regardless of today’s outcome, it is morally indefensible to have a court ruling on something that affects a population, using evidence and findings that did not consult a single member of that population.

Years ago we were obsessed with Rayman Legends. Really challenging levels and epic gameplay. There are banging musical boss levels at the end of each section that'll drive you mad. I finally mastered them all and felt the need to record me playing. I just rediscovered that recording!

I’m sorry but if your students use AI to write papers and you use AI to grade them zero school is happening. You are running together on a hamster wheel

Remember when Harper Collins was the only major publisher not to sign the letter protesting the defunding of the IMLS? That sucked. Anyway if you're a Harper author, sign the letter urging them to join their colleagues and get on board. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I began building a nuclear fall-out shelter in my garden around 15 years ago. In recent years it's just become the wanking shed.

Coincidentally, today I received two publishing contracts (small, but very cool). Both included anti-AI clauses that I had insisted upon. These (see below) are suggested by the Australian Society of Authors, but applicable anywhere. Use them. Protect your rights as a creator. @asauthors.bsky.social

Paddy Pimblett beat Michael Chandler convincingly, which I'm pleased about. But the real icing on that cake is knowing Connor Shitgibbon McGregor bet $500,000 on Chandler and lost it. 😘👌

Sure we can disagree and still be friends. If you're talking about pineapple on pizza or tea vs coffee or some shit. But if you're talking about certain people's right to exist, that's not a disagreement. That's a fundamental difference of morality and no we abso-fucking-lutely cannot be friends.

People will always say they’re your friend and they support you no matter what but then they’ll say some toxic shit to you like “you have to let go of the cursed amulet, it’s changing who you are” and “don’t let its power corrupt you” all because they want the amulet for themselves

Trump trying to bully China with trade is so funny. Just such a loser move and shows an utter ignorance of China and Chinese foreign policy. It's embarrassing for America, like everything Trump does.

It's amazing that 4 congressional Dems voted to make it illegal for married women to vote, and the rest of the Dems didn't respond "ok yeah you are not allowed to call yourself a Democrat anymore, we're not going to help fundraise for you, just go fuck yourself"

There is no trans debate. You can't debate the existence of people who exist. There are trans people and there are bigoted shitbirds who want to eliminate trans people. So you stand up for trans folks or you're a bigoted shitbird. There is no debate.
