Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak

Hey remember when Nanowrimo said "sure why not" to allowing AI slop in their process and then immediately died after 20 years of operation oh, no reason, was just thinkin' about it

“I asked ChatGPT” “I asked Claude” well I asked the Bouncy Council

Not only do I not use ChatGPT, but I still don’t know how to get to it, I don’t want to know, and I have no interest in even learning. I consider this to be one of my better qualities even though it sounds extremely “I don’t even OWN a TV”

i have improvised for my fucking life here at metrocon artist alley table 632 i do not have hoodies or pajamas in stock but you can feel the displays and place an order that will ship to you!!!! come say hi!!

I can't remember if I mentioned this publicly yet or not, but I commissioned a print of Venom Dough Cookie from the lovely @squirrelcurls.bsky.social! For anyone at DragonCon this year I'll have it with me, along with my two Wuk Lamat ones I had done a couple years ago 💜

Me: I'm feeling better! -Stands up and just about collapses- Me: GODS DAMNIT I need everyone to understand the amount of times this has happened in the last three days.

I'm buying myself pizza before I get tired of soup. -sick person who hates soup.

Since we're talking COVID: Masks work, ivermectin does not. Vaccines massively protect you and help against long-term stuff, but you need to keep up with boosters. You need to keep masking; COVID isn't over because WE DIDN'T STOP THE TRANSMISSIONS in 2020-2021. Also many are still at high risk

what a lot of people don't realize is that you can still do, or say racist things unintentionally. it's ingrained in society/culture. and when you call them out they get all defensive or are like "wait that's impossible" cuz they're more scared of being seen as a racist then just actually changing.

hey, do we spot perhaps a very big issue here that is related to what is going to happen if you just make them push the data center away from your house (aka into someone else's) instead of fighting for international regulation for essential data infrastructure?

"By the end of 2030," reports NYT, the amount of energy used by data centers"is expected to quadruple, eclipsing the power used by all countries in South America and Africa combined." This is extinctionism.

Friendly reminder that these things aren't impacted by closing the Strait of Hormuz so maybe, just maybe, we should implement them to avoid being impacted by future conflicts: -Solar panels -Wind turbines -Battery storage -Electric vehicles -Bicycles -Natural fertilizers -Electric heat pumps
