Black Friday thread.

I'm not big in the market, and while I was active a good year I have to admit The Bad Place we just left wasn't great for boosting my work. SO! Some places where you can get my work.

We've got politics, D&D, and collectables.

I think what this otherwise interesting (read: depressing) article fails to look at is the issue of consent when using AI to lie about who they are in order to sleep with people.

Excellent pun from Greg tho!

You may call it ‘Chatfishing’, but I shall only refer to it as ‘Cyrano de Berger-App’

‘I realised I’d been ChatGPT-ed into bed’: how ‘Chatfishing’ made finding love on dating apps even weirder

Where once people were duped by soft-focus photos and borrowed chat-up lines, now they have to watch out for computer-generated charm. But it’s one thing to use a witty phrase – another thing entirely...

This is such a clever idea on taking kids to museums/galleries
www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Nadia from London has an idea that sounds such fun you'll be booking a day out asap.
"I've always loved museums," she says,
"but they can be overwhelming for children. For decades now, I've done something called 'playing postcards'
We do
the museum backwards, visiting the gift shop first. Each child gets to choose three postcards. Then they take it in turns to find that particular artwork in the museum and give us a little information about the piece from the details on the postcard, or from any gallery plaque. At the end of this treasure-hunt-style activity, we vote for our favourite in the cafe."

A commission for @ sshomoerotica.bsky.social of Flynn Fairwind and Mathias Shaw from World of warcraft. They are standing together, holding their swords in defense either side of them, while they hold hands and share a gentle kiss. There is symbolic imagery of clouds, sunrays, and an anchor behind them. It is based from The Lovers tarot card.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 19h

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Chris Murphy: "Republicans are boycotting negotiations to reopen the govt bc they're desperate to raise premiums on people by 75% in order to finance their tax cut for the wealthy. The other reason House isn't in town? They're about to have enough votes to mandate the release of the Epstein files."

THREAD. Did you know that at about 1/3 of all stranger homicides in the U.S. are perpetrated by police? But there's something hidden here that is important to understand in this authoritarian moment.

"Wow Marvel is fuckin up. It's a hard to be an X-Men fan. That's what I'm learning. Krakoa was the best and you've lost so much. See? I know things."

Jen is so supportive 🥲

It's been a full week since DHS issued a press release claiming TEN CARS ambushed them—and have since:
•charged ZERO of those alleged 10 drivers
•arrested ZERO of those alleged 10 people
•filed ZERO reports of alleged property damage, &
•offered ZERO evidence of their claim
