Toy-Fu buys and sells Transformers toys, with all of our profits going to the fine people at Mary's Meals! We started in 2009 and have raised over £260,000 so far. Fair prices are always offered, and donations are always welcome.
We're going to need to get a lot more of these in by the end of March, aren't we?
Wild King Optimus Prime is finally all tooled-up now that Skyreport has arrived! Easily the line of the year. Can't get enough.

Saw this adorable French animation ad and I had to share it over here! The style looks familiar but I can’t my finger on what group it is. Any ideas?

HR departments countrywide need to start treating gendercrit employees as potentially hostile. As soon as you are required to interact with one, you dust off the rulebook, you dot every eye and cross every t, and you assume bad faith at every turn.
They are a threat to every organisation.

my very first experience with internet virality was a live-blog of the Sochi opening ceremonies which lightly blew up on Facebook so I was getting angry comments from people who believed I was doing very poor on-the-ground sports journalism instead of shitposting from my couch with a bottle of wine

Abuse, then, appears to be a responsibility that involves priority and immediacy.
The greater responsibility appears to be to the person receiving the abuse right now.

Whatever else it can do, this tech adds work and erodes trust. The extra work is time-wasting and wearying, and I resent the erosion of trust most deeply. I cannot believe it is healthy for society to be ever less sure that anything you encounter is the real thought or expression of a fellow human
I spend so much time verifying everything now from art to cited sources to photos to historical references to citations to quotes to legal and medical information that it's really hard to fathom how much work AI has collectively added to the world, not reduced
Here's the reality this example illustrates:
It's not even just about people blindly trusting what ChatGPT tells them. LLMs are poisoning the entire information ecosystem. You can't even necessarily trust that the citations in a published paper are real (or a search engine's descriptions of them).

as always with wild saint lore, I’m just as interested in WHY certain legends stick. there’s something really moving in the idea of centuries of Catholics repeating and repeating a story where Mary’s miracle was saving two men from homophobes

tumblr just brought this to my attention (i have discovered the queer leftist catholic corner of tumblr and it is a delight), and i want to make sure @clairewillett.bsky.social knows about it too:
The Madonna di Montevergine, mother of LGBTQ Catholics
For queer Catholics, this icon of Mary is a reminder that her loving care and protection extends to all her children.
