Might be the best spider pic I've ever taken. #emotionalsupportspood #spider #spood #lookatthosemandibles

This hand will haunt me. I'm systematically ignoring every game in the "AI Gaming Fest" They couldn't even bother to proofread the fest text?? "Learn how AI being used to games faster than ever" @steampowered.com I thought better of you. Unless you're largescale trolling devs who use AI...?

Duck AI Slop!!@duckaislop.bsky.social

Steam hosted an "Ai Gaming Fest", a free block / ignore list. We've updated our mega spreadsheet too Thread of the games with NO disclosures🧵 included! store.steampowered.com/curator/4628... steamdb.info/sales/event/...

I found a Rarity-81 word worth 94 pts in OUTLIER. EAGLE EYES · 838 points · 10 rare words. Only 14 players have ever found it in all of Outlier. 3 finds no one else found today. OUTLIER: the daily word hunt where the rarest words win. Can you beat me? playoutlier.com/s/RM4ZK9

Just hearing about Dolly Parton. Her saint name with The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence is: Saint Authenticity the Utmost, Exemplary Artist, Humble Humanitarian, and Patron Saint of Relentless Glamor!

Oh my fucking goodness the EEOC sucks. Not sure if that's a "in these times" or "always" thing, but christ on a cracker..... Just got my case dismissal email and it's riddled with errors because they didn't put anything in an auto fill field.

The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Miracle Musical - Hawaii Part II Shakira - Dónde Están los Ladrones?

Stevie 👻 (they/them)@sherbs780.bsky.social

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours Beyoncé - Lemonade Dolly Parton - Jolene

I got some free books. I've been having a blast. My husband keeps rolling his eyes as I show him my inventions. #collage #myweirdbrain #art

Hilarious moment at work. Listened to a mashup of songs about the devil on a Halloween mix. Then ran a count to see "how many of [thing] do I have left to process?" 666

Cast yourself as a villain.... I have always been obsessed with pirate tropes, I had a dress-up pirate party for my 18th birthday. Also, campiness and Muppets!

Cast yourself as a villain As long as I've been in theater I've wanted to play Lady Macbeth, literally decades before I realized I was trans. There were no signs

Work used an AI image for annual budget updates, showing water flowing to different fields as a metaphor for funding allocations. Water flowing backwards Multiple US flags flying in opposing directions Sunshine and shadows in a different direction Cloned bodies Tell me you couldn't care less....

Actually, he's called The Dogtor. The show is Dr. Woof. If we wanna remain fandom-pedantry correct, that is 😁

Look, all I'm saying is now is the time for Dr Woof

And then I just ran into them on the street! Little star struck tbh. But also there was some madness going on!

In Seattle healing up from kidney donation, I see that @reluctantlyjoe.bsky.social is talking and doing a book signing across the street at Seattle U... the day i might be leaving :cries: Time to check the schedule for any other appearances!

I love what Cory Doctorow wrote in one of his newsletters. Something like: "'We used AI to do this' is basically shorthand for 'we didn't want to do this in the first place'"

Sir, another graduation ceremony in which the students booed AI has dropped. "College graduates were pissed after their school used AI to announce graduates’ names and missed hundreds of names" (via @/FearedBuck on Twitter)

I frequently ask my kids why they gotta "R U N N O F T" all the time, like when they walk too far ahead at the grocery store.

My family quote this movie all the time. Just randomly we'll yell "I'm a dapper dan man!" or my Dad's fav, "I'm the damn Paterfamilias of this family" as we all ignore him. Its great.

The most recent meme in your photo roll describes your mental state. Scarily accurate, tbh.

Got a text seeking my opinion for "pubopresearch . org" (I'm typing without spaces because it's literally not a real website) asking my thoughts about donald trump and my state's issues. No organization identifiable. Shady as fuck.

@hinaypod.bsky.social Q's for a b-sides, with apologies if these are addressed in the latest 7 or so episodes, I'm almost caught up! 1- Salai is an elder apprentice, but have we/will we meet any other apprentices?

View full thread

4 - I assume thats why you get elders trying to generate new sources of magic. CB with his books, Vanessa's unstable portal, Thompson's hell basement. Will we hear about any more of those attempts, if other apprentices enter the picture?

5 - Would there be some kind of formal / in-universe method of inducting a new apprentice so they formally join? What would that look like? Or would the Benefactor even allow it?

@hinaypod.bsky.social Q's for a b-sides, with apologies if these are addressed in the latest 7 or so episodes, I'm almost caught up! 1- Salai is an elder apprentice, but have we/will we meet any other apprentices?

2- I thought the elders became elders at the point of Sarvard's initial experiment creating the foci (hence why young Will and Jack Robin are not elders). If that's true, then there's generally a single constrained conduit of magic, right?

3 - Which creates a puzzle - Why would elders in general take on apprentices, if it means even more magic users feeding off that conduit, especially knowing the supply is dwindling as the scooby gang destroys or deactivates foci?

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college: 1. Oral Interpretation of Literature 2. Blood: Science, Art, and Folklore 3. Popular Fiction 4. Psychology of Crime 5. International Politics #1 = "how to read aloud with panache," and still makes me want to be a voice actor

If mashups count, I have now lost #Whamageddon. But "Every Christmas You Fake" was worth it. This entire Bootie Christmas playlist is banger after banger, tbh.

The fact that they have intolerance set to warn, but rudeness set to hide just shows you their priorities. They would rather you see people say bad things about trans people than bad things to transphobes.

I am thinking of setting up a new anti-golf party with the slogan "tough on golf, tough on the courses of golf". The four key policies are: 1. Anyone who plays golf to be banned from public office. 2. All golf courses to be restored to nature. 3. er.. 4. That's it.

I don't know if anything beats texting your friend to say "I got approval to donate a kidney for you, last couple tests and then we schedule surgery" while they're sitting in dialysis.

I did it! I cooked dinner!!!! You have to understand, we've been married for over 13 years. I am scared of kitchen accidents, especially burns, to the point of phobia. By my count, I've cooked a full meal maybe 10 times in our relationship. But I made @mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social bolognese!

To clarify, I made the recipe from their cookbook. I cooked for my family, and they all had some! Some had seconds! One had some and then requested plain noodles instead....but progress!!!
