The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive-because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Really powerful, hopeful paragraph from the latest article in the Atlantic by @adamserwer.bsky.social

The fact that "being taxed on a wealth that would take most people dozens of generations to gather" is "the scariest thing she's ever seen" means the world isn't scaring millionaires and billionaires nearly enough yet.

Yeah, Mackenzie Scott is a fascinating case. She is literally ignoring the SOPs of philanthropy in order to give away wealth as quickly and efficiently as possible and she’s still getting richer. At her level it is impossible not to make money. Tax billionaires, A LOT.

Regulate corporations, not people. Start by regulating the use of algorithms to deliver content, don’t allow ads/paid targeting anyone under 16, platform culpability for the spread of misinformation on, require limits on engagement-based user experience design, etc.

I remember this, the Holly King was actually made of an old Fray Bentos tin

A Supernaturalerotic Sneak-Preview by TheWaether Demo preview of Supernaturalerotic Flights-of-Fancy, a game of gorgeous ghouls, sexy spirits and fearsome frights

I hear so much "dont buy harry potter" and so much "support trans creators" but I don't hear much "play supernaturalerotic flights-of-fancy the sexy supernatural series of adventures for queer and twisted sex freaks coming to PC in 2026", which allows you to do both

This little alien PERVERT is 'Rock Hard'. In a film for children. Disgusting.

You would get so many more amazing books if you had Universal Basic Income. Not even the most dream-scenario AI could compete with the creativity of a world of authors no longer afraid of affording rent.

Next week there will be another existential boogeyman designed to discourage you from pursuing art. There will always be a mosquito in your ear trying to convince you your creativity has no value. Let this Sora situation be a lesson. Stop getting pushed around by scammers. Make art

Re: my last reposts

“Do not put money in the pocket of a woman who has sworn publicly to use it to disenfranchise vulnerable populations” is the smallest ask imaginable. It’s not oxygen, it’s not food. It’s television. You can do without. There are thousands of other shows for you to watch.

This NEVER occurred to me, my god I hated that area so very much and that explains a lot

Whenever elon musk catches a cold he probably says shit like "I'm being attacked by nanobots"

UK gas prices soar after strike on energy facilities in Qatar and Iran

An illegal war waged by two countries the UK arms & supports

B52s launched from British soil. Israeli jets built with British parts

A UK economy still hooked on fossil fuels.

We must end support for the war, cut fossil fuel addiction & support families facing this price shock.

can think of at least 50 artists who, if you gave them each even like 100 thousand dollars, it would absolutely change the culture we live in for the better. 5 million is pocket change in the scheme of things. but we have to live in a world where all of that capital is wasted on bullshit like this.

Its funny how every time genAI is actually implemented in a consumer product, like DLSS5 or that auto dubbed Banana Fish anime Amazon put out, it's a laughable failure that embarrasses everyone involved and yet the market still pretends this tech is gonna change the game

Oh No He's Here

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

The same model, peering through two craggy moss-covered rocks

The same model silhouetted against a dark grey sky

"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!"

counterpoint!

the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

A Common Crag Wyvern On The Prowl #illustration #photography #miniature #sculpture #dragon #fantasyart

A bipedal creature with irregular red legs ending in clawed toes - A fringe of green tendrils emerges out of a light grey cuboid shape with a cartoon-ass eye on the side - A weird single insect-leg-like structure is on the creature's underbelly - A third leg, maybe? You tell me, pal!
