me (just getting off the ride called "pov: you get eaten by an anteater" where they strapped a tiny gopro to an ant's head): fuck

i processed 9/11 on the neopets forums

i for one am shocked that the "i go in the pool to cool down, why can't my phone?" guy is bad at programming and offloading his job to the anthropic api

just got back from my mind palace and boy are my arms tired

You can't keep trying to relitigate the thermodynamic reality of the world with tooling and parasocial exhortations to do better. Everything you put up on the Internet will be digested and excreted for the pleasure of the most abject and defiled lotus eater who lives in a New Jersey cul de sac.

I have never trusted this company as a company, but I no longer trust them as software developers. There is circumstantial evidence they've kept the LLMs away from the PDS specifically, but an organization that believes AI is real is an organization that can't be trusted to enforce coding standards.

why moth?

im thinking classic Bug. six legs, nondescript shape, nobody really knows what im for, but if i die the whole ecosystem will collapse

what kind of bug are all y'all gonna turn into in your next lives. i can't decide

hey @mimeris.bsky.social no response? did this not clear things up for you? let me know if you would like me to explain further. i'm more than happy to do so.

plus i'm not sure if society has figured out how to make a leftist who didn't have to go through a toxic discourse phase

i think it's good when discourse is physically painful to read because otherwise people who find it addictive would have no motivation to stop

unrotates your cogject

imagine if you could see people's follower counts irl. it would drive society insane. imagine if the words you spoke hung in the air with the number of likes and reposts suspended above them for all to see. society would devour itself in a matter of days. modern social media is inherently antisocial

Shigeru Miyamoto x Shigesato Itoi – 1989 Interview - shmuplations.com This lengthy interview captures a high-level meeting of the minds between Shigesato Itoi, Shigeru Miyamoto, and author Seiko Itou.

Today we have an amazing interview from 1989 with Shigeru Miyamoto and Shigesato Itoi. Conducted shortly after the release of Mother, it's full of deep musings about realism, creative exhaustion, the moral panic over kids & gaming, and prescient visions of the future. shmuplations.com/itoimiyamoto/

nobody needs to do anything about it, i just think it's neat

an improperly constructed environment is one that creates an attention economy

attention addicts are caspases for improperly constructed social media environments

This is society now. This is what it looks like

a bunch of quoted posts where each one adds "the black mesa taco hitbox" and at the lowest level of the quotestack is an image of the black mesa taco hitbox, which is rotated 90 degrees from the taco's model, presumably so that it could fit sideways into an npc's hand or something. sorry for editorializing in the alt text. i'm gonna tell my kids this was hyperreality

the black mesa taco hitbox

working for a newspaper that carries water for fascists is collaboration. collaborating, as in to work together. he literally works in an office building or on zoom calls with fascists. because he works at the propaganda arm of the regime. the one for the democrats. there are two sides, you see

truth is inverse to proximity to monetization

I believe that Bouie could destroy the entire conspiracy of abuse propping up this maddening state of affairs if he leant his Voice to the case for the Truth. Ta-Nehisi Coates spoke up for Palestine. I will never forget, that he is the greatest American Intellectual of our time— a Champion of Truth.

This Bouie stuff is revealing not because of the NYT Columnist himself, but the way cis people and liberals close ranks to bully and degrade and weaponize their power to attack and silence trans women they disagree with, because we have more radical and honest politics than them.

There's no more pretending we can't see you.

There's a vestigial fear of becoming an unremarkable cog in a nazi machine in the liberal soul. They did at one point quite despise fascism. But it's like shock from losing blood, you get over the horror faster than you'd think

they're afraid of it happening to them, but they're also afraid it already is, and afraid that they won't be afraid when it does. And it is, and they're not. They made peace with everything their trans colleagues said was a last straw, everything those few still-employed colleagues said was genocide

the journalists are doing this because they have to recognize from colleagues, peers, friends that the abyss is yawning in front of them and they're farther down it than they think. People they once thought of as reasonable are now pretty bullish on death squads, wildcat drone attacks
