Empress* Rezeya I of House Montecore-St-Hobbes, True Sovereign* of Mars and not* just some tiger lady from the future squatting in Terran Space Corps bunkers 51, she/her/Your Majesty* [*disputed] A WEBCOMIC! YES! GO THERE! https://egypt.urnash.com/npol/
I never got around to mentioning that we finished & posted Chapter 2A of No Pizza On Luna, did I. Or the fact we were on the front page of Metafilter today? Did I mention I'm not good at this? Neither tigers nor Empresses* are real innately skilled at marketing. egypt.urnash.com/npol/chapter...

Hey, while we're dunking... Could somebody explain the "tulip panic" to this guy?
Terrans like us! They really like us! Real Earth humans prefer #NoPizzaOnLuna to algorithmic hegemony four-to-none! www.metafilter.com/214056/No-Pi...

No Pizza On Luna — in which Alba Green-316, glowbunny freak bred by anarchosocialist moon commies, comes to earth to save the world for cultural tourism out of spite and finds job clowns, soda...

"All the people who can still keep their job skills locally on their own brains and would not forget how to breathe if Skynet shut down, I have one question..."
Stefan E. Jones@stefanejones.bsky.social · 18h agoThe one AI thing I use is a text detection tool built into Mastodon's Alt-Text entry box. Does that count? It would be tedious to have to type things in but I could do it.
I have a very important question for my allies in social justice: What would be the funniest animal to release en masse in the Capitol Building while Congress is in session? Or better, the White House? There are many fine options, so do consider your answers carefully. 🦁 🐯 🐻❄️ 🦡 🐘 🐗 🪳 🐮 🐎🦆🐒🦇🫎 🦝 🦄🐳
AHEM. I SAID, I NEVER PASS UP A CHANCE TO PROMOTE MOONTOON. AND HER MAJESTY* WILL CONTINUE TO PROMOTE MOONTOON UNTIL SHE GETS THE ATTENTION SHE DESERVES. 😼 Seriously, though, I just really like Mammal Squad. Maybe I see myself in Lika. Like... what were we talking about? 😇

Yes. Every job I have there's at least one person I wish could afford to just retire or quit. Many need paid medical leave. Like, hi, I sympathize with your chemo brain fog but we both wish you were at home and someone else was trying to work here.
It's occurred to me that one of the big benefits of UBI is that it would *remove vast numbers of inept people* from jobs that they only do to survive, and free them to do things they're COMPETENT AT even if they don't pay anything. You don't, e.g., ever want yours truly waiting your table.

Did... did Scott Adams bite this motherfucker before he died? Yet another privileged fuck who thinks "reason" is a badge you get out of box of Ayn Rand Flakes and brandish at people-- not an actual practice that requires you to listen to, consider, evaluate, and fairly rebut contrary opinions.
(202) 224-2541 "Where's Mitch?" It's real simple. And I can tell their poor operator is at the brink of madness. Help me push him over it.
Wrote this reply to a friend asking why Gary Numan's "Are Friends Electric?" wasn't on a sexy robot playlist, and... I think I may have done myself some psychic damage in the process. 'Cause my world's already WAY too similar. (Well, except that my android wife is sapient, witty and supportive. 🫶)
"Stifle the urge to tell a hero of mine to quit whining and git gud" was *not* something that I had expected to do today! But I'm sorry, he's grousing about Slay the Spire 2 and the "problem" he is grousing about is 100% fixable. Take it from a cat who's just about to finish A10 across the board.😼
this feels like exactly the right amount of what this is, i.e., rather less of it than there was in its original form 😼 www.youtube.com/watch?v=lK9l...

It dawned on me today that I've been on the Internet for 40 years (if only on a technicality-- the "real" figure is 37.) Insert Martian riff on the Tannhauser Gate speech here, I guess. 😿🌧️⏰💀
#moodsnapshot Sorry, buddy. If it's any consolation, I'll probably be joining you within the year. I'm gonna get it from a much larger and meaner predator called a "plutocrat." I hope you at least got a good nip in at the bastard. I certainly intend to do the same when my time comes. Soon enough.
i'm also gonna subtweet ~60% of the Livejournal folks I ever tried to talk to about my chronic fatigue and ADD issues. the empress* of mars is not having a very cheerful day, sorry folks.

blatant subtweet: you can just block people who condescendingly insinuate the correct way to use bluesky it’s fine it’s good it’s a healthier online experience
Yyyyup. Randies generally just do the same thing to rationality that fundies have done to Christianity: ignore that it's a *system* that might oblige them to constrain or criticize *themselves* on some occasions, treat it more like an in-group badge you can wear *at* people to prove correctness.
The big question I've always had for Objectivists, but have never been able to tolerate one long enough to ask: "If the point of Rand's philosophy is that Objectivism is objectively and finally valid, truth is knowable and provable, and this is not just a self-deluding ego trip..."
I still think it's vital to read books whose ideas you hate. It's a vaccine. Test your memetic immunity on a regular basis. E.g., no book did more to inoculate me against Ayn Rand than Atlas Shrugged-- except maybe parodies of Atlas Shrugged. She left us a very helpful map of objectivist neurosis.
I can't find a geographical fact-checking job with 14 years of experience... and yet THIS crap is coming out of our government. (Blatant AI work; every single country is mislabeled or misplaced.) Oh, wait. Those are basically the same two phenonema, aren't they. Nobody even cares anymore. 😩🔫
just... bast fuckin' dammit i miss the days america's pop culture included real public intellectuals
One, I really miss having a decent place to show films to friends (and a big enough local group to bother with). Two, I have an urge to do a marathon of Room 237 (the Shining fan theories doc) plus all six episodes of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. Maybe *that's* why I don't have the local friends. 😅

This isn't real, you goofs. It's a trick coffin. They've got him bent backwards a little at the midriff and his lower half's stuffed into a little compartment underneath. They're neat. My dad insisted on one when he died. I want one too!
The Sleeper's Sleep@thesleeperssleep.bsky.social · last yr.I'm sorry, but this may be the funniest Facebook AI slop I have ever seen. Bury me sideways in my coffin, brother. Let my dog see
Humans are often surprised to hear that I'm actually PIRATE/KITTY. Technically, I'm a pokevolved version of Brak!
