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.

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.
Gotta block ‘em all!
Here’s the one-stop shopping blocklist to disappear the Trump regime accounts that swarmed Bluesky yesterday.

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
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.
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.
Huh, wait - did this directly inspire Worm’s “magic is always loud and noticeable“ thing?

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.

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

Is there ANYTHING I'm better than Dua Lipa at? Doesn't look good. Writing solo RPGs, maybe. But obviously I don't know that for sure

Hi y'all, it's about that time for me to start worrying about getting my meds. I really can't afford to be off them for any length of time again so I'm asking earlier than usual. Please help if you can, it is vital to my health and safety. I love you
I'm a trans woman suffering severe PTSD and have been looking for work all year to no avail with absolutely zero help from anyone in my family. Any help towards my monthly bills or even just reposts are massively appreciated.

"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.
