Any of you history buffs have any recommendations for history books on the Ottoman Empire, specifically the era of the Reign of the Sultanas (1534 to 1715)?

“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”
Black text on a yellow background - This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing. Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.

Since Bethesda doesn't seem interested in making any new games at all (Oblivion remastered released & Fallout 3 remastered coming) this probably won't be an issue

Unfortunately, even if the fans try to ignore the show Bethesda has declared it canon.

Normally that would mean fuck all, but in this case that means it will affect future games.

I'm not seeing this as "canon", I'm choosing to see it as one person's playthrough epilogue that we are watching.

They can say whatever they want, they still won't invalidate everyone's personal playthroughs no matter what anyone says.

To me, this is like watching someone play a mod

Hello! I know a lot of my followers are from the west and I would like to ask that if you have money to spare, please commission some Filipino artists right now that are doing commissions for a cause to help fund the repairs from the recent (and upcoming) super typhoons.

Links to them in replies!

Hey @teenvogue.com - just saw you laid off all your political staff. Nice to see you cave and kiss the ring rather than show journalistic integrity and hold the line. Given how solid your reporting has been in the past, this is particularly disappointing.

I am not owed anyone's time or attention (not even my partner's) and neither are you. Block away & LLAP
willoremus.com Will Oremus @willoremus.com · 20d
Blocking hatemongers is one thing but this trend of using mass block lists to avoid hearing from people who might or might not hold points of view you expect to disagree with is unhealthy imo and hurts the platform.

Bluesky was better off with folks like Margaret Mitchell and Giada Pistilli on it.
Margaret Mitchell, who was famously fired from Google after co-authoring the seminal "Stochastic Parrots" paper, has been posting on X lately because she is caught up in mass blocklists of AI industry people on Bluesky, making the platform borderline unusable for her. Here she's on X quote-tweeting fellow AI ethics researcher Giada Pistilli, who is in the same boat. Pistilli said: I really wanted 🦋 to work, but it looks like I’m on the worst block lists out there. Oh, well. Mitchell said: I think what many 🦋 Bsky users may be overlooking is that they’re blocking people in positions of influence *who want to listen to them*. As someone influentialish in AI ethics, it’s important for me to know what creators, critics, Luddites, etc., are thinking and seeing. Mitchell added in a second post: I’m an advocate in tech directly aligned with a lot of their values in the very spaces where decisions that affect them are being made. I need the stats, articles, hot takes…all the deets they can give me so I can be prepared when talking to regulators,academics, techies, etc

New awareness campaign
A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

With SNAP benefits going to shit because of rich assholes and corruption running rampant through politics I'd like to point your attention to a Clinton.

No, not one of those Clintons. This Clinton. Clifford Clinton.

A hard truth is that the search for artificial general intelligence as a commercial tool is fundamentally a reproduction of slavery. Not because computers are people or anything so silly, but because of the impetus: To acquire the products of humanity without the need for a human to consent.
