A year in the works to a public launch and it's cooking

I'm probably going to be a website league sicko for the foreseeable future and I hope you can understand that.
Here's a blog post about what it is (to me) and why you should use it

Nothing like looking back over your end of year photo haul and realizing you photographed the moon less than any other year on record where you were photographing the moon.
Anyway, enjoy some multiple lens shenanigans:

Centurions are incarnations of the Queen’s order manifested as avatars of violence. It is said that their power of these commanders does not dwindle with their numbers, and that the few who remain wield the ferocity of the hundreds who fought before them.

i don't think you should be openly hostile to people coming from Twitter but it is not remotely adversarial to ask why "Twitter making AI unavoidable" was the breaking point versus "every third poster is an unrepentant white supremacist who yearns for genocide of queer people and ethnic minorities"

Also think it's good to remember that under fascism and authoritarianism, laws and rules are selectively enforced to target undesirables, which also creates a culture of fear that this could be you if you step out of line and become undesirable
I think it’s important to insist on recalling, at all available opportunities, that this was specifically an attack on a trans instructor over an assignment about gender. Neither of those details are incidental; they are the center of the story
If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

My year-end anime post for @glorioblog.bsky.social is about finally watching Planetes and Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex and lamenting how their visions of corporate-controlled futures have so much more ambition than our actual stupid capitalist world.

Watching Science Fiction Anime 21 Years Later
As always, the people of the past have much more ambitious views of the future, even if that ambition is in how bad it'll get and why.

oh hey it's me talking about Hyper Light Breaker again (A game I enjoyed!)
The game was cancelled and most of the staff let go back in October, but someone put it on the steam sale and it looks like the publisher had to step in to clarify it's actually dead.
The whole thing is just really sad.
