This is the funniest thing I've seen today, possibly ever

A tweet by SarahStarberry that says "oh god read the vertical axis" on top of a chart measuring AI models' release dates and model numbers rather than any real capabilities

the only non-negotiable for writing is you have to read. doesn't matter if you're writing comics, prose, screenplays. read. read books, articles, scripts, comics. fiction and non-fiction. read lots of 'em and never stop reading.

About 20 hours into Aion 2 between the beta test and early access. Verdict: All style, no personality whatsoever.

Me, seeing real RP profile links in peoples' bios: "I should make one of those sometime." Me, any time I actually have time to do the thing: "... Maybe I'll just not."

the brand safety panopticon has come to twitch

Streamers, wary of both AI and YouTube’s infuriatingly un-transparent hall of mirrors, are not enthused about this new development.

“Ohhh so that’s why ad revenue dropped,” longtime streamer JP "itmeJP" McDaniel said on Twitter.

“I’m genuinely worried that the sheer fact that I’m a lesbian will cause the AI to remove ads,” said Vtuber LuminusRed. “In the past I’ve tested it and confirmed that I get less ad money if I had queer-related tags on my stream like ‘lesbian,’ so I am worried this dumb AI monitoring will mean I no longer get money from ads on Twitch.”

This poll from Cook is bonkers. A *huge* plurality of voters (43% overall, 61% of Ds) want Dems to focus on changing the political system overall vs. just opposing (21%, 36% of Ds) or working with Trump (35%, 3% of Ds).

Good to have a reminder every once in a while. It's easy to do, and the problem is likely to get worse. So make it a habit.

I've done this TO MY OWN FRIENDS The first time I called my first serious LDR on the phone in like 1998, I introduced myself with my real name, and she was CONFUSED until I sheepishly backed it up with my screen name. We'd been talking for a year.

one of the worst and most terrifying pieces of information that ive learned is that in order to make friends you kind of have to be annoying to people. and if they like it thenn you can be friends. friendship is just when you both like when the other one is annoying

I think still such a funny single comic panel of Spider-Man.

Peter Parker:

"... You know, I actually *did* read some Ayn Rand in college? I spent a week thinking I was, like, the new John Galt.

"Yelled at some protesters. Fun times.

"Gd, I hate myself."

Oh goodness, I do this often enough that it's sort of a problem. But on the other hand... No one in 2026 would actually want to meet or interact with Riven Darkangel, the very special boy (a daywalker Gangrel with wings and a very thinly veiled Sephiroth expy). So the rewrites are pretty good.

Turns out Discord is, in fact, back on their age verification bullshit. Again. Blog post: discord.com/blog/safer-f... Images from: x.com/discord/stat...

From the blog post's TLDR section: "More than 90% of you won’t be asked to confirm your age. Since our last post about teen safety, we've had to launch age assurance solutions in more places, including Texas and Brazil. Laws requiring age assurance are expanding around the world. Rather than waiting to be told how to do it, we’re launching our own privacy-preserving approach: one that reflects your feedback.
You can check your age group status at User Settings > Account Status. We've estimated your age group automatically from account signals like how long your account has existed or the kinds of servers you're a part of. We don’t look at your messages, calls, or other content. We're launching this over the course of this week, so it may take a few days to reach your account.
If you're in the adult age group (18+), nothing changes. If you're in the teen age group (13-17), you can keep messaging friends, joining voice calls, and participating in non-age-restricted servers, but with additional safety protections that block age-restricted content, spaces, and settings. Otherwise, Discord works the same. More on this below.
We've added several new ways to confirm your age, including some that don't require an ID or selfie (including credit cards). If you're an adult but weren't automatically placed in the adult age group, you can confirm your age group at any time by going to User Settings > Account Status. More on the new options below."

From the blog post's "What I said we'd do before expanding" portion:

"More age assurance options. In February, the only methods we’d planned for to confirm your age were facial age estimation or an ID scan. Based on your feedback, we committed to giving you more options that meet our high privacy standards. So we added alternatives, including some that don't require a video selfie or an ID. We've vetted every method, and the data you provide to us and our vendors is only ever used to determine your age group, so you can pick whichever option you're most comfortable with. Depending on factors such as your region or device, you may see some or all of the following options:
Credit Cards. You input your card information, and k-ID routes the details to Stripe to confirm the card is owned and authorized by an adult. Neither k-ID nor Discord ever sees the card details. Stripe saves the last 4 digits of card numbers after the check because of their legal obligation as a payment processor. A small temporary charge may be placed to confirm the card is valid, which is then refunded within 14 business days.
Apple App Store. Allow Apple to share your age range with us to help determine whether you're an adult or teen. Your exact birthdate won't be shared, only your age group.
Google Play Store. Allow Google Play to share your age range with us to help determine whether you're an adult or teen. Your exact birthdate won't be shared, only your age group.
Google Wallet. Confirms your age using the ID pass already set up in Google Wallet, based on your passport. Your ID details stay with Google. (Currently Google Wallet only support passports from Brazil, Singapore, Taiwan, the UK, and the United States.)
AgeKey. A reusable age credential you set up once and can use across various services, so you don't have to reconfirm on multiple platforms."

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

OG Rileck, -way- back in the day was Gangrel, oddly. A lot of that fell apart as I figured out who he was. Grevault was never turned, he started as a plot-focused PC to tie into someone else's. The plan was to make him Ventrue (she was Toreador), but the plot didn't make it there.
