AI Doomerism, Moral Laundering, and Apocalyptic Cults
AI doomers are mostly members of a cult built around creating a machine god, and some of them are dangerous; this is also useful to tech elites both as moral laundering and because it slows down the r...

If you care about games, take a moment to read through this and take action. NSFW games might not be for you - they're not for me - but we cannot allow a small group of censorious extremists to decide that people can not make games about sex, about sexuality, and about the role of sex in our world.

Just as a statistic, Israel's government has gruesomely murdered 38 Palestinians today so far, statistically over half of them under the age of 16, many through methods explicitly prohibited even in the violence-accepting rules of war. It is 13:00 / 1 PM.

Remain open to chance encounters - they can change your life. Celebrate the success of others. Anyone who stops being a student never truly was one. Kindness can feel unnecessary when young - but it pays off with time, and is the right thing to do regardless of eventual reward.

We are in the midst of an administrative coup the like of which we have never seen - or even imagined - in our lifetimes. Every day brings new abuses, new scandals, which can’t just be undone or fixed. We are in a very dark place as a country and as a constitutional republic right now.

from The Journey of the Magi, T.S. Eliot
Snippet from ts Eliot poem journey of the Magi: 

All this was a long time ago, I remember,
And I would do it again, but set down
This set down
This: were we led all that way for
Birth or Death? There was a Birth, certainly
We had evidence and no doubt. I had seen birth and death,
But had thought they were different; this Birth was
Hard and bitter agony for us, like Death, our death.
We returned to our places, these Kingdoms,
But no longer at ease here, in the old dispensation,
With an alien people clutching their gods.
I should be glad of another death.

The freedom to pilfer, steal, and plunder creativity the UK is formally going to give to AI companies is absolutely staggering. If you're in the UK, take this stand right now. This is a fence that you can't put back up if it passes you, and it will kill the UK creative sector.

I honestly don't even know what to do with this anymore. The baseless narrative that every mass shooter is trans is completely solidified on the online right. It's completely memeified. No amount of fact checking breaks through. It's so incredibly dangerous at this moment.

It's now six-thousand dollars to 50% funded! This game cannot get made without your support, because none of the publishers want to take up a Palestinian-made narrative game about a historical ethnic cleansing. Without you, it doesn't happen.

I looked up the webpage and confirmed it's not viral marketing for a dystopian streaming series. It is grimly funny how public advertising now looks like what you'd see if you wore the glasses in They Live.

Thank god there's finally some useful technology. Yi-Fei Chen, aTaiwanese designer, has built a beautiful gun that collects and freezes tears, so you can shoot them at the person who caused them

Ok one more suggestion. Get some 1lb weights and do some pilates style pulses. Actually, try without weights to begin with. Can do it standing or sitting or lying down. Your arms will get tired real quick, but you'll be able to go for longer and longer with time.

Ok I made it to the gym today even though I had a migraine. Lmk if this uploads correctly. Idea is to go slow as possible. Can use knees for support to begin with which I also demoed. Tuck arms in to your sides as opposed to a regular push up.
