I mean, the popular "clack-clack" of the shotgun isn't very different from the bolt-action rifles. And with a crossbow, you generally needed to do a fair bit of clonk-y cranking to re-tension the string. That li'l handcrank in the middle would be making some pretty good rattle & clack-clack-clack.

FBI supervisor told me that queer commune keeps stealing her undercover agents from her. I asked how many agents she has and she says every time she loses one she promotes another sad boy with pretty eyelashes so i said she's kinda just feeding eggs to the puppycule and her assistant started crying

This one act of sheer plagiarism. This lie that the plagiarism machine could ever be anything other than a thief. The math around crypto-currency has not changed. Nor the processing power required to crack it. Nor was this bit of stolen academia relevant to crypto.

Alyss Ardent @ardentslacker.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

The chatbots can't count the rs in "strawberry", remember? What happened was a mathematician's work was plagiarized by the Ai he was using. The company stole his work and published it as the Ai's. The chatbots remain a plagiarism machine. The fear of Ai hacking "the blockchain" is based on this.

Alyss Ardent @ardentslacker.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

Ahh, crypto. It can't scale up for mass use. There's no privacy as every transaction is public knowledge. There's no fixing any mistakes. No password retrieval. And it always had a finite span before the math would be cracked. Although, this isn't a "the Ai is smart!" thing...

"rainbow capitalism isn't a movement but it sure is a fucking canary"

Screenshot from Tumblr:
First, Tumblr user stopsignsworstenemy says, "i was going to do a rant about this before seeing this tweet but imma just leave this here" and shares a Bluesky screenshot from Sam (ABeardedPanda) which reads:
I have to say this leftist tendency to believe that if anyone profited anywhere from something it becomes inherently morally wrong is the dumbest shit in the world and is just arguing that perfect is the enemy of better.

Bluesky user Starfish Who Can't Thin... quote-skeets and adds:
Rainbow capitalism was good because the alternative we got wasn't rainbow socialism but "the guy who runs around being physically violent until Target removes all the gay stuff wins."

Tumblr user arrows-for-pens "peer reviews" and quotes hashtags from Tumblr user @runawaymarbles:
#been saying for years #rainbow capitalism isn't a movement but it sure is a fucking canary

Whether you want to accept it or not, the only way to deal with Nazis is to ban their existence altogether. Yes that's authoritarian. I don't give a fucking shit. If you want to protect Nazis and their human rights, you're a nazi. I want to see these people bowing their heads and keeping quiet.

I'm just hoping he forgets he has nuclear options, because I fully expect him to destroy D.C. while both houses are in session. I am honestly surprised he hasn't just sent ICE to murder the lot of 'em, and for him to pardon them for it.

So, the reason we mock horrible fascists is not to make fascists change their minds. It is to show they are mockable. It breaks the veneer of respectability and power. It gives others social permission to mock them. Satire is poisonous to power because it makes opposition both fun and collaborative.

I'll give 'em this, instagram figured out my egg before I was admitting it to myself. But then they stopped. Like, wait, some of that crap might be useful/nice once I'm out. The ONE time in my life they could have worn me down, and they gave up and switched to vacations I can't afford.

They're having an emotional response to this vacuous word cloud... this thesaurus salad. And even with something this literal, and spoon-fed... if you asked them what it meant, what it was about? They wouldn't have the words for it. They'd read it at you. Because the point of this is to not think.

oh god... it just hit me, it's worse than that. This, to them, *is* art. I don't mean "looks nice". I mean that where people would normally look at art and interpret and imply meaning, these folks are looking at THIS and finding it comfortable and affirming.

I've been rather enjoying the ones in Control: Resonant. Mostly because they're not exactly puzzles. One area, I had to follow a cable that was kinda cat's cradle'd with the room's geometry, to find the exit. Most things either involve following directions, or just looking around the environment.
