you can treat the people who say 'video games are for children' the same way you treat people who say 5G is controlling your mind. that is, to ignore them. we're 40. Games have been around since the 70s. your grandmother plays wordle on her phone. we don't need these handwringing defenses

I like how his gravied brain got him confused with the guy who died in the car with Princess Diana 29 years ago but now he has to retcon that with some fake explanation and the press has to just pretend like this is normal racism and not Alzheimer's racism.

the big thing the rise of LLMs has revealed to me is that there is a not insignificant chunk of the population that considers cognition itself to be a frustrating and unnecessary burden

Aaron Swartz, coding prodigy and hacktivist who helped develop RSS and was a co-founder of Reddit, died by suicide after facing $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison for felony charges, just for downloading pdfs of research papers with the intention of making them accessible to the public.

Bro, if your doctor is doing a cognitive test every time you get a physical, there’s a reason for that, and it’s not because you keep acing them.

many centrists are as disdainful of science as MAGA these days. virtually every study on the topic, and there have been many, show that youth programs reduce crime. it's a settled question. this is no different from claiming vaccines are a hoax.

August - Alligator dad

Gustopher - Alligator son

Mewbert and Nougat - Cat - Animal - August and Gustopher's pet cats


Transcript

Panel 1

Setting - August and Gustopher's home at the kitchen table.

Gustopher is drawing when August checks to see what he's up to. August is holding and petting Mewbert. Nougat is looking at Gustopher's drawing.

August: What are you doing?

Gustopher: Drawing you and the cats.

Panel 2

Gustopher's drawing shows Mewbert and Nougat in the air wielding nunchaku. August is drawn rather large and round and has no weaponry.

Panel 3

August dramatically looks up in the air as his glasses flash. 

August: I am disappointed.

Panel 4

August: Why do the cats get nunchaku but I don't.

Gustopher: You'd hurt yourself.

August: That's... True.

Mewbert looks annoyed that August has stopped petting her and Nougat starts pawing at one of Gustopher's markers.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 14/10/2026
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are just coming home, arriving at their parking spot to find that the car next to their spot is parked just on the border painted between the two parking spots.
Blue: Ugh, the neighbour has parked right onto the divider line again.

Blue frowns behind the wheel, while Green sits on the passenger seat, looking unbothered.
Blue: Would you mind getting out of the car so I can park?
Green: Sure.

Having parked his car right next to the line as well, Blue peers out of the driver's seat. Green is standing outside, observing the parking job.
Blue: Am I still in our spot?
Green: Yep, you're in.

Blue's car is now parked right onto the border of the parking spot, so close to the neighbour's car that it would be impossible for the neighbour to open the driver's side door. Satisfied with the work well done, the foxes leave.

I'm going to elaborate on this in as calm and reasonable way as possible, but sincerely: fuck off
the society of authors' feedback form about why you're not renewing your membership. In the write-in box, I have written: "I was shocked and deeply disappointed to see the magazine issue and now charter statement on genAI, which both seem totally full of waffle and apologist compromises.

This is a technology being used to put authors and illustrators out of jobs, using stolen work, and depleting the capacity for critical thought in people who use it. I get that you’re trying to make industry bodies agree to the charter as a ‘small step’ in the right direction. But I fundamentally disagree with the idea of some ‘ethical’ use becoming possible - look at the companies running these things, the severity of its environmental and community harms, the exploitative processes used to build and maintain the databases and server banks required.

As a full-time author who's marginalised and severely disabled, I do also find the idea that genAI companies are somehow making my job more accessible - not looking to undermine and destroy it - insulting and patently absurd.

I thought the SoA was supposed to advocate for authors' rights, and pleading with industry bodies to use this tech, but nicely, feels like a massive concession, and not one I'm able to be at all associated with."

U.S. forces are retreating. That's what this means. "Pulled out and returned to their home stations in the U.S. as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns" is a fancy way of saying the Iranian military has the U.S. military in retreat. This is unbelievably embarrassing.

hbomberguy had a great joke about how he didn't think YouTube videos had souls until he experienced ones that don't. I have been feeling that about *everything* over the last few years. You don't notice fundamental values like "thoughtfulness" and "human connection" until you see their absence

More than what Frank said, I think a big reason VGHF has been able to build trust is that we've approached our collections in a way that is human and thoughtful, instead of just acting like wolves tearing at meat. If all you care about is Stuff, then you'll end up treating people's lives like Stuff
