folks, i’d read your thoughtful analyses if they weren’t on the profitsharing with andrew tate et al site. it’s 2026. this isn’t “i can’t avoid shopping at every store that donates to the GOP” or “if i don’t use microsoft at work i get fired,” you don’t have to do this & i have other people to read.

The thing about JKR and telling folks not to buy Harry Potter shit is it isn't because we think it can take away her fortune and platform. She's so rich she would still be rich if she never sold another book It is because it is literally the smallest possible hurdle to clear to value trans lives

i have so, so many furious things to say about this but just to scream about one: when corporations declare themselves able to decide what art is or not made specifically for getting off, they are absolutely going to use that power to target even the tamest of queer art first.

Kickstarter officially banning adult content now. Knew this was coming, but it still sucks to have yet another part of the internet that I've been explicitly evicted from. Digital gentrification is exhausting.

The first teaser trailer for the new ‘HARRY POTTER’ series drops tomorrow #HarryPotter

So in a letter Tolkien said that LotR ended about 6,000 years before the modern day, and the genes for white skin didn't appear until around 7,000 years ago... which means that if you wanted to be a stickler for "accuracy," Rings of Power should have zero white people.

Apparently it is NOT ok to refer to cleaning supplies as "janitalia".

TTRPG argument starter for Friday 15th January. That RPG you enjoy? The system doesn't do it's job properly and if you're enjoying it then you're obviously playing it wrong. Checkmate, nerds.

This is simply not technically possible. You cannot generate enough writing in-house to train an LLM. You cannot generate enough art in-house to train a GAN. People who think they have a model "trained on our own material" are using a base model of mass-scraped data, unknowingly or disingenuously.

Larian CEO says Divinity could have gen AI assets in it but only if the tools are trained on the studio's own data. "If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it'll be trained on data we own." https://kotaku.com/divinity-gen-ai-larian-bg3-reddit-ama-2000658429

@illumicrate.bsky.social I've finally fixed my @robinhobb.bsky.social shelf with your gorgeous special editions. But now I need you to make the rest please!

I’m old enough to remember the strike that happened a whole year ago because companies like Netflix claimed they don’t have enough money to pay residuals to actors for their work. Netflix has $82 Billion to buy Warner Bros.

Been playing some @littlecornersgame.bsky.social and realised that they'd make super cute isometric scenes/maps for TTRPGs

a strong case could also be made that if you were confused by why Bill and Ted would cast themselves in WAITING FOR GODOT, you might also not fully understand Bill and Ted

Claire Willett@clairewillett.bsky.social · 10mo ago

a strong case could be made that in fact, by selecting this play for themselves to star in, Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter have demonstrated that they understand WAITING FOR GODOT better than anyone else alive

A good weekend should consist of one day when you do like 25,000 steps and another where you move so little that your Fitbit briefly considers triggering a welfare check.

Somehow PayPal can stop your account if you buy some erotica, and the government can arrest anyone who uses the words “Palestine action” on a t shirt, but this shit is going ahead…?

Dave A. Wesley invented roleplaying.¹ Dave Arneson invented D&D. Gary Gygax gave it boring rules. I don't want to hear a conversation about the origins of the hobby unless you are about to talk about a guy named "Dave" followed by an "A" somewhere.

Just saw a post asking if anyone’s cracked the code on why millennials look younger than their age, and another post stating “millennials are dying at an alarming rate.” I can only conclude this means we’re all in purgatory and frankly, that explains a lot.
