Full video on YouTube. It's a delightfully cozy take on powerwashing. You're a little sushi cleaning up big messes. I love how detailed some of the "tiny world" aspects are and the (optional) mechanic of mold slowly growing back if you aren't quick enough. store.steampowered.com/app/3688130/...

And fresh on the heels of this: That feeling when you finish a book only to discover that a book that you had pre-ordered has come out and is ready to be started.

Fun fact about us truckers: lots of us are *voracious* readers. They're one of my favorite ways to occupy my brain while driving all day.

If SCREEN were to pass, you'd be required to scan your face and upload an ID to access this site because it allows "harmful" material. This affects you even if you don't care about sex work or porn.

Mike Lee's SCREEN Act, which heads to Senate Commerce Committee for markup on Wednesday, would expand age verification requirements to a nearly limitless scope of websites, and is supported by the architects of Project 2025.

Iceblue the Kitten Daddy@icebluetv.bsky.social · 2d ago

Hi, yall know I don’t like asking for help, but sometimes you gotta suck it up. If yall could repost and get eyes out, I’d very much appreciate it. My car battery is essentially dead or it’s literally on its very last leg. Took me 10 minutes to get it started this morning ko-fi.com/iceblue_/goa...

here's what we made today!

I don't want to say that one of the biggest corporate obstacles in making that Blade movie was that Blade is black but I am thinking it

the people you hurt, even unintentionally, don't have to hear your apology if they don't want to. they don't owe you that. so if you reach out to apologize and are rebuffed, just take the L and move on. we all take them sometimes. if you can't respect that simple boundary, that's a huge red flag.

Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.

Assuming any of this is real, I will burn my stream to the ground and bury the ashes if they want to start feeding my streams to the Gen AI machine. I'll stream somewhere else. Nowhere. I don't care. I'll go outside and setup a projector or something. I'm so fucking sick of this. No one wants this.

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

Omg not Hank Green using AI for research and calling to his “bad habit” 💀😭🤡

Chevron disclosed $12B in earnings a $9.6B jump over the same quarter last year & their biggest profit since 2020. ExxonMobil said Friday its earnings were $14.5B, more than double what they reported for the same quarter last year. Time for a Windfall Profits Tax. This is out & out greed.

Seattle Storm co-owner suspended for 5 home games. The WNBA has chosen a side. Now, transphobic protesters have an incentive to goad players, team staff, and fans into reacting to get them kicked out or suspended. sports.yahoo.com/wnba/article...

i would rather share an article from an outlet with some principles rather than something that reads like a paid puff piece for something completely reprehensible (according to the screenshots, because i sure as hell ain't giving that other article the clicks they so clearly are begging for)

Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.

the helpfulness i am referring to at the start of this quote is that reading this book helped me to recognize that as a nonbinary person i am also trans, regardless of if i do anything medically or surgically *i am still trans*.
