My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.

Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for your love's sake.

Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit

This right here. You can have nuanced, good faith concerns about how we accommodate trans students but when you cave to the "no boys in girls sports" bigotry this is what you're surrendering to with little gain to show for it.

Heads up to my fellow ttrpg designers, heretofore undiscovered picklist by Bram Stoker just dropped

Anthony Oliveira@meakoopa.bsky.social · 3d ago

I am going through Bram Stoker’s earliest notes on DRACULA today - they include a list of the powers and features of the Count (then named “Wampyr” before Stoker stumbled on “Dracula”), many of which are never elucidated in the book…

New EU rules stipulate that people must be told when they’re interacting with AI or looking at AI-generated or -edited content, leading to fear of “disclosure fatigue.” www.wired.com/story/europe...

Serwer is right about the conditionality of gender identity threat manipulations. It doesn’t make *men* more conservative; it makes men who (a) value traditional masculinity and (b) are insecure in their gender identity more conservative.
