I know exactly one Matchbox Romance song and it’s Monsters because it was used in an incredibly sick Bleach AMV years and years ago. Really feeling the nostalgia on that one.

Falling asleep to Gangsta’s Paradise by Coolio shouldn’t feel nostalgic but it 100% is.

The theme song Rush is an absolute banger and a big part of what put Aly & AJ on the map pre-Potential Break-up Song. It was originally just on Radio Disney to promote the movie but got so popular it ended up on mainstream radio.

I keep seeing insanely stupid posts promoted by somewhat famous people about how it’s fine to take pictures and nothing bad had happened to people who do and it makes me wanna scream so thanks for this common sense advice!

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

Guillermo del Toro on 'Frankenstein': 'AI can go f**k itself!'

"Art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go f*ck itself!” Guillermo del Toro is a guest of honour at this year’s Lumière Film Festival. He presents his adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", which audiences got to see on the big screen before it streams on Netflix next month.

Gonna make some videos this weekeeeend, pretty excited to have time, space, and energy to do that for once. Haven’t decided on a style yet but I’m kinda into the idea of playing some NextFest demos and just talking about stuff I like or my OCs or something over them

WHEN THERE’S TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Oh wow. Yes, very clever! Waterfall treasure! No one’s ever done that before. Lazy jackass

WHEN THERE’S NO TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Wow. Too stuck-up to put treasure there huh? Too much of a fucking ICONOCLAST for that? Piece of shit. FUCK you

But what about Destiny’s Child!?! Destiny’s Child was my first concert. I got to see Beyoncé and Michelle and Kelly sing Cater 2 U live. It was life changing. However they aren’t who I think of when I think of this crazy Y2K over-produced backed by power vocals, rap, & a drum machine music style.

Miranda✨ @jaegerx7.bsky.social · 4d

I miss all the black girl group excellence of the early 90’s and aughts. When I’m nostalgic for music it’s almost always stuff like Mis Teeq, L3W, or TLC (or sonically similar but not girl groups, Mýa or Blu Cantrell)

WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO READ PORN WRITTEN BY SOMETHING THAT DOESNT HAVE HOT RED BLOOD PUMPING THROUGH IT.

I was gonna say “doesn’t get horny” but honest to god asexuals write some of the best porn in existence

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.

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.

between this and the ICE ads on Spotify, YouTube randomly doing AI edits of creator's videos without their consent, and the U.S. government taking over TikTok, I think I'll just get really into collecting music on CDs and start bringing books with me everywhere again.

The first song off of Hazbin Hotel season 2 actually goes so fucking hard? It being a Lute led song says reaaal good things about this upcoming season, IMO. I love when ladies go batshit insane man.

Wrote about the temptation to put Gaza on the back burner now that the ceasefire is solidifying—and why we can't let that happen. Gaza still needs you, and me, and everyone to fight until real Palestinian liberation is won. www.discourseblog.com/p/gaza-still...

For the rest of time Infinity Nikki will be deeply linked to Rosé’s Rosie because I was playing that album on repeat the entire time I played. Now I’m listening to depressing ass 3am or Number One Girl and envisioning floating through the sky on an umbrella collecting dandelion seeds and shit.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

How long we talking and do you type with the tips of your fingers or the pads of your fingers? My Corsair K70 MK. 2 worked great once I learned how to type just as fast with the pads as long as I didn’t grow longer than like 5/8th’s an inch. Tall keys with fairlylarge space between them is ideal.

This whole series has been great, and genuinely moving, despite (or because of) being polished campaign video.

It is so rare to see those techniques—with that *surety*—used to say things like this, from positions like this, with a platform like this. No hedging, here.

Makes me want to do the work

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
