He absolutely said this to someone I have zero doubts

"and then I looked her straight in the eye and said 'I stand by that statement!' all calm and collected and shit. Man you should've seen her face man. My voice didn't shake or anything and I leaned back in my chair all normal and cool while they all seethed. Yeah drainin' the swamp, baby!"

This part of the muse privacy and security debacle manages to be worse than it agreeing to lowball offers in your name on marketplace, giving the buyer your address, and then telling them you're home when you're not; because this part? The "it reading messages you explicitly told it not to" part?…

Meta Muse AI reportedly read Mac Messages without consent

In a completely unsurprising turn of events, Meta's Muse AI is stealing Apple Messages, past and present, and uploading the contents to its cloud, even if explicitly told not to.

Okay so I've built a new Atlas, this time it lets you explore the conversations on Bluesky over the past 7 days graphically. It should update every ~6 hours and help you navigate the information environment that exists on here. I've learned a LOT about what people do here today... atlas.jazco.dev

This is informed by me living in a gerrymandered state where voter suppression is so high that overwhelming numbers are basically the only thing that can beat incumbent Republicans but: WE GOTTA VOTE FOR BETTER EVEN IF IT'S NOT BETTER BY ENOUGH Not "just vote", vote AND push for better AND advocate

Of the types of troll, I feel like sealions are one of the most insidious. Especially because doing it takes thought AND some understanding of the subject. And some dare to claim what they're doing is the socratic method which is .. ugh. It's the socratic method like mud is water

I watched a thing about a restaurant that was failing and the head chef/owner was from Japan but started changing his food to kinda cater to white folk (Japanese "fusion"), but it didn't work so he compromised more of his food, and it still didn't work,

Hey DMs/GMs/Tabletop players! I'm making a little journal for tabletop sessions. QUESTION: If you had a 5x6 space to fit some info printed on paper of some kind, to have handy, what would it be? Stats, prices, rules, blank space for notes, other? #dnd #ttrpg

A bundle of pages hand-bound with needle and thread on top of a strip of leather, space available for additions is about 6"x5" if leaving space around it (which I guess I should do)

Chris the DM @confusatron.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I never do this but for real, man. We HAVE to oust the bastards in charge, and lots of the things these two (hinojosa especially) want to do are very good things I want them both to win but I'd feel especially good if hinojosa beats Abbott because that's Texans voting for who's in charge HERE

131

Chris the DM @confusatron.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Hey if Texas flips the future gets SO MUCH less grim, for Texans and for the whole country, and I don't think that's an exaggeration. So if you can, donate to Talarico and Gina Hinojosa. Both are leading in polls, but yeah... polls. Even just $1 earns you a digital high-five from me

I've gone back and forth on this subject in my time on this earth but I've landed on the belief that refusing to thank people for a minimum level of decency and kindness is like training a dog without ever rewarding the desired behavior, only punishing them if they do it wrong

Looking at a good thing a person's doing and having nothing to say other than "they should've done this and should stop doing business with these people and should do this more" is gonna be an easy mute from me, man. Purity bullshit has no place in a world where actual progress happens

So Paxton is behind in every demographic except people 50+ years old. I really hope I don't age into a single-issue lemming Like, the only real reason to vote for this man is brand loyalty. He's not that likeable, he's riddled with scandal... and he dresses like an interim youth pastor.

Ok but elohim IS a "non-binary" term though But these dudes also legit believe the Bible that a bunch of men edited and translated is exactly the way it was originally. Rather than a game of telephone played with a bunch of racist old farts. Really pretty wording though! So yeah

I heard about a deepfake smear attack against Talarico and thought "god that's terrifying" and just now I finally watched it and OF COURSE IT'S STUPID

Ok finally got it to work. It was truly doing nothing for most of the times I clicked it. Loaded it as desktop page, maybe that helped? Horseshit regardless

A fun thing is that I just went to check my voter registration online and when I click "submit" LITERALLY nothing happens. It doesn't try to load something and time out, no progress bar, nothing. Watch Texas, y'all. It's bad. It'd be real cool if the dnc would decide to actually spend anything here

One advantage is that in pictures Talarico looks like a very nonthreatening, relatively handsome white guy... and Ken Paxton almost always looks drunk, smug, or drunk and smug. And the rare times he doesn't look like either of those, he still looks like the dirty police chief in a crime drama

When I see some dude talking about a woman getting a boob job, he's usually talking like it's A) a personal attack B) deceptive and downright dishonorable C) confirmation she's a vapid idiot who used to be talented I sure hope we're raising boys better on the whole because this bullshit is tired

Ok yeah I'm gonna do a whole thing on this because THE THING IS the original bit was funny. The original bit was: guy is filming a commercial, guy can't get the lines right despite it being one line, because guy was hired just because he's handsome. The line was "liberty mutual something something"

This biz with Republicans shutting down like 92 polling places in my area is exactly the kind of thing that happens a lot around here. If you're of the understanding that Texas is a solid red state where most people vote for these bastards I need you to watch stuff like this. It'll keep happening

The Brits say lots words in ways that are in my opinion very wrong (taco for instance) but there are times their pronunciation is far superior. Some of them are: bastard squirrel figure darling
