting through on the doorstep because they already think you’re a cunt

Headline from the AFR "Time to end welfare for the wealthy, says big business"

You mean the superannuation tax breaks? No?
You mean the CGT discount? No?
You mean the fossil fuel subsidies? No?
You mean the free gas for multinationals? No?
You mean the failure of the PRRT? No?
You mean the tax dodging trusts? No?
You mean the lack of a wealth tax? No?

No you mean the NDIS FFS

3 years into this stuff and still no normal person could answer the question “what’s your favourite piece of AI art?”

Don't listen to these other busybodies, Greg. I say you can drink all the bleach you want.

Joking aside, every proposal for age verification and ID verification is a proposal to give your data to Palantir, and that needs to be rammed home to every EU commission, EP and national politician every time they spout that rubbish.

I'm reading every Daredevil comic over the course of the year and I have to say that you have taken up the more challenging project.

Well. Until I get to the Chichester run anyway.

Happy Superman Day

i’m such a stupid fucking mark for trying to “work” and “follow the law”

Cancel Reply Forbidden Jay Bluesky is made with Al, the engineers and even some non-engineers use Claude code Can you ask them to stop?

Asking the forbidden question

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit

Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here

Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse

Media and universities: AI is here to stay

Gar.

So, I take occasional AI training because pretending work I’ve done was done by AI is a winning strategy at work, and what has struck me is that every class begins with a period trying to convince you that AI is useful.

No other classes I take have to argue that they’re not bullshit.

i said this about substack all the way back in 2021 and it's as true now as it was then and has always been and will always fucking be

“want to feel old” let me stop you right there. it’s not about what I want

Tom Waits and Massive Attack announce collaboration The two artists (seldom releasing new material) have revealed themselves a pairing, with “Boots On the Ground" arriving April 16th.

I’m sorry WHAT

As screenwriter of the Labubu movie I want to clear up some misconceptions. Yes, technically they do eat human flesh, but only necrotic tissue around wounds. Doctors use them to clean up injuries and promote positive health outcomes. Labubus are humanity’s allies, except for evil Labubus of course

“Nepo babies” are not the problem. It is completely normal and acceptable for people to pursue the same craft as their parents. The problem is that the creative industries have become inaccessible on a professional level to anyone who isn’t independently financially comfortable.

Hey, look at Substack promoting Andrew Tate as the #1 new bestseller. The company's amoral leadership & backers will platform anyone, even ludicrously toxic rapists & human traffickers.

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

I’ve seen enough. God is 1) real 2) nonbinary 3) primarily motivated by a deep hatred of JD Vance

AI doesn’t even make sense in your own capitalist terms! it doesn’t make a profit! it’s just ten of the dumbest bitches on earth passing around the same billion dollars and pretending they’re geniuses

i think one of the biggest indignities of being a socialist is continually being told you’re just a naive little fawn who doesn’t understand things by the most credulous fell-for-it-again-award winning dupes you’ve ever seen

just a bunch of dumb babies continually impressed by jangling keys
