Apparently, some Houston voters are putting their I Voted stickers on the Lorenzo Salgado Araujo memorial. Stephen Miller is ALREADY trying to scapegoat others for losing whatever races they lose in Texas and elsewhere. This is a vivid testament that for some voters, his murder squad is the reason.

Yo what the fuck Once again... You could never WATERBOARD this kind of shitty-parent admission out of me.

This is where "it's just trans sports bans" leads you, Democrats supporting overtly genocidal policies that would kill tens of thousands of trans people. But at least we'll be marched into the camps by someone in blue, right?

you’re nuts if you’re not using adguard or pihole or something tbqh, as well as using separate subnets for these things. my samsung has the second most blocked requests second only to a windows gaming PC lol. not even the cheap IoT devices compare

"Is Trump gonna enable PvP on the server" ha ha ha can we murder people in the streets because our guy lost an election, what a funny guy who means well!

I’m not going to link to the site because lol no, but hey I spent a fucking weekend doing unpaid security work because this chud decided to bring a Nazi protest to Worldcon years ago, walking past fuckers chanting blood and soil and threatening me and my friends so what the hell do I know.

Hey, so, it actually took a lot of people doing a lot of unpaid work for Jon Del Arroz to be properly marginalized from the SFF community, and now he’s back, and in one of the more widely read genre fan columns around. So I just have one question: @file770.bsky.social, what the actual hell?

Honestly several things are depressing about ai but the two that stand out are the eagerness of people to outsource thought because cognitive effort is uncomfortable, and the casualness with which people use the shiny, easy thing knowing it's bad for climate change

ABBOTT: Japanese developers today have unique names, like FromSoftware COSTELLO: From what ABBOTT: FromSoftware COSTELLO: I thought you said it was from Japan ABBOTT: It is COSTELLO: But what's the name of the developer ABBOTT: FromSoftware COSTELLO: The Software's From Japan, though ABBOTT: Yes

ABBOTT: Bloodborne was made in collaboration with Japan Studio COSTELLO: The Japanese Studio ABBOTT: They're both Japanese COSTELLO: Who is? ABOTT: FromSoftware and Japan Studio COSTELLO: Right the software is From a Japanese studio, what are they called? ABBOTT: [Seething] bsky.app/profile/jame...

scott galloway and jessica tarlov held an event here in town yesterday where “don’t impeach or waste time on investigations because ‘28” was the consensus position of the panel. so yeah, this is something to anticipate.

Given the shift in media ownership over the Trump era, Democrats REALLY need to learn to ignore media handwringing now. Because I have no doubt their every move for accountability will be attacked from every possible angle.

bluesky went from the most accepting social experience we've ever had online to literally fearing for our child's safety because of the far-right brigading Singal personally stirred up overnight in '24 he does not get a redemption arc for trying to turn down the volume on the mob he helped create

It’s good that New York won but it remains sort of troubling that American cities are in what increasingly looks like an asymmetrical warfare/insurgency situation vis a vis the federal government.

On Monday, I had to go through and sort all the slop that was flooding my inbox, declining all the obviously AI garbage so I could see real games people were trying to send me. I thought I was finished when I suddenly had a further 16 games in my inbox, all AI generated, all from the same developer.

It always comes back to this for me; if AI was so good, such a disclosure would be a selling point. If AI was everything these slop jockeys said it was, they should be proud to let people know their game was AI made. But the proof is in the pudding, and they can't stand that people don't want it.

guys the only way I can run this business is if I cook rats and the children I snatch from the playground behind my house why do you want me to fail? Why do you want to crush my dreamsssssss like thissssss 🥺

I think we *have* to figure this out - whether the role of human authority is at all constitutive of what law *is.* because many of the folks peddling AI are very much engaging in a political project that anticipates dismantling liberal constitutional democracy.

If a legal system likewise requires human beings assuming legitimate authority as they make judgments that bind other human beings, then the entire conversation about AI and the law is completely off the rails.

one of the (many) things that frustrates me about discussions about AI and legal practice is that everyone seems to assume that law consists entirely of a particular kind of reasoning, and the only way to critique the practice of law (and ergo AI's role in it) is whether the reasoning is "right."

This is the thing a lot of people don’t understand about the term “elites” as used by the Right. It *always* just means “you think you’re better than me?!”. That’s why they can conceptualize Presidents as Guys You Can Have A Beer With and Starbucks workers as “elites”. They despise our attempts to..

…be good people (that contempt drips from everything they say), and resent our belief that the world could and should be better than it is. They resent that. They perceive an implicit snooty judgement in us, and cannot believe we’re sincere. Thus “elites” and “virtue signalling”.

This is what I need denialists to understand: the AI evangelists' wildest fever dreams (sentience, the singularity, whatever-the-fuck) don't need to be real for the tech to be hugely consequential. A machine gun doesn't need to be superintelligent.

i personally don't believe you have to smile to look stylish. for instance: IG charlie_the_griffon

All companies are Lucy holding a football and artists without rich parents are Charlie Brown. All of them.

Democratic congresswoman Kathy Castor of FL-14 becomes the latest anti-transgender Democrat. When asked if she supports "biological males in girls sports," she cheerfully and forcefully says "THE ANSWER IS NO!" with a huge smile on her face, laughing. The number keeps growing.

i wish a very fuck you to every executive responsible for gutting and disappearing almost every single AA studio (and some of AAA) the past few years so they can, what? release no more games? they don't need to tbh they can just earn interest on the inhuman amount of money they already have

i feel like a flub because i'm sitting in wellington airport at 7am while trying not to cry because of the absolute state of our industry. I'm tired. i've had enough. i cannot take any more of this endless capitalist exploitation of our creatives so Jim McMoney can buy another holiday home

Jack Ross, CEO of Turning Point introduces an undercover reporter from Al Jazeera to a former UVF man who offers to do a contract killing for the right price. Ross talks about violence but says, once sting revealed, he was joking www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottis...

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

typically great stuff from @goldwagnathan.bsky.social on how indulging in the libidinal lust for slurs and dehumanization crosses ideological lines--and yet sets us all on the same dark path

School shootings being allowed to persist is a very under-discussed political reality shaping why my generation is more cognizant of the social contract being in tatters. You let us get ritually murdered in school and didn't lift a finger, what other conclusion should I arrive at?

Right the fuck on, Moxon. If human rights for small groups or even for one person are "boutique issues," then human rights are simply dead. The **entire point** of human rights is that we don't dole them out conditionally to one small group or another as we find it in the budget of our hearts.
