Amazing Feed • Follow 1d • O ... X FORT MYERS, FL -- FLORIDA MAN FOUND SUNBURNED AND DISORIENTED ON SANIBEL CAUSEWAY CLAIMING HE WAS "KIDNAPPED BY DOLPHINS AND FORCED TO BUILD AN UNDERWATER CITY" Lee County Sheriff's deputies responded to the Sanibel Causeway early Monday after a motorist reported a man standing on the shoulder "soaking wet and drawing blueprints in the sand." According to the police report, Ricky James Hollowell, 33, was found barefoot, severely sunburned, and wearing only swim trunks. He told deputies he had been "taken against his will by a pod of dolphins 3 days ago" and forced to work on what he called "an underwater construction project." According to Hollowell and the police report: Hollowell claimed the dolphins approached him while he was swimming off Fort Myers Beach and "escorted him to a site approximately 40 feet below the surface" where they needed help building structures He told officers the dolphins communicated through "a series of clicks that he eventually learned to interpret" and that the project foreman was a dolphin he referred to as "Gerald" When asked how he breathed underwater for 3 days he said "Gerald handled that. I didn't ask questions. You don't question Gerald" He had drawn an elaborate blueprint in the sand that deputies described as "detailed enough to be concerning" including what appeared to be condos, a town square, and a recreation center He told officers he was released because "the dolphins were satisfied with his work" but that Gerald said "they'd be back for phase two" Responding deputy Shawn Oakley told reporters: "I've been with the sheriff's office 11 years. The blueprints were the part that got me. He had zoning." Hollowell was transported for medical evaluation. Gerald was unavailable for comment. Some men build cities on land. Ricky Hollowell claims he built one underwater for dolphins and honestly the blueprints were hard to argue with.

This is hands down the best thing that you will read all day. And if someone doesn’t put out a t-shirt that has a picture of a dolphin on it with the caption, “You don’t question Gerald”, then what are we even doing here?

Thanks guys it worked

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Screenshot from the Capcom arcade game "Mega Man 2 The Power Fighters", specifically from Mega Man's ending. Dr. Light says a line that feels topical today more than ever. "Sometimes peace cannot be achieved unless those who spread war are destroyed."

And I think it’s most interesting when the justifications are dropped! What if someone’s interest in a sexual experience, that could not in real life include them, did not: Heal your trauma Help you navigate misogyny Assist in identity formation as a gay trans man Or do any good in your life aside from being you pleasure Wouldn’t it be fun to find out? It seems like people often want to introduce virtue into this conversation, like “As a woman, you ought to be more interested in f/f. Only once you have finished the broccoli of lesbianism may you enjoy the bread pudding of fake faggotry.”

“the broccoli of lesbianism versus the bread pudding of fake faggotry”

People in sci-fi novels are always naming their exploratory vessels shit like ICARUS and IXION and while I am not superstitious, I would maybe go with the USS GOT-THERE-SAFELY.

Corollary to @faineg.bsky.social's discourse on "good tech needs no begging to adopt": when the humble web browser has become so encumbered by AI features that an article about using the command line to run GitHub scripts to shut them off is viral news amongst normies, it's a full repudiation of AI.

Having life get heavy and realizing your entire support network is pretty much “a bunch of people you talked to on twitter but now you can’t hang out with anymore because of fascism” is a real kick in the teeth.

Sorry it’s rough right now 💛

BIG FIGHT AT POLAND’S WROCLAW ZOO!!!

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

I would vote for him

We can’t have another three years of this

You know... It's finally dawning on me why I can't get anything fucking done.

In what reality does a person wake up to FUCKING BATSHIT NEWS *every* fucking morning and want to do anything but numb the hell out just to try and make it through the day.

In what fucking reality.
