My job hit us with mandatory Copilot sign up and training so they could brag to investors about our AI adoption rate. In reality no one outside of management is using it, and the way management is using it is actively making our lives worse. Our PM is using Copilot to write our Jira tickets????

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS
You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings.
When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.
If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.
If you get stopped by the police, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.
If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.
If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status."

if you're going to a protest today I wish you luck. The only specific thing I will beg of you is this: don't use milk to wash out tear gas or mace. if you see a street medic with milk, yell at them until they throw it out. do not continue to spread lies about emergency medicine.

earthbound is one of those overplayed, overhyped and oversaturated classics that you play and realise it's actually underrated

RaisonDetriment @raisondetriment.bsky.social · 4d

Playing Earthbound for the first time ever in 2025 is fascinating, actually. You're just a kid and the world's gone mad. All the adults are useless at best or trying to kill you at worst. Everyone talks like a crazy person. Everything's too expensive. Your next door neighbor wants to be a dictator.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

A.
Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic.
When I

was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible

I. I did that through a mutual friend

of ours, a guy named

underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a

submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the

This was going to be my exact vote. Every reprise in that finale is just absurdly well done.

On my first try I didn't even fully figure out the gimmick. I just had everyone defend when the party was Defamed.

Once the party is inflicted with Defamed, the party member who is guilty gets crits every turn. Any damage they deal while Defamed gets reflected to the rest of the party after a few turns. Healing also gets sent to the rest of the party so just make the person with crits heal every turn.

Everything up until the end was phenomenal, and it has some of the best depictions of grief and how death can affect a group that I've ever seen. But god why would you decide to take the story in that direction???

blinkled.bsky.social @blinkled.bsky.social · Jul 7

I finally finished Omori and I don't think I've ever had more mixed feelings about a game in my life. I loved every moment until it shot itself in the foot at the last second. It feels like it couldn't decide if it wanted to be Mother 3 or Silent Hill 2 and failed at being either of them.

I almost want to present this without comment. But, uh, check out "Hero of Law"! ⚖️ A crossover MOD for #Zelda: Ocarina of Time where Link gains the ability to speak in order to defend Hylians as a defense attorney!
