So Ed Zitron takes a break and anthropic immediately files totally not cooked numbers? Yeah that tracks. (This is a joke, it's probably just a very funny coincidence)

I was in a conversation about the inevitable collapse of "ai" companies and casually dropped "the problem with venture capital is eventually you run out of other peoples money" and I hope Thatcher heard that from hell and got real mad about it.

Yup, that's it. Possibly the best app I ever made started with a client stating "the UI should be like a cockpit" and a dev team experienced enough to say "no, that's stupid" but professionally. Everyone's first idea is bad and "ai" is designed to enable that.

I think the thing about AI and small business owners is that previously the design would have to be run past either a second person who know some amount of design, or they'd learn photoshop and some amount of design with it now they can ask the AI to do their bad design and the AI never says no

It must have been rather tempting to write Karlach to imply her bubbly, curious, loving personality is a mask to cover her "real" raging traumatized self, and I'm ever grateful they didn't.

First to avoid confusion: Putin is a war criminal that should walk head first into... let's say the Hague (hi bsky mods!) Having made that clear, my timeline is suddenly full of first name-buncha numbers looking accounts telling me the Russian bot networks are down and I find that strange.

Ukraine took out Yandex, (aka Russia's Google). Contrary to viral posts, this did NOT reduce the number of far-right social media posts. That was just misinformation about misinformation. skepchick.org/2026/10/ukra...

some guy: "I don't like fiction, I only like documentaries". me: "I have some bad news for you".

Playlist randomly pulled up Nobodies Wife so on a lark I googled Anouk to discover that she was, in fact, somebodies wife (and then a two more peoples wife after that). Annnnd then the section continued to describe her spouting terf nonsense and the whole exercise became a lot less fun.

You know how the structure of old school slasher films was such that any character seen engaging in lustful behavior was made a target for the killer? They should make a film with the same structure but it's set in DC and the deadly "sin" is dishonesty.

Yeah, this is a good take. All I have to add is, given the absence of the victims voice, talk of restorative justice seems off to me. We (the audience) are not the victim here. His videos made me feel good, now they makes me feel icky, so I won't be watching any more. Not punitively, practically.

Took niece on the merry-go-round spinning tea cup thing. Am now very queasy. Send help. (Niece had fun).

Erin Yvette (Scylla) has such a fun stage presence here!

Now treating "Thought experiment" as a red flag. 9 times out of 10 it's just a fancy way of saying you'd like to universalize your personal biases.

Really hard to narrow down to 9. Ask again tomorrow and the results will likely change.

My nine games. This was incredibly difficult. Should have been "My Ninety Games."

We all know the scene where the BBEG offers the party members to join him. The party members refuse, and nothing interesting is gained. So I decided to twist that a little bit...

But now comes the twist: I told each player: "don't say your answer out loud, just write it on a piece of paper and hand it to me" They all did. In the morning, they awoke to discover a magical ring suddenly appeared gift-wrapped at their camp site...

As the party was resting the night before going to confront the campaign BBEG, they each experienced a private, individual dream. In each dream, the BBEG showed up, and tempted them with things that their characters want and need and did the usual "join me!" thing...

LOL Discord just age locked me out of an nsfw channel, that I created, on my own server, for my nsfw games. Great system, well designed. Discord alternatives welcome.

Is anyone out there remaking Lemmings? If we insist on safe nostalgia bait instead of risky new ideas, the least I will ask for is that someone remake Lemmings. And keep it 2D please. Thank you.

"We act as stenographers and avoid pushing back when lied to our face so that we can maintain access" - all the press people who no longer have access to the white house. Who could have possibly seen this coming...

I love looking for apartments and never knowing if the photos on the site are real or an "ai" approximation of what the apartment would look like if it wasn't garbage.

10 months of planting the seeds for a major conflict in my D&D campaign popped off today. Moral debates were had, spells were slung, loyalties tested, good times!

I should move this game higher in my backlog

Even outside of romance, characters in Scarlet Hollow are governed by a complicated system that maps their perception of you across many different axes. How a character behaves, even if you're emotionally close, can vary significantly between playthroughs blacktabbygames.medium.com/creating-a-d...

Just doing my part to Streisand effect this post in the vain hope that this mod team is capable of learning things.

Just saw my first instance of an account getting nuked by mods over nothing in realtime, @dpad.fm got ethered because an account associated with it hates GenAI shit

Mamdani gonna make me soften my stance on electoralism. Until the FBI inevitably Fred Hamptons him that is. (Sorry gang I don't make the rules).

The City Reporter@thecityreporter.nyc

On Labor Day, Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced a new executive order to create the new Office of Worker Power, which will help workers connect with union organizers and educational resources to learn about their rights and, if they choose, to organize their workplaces.

Not gonna lie the news from Germany really set me spiraling today. I have German friends, heck, I have Polish friends. All are some version of "undesirable". We know where this story ends for them and I don't know how to help.

Watch watch they're gonna be surprised shocked picachu face that people don't have empathy for the dead bank of America parasite.

I'm currently running two D&D campaigns, one just had a dramatic confrontation between a player character and the woman who's father he sent to a doomed mission. The other? The other has a different tone :D (also, yes this *can* do infinity damage if used well, balance is for cowards 😎)

Looking at my wife's wedding ring and chuckling. wife, suspicious: what is it? me belting the lion king theme: IT'S THE CIRCLE OF WIFE!

Game low key said best thing you can do as a monarch is topple the monarchy and die about it. akab I guess. Honestly refreshing.
