For the morning crew, last night's prelim work on "Run the Set", my "place-making" love letter to small local FGC scenes. You make up characters and use actual fighting games to determine your results. Set up so you can run it like a fictional "weekly".
Quinn murphy@gamefiend.bsky.social · 20h agoLong day of work, but still managed to do a little work on "Run the Set". It's coming out pretty cool, I think! Also, I cannot wait to drag my other friends into this one with me lol
how u take the melanin out the melanin It's like their skin is sad
Justin Carter@gigawattconduit.blacksky.app · yesterday😭
Today's reminder that the current genAI boom is powered by GPUs manufactured with the mineral coltan (and other rare earths, and cobalt) mined through the labor of enslaved children in Congo, and the US and UAE fund the paramilitaries which protect those mines and keep those children enslaved.
I’d like to keep having a place to live where i can continue to only get a half night of sleep lol
Danny Lore@weredawgz.blacksky.app · 2d agoI hate to have to do this again, but starting another (hopefully smaller) GFM. We are trying to start new endeavors, but we need to stay housed until then. gofund.me/f1aa8129f
“We live in a world where Palestinians are treated as creatures without rights, as beings to whom anything can be done and against whom any harm can be inflicted,” Chokr said. “Simply, in the eyes of such a system, we are not fully human.”

I've recently started finding box office numbers interesting because they're representative of how well marketing and social media got people into seats. I don't know what movies are popular with the general public or why, so I use the box office and review scores to get an idea.
Molly Templeton@mollytempleton.com · 2d agothe least interesting thing about any movie is its box office. please. why has this become a thing that totally normal people talk or care about. stop telling me! it is irrelevant! making money doesn't make something good (or bad!)!!!
today fuckin sucks send funny memes or tiddy or news of the death of evil men
this is a pretty well-known piece of history in LA (ime) but I don't think that the general public is all that aware of it
David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 3d agoIs everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.

My mentor called this "marching for exercise not for justice."
ThatGirl523@bigdocenergy23.bsky.social · 3d agoA scheduled walk. These ppl refuse the power of riots.
Yep. This is the clearest description of Karl Popper's rule I've found:
they water down every hero - invert their entire message if possible, from Jesus to MLK to John Brown they have to convince their people that standing for nothing - and not standing at all - is the ideal human behavior
same feels. white folk get all hype about how John Brown they are online but won't tell their racist uncle to stop saying "the Blacks", let alone put belt to racist ass.
Chantal James@chantalalive.blacksky.app · 3d agoOh ma gawd now you tryna set me off about the loser whites in the cult of John Brown who can't even be around real life Black people without squirming & never paid attention to issues facing the Black community a day in their life but think they bout to set fire to the establishment & be a hero.
my crush doesn't know that I stare at the scenery outside of bus windows whispering their name and smiling to myself cuz I'm a real yearner.
I hate how the main theme of the modern economy is "you're not allowed to leave."
I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
Please use this link twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92338... and tell twitch how fucking insane this is. Comment and let twitch know that this is horrible. Thank you

Zach Bussey 🍁@zachbussey.tos.gg · 5d agoTwitch 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.
Mychal sits & shares that Ms. Rachel posted, “Black boys deserve to grow up.” This is not controversial, it is hope. Black library kids deserve to grow up to become Black library grown-ups. Black boys deserve to live in a world where that has not always felt true. Black boys deserve joy ✨
