Y'all ever just absolutely haymaker yourself completely unintentionally?

I will never get over the betrayal of how far and how quickly Air Gear drifted from the premise of "high tech skates that let you do hyper parkour to carve up the city and the sport and turf wars that came from that" to "nonsense, combat that barely has anything to do with skating, not in the city."

my plane activity is reading random shonen jump manga and let me tell you 95% of shonen manga is just this chart, it starts out fun and full of personality and devolves into identical battleslop, sucks

Thank you and much appreciated. The opening lines are 😘

If both bsky and discord sink under the waves (given that discord is still planning to go ahead with the ai age verification with a shitty company as a partner, last I heard, and bsky's half built on ai code too) I have my mastodon in my bios because I assume/hope it'll be slightly more resilient.

If bsky explodes forever I guess the next best way to reach me is to extinguish a candle on a full moon night and let the smoke carry on the wind and reach me, I'll know its from you. Or discord, I guess.

I am just so incredibly tired of goddamn ~"generative ai"~ There's been at least 3 news stories in the past week that range from deeply disappointing to infuriating on their own, let alone together.

We'll keep on pointing at this comic by @skutchdraws.bsky.social and @hbomberguy.bsky.social until it's embarrassing for tech bros to call you a luddite for hating AI! More of Failure to Launch in the link bsky.app/profile/iron...

George Lucas likens AI sceptics to luddites clinging to horses and carts

Sarah has been saying this for a long time and she's right. It definitely matters that so much propaganda etc is free and good journalism and writing is often behind paywalls. We're living through the impacts of all this.

"So, if I use ChatGPT you think less of me?" Yep. Hope this helps.

Anyway I’m half expecting most other social media sites (including this one) to become unusable or literally go offline at some point in the nearish future so my mastodon link is in my bio just in case.

If Bluesky logs me out of my phone one more time for no reason I’m not logging it back in. It’s not like I’m posting from it anyway, and I still get notifications even when I’m logged out so ???

The American taxpayer is responsible for making Musk a trillionaire: without the billions in public funds that have repeatedly bailed out and kept afloat his multiple failing businesses, he'd be just another serial bankrupt. His fortune was built on OUR backs. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A future Dem government should nationalize SpaceX and rip it away from Musk. He gets NOTHING in return and the US gets its NASA investment back.

Truly the concept of infinite infinities is never more personally evident than when I just keep adding increasingly granular steps to the process of doing a thing.

This Q&A from @sarahkendzior.bsky.social reminded me of a skeet from @gregpak.net a while back on Microsoft and how annoying subscriptions are for Office now; back in the day, you just get a disc of it and keep it forever.

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

new pfp, trying out a new coloring method. It's alright! #IvyArt

fuck sam altman forever for taking away the last places where we could engage in good faith: the creative arts, which should be a testament to human ingenuity. i am so mad that everything i read or listen to or admire is now tainted with doubt. do you understand? he is a thief of joy and i HATE HIM

I was today years old when I made the connection that Louis Sachar author of Holes was also Louis Sachar author of Sideways Stories from Wayside School. Huh.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

This being a Disney+ thing aside, I'm certainly intrigued.

Hey so when did youtube get rid of the quick buttons for queueing videos or adding them to the watch later playlist? And why was it not long after they added the stupid and useless "Most Relevant" bar of videos in my subscription feed that just doubles certain videos?

Hmm...having an issue where twitch isn't loading for me properly in my main window but it is loading in an incognito window. Which started happening at some point last night, and rebooting the browser hasn't helped. Normally, my next step would just be clearing the cookies for the site,

I got called out on the first screen smh

This is the truth about the Democrats, put to words much better than I could ever muster.
