So sick of photorealism in games. If a game doesn't run on a steam deck then it doesn't exist for me. Graphics are not everything. A fun game is a fun game. The entry level hardware for fun shouldn't be a current gen console. It should be the potato PC you already own.

thought my dad would be interesting to text with about an article i read! i can totally tell he didn’t read anything and just sent gpt slop meant to debunk the whole thing. so. that’s extremely disappointing.

Every time I reach out, even just a small “heya” or some kind of flirt, it’s a massive undertaking of energy and effort. I wish it wasn’t. But it is.

Remembering Dolly Parton, an enduring LGBTQ+ icon whose music, compassion, and outspoken support for LGBTQ+ people helped create greater visibility and acceptance across generations. Her legacy as an ally and champion of love, individuality, and inclusion will continue to inspire. Rest in peace.

Daily reminder that “porn addiction” is not a real thing, and is an invention of the far-right, which they use to demonize both the healthy usage of porn, and to call for censorship of LGBTQ speech. Anyone who supports the idea of “porn addiction” is legitimizing that and all it entiails.

This is what the "AI" techbros don't fucking understand. There's a HUGE DIFFERENCE between LLM generative AI and ACTUAL machine learning programs that use consistent, verified data to help scientists and doctors collect, parse, and understand data sets. FUCK generative AI, more science AI please

So much climate science is based on machine learning! We wouldn't understand so much of what is going on right now without it. Meanwhile, I can't do an internet search without being bombarded by some broken chatbot. ...Put that processing power back to work on the climate data, please.

the abortion comment is 100% accurate. The vast majority of anti-abortion types--I know, I grew up with anti-abortion people who sometimes went to rallies and stuff and knew more aggressive anti-abortion activists--believe that abortion is simply baby murder. This is their #1 driving belief.

jon ronson has written a book about men who go crazy online and he's dedicated an entire chapter to graham linehan. graham is not going to like the observer review.

Ronson’s account of Graham Linehan is another harrowing tale of a man’s life ruined by the internet. Linehan was a beloved comedy writer, co-creator of Father Ted, and a prolific presence on Twitter, where he was well liked and respected. Then, in 2013, something began to shift, when an episode of his sitcom The IT Crowd, first broadcast in 2008, was repeated. In it, a man discovers his girlfriend is transgender and a brawl breaks out between the two. Viewers did not like the display of violence nor the supposed implication that the trans woman was “really” a man, underlying maleness bursting forth uncontrollably once she is angry.

Linehan responded to criticism with polite bafflement, then defensiveness, and finally overt anger. He began to research transgender issues and developed a singular obsession with the topic, which has since gone on to comprehensively destroy his career and personal life. Linehan, who believes trans activism and indeed ordinary trans existence pose an existential threat to women, talks of little else (except, these days, a fervent pro-Israel stance). He tweets near-constantly, cloaking his obsession with supposed concern for the wellbeing of cisgender women, but he does not balk at aggressively insulting those women who disagree with him.

i very much yearn for the era of media being made by faceless authors and people could decide if they did/didn't like something solely by reading it. now the morals of fiction bleed into a creator's personal life, and people feel like they "know" us simply by reading our work. it's offputting.
