We’ve met with Greta Thunberg and others in the flotilla. They describe hours-long scenes of torture and sexual harassment in Israeli captivity. Experts conclude that they have been subjected to serious crimes – Sweden’s foreign minister believes they have themselves to blame.

Don’t you think the internet made them worse? Or is that just Libertarians getting worse?

Los Angeles County voted to declare a state of emergency in response to federal ICE raids. Normally reserved for natural disasters, the declaration allows the county to mobilize resources and offer assistance to residents impacted by the raids.
LA County officials approve emergency declaration over immigration raids
The move allows the L.A. County Board of Supervisors to provide rent relief for tenants who have fallen behind as a result of the crackdown on immigrants.

Also once you paywall everything and it still doesn’t make you enough money to pay employees who have to pay their ever increasing bills the next step is ads and eventually you’ll look like every other news outlet and then you’ll pick up their shitty practices and we’ll be back at step one.
mrrodriguez89.bsky.social
As we watch the corporate news media kill itself I think the independent news media needs to take a hard look at itself and determine if they just wanna pick up the customers falling off the mainstream or if they wanna report the news. One of those clearly does not benefit from paywalls.
mrrodriguez89.bsky.social
The problem with paywalls is that it seems a lot of people who should know better don’t want to manage them so an article about some celebrity’s opinion is given the same importance as a story about an innocent man dying in custody that should be accessible to everyone for the sake of social good.

#pixelart Zelda edition
A pixel reimagining of the boss battle with Aquamentus, from the first The Legend of Zelda. The room is flooded, and a few ray of light filter from the ceiling, making the swamped floor shine. Many giant roots cover the wall, and lilypads and lotus flowers are scattered across the water surface. Link, carrying all his items, faces the unicorn-dragon Aquamentus as the water ripples below them. A pixel art reimagining of Southern Face Shrine boss room, seen from above. The arena is surrounded by brick, curved walls; the structure is encircled by by stained glass windows atop each side. The central window showcases the Wind Fish Effigy.
As the glass and candles create an iridescent atmosphere in the arena, Link is ready to face the colossal Armos Knight, as they both wield a sword and a shield.
Behind the mighty foe, a stone face carved into the wall can be seen: its mouth opens into a dark corridor, leading to the innermost sanctum and its dark secrets. A collection of boss sprites from the original The Legend Of Zelda, with a custom gbc-inspired palette. At the center, a big Ganondorf sprite, and all around, from top center and clockwise: Aquamentus, Dodongo, Manhandla, Gleeok, Digdogger, Gohma and Patra. A top-down pixel art reimagining of Animal Village, from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX. A rural village, surrounded by rocky cliffs and tall trees, with its windmills and a telephone pole, is populated by animals. In the middle of a grassy meadow, Link and Marin are dueting the Ballad of the wind fish, as three rabbits, a toucan and a blue bear are listening. Schule Donavitsch, the painting alligator is making a portrait of the Hippo model, as Grandma Yahoo is sweeping the alley. The Bear Chef is just outside her house, looking at the animals, Marin and Link.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

On year ago today, the tabletop roleplaying game industry lost one of its most influential designers and illustrators, not to mention the most senior and prominent transgender professional in the field. Her work continues to resonate with me to this day.

As we said at the time of her passing, "We at the Chaosium fondly remember all the wonderful works you created for us, and for others. You have earned your seat at the table of gaming greats many times over."
Vale and farewell, Jennell Jaquays (1956 - 2024)

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year
We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

ultimately Zohran seems like a guy who really believes in things and really wants to get them done and understands how much work it takes to build the coalitions necessary to do that
