If you think I’m vote shaming you for not voting, you are absolutely fucking correct: you are shameful.

Hey for the folks coming over in the recent wave, welcome! Reskeets work better than likes, but of course I mostly do the latter out of habit so 🤷

I see the second great exodus from Twitter has begun in earnest. Will I actually remember to use this place this time?

The mumbai level of Hitman is the biggest crock of shit I've seen, the idea that anyone in that city would see you choking out some rich fuck in a hand tailored suit and run to call for help instead of asking if they could split the proceeds if they help you is why we need more sensitivity readers

This is absolutely correct; I will happily accept a double-digit tax on my transactions in exchange for a platform just operating well and getting the fuck out of my way
patreon continually getting worse frustrates me greatly because it's literally a money printing middle-man service where all you've gotta do is keep the lights on and comply with banking laws, but instead they hoover up venture capital just to flail endlessly and make things worse for their users.

I started blocking my access to social media on my phone during working hours so I could be more productive but it turns out it makes my life satisfaction better too

I should probably learn a lesson here

Gosh darn it now I have more worries about AI
One thing I am wondering: will there be an equivalent to the SEO battles for flooding/priming an AI dataset with specific info that promotes your causes / denigrates others? Imagine a concerted effort to discredit/steer away people from the CDC for instance…

Thanks to @juicysteak117.gay 's anti-recommendation, I just subjected 7 other adult humans in a Bad Movie Night group to Exit to Eden, and honestly? Top notch terrible pic. Fit the bill perfectly.

While "international law" is meaningless in a world that keeps asking "you and what army," this kind of shit is not what tends to accompany normal, reasoned defense actions

one constant in protests are the well-meaning people who haven’t spent much time around cops and try to reason with them, only to be met with immediate violence

Ugh, no, we can't seriously be doing 4'33" discourse, are we? I refuse to care about John Cage if I can avoid it.

Big mail day the other day; got in @innavjuzhanina.bsky.social's STUNNING witch (FINALLY came across the Atlantic), and @eleonorpiteira.bsky.social's Aloy that I'm gifting to a friend. Can't wait to see both of them on walls!

I also was looking through a videogame artbook and not even ONE (1) artist was named. In an artbook.

No wonder we're not human beings in so many people's eyes. Just a mysterious entity that magics art into being. Out of sight, out of mind.

Following fantasy artists here and on the other place has led to much cool art on my phone screen and some extra cool art as prints on my wall. Highly recommend.
