Getting real tired of being angry at the world all the time. Hard to maintain the energy to be creative and focus on what I want/need to be doing.
But then, that's the point, isn't it.
I have a LONG list of people, orgs, and concepts I want to tell to fuck off.

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.
Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI'
The latest GDC survey also found that managers are more likely to use generative AI than their employees.

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

Remember folks, there are proven ways that blurring effects on photos can be undone to show the info behind them. Dont fall for this stuff, cancel your Nitro and yell like hell at them. We dont stop until they concede fully and promise no more.
Discord advises UK users that they "may be part of an experiment" where instead of their age verification data never leaving their phone, it will now actually leave their phone

If you live in the US, call your fucking representatives and tell them that repealing Section 230 is a horrible idea. If Section 230 is gone, you can kiss Bluesky goodbye.
Reminder that they're still trying to repeal section 230 (thereby making platform holders like bsky legally responsible for content posted by their users etc etc)
There is still a need for you to blow up your rep's phones on this if you enjoy being able to do things like "post" or "have an porn"

New Year 2026 - Morning After
Yes yes, it's late, but better late than never or something.
Looks like the girls had a particularly good time partying the night before, but now comes the cleanup on the morning after. Some are faring better than others.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."
Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.
It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

Discord posted an update abt their age verification - I feel the need to inform people that all of these things were already true last year when they had that data breach that exposed people's IDs. Bad actors got into a customer support account that had access to tickets with people's IDs in them.

And because you can't buy a permanent licence anymore, it'll just be gone.

therefore, doing your part to pressure your reps to defend internet speech is one (of many) ways to help!
