“With Ben, it’s nothing personal. I just hadn’t anticipated having an interaction with him at that precise moment and in that context. So basically, I had to no choice but to run like I was fleeing from a humanoid monster with tentacle-like arms.”

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

I do not trust anyone who uses LLMs or generative AI in their work, creative or otherwise. To me, the use of those tools degrades society's capacity for thought and reasoning. Language IS human intelligence. If we are no longer using language with our minds, then we become less intelligent.

if you purchase anything "Harry Potter" you are funding this. I for one plan on unsubscribing from HBO/Max as soon her damned reboot is set for release...

David Attenborough [whispering]: “The dual-finned Canadian land shark surfaces briefly, scouting the area for signs of potential prey.”

The chapter what.

When you're at a point where there's just no way your action game based on a world-famous billion-dollar box office super hero character can realistically be financially viable you have to ask what the games industry is doing, man.

Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate have been charged with rape, human trafficking, bodily harm, and more in the U.K.

Reminder if you use Firefox and haven't done this yet to disable their A/I chatbot feature (not just removing it from your sidebar): ➡ go to about:config (open a new tab and type it into the address bar) ➡ locate "browser .ml .chat .enabled" (or just search "chat") ➡ toggle to "false"

new from me, on @theverge.com (!!!), on the indie game "golden age" that was born out of the nintendo switch launch: www.theverge.com/nintendo/671...

magneto was right.

when i know how late it is in your timezone

normalise being quiet and closing your tiny little mouth and brain

We don't deserve her

Based Bill Burr giving the most based take

Of course it may just be coincidental and sloppy graphic design, but the decision to render the Venus symbol in a runic style, rather like the far right use of the Othala rune seems like a coded message to me. I have never seen the circle as anything like this before

If I ever get to meet @alyssamerc.bsky.social , it would probably be something like this

this is where the "realism" problem comes in because yes you can have more "grounded" animation too but the whole point is being unconstrained at any moment, especially in something as stylized and colorful as lilo and stitch. you can make surreal and vibrant "live action" too! just few ever do

I don’t think it’s a particularly hot take to say the person who posted a timelapse of themself playing GTA V on the interstate in their Cybertruck should be in prison

Colombia baby!

Now seated for #Longlegs

This kind of laughably credulously big tech puff piece is still the standard today. See every article about AI from last couple years and articles about NFT and Web 3 before that, profiles of Altman, pre-fall SBF, pre-twitee Musk, etc.

Trans people deserve better. You deserve better. The world deserves better.

he’s right and he’s right to say it

"The nature of forgeries, a subject on which I may boast of some small expertise, is to fool the least discerning, not the most; it is to convince the general public that true greatness never existed, that imitation is reality, that shoddiness is quality. It is an assault on pleasure itself."

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.

capitalism really sucks the life out of creativity

Before JRR Tolkien, English fantasy stories were mostly about mounds of beans on improbably large pieces of toast

You’ve recently eaten cake. Would you like to chew broken glass?

Among heterosexual couples over age 50, research finds that divorce rates increase significantly when the wife develops a serious illness but the husband does not; however, no such increase is seen when husbands fall ill but wives do not. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/soci...

The federal government is trying to kill 150,000 trans people in the United States. I can count the number of cis people talking about this on one hand.

Yet another example of: If the cover is AI, so is the rest. Throw it in the trash. 🚮

It’s Mary Anning’s birthday, so time to share @katebeaton.bsky.social’s brilliant cartoon again.

"The first act of violence that patriarchy demands of males is not violence toward women. Instead patriarchy demands of all males that they engage in acts of psychic self-mutilation, that they kill off the emotional parts of themselves." — bell hooks

my five year old cousin who fucking hates jay leno is really excited about this
