Just because we pay for medical care now doesn't make it inherently a product. Also, this idea that individual expression and choice somehow don't exist under communism is deeply weird.

Also, "transsexualism"? Seriously? At least use terminology from, I dunno, this century? Fucken weirdo.

Are women bourgeois?

Transsexualism as we conceive of it in America is bourgeois, the product of a society that venerates the freedom of an individual to choose. There is no designer vagina under communism, I'm sorry.

This weather has me seriously rekt. Happens basically every time the seasons change... so about eight times a year? I guess the major take away here is Hail Ratma!

Blue 9 (they/them) @odinscrow.bsky.social · 14h

That species of communist that sees something we pay for now and just assumes it's a bourgeois product that'll have to be eliminated under communism. It's a boggling lack of imagination.

Tily Norwood shows us Philip K. Dick was right-- the central drive behind artificial intelligence development is to create labor that can't be forced because it can't say "no".

Additionally, M. Night just generally sucks. He has his moments, but godsdamn, he just can't seem to help himself.

The one thing I can predict with this development team especially is this show is gonna be weirdly ableist somehow 😅

Talk about jump scares in you TL. Scrolling along and come across this…

The image is a movie poster featuring a close-up of two hands holding a kitchen knife. One hand grips the knife's handle, while the other supports the blade, which has a slice of melon impaled on its tip. The background is blurred with red streaks and circular smears, possibly suggesting blood or paint on a window, set against a greenish backdrop. The image has a suspenseful and mysterious aura. The words "BRING HER BACK" appear at the bottom, and text at the top credits the film to Danny and Michael Philippou.

It was coffee and kitchen work for me.

But yeah.

Blue 9 (they/them) @odinscrow.bsky.social · 1d

Handy to know.

That said, I regularly use Pinterest to build character looks. I mean, I'm not making art, but it's got its uses. Is there something actively harmful about Pinterest outside the AI that's shoved into everything as it is?

‼️ REMOVE AIslop from your PINTEREST results.‼️
Let's see how true this is....

1. Go to ‘Refine your recommendations’ and remove everything related to ‘generative AI interests’.

(As if anyone who visits the site for reliable references would be interested in that...)

Thanos was a self-obsessed, incurious mass murderer with zero imagination, and insisting he was right probably means you are too 🤣

But Magneto actually is right, as we're currently witnessing IRL.

Risus, but Tribe 8 hooked me first, showed me that a crunchy game could be deeply weird and terrifying.

Blue 9 (they/them) @odinscrow.bsky.social · 2d

Risus, but for the love of Glorb, do NOT tell S. John it's an indie game!

Wil (He/Him) @rivetgeek.aggregatecognizance.com · 2d

Technically, it was Over the Edge, but I didn't realize it at the time. Fate Core war the game that did it for real.

Thought Punks 🎲 TTRPGs + Punk 👩‍🎤 @thoughtpunks.com · 2d

For tons of folks, there was that -one- game that blew the doors open and showed what #TTRPGs could be. The one that started the #IndieGame rabbit hole.

What was YOUR "gateway" indie #TTRPG? The first one that made you realize a whole other world was out there?

Let's be frank (pun intended), the narrative structure of this book is nuts. Walton's retelling of Frankenstein's account of his experience that includes his own retelling of the Creature's account of HIS own experience
