Since I've had to remind multiple people over the last week: Microsoft is still under active BDS protest. That means Xbox and it's subsidies including Activision, Blizzard and Bethesda Yes that means the new Diablo. Yes that means the new DOOM. Yes that means World of Warcraft Forever

Huh! One of my professors also has essential tremors. That's wild. Not sure I've ever met literally anyone outside my own family who has that. Most everyone else responds to "yeah my hands are just Perpetually Shaky" with "have you been tested for Parkinsons"

Just gonna light this bag of dogshit on fire and walk away from the doorstep, but the people in media I hear saying AI has made them "more productive" appear to be producing less than ever, and worse things than ever. I wonder if they can even tell.
I'm both sad and pleased more people are finding out how utterly cringe and despicable LessWrongians are
Jay Edidin@edidin.bsky.social · 6d agoI have just learned about "Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality"; and, y'all,
"Your brains stop developing at age 25" was a press misrepresentation of a study. They wanted to see if brains continued to develop after adolescence, so the study was capped at age 25. A later study with a wider subject pool showed that brains are ALWAYS developing our whole lives.
thene@thene.bsky.social · 7d agothis is why it's my pet peeve fake science fact. It's absolute bs! nothing happens to brains at age 25, they do not "fully mature". you will notice that many societies have an age of majority or coming-of-age or whatever and none of them have ever chosen mid-20s.
Honestly, the asexuality part is really important. (Polyamory too for legal reasons especially.) People always demand why asexuality requires protection, but it’s already happening in many religiously conservative places—it’s being labeled a deviant “ideology”.
Libby from Biscuit@thisisbiscuit.org.uk · 5d agoSeattle makes polyamory, pansexuality and asexuality protected classes.
It's very exciting when I have my legs crossed in bed. Wow so tall wow!
Half my classes are also apparently more full of Year 3s than Year 2s, so maybe that's also part of it. Maybe I am once again punching above my weight class.
Rhem@rhem.bsky.social · 4d agoMy first full week of classes left me *fucking exhausted*, which is wild given how comparatively little time I spend *in class*. Really reminds you that the mind is a muscle and it can get strained. Granted, some of it might also be climbing those fucking hills at speed every morning.
It has come to my attention that ENTIRELY too many of you are sleeping on the goldmine that is the Official Pokemon Youtube Shorts. Behold. New vocal stim unlocked.

Unrelated, but - while I will fight for the em dash with my bare hands, I am increasingly mad at how AI feels like it's stolen my hard-won understanding of how to properly apologize for things. I feel like I sound like AI whenever I apologize for upsetting someone now.

I’m proud to have @hrc.org standing with us in this race. LGBTQ+ Michiganders deserve leaders who will have their backs when it matters most, not just when it’s politically convenient.
Human Rights Campaign@hrc.org · 5d agoMichiganders deserve a champion who has a history of fighting for equal rights for everyone. That’s why we’re proud to endorse abdulelsayed.bsky.social, who has:

Things that have made Doctor Who great: - Writing - Characters and relationships with companion/friends - Big SF ideas - A lead character devoted to compassion, curiosity, and overcoming their own aristocratic arrogance. Things that have never made Doctor Who great: - It being "cinematic."
Deadline@deadline.com · 5d agoThe BBC has launched a tender process for 'Doctor Who,' calling on producers to pitch a "brave" new vision for the iconic sci-fi series.
One more because I tried it on Fig and he would not even *think* about participating in my nonsense 😆
20 year old me could barely hold a conversation with another human, I'd say I've come pretty far.
