Alt text included. My apologies for missing it on the original post but I was a mess reading it.

Dear beautiful women,
I've started this letter like ten times and deleted it every time because every time I start I cry. So I'm just going to write it.
Your flag matters to me. It matters so much that it's flying at a lesbian household where anyone walking by can see it.
I'm a trans girl so I'm not sure you can relate but I'll try. Most days I'm doing math in my head like which hallway is safer, who I can sit near at lunch whether it's worth saying something or just letting it go. I'm so tired. I don't think people who don't have to do it know how tired it makes you.
I walk past your house almost daily. The first time I saw the flag I slowed down without meaning to. It was just hanging there like it was no big deal but to me it was everything. It felt like the people inside would see me as who I actually am and I wouldn't have to explain or prove anything. My shoulders dropped for the first time all day and I almost cried right there in front of your home.
I know that living here isn't easy for gay people like you where not everyone is kind about it so putting that flag up means risking stares, comments or worse. You didn't have to do it. It would have been so much easier to stay quiet. You did it anyway, and that is the bravest thing I've seen anyone do. Every day it stays up it tells people like me that someone is willing to be brave so we don't have to be alone.
Now I look for it. Some days it's the one thing that makes me feel like I'm not imagining that I deserve to be here. When so much of the world feels like it's deciding whether there's room for me your flag says there is. Please keep it up. You might not know it but it's helping me get through the day.
Thank you for your courage, and for leaving the porch light on for the rest of us.

I've never even heard of this one. Then again, I don't have cable/streaming and I have ad blockers on everything. Only way I'll hear/see anything about new movies is ad space on billboards, in stores, or word of mouth.

The world's biggest genius boy used his shitty genAI to place an order for him. Then he doxxed himself by posting screenshots of the order containing his personal info. How long until he insists he meant to do that or starts threatening to sue everyone who knows of his screw-up?

Great how genAI has ruined legit AI. When someone says "We're using AI tools," but don't elaborate, I know they're not using AI tools like predictive text, filters, or selectors that have been around for decades. They're playing with genAI and want people to be nice about it.

It's not even the ethics of it. My career, my hobbies, my free time, hell, my whole life took off once I fully left Twitter. It is a place to go if you want to be stuck in a neverending race war feedback loop. Like not using ChatGPT, not using Twitter is a superpower. Remain employable; stay off it.

I usually design my business cards to be conversation-starters. But at after too many endless awkward discussions at recent events, I realized I needed a new type of card. The conversation-ender.

A stack of business cards reads in English and Korean: Generative AI is unethical, annoying, and anti-art. Anything it touches will fail, and be a mark of shame on human history. I do not wish to discuss this further.

You probably think this is a touch of hyperbole. If you do, that just tells me not only are you not paying attention, you are actively ignoring all the trans people this has happened to. This is life in the UK as a trans person in 2026.

I was also wondering if it might've been a tech/money thing. Still, if they had it figured out, would've been nice to have an actual upgrade to the original game instead of just "we replaced one character with another."

I wonder if they couldn't figure out how to get co-op mode working properly. I know Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse didn't have co-op. Yet, sequels to it and FF had co-op modes (plus other fun stuff).

Busan has a new resident named Bukangi, a shark who started chilling in the canals near the train station a couple weeks ago. The city has been trying all sorts of schemes to gently lead her back to the ocean but she foils every attempt and swims back and forth being admired by crowds of fans.

The cluelessness of this reminds me a lot of the NFT grift. The thing about NFTs was that it was mainly something finance bros were into, and when they were trying to worm their way into gaming, their pitches were an abyssal trench of bad ideas because they couldn't grasp why people played games.

thinking about this again today, and not even in the context of procgen. The thing about systems design is that it's so easy to get excited about making little sandboxes for yourself that you forget the player needs insight into it, lest it simply appear the same as complete randomness.

Scratchy drawing of a two panel comic.
Panel 1:
Titled:“How we thought robots would kill us”
A robot shoots a human to death with a gun. It screams “Die flesh sack”

Panel 2:
Titled “How robots will actually kill us”
A MediBot is injecting something into a humans arm. The bot says “Whooops. I injected you with cancer instead of insulin. That’s on me”

I still wonder if the account was shared or hacked, because they used to post VERY differently. "genAI is a security risk" became "some genAI is actually good if used to fight the enemy." Also, "hacking is dangerous and difficult" became "I'm going to hack anyone who does that."

The site they were oh-so-important to is still running. The targets they were going to hack into oblivion never suffered a single blip. And, surprise, all that genAI pushing resulted in a sharp drop in views and engagement.

Got to love when internet tough guys say they're very important, can hack anything, and are using genAI "to fight the enemy," but all that comes of it is: "I'M GOING TO DELETE MY ACCOUNT IF THE ADMINS DON'T COMPLY WITH MY DEMANDS!" Okay, bye. See you in two weeks under another handle.

Proc gen is great for some things, like sandbox or strategy games where varied maps are part of the fun. But, cramming it into everything is ridiculous. "All the equipment and enemies are proc gen!" Ah. So, I'll be stuck with shitter equipment and enemies who one-shot me. Got it.

So Netflix is using "AI" to upscale old movies and shows, with obvious results. Using an algorithm to upscale old video isn't a terrible thing, but to do it right you need to have someone willing to go over every frame. Trouble is, dipshits think it's magic.

This isn't a metaphor. Just a story about a roach. COMIC ◆ www.smbc-comics.com/comic/roach-2 PATREON ◆ www.patreon.com/ZachWeinersm... STORE ◆ smbc-store.myshopify.com

4-panel SMBC comic update. The first panel shows a cartoon little roach happily saying "oh man! The stupid human put food in here. fool!" The next panel shows the roach walking away from a poison trap as he says "I’m gonna give it to everyone!" The third panel shows a human at his computer with a similar expression to that of the cartoon roach. The man says "this stupid company made a controversial ad. How embarrassing for them!" The man then walks away from the computer desk, at an angle reminiscent to the panel where the roach walks away from the poison trap. The man says "better share with all my friends and family so everyone knows which ad not to look at."

The "got someone killed through sheer arrogance" arc was definitely a good point. Wesley screwed up big time, he's trying to LIE about it, and no one's buying it? Wow, character development! I never saw Picard, but I heard about the cameo. Hot damn.

AzroVerde @azroverde.com · 18/09/2026

Yeah, that was good of the TNG writers. I might've liked early Wesley if there'd been more to him than "shows up sometimes to save everyone because he's just so damned awesome and smart." Also: Where did the powers come from? WHERE? There was potential here! Don't "just because" that shit!

AzroVerde @azroverde.com · 18/09/2026

After a rewatch, Wesley seems a bit less awful. But, he's still the author self-insert prodigy kid. "Everyone move over. The bold ensign/co-pilot/engineer (who's still in high school) is here to save the day! BTW, he has spacetime-warping powers now!" Him getting caught fucking up was a huge plus.
