i don't mean to denigrate any other elections but there is no greater karmic justice at work today than the expulsion of Greg Abbott

genuinely, first thing tomorrow, contact your relevant reps and tell em you want reversals on "age verification" legislation and strengthened protections for artistic expression

WE HAVE TO TELL OUR BLUE REPS ABOUT PORN. THE PORN YOU GUYS. WE MOBILIZE TOMORROW AT 0900

These aren't all finalized yet, but … DAMN. - Governor: Abbott conceded to Hinojosa - Senator: Paxton whining that there's no way Talarico is actually winning 🙄 - House: LOOK at all those blue and blue-leading districts!! Looks like all that gerrymandering really screwed things up for them ^.^

I can't believe it, a blue hurricane?

The three most terrifying words in the English language. 😌

It's not every day you get to recruit a brand new party member, especially if you've thought that character was *not* a party member for the last 30 years. https://kotaku.com/someone-just-figured-out-how-to-recruit-a-previously-unrecruitable-party-member-in-a-nearly-30-year-old-rpg-2000752817

Get going on that project that you'll get to... eventually.

Google is trying to use its monopoly power to force AI into our public schools. No corporation should have the power to dictate how we teach our children.  Our public schools exist to serve students, not to grow the profit margins of Big Tech.

Google Will Turn Off Search for Schools That Reject A.I.

Google is making it easier to restrict its A.I. tools for students. But schools that block A.I. entirely will lose student access to Google’s search engine.

In order to better control what you see, we're adding Generative AI disclosure filtering to few more places on the site where it was critically lacking, including our search results page

As the guy who helped develop the good Capn', I totally approve of this message.

Everybody go out and vote if you haven't already! Even if you don't want to or don't think you need to, it's really really important!! + Unrelated hot beard guy

I did early voting last week, so if you haven't voted yet, do it. We need every vote, because when I was done voting, I saw an old man with a "2A🔫" cap lurching his way in to vote, so that probably undid my vote.

Etsy is betraying artists again. Please buy things from my Etsy store before December when they'll start doing this! After that I don't know if I'll stay with them. It's either move to a new marketplace site or Glaze every single image I post there. And I can't Glaze customer pics! Guess I'll die

Reminder that much of the modern anti-trans movement was organized and funded by Jeffery Epstein as a distraction from growing media scrutiny and the threat of federal investigations. There’s a reason Rowling invited Epstein to her events. transnews.network/p/epstein-ba...

Prototype for a blackberry themed piece. Thinking of changing up how I do the fittings so that I can attach metal leaves and maybe a berry.

Honestly, I feel like I should just drop any hope for FFXIV improving atm. Every live letter they find new ways to muck up things, and it just ticks me off now. I was going to give them until they revealed how the evolved jobs play. But I’m considering even skipping that at this point.

OTGW is peak for so many reasons, but the part that always sticks out for me is how they utterly nailed a kind of vague melange of unsettling old Americana in a way I don't think I'd seen since I was a child. It's somehow deeply familiar, but in a way I couldn't put a finger on, and it drove me mad.

Coming right out and saying that OpenAI's vision of the future is one in which they own all computers and you rent computing from them... or at least, you rent time and power doing whatever Sam Altman thinks you should be allowed to do. This is an authoritarian worldview that must be annihilated.

Elon's biggest fear is that Democrats will unrig the political system when they take power. I've never heard a better argument for why Democrats should unrig the political system when they take power.

FYI Apple is now taking a huge 30% cut if you donate to someone's Patreon via Apple's IOS App. AND they sit on the funds for 75 days-- over 2 months!-- making interest while creators watch their bank accounts wither to nothing. Yet again Big Tech fucks creators. Do NOT use the Apple IOS APP.

If you pledge to my patreon through the ios app you will pay an additional 30% fee (Apple's fee, they keep all that!) AND your pledge is held by Apple for 75 days. So if you pledge to me in March maybe I will get that money for rent in June.
