Spacewolf

For the umpteenth time: If you're migrating here from Twitter, hi. If you're looking for the NSFW artist on Twitter known as spacewolf, *that isn't me*, check before you follow please.

I do love political photoshoots that inexplicably deploy the grammar of slashfic.

It is funny that the only Jewish state in the world has like a party for every thirty citizens and is chronically incapable of forming a government

I once went on a business trip to Vegas with a colleague who had a Ph.D. in near eastern archaeology. She walked around Caesar's Palace, pointed to each statue, and told us which emperor it was and what museum the original is in. Trump's White House is definitely a discount version.

As much as people may hate Uber and Lyft, they are a godsend for people with disabilities that mean no driving. Taxis and paratransit were and are extremely poor substitutes in most places. Shame they're so expensive.

Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!

"But the AI CEOs are hucksters--" IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER. They're not the only ones developing this technology! You think Sam Altman personally controls AI? much of this shit is open source and being spun up by people you've never heard of (and never will) and it can do shit like this!

"If I, the consumer, simply refuse to use this tech, it will go away" shut up. Just shut up.

I need people to be able to hold multiple thoughts in their head at once. Please. I am begging you.

"it's all snake oil" ok well I hate to break it to you but idiots armed with large volumes of snake oil are currently taking down major cyber infrastructure

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.

OUR DM DIDN'T KNOW WHAT A POLYCULE WAS HE'S BEEN TELLING PEOPLE HE'S GOING TO GO HOME AND GAME WITH HIS POLYCULE!! HE'S A DALLAS REAL ESTATE AGENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“I see the problem.” “Yeah?” “This is Maple Street.” “Isn’t that what it says?” “You want Maple AVENUE.” “Sorry, I’m covering for Dan.” “Is Dan okay?” “Shingles.” “That’s a shame.” “I’m Jill, by the way.” “Where are my manners, I’m Ted.” “Nice to meet you, Ted.” “You too, Jill.”

5th circuit rules switch blades are “arms” and therefore under the 2nd ammendment can not be regulated. Next will be RPGs, tanks, flame throwers, and finally … nukes.

They bringing back open carry swords? It sounds like they want to bring back open carry swords.

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Lights are reflected off a bulletproof screen as President Trump speaks during a campaign rally in Greenville, North Carolina. More photos of the week: reut.rs/4yGkBNh 📷 Evan Vucci

“You’re a piece of sh*t. You’re a scumbag. Those words are worthy here.” The usually mild-mannered Chuck Todd GOES OFF on Vivek Ramaswamy. More than just venting, he also gets at a very important point: These disgusting tactics will prevent good people from entering politics in the future.

Anyway, I was gone at this point but from the outside it always felt like The Powers That Be wouldn't let the last Mass Effect games and final Dragon Age to really focus on what made those IPs great: namely good story and highly f*ckable companion characters.

Woah, R’s are pulling out of Moskowitz seat and Trump’s PAC is triaging NC11

Uh-oh! Someone just learned about the concept of the “monopoly on violence” and is going to make it all of our problems

I just figured out why Steam Next Fest is recommending a ton of match-3 and puzzle combat games to me. Ever since I implemented Steam achievement support in Torment Hexus, my Steam client thinks that I am playing Torment Hexus whenever I launch the editor. Consequently, my playtime is, uh, high.

This is one thing that bugs me. There's a lot of mistakes out there that are actually too stupid for LLMs to make. This is one of them.

We have to think about collapsing Trump poll numbers and Rs turning on him the same way we'd think about finally being able to corner a rabid raccoon in your garage. Good news: he's out of options. Bad news: he's a rabid raccoon.

This one's maybe a little on the ling side, but trust me, it's worth it. I've cried reading it multiple times. (1/3)

genuinely i think this is about half of what's going on in my town. the seniors are alone in their houses getting radicalized by AI slop

I'm just stunned about everything about this. Vivek is making an extremely ugly family issue (Acton was the victim of child rape) a political issue to try to capture voters estranged by their children. Words fail as to how unutterably evil this is.

The big issue is ERISA was set up around a 1960s auto plant vision of what “employee plans” are. The big worry was embezzlement and underfunding of pensions. Health care plans were tacked on. ERISA makes Department of Labor ultimate regulator of most health plans.

after two years of bargaining thanks to activision's stall tactics, unionized workers have authorized a strike. I spoke to them, as well as an ex-employee with disability issues who was basically forced out of the company due to the return-to-office policies the union has been trying to fight

Every explanation of anarchism I hear is like "what if small town but on steroids." Like I escaped rural America on purpose.

Worth keeping in mind that conspiratorial thinking will absolutely destroy your ability to understand the world and your place in it, even if you are on the right side of things, or even sometimes wind up being right. Demand evidence for your beliefs and don't just go on vibes, I'm begging you.

In 2011, I presented on students w/ criminal records & campus crime to a conference of university chiefs/LEOs. I made an offhand remark that if universities were actually serious about relationship & sexual violence, they'd ban frats. One said, "We would if we could," & every other chief agreed.

I wouldn't be surprised. It's weird how for a teetotaler, Trump's second administration is staffed with hard core alcoholics of the variety that would make a frat house hold an intervention.

Yeah. In truth it’s a party issue not a counsel issue; where the real party in interest is genuinely the U.S., DOJ is fine. When the litigant, in truth, is Donald J. Trump either by name or by proxy, they’re kookoo bananapants.

Hell, I’m 33 years old and I didn’t experience central air at home or school until I was 12.

In 1950, ~20% of US households did not own a refrigerator. mycentral.coop/through-deca...
