Week 1 - Human x Monster #art #wlw #yuritober
Two women in gothic inspired outfits dance in a moonlit graveyard. One wears a long black dress with a corset, while a pale ghostly woman behind her wears a flowing ruffled dress. Stars and a glowing green moon fill the purple night sky.

in case you missed it, i wrote about Kurt Cobain and the longstanding speculation about if he was trans ellaguro.blogspot.com/2026/10/was-...

"was Kurt trans?"

the Kurt stuff is difficult to me because i understand the value of claiming him for a lot of reasons, but he is also such a pillar of the kind of 90's nostalgia that has become very toxic at this point in time. anyway, hopefully i did a good job unpacking it

Please remember that for every VE Schwab and Stephen King, there are a lot of banned Black, queer, and POC writers you've never heard of, to whom it is maybe not a badge of honor but a denial of their voice. Being banned is not a marketing opportunity, unless one is already rich.

Elon Musk, who is estimated to have ensured the mass deaths of 16 million people by 2030, most of whom will be children, is also history's most prolific creator and distributor of CSAM. He has basically infinite money to avoid facing any legal consequences whatsoever for his vast, vast crimes.

This is what I'm talking about when I bring up that genAI bots are making it impossible for an open web to actually exist. It becomes expensive, a pain, and domain providers like cloudflare are profiting off both the people making bots and the people who don't have the tech skills to fight them off

PicoCAD2 feels so easy and natural to use it's really let me get into 3D modeling in a way I probably wouldn't have otherwise. Where another software may have too many tools (and be a bit overwhelming to me TBH), PicoCAD's simplicity made it really easy to learn and stick with

SRC changed their terms of use yesterday, and released a news post with an FAQ. They make it sound like not a big deal. It's a big deal. The Creative Commons licence is gone. They claim ownership over the data now. Thread about what this means, and what we can do about it 🧵

What can we do? - Export your own runs - Talk to your game's mods. - Ask Elo directly (mail, their news post, discord) Not asking to switch to my leaderboards, I don't give a shit about that. This is about much more. Community backlash to this has changed their mind before.

I wrote a blog post to go deeper into all this and to spread awareness. Please read it to dive deeper into what this all means. therun.gg/blog/leaderb... I spent like 10 hours reading through the terms to really understand it, but I'm not a lawyer. This is not legal advice
