I had a protracted crashout today and then had to go to A Function where I had to apply glitter, so I think if anyone from any particular afterlife is looking out for me it's probably (still) Carrie Fisher.

I have used this line on some of the more conservative-leaning folks in my friend groups before and lemme tell you guys, it's a REAL GOOD conversation-stopper when they get on their chud behaviour.
Disco Elysium Quotes@discoelysiumbot.bsky.social · 3d agoYOU - By the way, I'm a fascist. THE DESERTER - You're not. You're part of the meat shield surrounding the *real* fascists, while they rape children. That's what *you* are.
You can rightfully talk about the failures of antitrust laws here but every SAG and IATSE local that doesn't go to the picket line over this is complicit and I'm not joking.
ToonHive@toonhive.bsky.social · 3d agoThe combined Warner Bros. and Paramount company will be named Skydance. Warner Bros. and Paramount will continue to operate as brands under the parent company.
If this is legal, it needs to be made illegal. There is clearly something broken when clear monopolies are allowed to flourish. The fact that this is inherently a right-wing operation is beside the point, NO company should have this much power over media. This is going to be a bloodbath for workers

Saving you guys the click and the illusion that American politicians are people with feelings, but this particular bit of crocodile tears comes from the mayor of Minneapolis. Did something happen there that MIGHT make people mistrustful of America? Just wondering! Seems like critical info!!

I got myself involved in more sidequests because I'm sad

Trying to use my nutrition app when I'm depressed is kind of funny because I'll just have ramen and a protein shake at 2pm on a Wednesday and there is literally no way to make that look like it's anything else.
I'm going to be slow to respond on discord and socials because I'm taking a break from using them on my phone. I'll try to remember to look at the desktop apps when I can.
I'm tired. Apparently all I'm worth is what others can use me for.
We all know cosplay/fandom communities have fucked up internal politics and people who can't be trusted with power or fame, but nothing prepares you for it being your own people. You can know someone for years and the moment they either get what they want or can't use you anymore, the mask slips.
Recovering from burnout the first time wasn't worth it because I'm back in the same place now. I don't feel wanted so I make myself useful and needed instead. And if I'm lucky I'll be too busy and tired to feel sad.
Mistakenly thought I had an easier time making friends in my 30s. Turns out 'friends' was 'clients and colleagues who wanted things for free in exchange for occasionally remembering I'm a human being with feelings'. Oops.
This morning — following two investigations into Toronto mayoral candidate Brad Bradford's use of an app that rewards supporters for posting AI-generated comments and sharing contacts — Bradford called our reporting "inaccurate." We're now releasing the recording that proves our reporting.
Bradford calls CNO reporting of AI app rewards ‘inaccurate.’ Here’s the recording proving our reporting.
Canada’s National Observer has decided to publish the segment of the Zoom call that corroborates its reporting.

Sometimes I remember the playlist I made for mine & @alphaz3r0.bsky.social's Destiny 2 characters, which includes songs by Dolly Parton, Insane Clown Posse, Rihanna (which somehow makes the MOST sense), AC/DC, and that one ska cover of Take On Me that was everywhere in the late 90s.
there are only three narratives in fiction: 1) the hero's journey 2) a stranger comes to town 3) a greedy developer is going to tear down our beloved community center...UNLESS we put on the greatest breakdance show this town's ever seen

An individual in Canada used ChatGPT for eight months to plan one of the country’s worst mass shootings. Yet, if you listen to politicians and media, the real threat of AI is a fantastical scenario where it might wipe out humans in ten years. They need to stop getting fooled by tech deceivers.
The media has the AI threat all wrong
Generative AI is harming people today. We don’t need to waste time fantasizing about science fictional scenarios.

Jennifer Hale once told me Canadians need to champion ourselves more. I wholeheartedly agree. Over the past few months, I reached out to dozens of Canadian devs to learn their favourite Canadian games. Their varied responses offer a wonderful spotlight on some of the incredible talent we have here.🍁
These are must-play Canadian games, according to Canadian devs
As Canadians, we don't champion ourselves enough, so we asked dozens of game developers to do just that.

Not that anyone needs reminding of how unreliable NYT is or how the entire journalistic trade is bought and sold by the worst people on the planet. But they really just said "lol nah" to anything that isn't American or sometimes British, and the only animation on here is BoJack.

I've tried to leave my poking-the-bear tendencies behind on Twitter, but Gen X'ers saying stuff like this after we've all collectively seen how they've chosen to raise Gen Z children is genuinely crazy.
Jessie Blue@jessieblueaz.bsky.social · 2w agoGuys, please stop with the “please clap” when you cook for yourself, get out of bed on time, do your laundry… If your personal bar is that low, find some fucking hustle. I work my ass off. I’m not giving high fives for your bare minimum.
Reskeet: yes, but I can't believe this is how I realized haus of decline is Canadian.
