I build shows. Let's talk about games, pets, live entertainment, Star Wars, Sci-Fi, TTRPG, DCC, XCC #ForTheHorde

Finished the Main Story of Spider-Man 2 last night. Now I'm in "swing around the city and chill" mode. The question is, do I want to go for the Platinum trophy? Or shall I find another game to play around in?

Not a new video but definitely a feel-good one.. It features chocolate Labrador retriever 'Good Boy Ollie' and how his pet owner spent four days grinding at an English arcade to win >1,500 game tickets to trade for a plush seagull toy which he's been eyeing, whom they named 'Chippy' 💖🥰 #dog #awww

Crops grown underneath solar panels produce more, require less water and are more resistant to extreme weather, even during a hot, dry summer. We need agrivoltaics to be rolled out asap, for both the electricity and the better growing conditions. microgridmedia.com/solar-panels...

This is NOT about preservation. They are only doing this to harvest pre 2020's books to use for more training data. They have chosen this method that DESTROYS the book on purpose, because it is faster and cheaper. They know time is limited before society and the bubble catches up with them.

At the internet Archive, this is how to digitize a book.

We never Destroy a book by cutting off its binding.
Instead, we digitize it the hard way -- one page at a time.

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

I'm ringing the Flight Attendant bell as soon as this happens. "This person is disturbing my flight. I'm trying to watch Tropic Thunder here." If that doesn't work, then I'll walk up to her (but not close enough to be a threat) and start singing "Henry the 8th" at the top of my off-key lungs.

Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...

Looking at my timeline wondering why it's suddenly nothing but discussion of a movie. Then I realize it's all reposts from one account. I'll Mute for about a week, then see where the water falls after that.
