Tiny, colorful baby scallops — a total cuteness overload in one dish! You might think, “This person posts the same creature every year!” But honestly, seeing the same life return year after year is something truly wonderful𓂃🫧‪

Ngl, it's fuckin weird to me that public personalities feel the need to communicate if they're in a relationship or not with another public personality. Like, I feel like that should be a normal boundary that it's no one else's business about who dates who.

Well we've had our first Steam reviews falsely accusing us of using AI art. One for a 2017 game, and one for a game where the art was made in 2022 by the same trusted art team that we used for years. We don't use it and these false reports suck.

Corporations are facing major "buyers' remorse" after replacing experienced workers w/AI. Surveys reveal 55% of employers who restructured their workforce for AI regret the decision due to drops in quality/lost institutional knowledge/declining customer satisfaction. www.forbes.com/councils/for...

forbes.comWhy Companies Regret Laying Off Workers For AIRather than moving to cut headcount, success with AI often starts by asking hard questions about which work genuinely benefits from automation.

Pitch: Secret of Nimh but from the POV of the over-worked, white collar guy at Nimh desperately trying to convince everyone that hyper-intelligent rats have made a democratic society with advanced technology, and actual goddamn magic, under some farmers rosebush in the middle of nowhere Maryland.

Along with the prior repost of UK being halfway to net zero and Australia getting free electricity from renewables there are a lot of these quiet victories going on. The fossil fuel industry is in full thrash and thunder trying to assert how irreplaceable it is but inch by inch we’re getting there.

At lunchtime yesterday, Texas solar and wind generation crossed over 50 GW output for the first time ever. Together, the two sources supplied nearly two-thirds of Texan power needs at that time.

Zines are now a federal crime in the United States. They are setting precedent to go after anyone they want for writing or reading anything they don't like.

Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada wasn’t even at the protest — his wife was — but prosecutors are pressuring him into giving up his permanent resident status because he allegedly moved a box of zines the day after. Now that he’s going to trial, he’s looking at decades behind bars and deportation.

Also caught up in this case: Elizabeth Soto got 50 years for "providing material support" to terrorists... by printing zines (which included feminist lit, anti-AI rants, and poetry about losing a sibling to cancer) and being in a leftist book club. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

At this point, it’s clear as day that Democratic Socialists are more in line with what most democrats want than the weak, sniveling, moderate establishment dems. You reap what you sow. They’re trying to frame this as if the party is being stolen, but it feels like it’s being taken back to me.

I remember learning about the Hays Code in film school and how it made it so that any amoral protagonist had to meet karmic justice by the end of the film and going “wow, that’s really silly” and then once a week I log online and see people argue that we need stuff like that now or it’s problematic

@cantwell.senate.gov @murray.senate.gov Hey I'm a constituent! No! No, every time. This war is stupid. Stop using my fucking tax dollars for it, especially to clean up Trump's stupid mistakes.

PBS News@pbsnews.org

The Pentagon has told senators it needs roughly $80 billion, mostly to cover the cost of the U.S. war against Iran, adding to an already sizable military spending boost sought by President Donald Trump. https://to.pbs.org/4vvitam

Amberstar (1992) by Thalion Software was a CRPG that debuted on the Amiga and Atari ST, later ported to DOS. In this epic adventure, players start off with literally nothing (not even a class!) before embarking on a quest to save the land of Lyramion by assembling the Amberstar. (a wandering thread)

AI: -Is damaging poor and marginalized communities with data centres -Is making your computers and games more expensive -Is causing mass layoffs -Is forcing slop into work pipelines when it makes the process worse -Is increasingly hated by the public Execs: “…you know, i stick my dick in it”
