Okay folks. Stream is going live... I'm just not feeling like streaming Pokemon Legends Z-A, but I've been meaning to give Platinum a real try... so, assuming the version I am using works, we'll be starting a Platinum Nuzlocke today. (will be folding laundry early on)

I’m really starting to suspect that most of the tech bros haven’t actually read Tolkien, as they certainly don’t understand it.

The gentle hobbits save the “hard men” of Gondor, largely through compassion and selflessness. Not the other way around. The Christian parable is barely hidden!

Not text to speech. It is specifically describing a fully produced and performed audiobook with a cast of characters and sound effects etc.

Things actors and engineers get hired to do.

They’ve proven they can do it for fifty fucking dollars.

And Boson AI gave them a winning spot for this.

In case you’re curious what kind of uses for AI they were promoting at this HoYoverse sponsored event, here’s what one of the winners created with it:

“a cost-effective pipeline that produces audiobook content for under $50 per chapter, compared to $10K-$20K+ for traditional full-cast productions.”

bluesky staff misexplaining the torment nexus post, a post about how tech people don’t understand the media they read, is going to make me laugh for a long time

The privacy issue with KOSA "resonating with a large swath of people"-- that's you, that was you calling your reps. Don't let anyone tell you it's pointless

Let's do it again for the censorship bills in this new package

There has never been a more urgent need to have a society internalize the sentiment “The cemeteries are full of irreplaceable men.”

Let’s be clear, most EBT users are white. The reason he’s specifically lying about “weaves” and we’ve seen so many AI fakes of Black women ranting about food stamps is they need to make BW the face EBT because they know many Americans don’t care if Black people suffer, and some actually wish for it.
ROB SCHMITT: People are using SNAP benefits to get their nails done, to get their weaves and their hair. This is a really ugly program.

SEN. RON JOHNSON: That program needs to be dramatically reformed.

The DVD (1996) is now as old as the original 8-inch floppy disk (1967) was when the DVD came out.
Uuuugh... I have an annoyingly large headache coming on and thus I do not feel up to streaming right now. Blech.

Taking some tylenol and lying down for a bit. If it clears up quickly we'll do a short stream. Otherwise, I'll see you all on Sunday's stream.

Just giving away the whole plan, eh?
Brooke Rollins: "SNAP is arguably just the beginning. The logical and inevitable end to where this all goes is the Democrats and the whole superstructure of constitutional government."

“this mass deprivation, which we insist is bad and not our fault, is a great opportunity for us to talk about our plans for long-term mass deprivation”
Brooke Rollins: "I guess the silver lining in all of this is that we're having a national conversation on our SNAP program. This has shined a light on a program that especially under the last administration has just become so bloated."

You know what we donate to the local food pantries? We donate MONEY. Because they can turn that money into what those they serve need the most. I do not know what those folks need better than the food pantry does. So I give them my dollars and they turn them into something useful.
Sweet Jesus, do not donate seeds to your food bank in October. Honestly, don’t donate seeds to your food bank unless you are specifically asked to, and even then I would think REALLY HARD about whether that’s regionally appropriate.

When I needed food donations, I was in student housing.

the heritage foundation shifting gears into full rabid ethnonationalism in opposition to the current regime's kleptocrats and technofeudalists is the beginning of the custody fight over the right wing's future. both think they've won, and are now maneuvering to get rid of the other in 2028.
1. A watershed moment.

The President of the Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action, Kevin Roberts , has announced that the organization is standing by Tucker Carlson in the aftermath of Tucker’s interview with neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes.

This isn’t Kevin bending his knee to Trump…this is something new

The strength of Platner's fundraising and his polling even after all this came out should speak to the electoral potential of attacking billionaires and advocating for strong social programs.

an unfortunate number of leftists have concluded "only this one guy can sell this platform to voters"

Please note what happened here. By challenging Trump to pause his terror raids for Halloween, Pritzker forced Kristi Noem to come out *for* continuing to traumatize kids. Polarizing these debates draws attention/forces MAGA depravity into the light.

Friendly reminder that The people who genuinely say "people abuse snap" "people don't deserve welfare" are repeating Hitler's "useless-eaters" rhetoric, and they want the poor and disabled to die.
“some people abuse SNAP” your soul is rotten

So, because I have to head out early today... there will be no stream. I will, instead, use the time to record some BattleTech and Pokemon for youtube. We'll be back with either Super Robot Wars V or Pokemon Legends Z-A tomorrow afternoon.

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I just found this puzzle box inside a Terry’s chocolate orange, played with it for a moment, and a gang of black-clad, heavily pierced extra-dimensional beings showed up saying they have such sights to show me. Be safe.
