Relieved that Kansas will continue to have one of the best processes for selecting Supreme Court justice in the country.

We'll keep on pointing at this comic by @skutchdraws.bsky.social and @hbomberguy.bsky.social until it's embarrassing for tech bros to call you a luddite for hating AI! More of Failure to Launch in the link bsky.app/profile/iron...

"Curse you spinning jenny, you ruined everything!" A simpleton looking peasant yells as they smash the wooden machine.

The standard narrative goes that LUDDITES were foolish lunatics who, in fear of technology, decided progress was bad, and started hitting it with sticks. (But the truth is entire ways of life were being destroyed.)

Previously, skilled craftsmen were respected for the time and effort it took to do their work. The entire family usit would form a cottage industry - creating something valuable, and command a decent living. But when a machine can work 10 times faster its owner can charge less for the prodcts- craftsmen couldn't compete and were left out of work almost overnight.

And as factories became a fixture of the british landscape, these now unemployed labourers often ended up working the factories that had just destroyed their way of life. Britain was the most prosperous nation in history, factory owners became extremely wealthy and influential. But the people doing the actual work saw almost none of it.

Replaced the blower motor resistor in my car earlier. I'm increasingly convinced vehicle engineers are all under 5 ft, because who else would place so many parts in such cramped locations?

The problem with the Steam Machine is NOT that it's overpriced, it's that it's not underpriced. If you go onto PCPartPicker and spec a comparable computer using inexpensive options, it'll be about $900 for a bulkier, uglier pile of parts you have to assemble and put an OS on. Its price is fine.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Someone should make a t-shirt that has two d20s on it like the "Yes they're natural" shirts, but they should show 10s instead. Underneath both should be a +10. And under that, it should say, "They may not be natural, but my build has some nice modifiers."

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.

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.

A perfectly authentic gumbo, it was not. But an earnest effort to make a good gumbo with roux produced a delicious meal. Next time I will be bolder with the heat so my roux takes LESS than an hour. And I'll probably enlist some help so the prep time goes much faster.

My favorite coffee is probably drive-thru hot chocolate that comes from the same machine as coffee. I love the faint flavor of coffee that's not quite overpowered by dairy and chocolate.

I realize this is hardly the most important thing to focus on, but for the same reason it is baffling that the regime has reverted their official correspondence to Times New Roman. Even moreso, as their dictum - er, memo - was titled "Return to Tradition." A 21-year-old tradition.

There's been a lot of talk recently about the AI bubble bursting soon. There was a lot of talk a few years ago about the housing bubble bursting, too, but prices and rents are still sky high. I think the bubbles of old have turned into balloons, and that's going to ruin life for us all indefinitely.

Bsky, we can't lean into a future where regulating social media means blanket rules that enforce unwanted censorship. The responsibility needs to be on the creator to label, and on the consumer to filter out the unwanted based on it. Not on gradually eliminating more and more content altogether.

The problem with the "Soup: No Bowl" post from Tumblr Dot Com is that it's as illogical as the writer believes "no bowl" to be. You expect me to believe that the Federation wouldn't hire beta testers? The replicator has substitutions for ingredients, but not vessels? The soup goes in a cup. Amateur.
