Saw a commercial for a local HVAC company with a small-print disclaimer saying it included a "synthetic performer" which is...certainly a pair of words.

Can confirm, my monthly earnings have been wildly unpredictable for a number of reasons recently, but I suspect this is a contributor. If you signed up on the iOS app, I’d encourage you to do it on a desktop browser instead.

Apple charges people ~20% more than the Patreon list price and they keep the difference for themselves. They also hold the proceeds of iOS app sales for 75 days, making it impossible for creators to accurately predict earnings. They basically inserted themselves in order to rip *more* people off

Happy anniversary of that time the post office asked me to provide evidence that my package was not delivered.

A series of photos of me pointing to places where packages could be like inside of a mailbox or on the front porch or in my hands except there is nothing there

This is why the job market with AI is a sadistic and innoble enterprise, because at no part of this were there any thoughts to the person on the other end of the line being human or deserving of consideration

If you're even a _tiny_ bit into security and privacy, pay attention to this one. A court filing in a case against cyberhacker Peter Stokes revealed Microsoft's GDID embedded in EVERY Win11 install provided the FBI the ability to trace his PC across VPNs(!!) & proxies(!!) across three countries.

Microsoft admits Windows 11 has a GDID tracker with no off switch, first documented publicly in an FBI hacker complaint

GDID is the persistent Windows ID that helped FBI trace a Scattered Spider hacker despite VPNs. Here's how it works and how to limit it.

I've had to unfriend a few fans lately, all for the same reason. They made ridiculing, unkind, and in some cases outright cruel comments about pictures I posted of young women cosplaying Jessica.
More than a person, Jessica is a state of mind. To play Jessica, you need self -confidence, a sense of humor, and a Jessican -attitude-. There is no such thing as a Jessica cosplayer being too short, too flat chested, too heavy, too thin, too unattractive, too black, too Asian, or even too male!!! All Jessica, any Jessica, every Jessica is good Jessica.
I'm not giving any warnings or second chances. A single disparaging comment on a Jessica cosplayer, and I'm throwing you out of the rainbow colored Toontown Tent.

Titivillus Teachings Typning [sic] is a free, browser-based medieval typing game where all your mistakes come back to haunt you... New updates are coming soon to add depth to the roguelike 'Endless' mode! chromokun.itch.io/typning ----- #BluePit #🎮 #HS #P #RO #PN #F

Cute preview teaser graphic of the game, featuring the titular Tittivillus's face front and center on a green hand-painted field. The demon peers out of a golden frame with scalloped edges. The demon's face is blue, with a batty nose, curled haircut, pointy ears, and blue horns. The demon's wings are somewhat present in the image, but mostly cropped.

Amphiox is a short, complete webcomic about a ruined world, a magic doom eel, and an acrobatic cat burglar who must steal its egg. Purchasing a copy comes with three vinyl stickers! amphiox.hmcgill.art ---- #BluePit #💥 #P #YA #SF #SP #webcomic #indie

Cover to the webcomic, Amphiox. It's a black cover with criss-crossing blue serpent coils taking up most of the background. The coils writhe around each other with faint glimmers of scales highlighted, before vanishing into darkness. This is a teaser for the beast that will be encountered and explained within the webcomic.

Layered over the writing coils of the Amphiox is its tail, oddly centered and still compared to the rest of its body. An amphiox's tail ends in a fin with rounded tips. The fin's color is a bright, bioluminescent gradient composed of yellow fading into bright skyblue, before tapering into a darker cerulean. The tail has vibrating red highlights. It casts a rainbow of highlights onto its own scales. Attached to this tail are two more, lesser pectoral and dorsal fins, in cerulean blue. The pectoral fin pokes out near the tail, and the dorsal fin is further up, and larger.

THISTIL MISTIL KISTIL Vinland Saga x Percy Jackson A comic about Vikings, Norse gods, and their adventures together (or against each other). Is it too late to grow as a person if you're already dead? www.tmkcomic.com #BluePit 💥#Q #W #YA #LGBT #POC #F #HS #Comic #GN

Page from Thistil Mistil Kistil.

Panel 1: Coal and Loki sit on top of a cliff. The sky is cloudy, and Coal is holding his ruined tunic to his face.

Panel 2: Coal removes the tunic and struggles to speak.
Coal: I had forgotten everything.

Panel 3: Coal's sword lies on the grass as he continues speaking.
Coal: I don't know if it was because of Odin's drink, or death--my death..? But I had forgotten everything.

Panel 4: Coal sits stiffly as he continues.
Coal: I didn't remember my village until I saw it. I didn't remember my mother's name until you pulled that ship from her grave. I didn't remember my father's face until...

Panel 5: Loki looks at Coal thoughtfully.
Coal: And when I saw him, I remembered everything, all of it. The good and the bad.

Page from Thistil Mistil Kistil.

Panel 1: Coal sits glumly with his head hanging.
Coal: Even them...even Hedda and Ibrahim and Arne remind me of what I had once.

Panel 2: Loki looks at Coal sadly.
Loki: And what you wish you had again?

Panel 3: Coal frowns at the ground.

Panel 4: He looks helplessly at Loki. His usually gray eyes have turned green.

Panel 5: Loki smiles.
Loki: There you are.

Panel 6: Coal looks away and covers his face.
Coal: It doesn't matter. You can't fight fate. I'm still dead. I'm still an einherji.

Page from Thistil Mistil Kistil.

Panel 1: Coal holds his head as he fights back tears.
Coal: But how am I supposed to feel nothing when I feel everything?

Panel 2: Loki reaches for Coal.

Panel 3: Loki pulls Coal against him.

Panel 4: They sit together in silence for a long moment.

Panel 5: Loki speaks as Coal wipes his eyes.
Loki: I will say...

Panel 6: Loki looks at Coal.
Loki: I'm out of ideas.

Page from Thistil Mistil Kistil.

Panel 1: Coal frowns at Loki as he speaks.
Loki: Shifting into your father was my last resort.

Panel 2: Loki looks concerned.
Loki: If you frenzy again, I don't think I'll be able to bring you back.

Panel 3: Coal looks away, brows furrowed in thought.

Panel 4: Coal stands up.
Coal: Then I guess I better not frenzy again.

Panel 5: Coal picks up his chain mail from the ground.

THISTIL MISTIL KISTIL Coal is dead, but he wouldn’t mind if he could get into Valhalla. Before Odin will let him in, he must return to the land of the living and complete a quest for the gods. Unfortunately, he needs Loki's help. www.tmkcomic.com #BluePit 💥#Q #W #YA #LGBT #POC #F #HS #Comic #GN

Comic page from Thistil Mistil Kistil featuring a conversation between Loki and Coal.

Panel 1: Coal and Loki face each other.
Loki: My fault? What did I do?
Coal: You very well know.

Panel 2: Loki thinks a few moments.

Panel 3: Loki smirks as Coal snaps at him.
Loki: You'll have to be more specific.
Coal: The gods' weapons! You stole them!

Panel 4: Coal pinches his fingers together to indicate a small size.
Loki: I did not. They have them still.
Coal: You stole fragments, pieces of their power.

Panel 5: Loki perks up comically.
Loki: Oh! That! Yes. I did that.

Page from Thistil Mistil Kistil.

Panel 1: Coal strides off into a dark forest.
Sigyn: He is dead.

Panel 2: Loki lounges on a bench while his wife herds their sons to bed.
Loki: So?
Sigyn: Bedtime, boys.

Panel 3: Sigyn looks back at Loki.
Sigyn: So I can't See a dead man. His fate is death.

Panel 4: Loki flops back into the cushions.
Loki: Hmph. I don't like this.

Panel 5: Focus on Coal's helmet and sword he left behind.
Loki: A sealed fate is unpredictable.

Page from Thistil Mistil Kistil

Panel 1: A boy named Arne addresses Loki, who holds up a hand as Coal shouts from off-panel.
Arne: But I remember--
Loki: Hold that thought.
Coal: LOKI!

Panel 2: Coal falls out of the ship, which is tilted precariously to one side on a beach.

Panel 3: Coal shouts at Loki.
Coal: WHAT DID YOU DO?!

Panel 4: Loki smiles at Coal and reaches toward Arne.
Loki: Ah, Coal.

Panel 5: Loki pulls Arne in front of him like a shield.
Loki: Glad to see you're all right.

Page from Thistil Mistil Kistil.

Panel 1: A woman with a circlet named Aud glances to the side. Arne stands next to her, beaming.
Aud: And you, Grimm? Do you have any skills?

Panel 2: Grimm, or Loki, speaks dramatically.
Loki: An endless amount. I could help around the farm but my true skill lies in entertaining. I know many stories and songs, a few I'm sure you've never heard.

Panel 3: Aud smirks.
Aud: I suppose that's useful.

Panel 4: Aud turns to frown at Coal in the foreground, who frowns even harder.
Aud: Meanwhile, perhaps you can help keep your nephew in line.

Panel 5: Loki leans over to grin at his "nephew." Coal sticks his tongue out at him.
Loki: Now that is true challenge, my lady.
