Freelance writer on tabletop roleplaying games. I was paralyzed in a fall on Christmas Day 2025. Fun! He/him. Opinions are my own.
Pinned
I posted a not fun update to my GoFundMe. I fell and broke my back. I'm almost certainly paralyzed for life. I'll start a new GoFundMe when I know more what my life will look like in the future, but until then donations will help with lost income and my mom to pay for gas and VERY expensive parking.

This is good news, and enough Rs voted yes that it would override a veto. Not sure if they'd vote to do that, but this is encouraging.

Genuinely scratching my head right now trying to figure out what their problem is and why a *store* is posting like this, even a video game store.

Everything is so dumb right now.

The total NSF budget was 9 billion. I doubt they spend 89% of it on quail.

Say what you will about Dropkick, they have always been ready to brawl with Nazis. Not just metaphorically, there's multiple videos of Ken Casey kicking the shit out of some Nazi fuck at their shows.

This is really one of those "READ THE ARTICLE" moment. They want AI companies to use a dedicated API and PAY to get Wikipedia content instead of just scraping it as regular traffic. That's all.

Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.
Hoping that @molly.wiki can help explain.

I worked at a grocery store for 7 years and every time they made us do those "Anonymous" surveys I lied my ass off

I saw theft all the time. That store didn't pay us enough at all, employees and customers alike were desperate

Fuck corporations, people come first
When I was a teenager, I applied for a job at a grocery store. One of the questions was something like "you catch your coworker stealing food. They say its to feed their family. What do you do?"

If you selected any option other than "report it" you got kicked out of the application with a denial.

Texas A&M decided to publicly cancel my Ethics class, and share a false statement that I declined to provide information, which made it impossible for [them ] to request an exemption. See for yourself, if this statement is true.

They are getting creative!
