HEXED looks…fine. But WILDWOOD and FORGOTTEN ISLAND? I will RUN to theaters to see those, day one. Because just from the trailers, I can see the love the artists put in & both look like a blast to have worked on HEXED looks like an exec said “magic & witches are popular rn so this’ll make money”

Icelandic uses various animal poop in insults. Examples: Sparðatíningur (lamb poop picking) = you’re nitpicking. Kríuskítur (arctic tern poop) = you’re super pale. Tittlingaskítur (small bird poop) = doesn’t matter/small fry. Taðskegglingur (horse poop beard) = you’ve such a bad/nonexistent beard.

A nuance I feel is being somewhat lost in discussion around Larian's use or non-use of genAI is that the way Swen is talking here bears all the hallmarks of a CEO who does not realize that his employees have been Handling him in the way employees have always Handled dumbfuck top-down directives

I don't think I've ever seen someone fumble this much good will before. Larian was like THE golden child after BG3. They basically had a golden ticket for whatever they released next to be successful. Then this dude fucks it by saying this shit. Like it's true what they say. There are no good CEOs

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

we live in a society where it's just kind of casually accepted that advertisements, politicians, cops, textbooks, etc. are going to constantly lie to you and it's on you if you can't keep up. that's not how it works. trying to live like that leads us directly to where we are now.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

I loved this. And I want to note the whole “there were no autistic people before …” discourse has an answer here: just the people were sent away in the incarceration (yes “care homes” like this), and if they fled, they were just abandoned by society, usually to die.

A variety of still photos from my trip to Háifoss in Sept 2022 that I posted the video of. Beautiful and impressive place :) #Iceland

A wide view of a huge waterfall falling from the top of a flat-topped mountain into a wide canyon. There are a couple of waterfalls at the bottom. The sky above is a wonderful blue and there are lines of basalt columns and other interesting geology on the cliffs. A river can just be seen at the bottom of the photo, in shade.

Long exposure photo of the bottom of a waterfall hitting the rocks below, with a rainbow on the left hand side.

Long exposure photo of the bottom of a waterfall hitting the rocks below, with a rainbow on the right hand side - very different effect from the previous photo.

The photo is mostly of a rainbow - with some weird shaped basalt lava rocks at the bottom left and spray from a waterfall at the bottom right. The rocky bits look a bit like old troll heads, reclining & looking up at the view.

It’s sad that the discussion around pornography is always framed as “it’s potentially harmful.” It’s also potentially healthy? What did you learn about yourself, your body, your gender, your preferences, your boundaries and your self expression through the smut you consume?
