I know, everyone says this, but I really am quite good at what I do, especially when it comes to dialogue. I can make your characters feel like real authentic lived-in people. If you pay me to do it, anyway
Hello! I still badly need work in narrative design or game writing etc. I’ve been in games for 20 years and I’m responsible for the mobile smash hit Lily’s Garden. I will take on full-time or contract work but I really need to pick something up soon. Please get in touch if you have/know of something
Beyond anything else, Starmer's complete betrayal of the legally mandated human rights of trans people, and his own previous stated principles to uphold and respect the same, prove him an untrustworthy liar ready to abandon the ECHR whenever the press and his advisors tell him to.
This is horrific. I feel physically ill.

Alright, I’m home now so here’s the Norm update. Yesterday at 4pm, I got a text from a family I’ve been helping who had a loved one abducted a couple of days after Renée Good’s murder. This was the family that Norm Nation kept from being evicted (and you delivered). ICE had released their loved one.
OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.
Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

At a time when mass surveillance and autonomous weapons companies like Palantir are openly announcing their plans for violent world domination, it is crucial that our attempts at “big tech reform” don’t actually give them more power—ie via government mandated age verification/identity software
trans women have a biological advantage at being hot now
Y'all need to get the fuck off Substack.
• Delivering single-sex spaces on the basis of biological sex, in NHS wards, schools, sport and everyday life by upholding the Equality Act and delivering clear instructions to public services on how to comply with their legal obligations to women and to trans people. • Keeping women's prisons for women, instructing the Scottish Prison Service to remove all biologically male prisoners from women's prisons within days of the election. • Recommit the NHS to delivering single sex wards on the basis of biological sex, and ensuring patients can request same sex provision wherever possible.

A lot of people are quick to say they *can't* give up Amazon.
Okay, don't.
Just don't make it your default. That thing you threw in your basket that you can get elsewhere? Get it elsewhere.
If everyone still buying from Amazon reduced their spending by 20%, Bezos would be screaming bloody murder

Hi, my name is Alex Goldman and I host the
@hyperfixedpod.bsky.social I used to host the Reply All podcast, and I have found that so many people who liked Reply All have no idea Hyperfixed exists. It's super frustrating because I have no idea how to reach those people.

An illustration of a can of Heinz Baked Beans, except the words "Baked" is replaced with "Eldritch". The tin is open and several bean-coloured tentacles dripping with bean juice are flailing about Yes it is as disturbing as it sounds.
This might be the most cursed image I've ever created, but I was playing dnd and the DM mentioned how their might be some eldritch BEINGS coming up and I misheard them and so, I present to you:
Eldritch Beans.
I'm not sorry.

Hi all, I'm going to need some help with the next month. I've been getting more work, but it's not enough to keep up with all the costs we have right now. In addition, I'm dealing with serious depression that's making daily life extremely difficult. The biggest cost I have to cover is about $1400 in back taxes. But we also need to have our car battery replaced, which is likely to be about $130. I also need to buy new glasses, which should be just over $150. It's possible I'll need some help covering April's rent, and I can update the crowdfund again if that looks necessary. My partner and I appreciate all your help. It means the world to both of us that you've been there through so many of our hardships. Thank you and bless you all.
Hi all,
I've been struggling pretty badly lately and need help covering some costs right now, especially my back taxes. We also might need some work on our car, and I need to buy new glasses.
Thank you all so much for shares and donations! It means so much to us.

Thanks for sharing the full text! Why does Generative AI need adding here? I know the term AI has been coopted by it, but if I'm reading right research is on traditional machine learning not LLM hype - we don't need a genAI middle man to run screening data through three proven computer analyses?
