The anime title "discourse" is a silly nothingburger with both sides calling the other elitist, I really do think it's funny. Why stop at Romaji. Go all the way coward, write the titles in kanji as the creators intended. Manually type it out every time you want to look it up.

The other issue with AI making the internet worse, even apart from the misinformation is that people are removing stuff because they don't want to be used for training data. Even when they are happy to share the information for free they are forced to take protective measures because of goddamn AI

I keep seeing people do this... if you are getting into drawing: if you have decent handwriting, you don't need to do dexterity "exercises". You have the physical skills, getting "good" at drawing is more about training your visual judgement than physical

Tweet by merman_melville: Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

Stargazing 5 xkcd.com/3301/
4-panel comic. (1) [Black background with person with shoulder-length hair with raised arms in front in white, with figures in gray in the background.] PERSON 1: Welcome to stargazing! I’m back, despite efforts by astronomers who hate cool space facts to cover me up so I can’t see the sky anymore! Nice try, losers! Next time buy a tarp that’s harder to chew through! (2) [Person looks toward binoculars in hand.] PERSON 1: Now, let’s spy on some stars! Does everyone have binoculars? If you don’t, find someone looking at birds and try to grab theirs. Stars are the birds of the sky. (3) [Close-up on Person but with white background.] PERSON 1: But stars aren’t the only weird lights. Sometimes the sky fills with rippling colors. That’s the sky’s screensaver. It’s very pretty, so don’t move your mouse and ruin it. (4) [Switch back to black background, person points up while figures in background look toward where she’s pointing.] PERSON 1: That blob is a comet. People used to think they were harbingers of doom. We now know they’re boring, so we have to find new reasons to use the word “harbinger.” I’m a harbinger of astronomy! Cool facts are nigh!

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

New jumping spider backpack! He is extra special in that his legs and abdomen both are posable so you can have him do his display dance. This variety has an XL internal pocket and can hold more than my normal shaped jumpers. He will be available at Riley Fest first weekend of October ❤️

Did a bit more of the p5x main story stuff and it's getting interesting. Their teacher, an ex-delinquent, is getting parasitically harassed by some chunni techbro troll consultant who creates problems in the systems he's hired in so he can "fix" it. So both of them share one palace

bleak but essential read
Navarro told us that she was "shocked to see the growing number of websites in the network and the huge variety of the sites themselves - from cooking and space blogs, to small business and war news." What surprised her the most, though, was how so many of the sites under BBM's umbrella are effectively
"indistinguishable from one another, publishing the same kind of first-person Al-generated stories around self-help topics aimed at people who are lonely."

Last post: also stop falling for Chinese state propaganda, China is nowhere near beating anybody at AI. China IS beating the US at self driving cars, which only works coz China's traffic cameras are there like every 10 meters or something and all the lights are connected to the same system as GPS

My original roughs for this horror show:
Three rough storyboard panels. Graphite on post-it.

PANEL 1: Spongebob points at wide-eyed Squidward.
SPONGE: Cause you and me?

PANEL 2: Sponge stretches his arm out to grab worried Squidward, and…
SPONGE: We're like…

PANEL 3: Creepily wide-eyed Sponge pulls Squid very close.
SPONGE: …brothers.Three rough storyboard panels in graphite on post-it:

PANEL 1:
Spongebob grabs Squidward's shirt-bottom.
SPONGE: Only…

PANEL 2:
Sponge lifts Squid's shirt to reveal a throbbing, veiny flap of skin connecting the two of them, stomach to face.
SPONGE: closer.

PANEL 3:
Squidward SCREAMS as SpongeBob lowers the shirt, unconcerned.
SQUID: YAAAAH!

Just heard an ad on the radio like "I'm proud to be an employee at [car company] because I can be a part of something I can stand behind. And with employee pricing, you pay what I pay" so...... You're saying your employees don't even get discounts? This makes you look worse, actually

Sigh we need a rival progressive media channel for diaspora Chinese so we can squash out Falun Gong cult like a bug. But the problem is we'd have to do things ethically, like fact checking and paying employees and having journalistic standards, which makes it financially unviable to compete
