Keep sharing and let's keep this rig rolling!

Trent has again done the impossible. The second #nineinchnoize show was better than the first. Astonishing.
Do yourself a favor and go listen to the NINE INCH NOIZE album today. It's great to see a band at this age with that legacy not only avoiding decline but only ascending to greater heights. (Also find their Coachella bits on YT.)
learning things trains you to learn things, solving problems trains you to solve problems. those aren't things you learn once, they are skills you maintain all your life. they build persistence, self-discipline, and confidence. things the ruling class do not want you, their chosen enemy, to have.
Happy Nine Inch Noize Day to all who celebrate
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
I don’t even have words for this.
If an AI future is what I'm getting left behind from, then Christ, just leave me behind. A girl can only pivot so much, hoss, and I hung up my pivotin' boots some time ago. I don't make videos even though that was supposedly the future of writing ten years ago — I mean, I guess I do, but they're little banjo practice videos for my friends, not expressions of a desperate careerist impulse. I use social media with the attention-crazed dopesickness of an addict, not the care and forethought of a professional, as any cursory read of my posts will confirm. I'm a writer by trade — a creative, as you might say — and here you are, running a business you don't even understand into the ground, deskilling my trade and expecting a thank you when you explain how you're doing it. If I don't devalue myself the way you continually devalue me, you warn, I'll be left behind. Okay, says I! Quit making it my problem and go! The dust you leave me in will settle, and in the meantime, I will keep doing my work in much the way I've done it since I first became literate.
‘if you don’t learn to use AI, you’ll get left behind!’ 🍆✊

If you’re thinking about funding F-Infinity (or already did so and want a sneak peak) check it out live tonight! #orbitalblues #ttrpg
"Like Musk, Jack Dorsey, and Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Altman has benefited greatly from a U.S. tech press pathologically obsessed with mythologizing terrible white men with a lot of money." - @karlbode.com:
Happy Appomattox Day to all that celebrate
Also great book title for people who like weird books.
It is a very good tactic to get people who like weird books to buy it.
I will never, ever use AI. Full stop. I will lose respect for you if you use it. Pathetic behavior for pathetic people.
A peek at @just-a-bee.bsky.social’s incredible artwork for #F-Infinity. They’ve almost funded, get them over the finish line! #orbitalblues #orbitalbluesmonth #ttrpg
And we're live!
Getting to work on the art for this book alongside @andrewbeauman.com and @tonytranrpg.bsky.social is a real dream come true, and I'm so proud of the whole team we have bringing you out to the track. You're in for a real treat!

Just went live! The entire racing rules set and visual direction of this new #orbitalblues sourcebook is amazing, but of course the character illustration by @just-a-bee.bsky.social is my favorite part. You should back this incredible project!
Over the roar of the engine you swear you can hear the sound of a crowd somewhere cheering your name. And hey, so what if your past still haunts you? You’ve learned that if you go fast enough it’ll never catch up.
Just a little over twelve hours to go before the race begins. Get in and buckle up. 🏎️
I guess boycotting Harry Potter feels pretty trivial to me, because I'm an adult. if someone told me I shouldn't eat Gerber's baby food, I'd be like, that is no problem. I'm way ahead of you
@just-a-bee.bsky.social has done some amazing art for this project! Check it out, the kickstarter launches this wed! #orbitalblues #orbitalbluesmonth
a lot of what has made discourse insane is that there's an entire crop of guys who live in dc, do a ton of uppers, and have massive gender insecurity around the fact that they're soft-handed scribes
I ONLY BELIEVE IN CONSPIRACY FACTS : THE BILLIONAIRES AND THE POLITICIANS WORKED TOGETHER TO CREATE A RULING CLASS THAT INCREASINGLY SQUEEZES EVERYONE ELSE WITH LOWER WAGES AND INCREASING COSTS, AND RELIES ON LEFTIST/LIBERAL INFIGHTING TO PRESERVE WEALTH INEQUALITY, AS WELL AS TOSSING SCRAP'S TO THE MIDDLE CLASS TO HELP THEM KEEP WORKERS AT BAY, AND USING THE MEDIA TO TELL US WE DESERVE TO HAVE LESS AND LESS EACH YEAR, BUT IM JUST A SKELETEN WHAT DO I KNOW "THE TEXT SAYS : I DONT BELIEVE IN CONSPIRACY THEORYS, WORK HARD AND YOULL GET REWARDED, THE NEWS WOULD NEVER LIE TO US, EAT BEANS SAVE MONEY, IF YOU LOVE YOUR JOB ITS NOT WORK, DONT HATE THE RICH WHAT IF YOUR GONNA BE RICH ONE DAY " - DASHARE.ZONE ADMIN

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
US Troops killed all the guards at Dachau for this kind of shit.
Wow, not the post I expected to read this evening. Well done #DinoCon for standing firm 💪
New York Times headline: Libertarians: We Told You So With an image of a big black boot stomping a snake
this is a subject that's near and dear to my heart
1. no you didn't, you retconning fucks
2. your decades of anti-governance "free market" "government never functions" propaganda paved the way for the complete authoritarian decimation of labor, consumer, environmental protections
how’s jeff bezos’s asshole taste btw
Hold institutions accountable.
the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability
