You are a game designer. You have so many ideas, and so few of them are published. Perhaps none of them are. Your WIP folder is full of genius, and you know it, but you cannot bring yourself to release it in an imperfect state.

This is for you.

Presenting THE 1E MANIFESTO.

I'm not sure it's common knowledge but there are literally thousands and thousands of people employed in India working 9-5 to train LLMs to be "smart" and "safe".

Tech bros laud it as a technological achievement but it's the same old story - just another way of hiding the real labor of people.

Pretty much every single one of these new government accounts is posting rage bait. It's possible (like 100% guaranteed) they are trying to provoke people here on purpose, so don't fall for it. Blockity block block block.

I, for one, fucking love this game and I think Adam Bell should be the most famous and beloved game designer to all as he is to me thank you for cooperation

Adam Bell @adambell.games · 5d

I put out an ashcan for a scifi game last year that has some very interesting (to me) twists on FITD. barely anybody noticed and then I totally forgot about it until yesterday when I realized I could print some out and take them to the pittsburgh zine fair tomorrow

Also remember there is no algorithm here. Your quote-posts to dunk on them are helping them out when they can't game the system like they do on other platforms. Don't make their jobs easier for them. Just block and move on.

Sean Chiplock 🟡 🔜 AkiCon (East Peoria, IL) @sonicmega.bsky.social · 5d

Remember:

- they DO NOT CARE about your arguments/rebuttals

- they DO NOT CARE about your dunks

- the person running the accounts was specifically hired to drive engagement BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY; it’s the algorithm they’re catering to

This is a game, and to them you are data to be manipulated.

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

cow tools daily @cowtoolsdaily.bsky.social · 7d

the night cow takes pity on the sluggos of the world

Edited Nancy comic by Ernie Bushmiller. A cow-headed robber creeps in through the window of sluggo's room as Sluggo sleeps. There is a broken chair, patches on the rugs and blankets, tattered curtains and tattered lamp shade. After looking around at the sorry state of sluggo's place. The robber leaves without taking anything and instead leaves a lump-with-handle cow tool behind with a "klunk"

It's over: I've already depicted you as the seething broad gauge train, and myself as the smug narrow gauge!

A sketch of two steam trains, human faces on the front. The title above them says 'The Broad Gauge and the Narrow Gauge'. The narrow gauge train is looking unbearably smug, then broad gauge absolutely raging. In the smoke, they are communicating, the broad gauge saying "You are a locomotive" and the narrow saying "You are another".

Consumer-facing "A.i." fucking sucks and you're embarrassing yourself if you pass it off for your actual thoughts.

Adam Mallinger @bitterscriptreader.bsky.social · 9d

“The humans won hands down when it came to notes, which require actual analysis rather than just distillation. The AI programs were ‘an almost total fail across the board.’”

Nice to know I wouldn’t have been so easily replaced at my old job by an A.I.

So for everyone who has said that comparisons between HIV and COVID-19 are inflammatory and irresponsible, I’m sharing this new article in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine that does just that and finds some clear parallels:

www.ajpmfocus.org/article/S277...

A screenshot of article highlights:

•
HIV/AIDS and COVID-19 are preventable infectious diseases with chronic systemic impacts including immune system dysfunction.
•
Chronic inflammation, immune exhaustion, and accelerated biological aging are shared hallmarks of HIVI/AIDS and Long COVID/PASC.
•
Tissue reservoir persistence drives long-term damage in both HIV and SARS-CoV-2. SARS-CoV-2 mirrors HIV-1 in its ability to evade immune defenses and cause chronic infection.
•
SARS-CoV-2 -associated neurological disorders (SAND) parallel HIV-associated neurological disorders (HAND).
•
Both pandemics exhibit failures in global solidarity and reveal inequities in healthcare access.

Osaka: None/bun - A sack of nuns @osakanone.bsky.social · 8d

remigrate is not a dog whistle, and is open nazi language

Remigration

Not to be confused with Return migration.
Remigration is an originally European far-right proposal of ethnic cleansing[1] via the mass deportation of non-white immigrants and their descendants, sometimes including those born in Europe, to their place of racial ancestry.[2][3] It is popular especially within the Identitarian movement.[4][5] Some proponents of remigration suggest excluding some persons with non-European background from such a mass deportation, based on a varyingly defined degree of assimilation into European culture.[6][7][8]

"Transsexuality is bourgeois" reflects the common belief that medicine, technology, and any improvements to quality of life are owed to capitalism. The reality is that capitalism holds these improvements hostage for the sake of wealth.
