My last minute submission to #makeaterriblecomicday2025 #KingArthur

Man, #CloudwardHo is really going above and beyond on integrating art and story, this is spectacular #Dimension20

Well, it seems both seasons of Andor are available on Hulu for just the next week so I guess I’m not getting much done for a while

Leap through the quantums and yeet out the Klingons and clean up New Orleans with

If Democrats truly want to appeal to young men, they should probably start presenting themselves as the party that definitively *won’t* draft you into an illegal war.

If we’re really resetting to 2003, can we at least get the $500 rent back too?

I just realized I predicted the basic concept of "wonky AI Art" in a flash fiction that I wrote twelve years ago when I was like 17. 365tomorrows.com/2013/07/07/t...

AND ANOTHER THING, language like "advanced reasoning" is meaningless gibberish in this context designed to manufacture a false belief that these tools have anything resembling reasoning. Calling these products "AI" in the first place was designed to do exactly that. A science fiction smoke screen.

Never let a politician tell you what morals and what people you should be willing to put aside. Trans lives matter and there will never be a world where trans people do not exist. Please love yourself, and love your friends in the god awful times we're living in. Please resist.

We’ve got a Laura! And she’s here to creep out her husband! #Daggerheart #AgeOfUmbra

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Add to this, I don’t get the whinging on the forums about how “Mythic doesn’t work for kineticists!” Sure, there’s no impulse-specific mythic feat for “blast a guy at mythic proficiency” like the spell/strike ones other classes get to enjoy once every other fight. #Pathfinder2e

CNN is really dancing around “Israel is very clearly the aggressor here but we’re going to laser focus on their pov anyway.”

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

There's a cottage industry churning out articles about left-leaning "bubbles" and "echo chambers" but very little written about how numerous members of Congress live in a bubble of nonsense peddled by lobbyists and consultants. I have no doubt he was told this by a 20-something crypto lobbyist.

Sold a book to Nolan Gould—the kid from Modern Family—at my old airport job years back. It was on sale and about rock climbing. I’ve actually got a lot of these from that job.

Finger tentacles! From the man who brought you wounds with teeth! #CriticalRoleSpoilers #AgeOfUmbra

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are coming to rescue you. Damn it all, I was watching Reacher yesterday!

I’ve done my writing, I’ve made some popcorn, it’s time for #CloudwardHo episode 2 #Dimension20

I cannot deny, Sinners is a sublimely crafted film. Walks such a tricky line of tone that it buys itself the right to be supremely ridiculous when it needs to be.

If they really wanted to help LA they could use the hundred million dollars to build more housing, instead of sending in the marines to just stand around.

i know it's just advertisement but it still pisses me off when tech CEOs claim AGI will solve humanity's problems with its vast intelligence. for a lot of problems we already know the solutions, what prevents them being solved is not a lack of intelligence, but that the solutions are unprofitable

The Kickstarter for Real Hero Shit 2: Harder Than It Looks is LIVE NOW!!!! Right NOW!!!!!! Back it in the first hour for free domestic or discounted international shipping!!!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/iro...

All the clips getting shared of the original Lilo & Stitch have made me really appreciate Cobra Bubbles. Imagine you quit the CIA because you fast-talked your way into saving the world from aliens, you move to Hawaii, you take a lower stakes job, and then THE ALIENS FOLLOW YOU.

Peace through strength isn’t peace. It’s oppression.

Fine, let’s finally try the giant man detective show based on the million books.

Trump admitting he put a big-time drug addict in charge of a major government project

If you see a genocide paid for by the American government and perpetrated by a military that has 23,000 American citizens in it using weapons manufactured by the American military industrial complex as "not our problem" because the victims are Palestinians, you don't actually understand fascism.
