ok yeah you really should physically go to a theater and see the fuckin 3 hour documentary about the spooky crime tech lady, it's really somethin else man

Old news but tankies are fuckin dumb, like you're trying to make people into commies with "North Korea is good actually" when: - China is right there - They have skyscraper trains - Yep still communist, if anything the "western propaganda" is that they aren't Like wow y'all are bad at propaganda

I ain't a fuckin tankie but if you put me in debate club and told me to argue the tankie position I would kick the shit out of anyone who sincerely believes in any of this

"In many East Asian cultures the number 4 is considered bad luck" and the entire cybersecurity industry is now like, oh yeah, I get it now

Cybersecurity professionals out here sending 4 to each other and laughing like an elementary schooler who just said 67

that one fuckin wired article I'm not gonna repost where they follow in the grand tradition of americans regretting leaving the country whining HOW DO I MAEK FRENNNNDSSS? and like make a fursona you fuckin idiot shit ain't that hard

Expat advice is always "people here usually have lifelong friends from school so if you want to break into social groups maybe learn the language and join clubs for your hobbies" meanwhile I'm out here with a phone full of gay animals who speak 10 words of english but one of them is barking

when your friend sets you up on a date with someone you turn out to be really into, call that type inference

Legalizing bathhouses in Minneapolis was a good thing but I was always skeptical it would actually survive contact with the cost of commercial rent and 3 months later here are what the activists who got it passed are talking about

Well hmmm ok twin cities leather does have that basement space they could always turn into legalized glory holes but the path to an actual bathhouse is probably several million dollars in capital away

I'm glad the AI backlash led to a new appreciation of unpolished "bad" art but let's stop pretending people were always into authenticity We loved expensive polished shit and ignored low budget amateurs with something real to say and that's why "democratizing art with AI" ever made any sense at all

"Your art doesn't need to look like a 100 million dollar Hollywood movie for people to pay attention to you just be yourself" was not actually all that true like 10 years ago I'm glad people looked into the AI slop abyss and came to their senses but let's not go back to appreciating Marvel movies

From now on the maximum amount of quality art is allowed to have is the subtle undercurrent of jank that pervades even the most refined CanCon The biopic about the guy who invented Blackberry is now the ceiling and we should be suspicious of anyone who rises above it

i think dogs are like busted tolkien elves like yeah they seem like they just want chase ball and eat treat their whole lives cause their bodies crap out when they're teenagers but if we could get em to 400 they'd start wanting to do biochemical engineering

Y'all don't understand how powerful I would be if money did not need to be exchanged for goods and services

thinkin about Torin's Passage (1995) and how there's that one endgame puzzle where you have to get past a floating monster by editing a YouTube Poop on magical crystals

Workshopping something, how is "No AI, just ML" as a slogan for when you make art/a program that does cool shit with like motion capture, but none of the text-to-image crap that came out of "AI" marketing Torn cause this is how the wiki entry on ML starts but maybe in pop science it still works?

I wonder if the first AI art tools had been designed around actually helping you draw instead of trying to recreate the user experience of commissioning an artist, maybe the tech industry wouldn't have completely botched its relationship with artists

I would like to continue making little code things to help artists out, I only get to code for corpo shit in my day job and want to use my power for good finally If you are an artist and find a thing on the computer that sucks ass and needs fixing, please complain to me about it

Flight back to Minneapolis with bright magenta hair sat next to a magenta haired trans girl watching Critical Role on her laptop with Kirby headphones and multiple flight attendants have assumed we are traveling together We have never met before We have not even had a conversation

I already have one satisfied customer in @knest.bsky.social who has been using this to make smooth gay furry ass spanking loops for the past couple weeks, now here it is in a convenient package for artists on all platforms and amount of ass cheek smacking in their art

In the interest of full disclosure I do want y'all to know I was in a meeting at work today about "how do we make our company seem more exciting in marketing" and my pitch was "have any of you heard of the meme Loss"

Gavin McKenna from the Toronto Maple Leafs Look up a picture of this boy tell me he ain't a fuckin Score First Ever NHL Career Goal Challenge To Unlock Travel To The Next Province and Draw 5 Cards-ass hockey player

I was promised Canadians booing the US national anthem at hockey games and Toronto y'all did not come through. Have we gone soft what happened to elbows up

Glad to see some thriving, proudly janky CanCon (the out of sync jumbotron live video at this Leafs game)

Ok so from the environmental storytelling I'm getting that the Leafs were the one institution successfully deposed in the 1968 global wave of popular insurrections

I have been taken to a Leafs game and I am confused, I don't understand hockey, can someone canadian tell me when the gay sex starts
