We were watching that silly new Tom Hiddleston reenactment of the disaster of Pompeii and he was like ‘we have amazing new tech that allows us to track people through this disaster’ and I was oh no he’s going to say it’s an AI brain or something and then he said…. ‘Its a spreadsheet’ and I CHEERED

Finally mustered the time and energy to finish This Is How You Lose the Time War and tears keep streaming down my face.
I was going to go for whatever the next Samsung Ultra type phone would be, but the new Z Fold8 (not the Ultra) looks so nice. I feel like the new size would make my life a little harder for work though since I do so much build testing on it. 🤔
There will always be people who appreciate what YOU make, it just might take them a while to find you.

Calling the vet to get Kirby an appointment and the front desk asks "Is your cat vocal?" Kirby proceeds to yell very loudly followed by me saying "Yes" after a long pause. The front desk person laughs and follows up "Does this happen while he's doing his business?" "No just the rest of the time."
Visited the new Chicago Brand Museum today. It's fascinating. (It's not a museum of just Chicago brands; it's a museum of lots of brand, which happens to be located in Chicago.) Fans of typography, graphic design, package design, and more will love it.
In response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...
'Anthropic described the project as “our effort to disruptively scan all the world’s books” in an internal memo, which noted “we do not want it to be known that we are pursuing this project”.'
Dr. Jeroen W.P. Wijnendaele@drdragases.bsky.social · last wk.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.
Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t always try to be our best selves, else we risk becoming complacent and getting worse. It just pays to recognize our common humanity and our innate capability for causing harm, one way or another. What always matters most is how we move forward if and when we do.
“But I’ve never done anything wrong! I’ve never been the asshole! Right…?” Probably; likely without even realizing it, and no matter how we pretend otherwise. Whether it’s not foreseeing consequences due to inexperience or even taking part in society, no one gets through life without causing harm.
It’s a lot of young people raised online, well before they can understand how complicated morality really is and - importantly - before they can see that complexity in themselves. From experience, the realization that you, too, fall under a shade of grey is *crushing* if you’re used to moralizing.
Skylar Sunday 🔞 (semi-hiatus)@skylarsunday.bsky.social · last wk.Literally what fandom discourse has turned into I fear.
Finished Luminous by Sylvia Park after chipping away at it since Wednesday. Really enjoyed it even with the pacing being a bit inconsistent. Can't believe I've completed reading four books this year!
Something expensive I ordered arrived broken and my coping mechanism is to talk in a Kermit voice all night.
