That's very strange. I hadn't noticed that, but glad you mentioned it. I'm so sorry that people are being weird about it. It's never and easy choice, even when we know it's the right one. ❤️

That would put me in a panic as well!

Oh that's right, and if two people both run power plants you have to spin the bulb to see who it points to in order to break the tie.

How do we determine first player? Person who last paid the power bill?

USA folk, you need to annoy these assholes as much as you can. this bill is not to protect children. they want to erase transgender people from public life and classify them as degenerate content in the internet. we will not be seen or heard. they want our *existence* to be a sex offense.

If you haven't watched Carlos Maza's excellent "Pay for It?" video, I highly recommend. youtu.be/MCKeXhta3H0

omg, nailed

Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME

Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day.

Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.

I'm glad that the kids have you as one of their guides in life.❤️

I am once again tapping the "support independent, worker-owned, billionaire free news" sign. the most powerful people in the world should not be deciding whether or not we know about this sort of thing. putting Marisa's subscription link below

"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!"

counterpoint!

the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

"....that would be microwaved water for my tea." would have been a better approach.

Bro, ICE is still here kidnapping people, now they’ve even got transit vans advertising fake companies.

A screenshot of the Polymarket website showing a prediction market titled "Nuclear weapon detonation by...?" under the Geopolitics and Ukraine categories. The market displays three betting options with their current probabilities and "Buy Yes" or "Buy No" prices: "March 31" at 5%, "June 30" at 12%, and "Before 2027" at 22%. The total trading volume shown is over $843,000.

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

I love TTRPGs and the moments/feelings/thoughts they can evoke and the way you continue to think about them long after the session is done. Quinns has done an outstanding job not only with his thoughts on different TTRPGs, but keeping a balance of depth/thoughtfulness and comedic moments.

Absolutely! I feel like when I say I don't use AI people are like, "well people are always reluctant to be tech" like it's just a common reluctance. I love that he highlighted the moral and philosophical issues that come along with AI and it's defenders.

Glad you enjoyed it! Such an endearing person (and voice).

AI is DEATH to creativity... and maybe humans. YouTube video by The Crafsman Steady Craftin

If you've never heard of Crafsman, he's a jewel. His video on artificial "intelligence" is well put. I just had to share. youtu.be/CC7dmomiVuo

Not me crying. Aww Mango, so glad you got one more bean. 🧡💚❤️ Thank you for sharing her with us.

So we went from "Piracy is a crime" to "AI companies aren't beholden to the laws that govern you and me" real fucking quick, huh?

Please make a terrible ruckus about this, if you live in Oregon

destroying our access to information and organizing spaces was always the plan. tech oligarchy and the right, goosestepping hand in hand

Footage from Minab, Iran, shows the aftermath of an Israeli-US strike on a girls' elementary school that reportedly killed more than 50 people.

A screenshot of an email from an ad agency to Evil Hat Marketing: Hey Evil Hat team, Promised this is the last time you’ll hear from me. We are wrapping up generating content on the house. The AI studio is starting to get fully booked with our paying clients, and I have strict orders to stop promoting this come the weekend. I figured Evil Hat might as well get some work out of us at no cost while you can. Want in before we close it up? Best, [redacted] And then our reply: Hi [redacted], We will never use AI for our games or for our marketing. It's toxic to our customer audience and it's an ethical violation of the hard work put in by the human artists we hire to illustrate our books and the human writers who design our games. In short, it's not "free work" it's theft. Feel free to take me off your mailing list. Hope you turn around your business model because frankly, your current approach sucks shit. -Tom

sometimes you have to be clear about your values

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

What if we just…you know…didn’t use AI, given that we’ve seen approximately 1 billion red flags?

I know I left a message on IG, but I'm so so sorry. You both fought so hard. Mango was loved and will be remembered. 🧡💚 Thank you for sharing her with us. I cherish my Mango pin and d20.

Disgusting and cruel. Not to mention it's disturbing that Kansas has a list of trans folks to send these letters to.
