Every so often we host "PIZZA CLUB".
The rule: bring toppings if they're interesting, or just come and eat.
Last night's pizzas:
1. Onions four ways (confit/pickled/ raw/deep fried)
2. Smoky pineapple/jalapeno
3. Quail egg/Romanian pickles
4. Persimmon/heirloom tomato/halloumi

it’s funny that the people most adamant that AI is sentient are also the least likely to be sentient themselves

These two pages from Lynda Barry's "Syllabus" did more to heal my fear of bad drawing than four years of art school
Page from Lynda Barry's "Syllabus": What is a bad drawing? There's the drawing you are trying to make and the drawing that is actually being made - and you can't see it until you forget what you were trying to do Page from Lynda Barry's "Syllabus": On liking and not liking our drawings. Two people look at a drawing of a dog and a beaver. One says "I do not like Dog and Beaver!" The other says "Ah! Yet it survives your dislike! Astonishing!"

This is just going to always be my go-to response to this kind of thing anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...
I do understand: you want permission. There's a machine in the corner wrapped in human skin that makes things out of shit and blood to look like whatever you want (as long as you don't look too closely). You gave one to your teacher and they didn't notice. Your boss told you to use it after they laid off half the team and it was fine. You fed one to your kids and they liked it. You want to know you can use it sometimes without me thinking less of you. You don't need me to believe it's useful, you just want me to be polite about it. But I am a hater, and I will not be polite. The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.

"we need revolutionary stories now more than ever" bitch we need an actual revolution. stories that satisfy our urge for justice create an artificial sense of catharsis that placates us and makes us less likely to seek justice in real life

This mail theft poster from my street unintentionally goes so hard. Run Lola Run-ass package thief
Poster stuck to a pole with bright red tape. Poster features three low-key sexy photos of a man running with a stolen package, taken from multiple angles. It reads "VOLEUR DE COLIS, SOYEZ VIGILANTS" (package thief, be vigilant). It looks like a poster for the movie Run Lola Run.

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

Item #6 in my latest "Linkfest" newsletter: buttondown.com/clivethompso...
A Chrome browser error page displays the familiar “Aw, Snap!” message, indicating that something went wrong while loading a webpage. A pixelated frowning file icon with Xs for eyes appears at the top left. Below, the error code reads “Out of Memory,” suggesting the browser ran out of system resources. The page includes a “Reload” button in blue on the bottom right

my mom taught me there's two kinds of businesses: hot dog stands and art galleries

- hot dog stands protect territory and keep competition off their turf
- art galleries benefit from more adjacent art galleries, cluster together to amplify reach/support

youre an art gallery, not a hot dog stand

Play and discuss as if you were friends trying to get to know each other better, rather than as if you were rival squawking merchants trying to sell competing goods in a marketplace. The world is full of friends and potential friends, and it's much lonelier and more frightening when it isn't.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.

For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!
Getting off US tech: a guide
I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

Burnout is clinically understood as a combo of 6 factors—work overload, lack of control, insufficient rewards, breakdown in community, absence of fairness, & value conflicts—and only a fraction of it is under your control. Burnout is a systemic problem, so be kind to yourself and hard on the system.

Hey gang I've had to learn recently that the whole "burning out" thing is real so if you find yourself being panicked every waking second that you're not working on something, despite those seconds being very rare, you should maybe listen to the signals and take an intentional break before you crash

"The problem with AI isn't that it can do your job. It can't. The problem with AI is that your MBA-brained boss's boss doesn't know how your job works and thinks AI can do your job at fractions of a penny on the dollar, and hears the siren song of 'maximize shareholder value'."

MBA-brain is real.

didn't expect to feel so much queer joy reading a fake Dilbert comic but here we are
pseudonymjones.bsky.social pseudonym jones @pseudonymjones.bsky.social · Jul 3
“last fall I had this idea for a zine about Dilbert quitting his job and trying to learn to be happy and coming to terms with the fact that he’s trans actually” (posted 4/18/2022)
A sketch of Dilbert sitting at his desk, looking worn out. “There used to be a light inside of me,” he thinks, “when did I let this place snuff it out?” Dilbert, now with slightly longer hair, eyeliner, and earrings, is putting on a scarf. After wrapping it around her neck, it springs up like her tie did in the comics. She smiles, her mouth visible for the first time.

I get this question a lot. I don't have strong views on how transmasc people should dress, but since I often get the question, I've thought about it a bit. Will share some thoughts in this thread. 🧵
Someone on Twitter writes: "Derek would you ever consider doing a thread on how transmascs can dress well and have clothing that helps hides hips and stuff? Only advice I've gotten are straight leg jeans and a boxy shirt"
