I'd been invited to play Tunnel Rats with some cool people, and was able to play for the first time last night. It was suuuuper fun! As a result, my dream later last night was playing Tunnel Rats, but over time, opponents were turning into metroids, and the play space became a derelict spaceship

I will never DM anyone on Discord out of the blue like this. Also, I'm old enough that I have no idea what "bagging" even means in this context lol Appreciate @wastelandpuppytv.bsky.social using this as an opportunity to educate people about staying safe and avoiding scams online 🙌

Always worth a re-post.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

If you need reliable health information, we got you. updates are regular.

Why are we still here 🥲

New Maple's World Episode is up! I finally built my resin farm in survival, and built my house on the Animal Crossing island project site: youtu.be/KjWQ1nKipGc #Minecraft

Yesterday's test stream was fun, but it feels weird to create and not have a "clean-up" phase afterward. Like, when I do videos, I have to edit the next day, or when I paint, I have to clean my brushes and put everything away. Streaming doesn't appear to have that.

Just had the best, deepest nap I've had in a loooooong time! If it weren't after 5pm, I'd've kept going.

Saturday morning test stream? www.twitch.tv/professormap... #Twitch #Minecraft

My internet is back! New Maple's World episode is out on Sunday!

Last night I dreamt that I'd made these chocolate and cream cheese upside-down cupcakes that my mom used to make. They weren't nearly as good as hers used to be irl, but they weren't a bad attempt. Now if I could only find that recipe...

Hey artists & photographers & other people who make genuine images to post on here, I recently had this guy going and liking a bunch of posts with original images in them. It looks like he went in through my media tab on my profile to train some image scraper or something for AI... #Art #Photography

The big takeaway here is that Reuters won this case against the AI company on grounds they violated fair use—the judge found the AI company was guilty because, in using copyrighted works to generate its output, it “meant to compete... by developing a market substitute.” Huge.

Witch Hat Atelier has good politics.

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist. Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

I really like this one Forgive yourself! You are doing the best you can, and yes, it is enough.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Imagine marketing a product that is famous for providing inaccurate information and not one person on your marketing team says hey we should fact check our ad before we spend millions of dollars demonstrating our product’s uselessness.

Do you know what else produces photorealistic images, without heating the planet? A camera. Hope someone invents one soon. #AISlop

Good news: I have a new episode of Maple's World ready to upload where we do some Creaking stuff and a little bit of Animal Crossing island project stuff. Bad news: My internet is down until this coming week, so I can't upload it.

Friday mood: clinging to common sense, logic and independent thinking… at all costs. #FridayVibes #FridayFeeling #Mood #HappyFriday #Individuality #IndependentThought 🧠

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Last night, I dreamt that we were up at my grandparents' former camp (read as "cottage") having lunch. Ursula K. le Guin was there. My cousin I haven't seen in years was there. It was a good time.

What gives me hope in these days is remembering how many decent folks are out there fighting the good fight in their own way. That there is still kindness and love in the world. I have to believe that we outnumber them. It’s why they try to keep us down. #Resist
