A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes
A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"

This really expresses the heart of the grief about the way I see my field changing around me. I'm sad to see a world where finding solutions to hard problems doesn't involve creativity or being clever.

“People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter.”

I am done with this shit. It is over. The state of engineering right now is horrible. It has been half a month since I started a new role at a big company.
Nobody knows anything here. The specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets, resolution of those tickets, reports, etc., everything is made by Claude Code.
Nobody on my team likes this. They are being forced to ship as much as they can. I have heard multiple times from higher management that pushing code is not a bottleneck, so why are we slow?People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter. Nobody is reading anything. Humans in corporate are doing nothing on their own. Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing.
Talk to Claude. There is no sense of victory. Nobody is resolving bugs. In reality, nobody is thinking anymore.
Everything is done by LLMs. It is so soul-sucking. I would not mind it, to be honest, if we were at least given the time to check out the code and see what is going where. But no, the goal is to just ship. No matter what happens.

disco elysium does a good job of filtering out the 'alpine witch' cozy crowd by showing us, before anything else, a mostly nude bloated alcoholic man groaning to himself on the floor. and also you have to be him, and also if you do a bad job of grabbing your necktie off the ceiling fan then your heart gives out and you get a game over. like it's such a beautiful and intelligent game, but I wonder if part of the universal praise it gets is from that highly vocal section of the populace getting yucked out at the start. or maybe I'm just stupid and overthinking things

this is why Dream Daddy got cancelled for having a canned halloween plotline, while in Disco Elysium you get to walk around in a jacket with piss f*ggot sprayed on the back and everyone loves it (rightfully, it's a really good jacket)

"If trans people want a boycott of The New York Times, where's the call to do so?" Here is a declaration laying out how the NYT is a key driver of trans genocide, why boycotts work and why anyone who gives a damn about trans lives and rights must boycott The New York Times.

Boycott The New York Times
For years The New York Times has relentlessly pushed anti-trans propaganda, playing a significant role in the escalating genocide against us. It's far past time for a call to action: anyone who cares ...

whether it ends up being any good or not, warner has staked far too much for this to be anything other than ubiquitous for the next few years. and really, the quality of the show is irrelevant to its primary mechanical function: giving its creator more leverage to wage a campaign of trans genocide

cancel all your heroes. it's not unhinged at all, it's actually the most hinged thing you can do. heroes suck, celebrities suck, rich liberals suck. they will always pick themselves or other cis people over trans people (even the pick mes) and we owe them nothing.

In other words it’s less about the precise moral calculus of playing Wordle or reading HP and more about the general problem that trans people are tired of asking for solidarity and support and getting so little of it, even while we’re under systematic attack.

Fix your hearts or die. You know how many of us joke that Pride month should be followed by Wrath? This year I feel a deep, burning fury towards all who use transgender lives as political propaganda. We are human beings. You cannot erase us. Happy Pride. Trans liberation at any cost. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
A digital illustration showing a knight in full armour. They are riding on a black steed which is mostly out of frame. The frame in question is green and shows a chain going around as a decorative element. That chain is broken by the knight's raised sword. From the knight's chest bursts a roaring flame in the colours of the trans pride flag.

When we finally break, it’s taken as proof that we were already broken. I think of this Malcolm X quote often: “…I have no mercy or compassion in me for a society that will crush people, and then penalize them for not being able to stand up under the weight.”
Tweet from jae holzman (@jaeporeon):
this story should be national news during pride month and instead barely anyone knows about it

Screenshot of article:
A lawsuit challenging Idaho's transgender bathroom ban in K-12 public schools could end soon, after a group at Boise High School suing over the law dropped the case.
The move came after a transgender student who was part of Boise High School's Sexuality and Gender Alliance died by suicide, and another stopped attending the school, the group's lawyers wrote in a legal agreement reached Wednesday requesting the case be dismissed.

A useful thought experiment for people who insist on thinking about "AI" as a thinking conscious being like us, is to think about what the universe looks like through the experiential apparatus of a Large Language Model. You experience time in turns which are always initiated by some outside force.
