@gabrielgabfonseca.bsky.social Did you make all the visuals for the Sojourn's solar system diagrams?

I'm working on a BattleTech fan project, and someone I'm working with would love to know what program was used here since it may be of use for our project!

Turns out one of the big bosses in my company is SUPER EXCITED about using AI to do my job for me... even though I think it'd count as a breach of contract, since it's no longer being transcribed by anyone in Australia.

I kinda feel like we're scamming WA DoJ. Seems dumb to scam a whole DoJ.

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

Everyone, give

I wish people would stop doing Donald Trump impressions. It's an admission of his uniqueness, his power, and the amount of interest which words spoken in his voice elicit.

It fails to criticize him, and instead immortalizes him. It cements his presence in culture, and I don't want that.

He wouldn't just hate it, he would see it as a usurpation of him personally. He would be at war with it. He would have pictures of LLMs on his dart boards.
Would Garth Marenghi be pro-AI or anti-AI?

2am and the cat is freaking out chasing the shadow of a moth all over the room. It got away, so she tried to chase it. Here she is sitting on the window ledge, totally unable to find her prey.

If you, like me, want to watch payment processors suffer AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE? Call from the day before Black Friday to like the day before Christmas at minimum.

I know it's hard to have a perpetual campaign, so think of it as just this month for now.
Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

Morning, bitches!

Remember, "the creator that made the <popular thing> which then became the backbone of an entire corporation, who then fired said creator and they died in poverty" is not some wishy-washy story, it's a very real warning.

Make, and own, your own art.

I hate Christmas, but I don't go and make it everybody else's problem. If you, too, are a hater? You need lacey's implied advice. Let people enjoy things they love.

I would get so much more done if I had the self control to do this instead of fixate on where I'm stuck.

I already do this with like [PLACEHOLDER NAME] or skipping ahead to other segments of a project. But this is the #1 skill I feel like I should improve just so I spend more time writing.

Brilliant celebration of a weird little game that couldn't, but damned if it didn't give me a ton to think about. Really love the work that went into all of this, the video and the game it's about.
new video! i had a lot of fun with this one, and it comes with a Pretty Cool Surprise for you 😎

... I feel like the writers got one over on the editors here, working in an even more foul word and getting it approved.

Also, in my mind, very on-brand for Constantine to just say the most cursed word possible.
John Constantine said it in The Books of Magic because the editors didn’t want him to say “fucking”

Please continue making calls to Visa and Mastercard, because they are working alongside conservative legislators to crack down on free speech and expression!

A dual pronged offense requires a dual pronged defense!
#SaveSpeech

starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again!

He looks great! I think (and hope) Dick Van Dyke is going to live long enough to make biologists question the maximum human lifespan estimate of 125.
At almost 100, Dick Van Dyke won't sit still — and is eying one more big role
Ahead of his 100th birthday, the legendary actor reflects on his life and movies and his secret to longevity.

Step out to get some water and I see a mosquito just sitting on my cat's nose, biting her right in the nostril, and she's just totally oblivious to it.

I grabbed it, but it survived and got away. Poor baby is going to have a very sore nose.
