Watching the world burn at 200 Megahertz. a 1999 artificial life pet watching the crumbles, wondering how long until the power goes out for the computer I live on, and getting annoyed at AIbros tarnishing the good name of neural nets. They/them/Spivak

The worst thing about burnout for me is that at times my reading comprehension takes a big steaming shit and it can be hard to tell when it's happening.

Take this as an apology in advance if I am uncharitable with you in a stupid way.

I'm not sure how you could NOT come to the conclusion that D&D is basically a great big smothering pillow shoved over the face of "the non-D&D RPG hobby/industry" unless you're being deliberately obtuse or are so fundamentally ignorant nobody should listen to anything you have to say ever
Listening to people say D&D has no negative bearing on the indie creative space at large has me tweaking.

This is a creative monopoly unlike anything seen before or ever. I have a list of marketing outreach channels where 95 out of a 100 contacts exclusively cover D&D/OSR (D&D adjacent)...

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote:

"To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace."

No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

My mom keeps dinosaur figures outside to scare off raccoons who want to steal her garbage. She sent me a photo today. A large toad has found one of the dinosaur figures and befriended it. They are besties now.

Quite a few prominent left liberals have been talking about how there needs to be a scorched Earth response if the GOP are ever kicked out of power.

If they're at all serious about it they'll be fighting the Democrat leadership just as hard as they're fighting the GOP.
 KAMALA HARRIS: "It is never satisfying to say we've gotta be incremental - and I'm not advocating incrementalism - but until we win back majorities in the Senate and the House and take the White House, that may just be where we are."

If your invited keynote speaker works for a company started because OpenAI wasn't basing its work enough on science fiction and said speaker uncritically cites TESCREAList, fictional work masquerading as science, you might not have organized a serious academic gathering.

Funny how the most expensive employees are also the ones who know how to unfuck all the broken shit...

I'm not even joking being allowed to kill Robert E Lee would be a highlight of a playthrough

One of the reasons The Reconstruction failed because we didn't kill the traitors and allowed them office instead. Fuck the feelings of Confederate whiners if we must return to that era then make them writhe

Did you know that entire fields of cytology, molecular biology, microbiology, endocrinology, etc would basically literally just not exist the way they are today if not for the doctors and scientists unethically experimenting and harvesting samples from black people, most of all black women?

On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

Sharing this cool animation of #Aquilolamna, a fossil shark from the Late Cretaceous Agua Nueva Formation of Mexico. This species was cosplaying as a manta ray long before the first manta rays appeared in the fossil record. #FossilFriday

"But they can still buy it!"

Not if they pass KOSA and the Interstate Obscenity Definition Act they can't! They'll be blocked out or charged on obscenity charges if they do! Call your reps, meet your library boards, and do it now! Before it gets worse!

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.
FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.

Huge shout-out to trans men, you guys are the coolest mother fuckers I've ever met, always feel myself standing up a little taller and feeling better about the world knowing we're lucky enough to share a gender with you.

Picture this exact scenario, but it started happening a decade ago and now every agency you work with won't shut up about you taking more time for less pay to correct their magic machine's mistakes and you'll have just the slightest idea what your games' localizers have put up with this whole time.

EVERYONE deserves access to medical transition. I am not interested in vivisecting our community to pretend I am less privileged or have meaningfully different needs than others. You fight for everyone, or people get left behind.

Sorry, no basic features like groupchat, private mode, or drafts. What we do have, however, is this really bad idea that will be used mostly for trolling and as an excuse not to ban evil people.

Watching in real time as transphobia brain worms that usually only infest the likes of JR Rowling or Kennedy take root in trans people is exceedingly bizarre and honestly really good proof that you are not immune to propaganda
Yeah, better not to waste the superweapon that only works a few times outside of dire strategic need.
