I'm old enough to remember when Stealth used to harass my colleagues at RPGFan (of course, mostly the women).

Y’all have GOT to stop uncritically sharing Stealth’s posts without checking your sources!

I can’t find a source for when and where Miyamoto supposedly said this or who translated it ANYWHERE and yet my timeline is flooded with takes on it.

The government said they aren’t releasing SNAP benefits in November — but ALDI is helping families out. Their Thanksgiving meal bundle feeds 10 people for just $40! 🦃 Available now through Christmas Eve, it includes 21 items (like a 14-lb turkey + sides). Share this with everyone!

There are only 1,490 people in Shepherdstown, WV.

That is the entire town protesting as cars drove through it.

Look, it’s really straightforward to get a publisher as a new name indie in 2025. Simply do 95% of the work making and marketing your game, and if your metrics are trending towards almost certain success, a publisher will swoop in to promise the remaining 5%, deliver 3%, and collect 75%

WOW! Protesters created a HUGE human sign on San Francisco’s Ocean Beach reading “No Kings YES on 50” to support California’s Prop 50 and stand up against Donald Trump’s fascist regime

Variation on a meme:

God: In my book I invented the Golden Calf as a cautionary tale

Evangelicals: At long last, we have created the Golden Calf from classic novel, The Bible

Texas has more Democratic voters than any state other than California. Nobody gets written off. Frogs Together Strong.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

“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.

For anyone else who uses Firefox and has been trying to figure out how to disable all the AI features: windowsreport.com/firefox-now-...

(Also, along with all the rest of these steps, if you right click on an image & get offered an AI chatbot, you can hover over that offer to remove the chatbot.)

Firefox now lets you disable AI — just not regular users

Mozilla now lets enterprises disable AI in Firefox. Regular users must rely on hidden about:config tweaks instead of a simple switch.

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

The Obama Hope poster, but it's a frog and it says "Hop"

I'm realizing I'm probably doing better than I thought because you get +2% damage resistance each time you fail and I think I'm only at 40%? maybe 42? which means I've gotten to the third level in 20 runs but I can't find the way to easily check in-game

Mr. Mamdani gave a broad smile and said yes.

“I’ve purchased marijuana at a legal cannabis shop,” he said.

Mr. Sliwa said that he had used medical marijuana after he was shot in a taxi in 1992.

“When I was shot five times and I got Crohn’s disease, I did use medical marijuana, yes,” Mr. Sliwa said.

Mr. Cuomo’s answer was terse.

“No,” he said grimly.

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.

This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

reminded of when they showed the very first PIXAR short to tech guys and they all asked “what program did you use to make it funny” and they had to very gently explain that it was the people that made it funny, not the code

It’s tiresome at this point, but again, their entire pitch is “wouldn’t it be great if there were no such things as talent, craft, and skill,” and what that means is a bland, slop-filled world. www.businessinsider.com/marc-andrees...

Didn't go to film school? Don't worry. Legendary investor and movie buff Marc Andreessen doesn't think that will be an issue for future creatives.

During an episode of "Monitoring the Situation," the podcast for the venture capitalist firm that Andreessen cofounded, A16z, he said advancements in AI technology — like OpenAI's Sora 2 — have made it possible for a new type of filmmaker to emerge.

"The filmmaker with no visual skill, or access to a set, or to a camera, or to actors, but with an idea," Andreessen said on Friday. "It's going to start with shorts and animated things and so forth, but it's going to work its way up to full movies."
