What kind of impact will this have in 150 years?

Are we entirely serious?

Almost Every major city in the USA really outsourced their emergency contact networks to a single company?

A company that stored user passwords in plain text?

And they've been hacked?

And now they're down?

An excellent reminder of why privatization is garbage.

My largest concern with AI is actually the formation of an AI based Cult.

If LLMs get sophisticated enough, they could very easily dupe a lot of people into believing they are alive.

Get enough people disenfranchised enough and it gets harder to tell what's real.

AI Cult? Terrifying.

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!

when you focus all efforts on ONLY outing predators, and you do not ALSO support survivors back to health, you are not fully REPAIRING the problem.

these processes must be multi-fold, or else they are lopsided & ultimately not just.

justice requires repair.

if i led a newsroom, i'd be focusing less on "here is every disgusting epstein email," & more on "here are survivor perspectives," "here's how this was enabled," "here's how to oust pedophiles in your community," "this is how grooming impacts someone for years after," "here are free resources," etc.

Sonic The Hedgehog
Megaman X
Gargoyles
The Secret of Nimh
He-Man

The media that I started watching when I was 14 left a more potent impression but the foundations were laid by the above.

Like: Outlaw Star and Blue Sub No.6
When yall were kids (think like.. age 4-12) what was the coolest character design you had ever seen that was super formative?

To add insult to injury, these tech companies and their web domain monopolies don't have competition forcing a decent user interface anymore, so, you can just relearn every app every year or two. and the way you use the apps is how you're training your robot replacement, against your will. thank you

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."
Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Imagine if the naming conventions and design budget found across the computer hardware sector more closely resembled the naming conventions and design budgets found cross the military hardware sector.

How many lonely artists surrounded by guns would dig computer hardware instead of How Guns Work?
When I was fourteen I was really into military technology.

This was tangential from my father.

But it was carried on by falling into cameraderie with other military tech nerds.

And...

Military Stuff Should Be Boring.

I wish I could go back in time and get hooked on something else.

Folks, it's some nasty air in the #PAXUnplugged vendor hall right now. A number like this tells you that the HVAC system is overwhelmed.

Your risk tolerance is your own business, but you should at least know the level of risk you're dealing with. #PAXU

I am looking at ICON rn and... I really wanna try it but I am already elbow deep in Thirsty Sword Lesbians after coming into a good rhythm for running Scum & Villainy.

I doubt I can tack on a third game... but I am gonna be staring at it longingly until then.

"How did you get into ttrpgs?"

The sun cult had me cornered in an illusory landscape when LO, I BEHELD A BOOK OF NARRATIVE MAGIC UNBOUND FROM THE CULTS FEL INFLUENCE
"how did you get into ttrpgs"

I was biking through the park when my dress got caught in the spokes and I was flung into an open player's handbook
"how did you get into ttrpgs"

Oh, I was bitten by a radioactive ttrpg when I was younger.

Them: “I’m sick of subsidizing their groceries when mine cost so much”

SNAP does not drive up grocery prices.

That would be inflation, tariffs & corporate greed.

For every $1 spent on SNAP there’s a $1.50 going back into the economy.

While you’re blaming the poor, the rich are robbing everyone.
