Microsoft wants to build three massive AI data centres in Leeds. It’ll drain thousands of litres of water from the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop the council's final sign-off, but we need more voices. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...
Stop the Microsoft AI megasite in Leeds!

I've got something in my brain about #ttrpg players and parasocial relationships, but I'm not in the right headspace. We've all witnessed the rise in a parasocial relationship with D&D5e alone, buoyed by Critical Role and a few key others. But that pales in the shadow of Vampire: The Masquerade.
"Welcome to the Swinging Sixties in Duskvol! They fixed the shattered sun... everything is just groovy, the situation is stable... and you are here to Do Crimes!" Capsule review of Blades '68 👇
mburnamfink.bsky.social@mburnamfink.bsky.social · 2d agoFive, maybe six stars to Blades '68 by @olddog.games published by @evilhat.bsky.social I promise that no matter how hyped you are for this game, you are not hyped enough. #blades68 www.burrowedbooks.com/rpg/blades-6...
Hot take: you don't have a hot take, you have a subjective opinion. You're not special.
"I don't understand why you, a fantasy writer, don't appreciate the value of making bargains with the fae."
John Scalzi@scalzi.com · 2d agoEvery now and then someone takes a run at me along the lines of "I don't understand why you, a scifi writer, don't appreciate 'AI'," and I'm all, motherfucker, it's *because* I'm a science fiction writer I have the positions I have, how many times do we have to fucking yell "torment nexus," my dude

Stop calling me an amateur. I've been doing this for decades. I'm incompetent.
Saw this picture and trying to figure out the Diddy Kong situation is leading me down a rabbit hole that can only end with me rejecting the moon landing
airbnb I’m staying at unintentionally created the toughest punk album cover of 2027
I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses
I want companies to understand that when I see an AI flier, my brain instantly deletes it. I don't think, "Ooh, I should go to this event!" I rush past it like it's a pile of dog poop. Same for ads with AI models. I assume that if your marketing is cheap garbage, so is your product.
Are you nostalgic for the 80s, when foreign goods were rare and exciting? When you had to go to your rich friends house to see an AD&D book? Well good news!
Also, if you borrow an author's book from a library in the UK, that author gets more than 12 pence per loan in Public Lending Rights. Any author can earn up to £6,600 per year this way.
Tom Cox@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social · 2w agoSomeone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.
Listening to Music, Fashion, Film by Charli XCX Has anyone checked in on her? Is she ok?
I really want The Beyonder to show up in these next Avengers films so we can set up Tom Holland having to teach him how to poop.
It’s called Chekhov’s gun cuz when it gets used you can chekh that ov yer list
the most annoying thing about living here is tourists asking to meet She Who Slumbers in the Lake. buddy, we all want to meet her. that’s why we lure the tourists
The D&D DM segment of my clubs WhatsApp group is blowing up with exactly one of the reasons why I don't run D&D. New set of games. 95% of the players are PHB basic bitch. One guy has gone Shadar Kai Blade Singer Wizard. The relatively new DM is like "is this ok? We said 'official sources only'..."
Received my PoD copy of Blades '68 It's intimidatingly big. Like thicc
