Mid Fimbulwinter

This is getting ridiculous. When will people learn to use harder-to-crack keys like '6' or '9'?

"Move fast and break things," say the people who, in an uncanny coincidence, are responsible for breaking the entire planet at a terrifying speed.

And lo! Kathye appearid and we hung out Sharing draughtes from the bottel so sharpe and so cleane Glaunsinge eyne Holdinge hondes Twynne heigh-maintenaunce machynes Ich am goinge to make it Thrugh thys yeare Yif it slaye me Ich am goinge to make it Thrugh thys yeare Yif it slaye me #mountaingoats

My last game played was Baldur's Gate 3. Unfortunately, it was an evil playthrough, so we're talking numerous crimes against humanity. For those who know, I have the Infernal Robe and am on target to recruit Minthara when I get to Act 2.

I feel like people should be more broadly aware of furries, because they are by and large an excellent example of living your weird joy without harming anyone; and we need more of those.

Every aspect of life as a gay man is unimaginably better than it was when I was born in the mid 80s. We beat the plague that was killing us by the hundreds of thousands and then won broad social and civic equality.

After yesterday’s marathon I’m quite tired but wanted to draw something to get back into it after a break. a mari of stars and moon

Guillermo Del Toro dropping another one liner that’s exactly how I feel about AI slop, the “punishment” is built in

Depending on the kind of tree, it can take centuries to grow them back. Google should have to pay enough to cover maintaining the land, including forestry and rangers, for long enough to grow it all back. In the same spot - you don't get to build there now.

People still think Mariah Carey just woke-up sounding like that one morning, smdh. You think she dresses-up like a 4th-C Greek Saint every year because she wants to!?

Solar farms in the Gobi are cutting dust storms. A study of 17 farms found the panels slow surface winds by more than 9% and make soil up to 17% less erodible, reducing springtime dust by about 352,000 tonnes a month. RenewEconomy buff.ly/bambHT8 #ShareGoodNewsToo

why do people call LLM training on public website data “AI Copyright Infringement” when “six finger discount” is right there

Far too much of this going on in the neighbourhood chats at election time

A Coptic magical spell (late 6th-early 7thc. CE) for obtaining a beautiful singing voice. Written for Severos, son of loanna, it invokes Davithe Eleleth, the seven archangels, and the Holy Father starrywisdomsect.tumblr.com/post/8311774...

I now have permission to share something I hoped would be revealed with much more fanfare I spent more than 3 years as one of the writers of #MassEffect4 It was one of the greatest privileges & GLORIOUS challenges of my life So when I say I am devastated by the end of #MassEffect I REALLY mean it

broke a man the first time i told him this. He came up to me and said "I just don't like tattoos" and I said "well, I'm not trying to have sex with You" and I saw something permanently rotate inside him

"I have been challenged to a duel," she said. "For kissing a woman." "Did she consent?" the swordmaster said. "Yes, but men courting her did not." "Ah. How many?" "Are these men good?" She gave three names. "Far below your level." "Excellent!" She rose. "There are more women I want to kiss."

Common thread: conservatives valuing identity (parent-child here) over actions (why does it matter that the parent was abusive? It's FAMILY!)

Every article has the same premise: Young people are characterizing their normal, happy childhoods as abusive and going "no contact" with their parents over minor disagreements. Every article also, late in the text, blithely acknowledges that this premise is false. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/14/h...

This is the disease for which I research and advocate: #MECFS. Even mild presentation is life-changing, and this is what severe looks like. People are surprised so many of us were athletes. They want to believe this can only happen to people who were already unwell. www.bbc.com/sport/athlet...

Dear DC. Please delete my previous e-mail, as my pitch has some aspects I need to rewrork. I have just been informed the Reverse Flash is not a sexual position. Yours Faithfully. Kieron

Eating the rich is only revolutionary if we also remember to feed each other.

This is, at present, true. The reason there's so much pressure to shove AI into *everything* is that a lot of rich people *want* this to be true, and have pinned their futures on making it so before too many people figure it out.

Holy shit

Now let me let you in on a little secret: This is why the best plan is to let people figure out what facilities they belong in, then enforce the rules or laws about appropriate behavior equally.

Absurd outcomes happen when the ideological claim that changing sex is impossible makes contact with the biological reality that every single aspect of sex that could be visible to an observer is in fact changeable.

this goes incredible places and I love everyone involved

Imagine if your group is facing multiple violent life threatening scandals & yet you’re still ripping Canadian Paralympians out of their chairs.

Mayor & councillors wont say a word.

I posted this when Butch Guice died last year: bsky.app/profile/womz...

They imprisoned him. They tortured him. They tried to forget about him. They didn't plan on him getting out. This Summer, Jason Statham is turning a paradise into hell. OMELAS No one's walking away from this.
