writing by AI proponents has the same disordered quality of online journals written by the desperately ill, with the caveat that the ill often seem like good people befallen by misfortune, and not craven maniacs who stole a cursed glowing object from a cave, refusing to put it back, as it ruins them

(for this post i’m doing an impression of a woman that’s been hit in the head very hard with one of the big swinging pendulums they use to test material hardness) you don’t understand. MOST democrats AREN’T running anti trans ads

*Clueless* I wonder who this was directed at

running a website that isn't transphobic or enshitified on the daily; nor is basic accountability,sadly not a requirement from what I've also seen. You still liking picks of teens on here or did you go back to x for that?

I hate Gay Halloween, what do you mean you're dressed as "Wallpaper-Eating Toad"

Previously I have posted about a Nintendo of Europe downloadable premium animated wallpaper that featured a bizarre Toad eating the wallpaper. The files have finally been datamined, allowing the Wallpaper-Eating Toad to be observed in never-before-seen maximum quality.

If you drive like this, I don't really care what happens to you! I don't think drivers like this have the capacity to think of other people as living beings. The only decent function of prison is to keep people like this out from behind the wheel of their cars

this is an insane way to frame this attempted murder. i hope that chud rots

NATHAN: And you actually meant that? WOMAN: Meant what? NATHAN: What you said. About it. WOMAN: I don’t understand. NATHAN: “So big” was how you put it. Like, is that just something you say? To men. Or were you being honest, is what I’m asking. WOMAN: You just got an Uber notification. NATHAN: Ok.

Martin Luther King was much more successful than Malcolm X for example. Before that, there was no need for a bloody civil war in most countries that abolished slavery. Just votes. Independence can also be bloodless. Gandhi in India, Walesa in Poland, Mandela in South Africa. The list is long.

One of my favorite sci-fi shows of the decade—of the century!—is celebrating its third anniversary today. Scavengers Reign was a shooting star🌠, poorly supported by HBO Max and then Netflix (as it was only available in a handful of countries), but I'm so glad this one season exists.

Brianna Wu teams up with racist, racist muppet and disgraced priest, Dasha Nekrasova, in a new podcast which promises to be as shitty as you're imagining it to be.

I’m significantly further left than Abdul on basically every issue at hand here, but accepting the premises of the average burger-American? This is a kill-shot.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume? Systems designer: Playtesters didn't like feeling beholden to a to-do list, so I've left room for player-directed goals as well as emergent gameplay created by overlapping systems.

Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume? Tech designer: Those are hooks for the mission designers. Our goal is to empower their creativity, not constrict it, and that requires leaving space for bespoke implementation.

You’re completely right. I didn’t give you all the clues, mister policeman. In fact, I gave you false information. This wasn’t just a mistake — it was a crime — and it won’t happen again.

Was trying to figure out what cynical angle this is coming from before I remembered that these smooth-brained cretins actually believe that the computer can feel pain

Castle Rat’s bassist, who is a plague doctor, splashed me with what I’m told is a forbidden potion of some sort. So I’ll shortly be undergoing a horrific transfiguration into some kind of wingèd beast.

to all the new people following me, hear me out first: fuck joe biden and fuck kamala harris, and fuck gavin newsom. 9/11 jokes are funny. free palestine. also, if you don’t like trans people, then turn around and leave. block me on the way out.

Streaming sucks shit. The convenience isn’t worth it for you, and it’s horrible for artists. Buy music.

2 Mello@2mello.net

YouTube hasn't paid out music streaming earnings to Distrokid for almost two months with no communication, so my income has been cut in half just for fun. It's a startling reminder that the entire streaming ecosystem could just go away overnight because a tech company lets it. Buy albums if you can.

I'm definitely not the first person to notice this but it's almost impossibly funny that the rechristened "Department of War" immediately lost a war

I went here and everyone had serious concerns about the safety of chickens making road-crossings
