mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 11/10/2026It's kind of crazy to think Star Citizen has been in development for almost half of that time. 000
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Is "one income families" the PR spin for 50% unemployment? 000
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 08/10/2026The AI industry intentionally wants to create confusion and obfuscate the differences between kinds of AI. The kind of AI that's useful for modeling proteins isn't the LLM chat bot that your boss is obsessed with. 180
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It's also the only bar at the inter-quadrant trade hub owned by people who are transitioning from from brutal occupation to self-governance. By all rights it should have a crime rate like Babylon 5, so one a week isn't bad. 010
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It's for welding plastic. That's more of a plumber thing than an electrician thing. 100
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The obvious solution is to buy 4x more F-35's. 110
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 16/09/2026The writers definitely learned about one Apache factoid and shoe horned it into a rediculous obstacle the hero has to overcome. In reality, if the helicopter requires someone use a particular eye, the army is going to select for that before anyone even gets accepted for pilot training. 000
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Fire Birds starring Nic Cage and Tommy Lee Jones. The periscope thing was based on the eye tracker used to aim the chain gun. For whatever reason it was supposedly easier to train someone to have a different dominate eye than it was to move a monocle from one side of a helmet to another. 120
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 11/09/2026It can be both. These people never pass up an opportunity to do corruption. 110
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 10/09/2026They are burning the Patriots because the DoD hasn't developed any alternatives that are cheaper. They apperently failed to imagine they could be on the receiving end of Ukraine style drone warfare. 120
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 08/09/2026What's worse is that humanity is being trained on the current state of AI. 011
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Yep, even more suspicious that daycares don't let strange men with cameras in to see the kids. 0120
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 04/09/2026There's this idea that social justice is all about scolding, but there's no rule that says you can't have fun and be a little silly while demonstrating growth. Good comedians understand this and choose to embrace it instead of being defensive. 000
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 27/08/2026None of us were alive for the Trail of Tears, but America as a nation absolutely bears the responsibility and deserves the criticism. That's not a legacy we can just absolve ourselves of because Andrew Jackson was a prick. 000
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 27/08/2026My assumption is that's it's a formula that works just well enough while being repeatable and simple enough for an AI to do on autopilot. 040
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Sometimes there is a requirement to make a reasonable effort to return lost property to its true owner. Informing the store would be the most logical way to do that because they are who the true owner is most likely to contact. 000
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Totally. It's not the store's money any more than it's his. As far as I can tell this would be considered lost property, the only obligation he had was to tell Walmart, not give it to them. 1150
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Forget broken windows policing, filled potholes governing is what cities need. 020
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Any policy that reduces crime without incarceration, policing, or surveillance is inherently aligned with the goal of abolishing the police. 1141
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 02/08/2026I view it like cooking. A burger is a trope. You could get a tasteless artificial burger like McD's. Or you could get the best ingredients, grill it to perfection, and serve up a gourmet burger. Understanding the trope or the ingredients doesn't make it taste worse. Skill and taste are what matter 070
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 29/07/2026A child who can advocate for themselves almost certainly grows to become a better parent themselves. 020
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Honestly, even if they don't, how much worse could it get? 010
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 12/07/2026What does middle America think of sharting? We interviewed 3 Ivy League grads living in DC to understand why both sides are the same. 000
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 28/06/2026It kind of has to have AI BS in it because Wallstreet has decided all their eggs need to go into the AI basket. I work for a blue chip stock that doesn't have a reason to get into AI. We're down 20% just because inventors are selling to free up capital for AI stocks. 000
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 04/06/2026100% We learn by doing. There's a reason we call concept sketches 'studies'. By drawing several iterations of a subject, we are learning more and more about the thing we're creating. 000
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 02/06/2026It's because when they are at that point, money isn't money anymore, it's power to control people. No good person is driven by the need for that. For anyone who is driven by that, there's no such thing as enough power. 000
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 30/05/2026This is like the horseshoe theory of gender studies. When Nazi's embrace misogyny enough they turn gay. 010
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 27/05/2026I don't think it needs to replace a single white collar job for it to accomplish their goals with it. They want top cover to do layoffs while keeping the growth narrative. They then want the fear of AI replacement and further layoffs to get the remaining humans to work more for less. 130
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Oh I know, the idea is rediculous. Which is why the idea that it's hypocritical for an individual to buy gas that was produced by certain countries is rediculous. The only consumer choice is what octane to get. 000
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 06/05/2026I'm trying to imagine a gas station that only sells more expensive ethically sourced gasoline from local driller co-ops. 110
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 01/05/2026Well maybe if we start electing more leftist with fight in them instead of centrist liberals who are only concerned about their AIPAC checks, we can get a congress that does things. 000
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 29/04/2026That's the thing about impeachments. The body that acts as jury is also the one that decides on what is impeachable. If the SCOTUS can creatively interpret the constitution to achieve their political goals, so can Congress. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. 120
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 25/04/2026I'd only buy that for places that truely had zero budget to begin with. Like I saw some AI illustrated ads in the window of an immigrant owned and operated tailor at the mall. If that sign wasn't AI, it was going to be a stolen Getty image with the watermark still on. 120
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 15/04/2026Amazing! Making it free for individuals is going to drastically increase adoption. I don't see any info on business pricing though. 000
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 13/04/2026In all caps, so you know he's a big important man who's dad definitely respected him. 000
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 13/04/2026He must have meant the Pope was weak at doing crime, as in 'get on my level bro'. 110
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 12/04/2026I'm making more money than I ever thought I could with my career path and I've experienced -20% real wage growth since 2019. I wouldn't say I'm barely hanging on, but I don't see a path to retirement. We can work ourselves to death and still have to work until we're dead. 0210
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 09/04/2026It's funny because Evangelicals also exhibit some of the least Jesus-like behavior. 010
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Even if they could, do they think moving the traffic to an even narrower waterway less than 100km away will make ships any less of targets? 000
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 08/04/2026I don't disagree with that at all. More that the bets were hedged. 010
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 08/04/2026For a long time I've been amazed by modern medicines ability to treat failing hearts and extending lives, now I'm wondering at what cost? In a just America, McDonald's would have taken him out 15 years ago. 010
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Oman yes, maybe he'll get a second plane out of the deal. Iran won't give him anything. I'm going to guess the grudge against Trump runs about as deep as it can go right now. My point is, he's positioned himself to reep corrupt benefits of jacked up oil from multiple sources. 100
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 08/04/2026He doesn't need to, he can go for getting a cut from Venezuela's oil now that prices are jacked up and remain jacked up. Traffic is moving, but that's a steep fee that will be priced into every barrel. 100
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 07/04/2026I feel like years successfully staying sober during a Trump term should count for double. 010
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 07/04/2026It's like he is a manifestation of our nation's sins. Anti-intellectualism, greed, corruption, racism, misogyny, consumption, narcissism. He has it all. 010
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 06/04/2026It's amazing and depressing how similar this is to Democrats in the US. They go campaign with conservatives using centrist policy only to blame progressives for not voting for them when they lose. Right now they are probably work shopping how to throw trans kids under the bus to win neoCons over. 010
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 23/03/2026The reason those longer seasons were a standard was because broadcasters had specific time slots to fill and they didn't want to go into reruns after 10 weeks. Streaming doesn't have those requirements, so they can get away with fewer episodes, allowing cost per episode to go up. 110
mographer.bsky.social @mographer.bsky.social · 23/03/2026That's part of the issue with the streaming era. We get 8-10 episode seasons that cost a fortune to produce. Back in the golden era of Trek TV and Stargate, we got 22 episodes made as efficiently as possible. That extra run time gives you so much more room to develop and get attached to characters. 120
