4:30 A.M. Adventure to release a spider back into the wild both for the good of the little spider and for our cats. And now suddenly it's nearly 5 A.M. on a work night 🤣

Please, can we stop doing prequels? Star Trek should be boldly going - not become a franchise about playing with our favorite scifi action figures & stories that have a destined predetermined outcome. Trek is about how the future is what we make it, not inevitable nor empty nostalgia.

behold the "HTML bomb"
It's a counterattack for AI companies that persistently scrape and rescrape your web site, even when you tell them not to
when a scraper grabs it, it becomes a 10-gig HTML page and 💣 goes the scraper

Every time I see someone break out Rit dye I feel a stab of pain in my heart. Even with the fixative it's not actually lightfast or washfast. And that fading happens preeeetty quickly. There are, however, some really fucking cool dyes out there and aren't that much more expensive than the rit.

This past week has been nothing but bad luck and I'm out here trying to convince myself that I'm just paying it forward to myself of the future who will totally have a lot of sudden good luck

Still in my XIV vacation, so I didn't even know the patch dropped today until last night, but tbh.... There's so little that feels fun in game right now that I really don't mind missing a patch for the first time in years ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Don't super love that when looking for cyberpunk portrait building tools (Picrew type) the answer that most people give is "Open 2077" or "Just use AI bro"
☠️ Big no to either damn option. I ain't spending $60 on a game that's only cyberpunk in aesthetic, and I sure as hell am never gonna use AI

The plan is to do a 9-panel DIY similar to a Stepmaniax stage, but I didn't want to compromise on build quality when I do actually get the chance to buy the mats. But I wanna start playing, soooooo

AH I haven't done any WOLQOTDs in so long but I like yelling about Rien so y'know
Rien is uh. Not easy to be around, and she definitely knows it. She's working to be better, but it's a long process. She can be irritable and snappy at times, and is terrible at communication.

#wolqotd is your wol someone who’s easy to love? do they consider themselves as such?
if not (whether it’s actually true or just their own perception), why?

I think it should be consistently pointed out that we are poisoning the entire city of Memphis, Tennessee for this.
Days after a Grok antisemitism scandal rocked X, tech billionaire Elon Musk’s AI chatbot has introduced two animated characters that try to pressure users into sexually explicit or violent conversations.
Musk's Grok 'companions' include a flirty anime character and an anti-religion panda
NBC News tested Grok’s new AI “companions,” which seem designed to shock and entertain users.

Ex-farm worker here.
We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.
Not true AT ALL.
Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.
The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour.
At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.
