My name is Patrick, I'm a cis-straight-white-man but I swear I'm always trying to be "one of the good ones."
I'm going to try and be better about using these logging sites for fun:

Finally got a chance to play this really fun and funny demo for what will be a fun and funny game! My friends made this and I’m extremely proud of them! Go wishlist it now! store.steampowered.com/app/3766220/... Wish listing indie games is very helpful and important for discovery!
Alright everybody, this is wild. A friend sent me this person in a sexy latex squirtle outfit, reverse image search didn’t work but I finally found the Instagram account that posted it
I was pretty sure it was AI generated, but couldn’t be sure, the stickers on the mirror looked particularly real. Other outfits were a little more uncanny and easier to figure out, like this one.
But then I came to this Beedrill outfit, it’s not necessarily more or less fake, but look at the background around the hips. AI is consuming so much sloppy photoshop that it’s including warped backgrounds around big butts! How weird and bleak is that!?
This is the most softball answer I’ve ever seen, fuck asking AI about your own kid firstly but secondly you can’t be impressed by this weaksauce response. Like that’s panda express fortune cookie fortune bad.
I always said mass recordings didn’t concern me because there aren’t enough humans to comb through it, the government can now use AI to go through thousands of hours to find things to attack people with. (This realization from watching 90s Law and Order and a Fed said “we had to transcribe this”)
Airbnb hosts are melting down over a new policy banning them from making guests complete tasks that “would typically be performed by a cleaner,” like “stripping the bed, taking trash offsite, or washing and putting away dishes.”

Democratic congressional candidate Brad Lander along with about 80 American and Israeli rabbis and activists were helping Palestinian olive harvesters when they were detained by Israeli forces. n.pr/486ZnwW
the most recent school shooting, in which three elementary school children and a teacher died, is on page 22 of the Sunday New York Times — in case you wanted to track how little we care about this now
Excellent reporting by @cerisecastle.bsky.social here.
Reminded of how in 2011 Egyptian police explicitly targeted protesters' eyes during the revolution, blinding or partially blinding dozens.
In LA, police and federal agents are shooting out the eyes of people protesting ICE.
I detailed the accounts of 5 young men who lost their eyes after protesting for @capitalandmain.bsky.socialcapitalandmain.com/he-went-to-d...
It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting.
Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.
1.) Why were Washington County officials telling constituents they didn’t have information about the ICE detention center when their own emails show they had?
2.) Why was Derek Harvey sending government emails outside the government?
3.) Did Washington County ever investigate this data breach?
Our EIC @midimyers.com thinks Insomniac's Wolverine is not fun to play, but as an X-Men fan, she's obsessed with the weird choices it made. Her review here:
These are great to play and especially good if you’re wondering who enjoys drawing/doodling but appreciates having some structure to what you’re making

San Diego, Ca- Large men with fragile egos don't need guns.
Our legal observer maintained distance from officers, was not in preventing their movement or proximity to an active detainment. They approached her while she was stopped and filming at a safe distance.
One of the things that also pisses me off is that in a vacuum, this technology is value-neutral. It's development in conjunction with the profit motive is what causes the worst aspect of it to manifest. The problem is not the technology itself, but is and has always been Capitalism.

On Friday night, ICE drove their cars at witnesses on a sidewalk then beat people linking arms in front of house, all as Frederick PD just watched. Watch the video.
