I told you I didn't forget! I've been absolutely swamped with Hope Dies Last, but I thought it was finally time to put all of my Six Encounter Day thoughts down in a blog post; something that I can always refer folks back to so the knowledge isn't trapped in videos/threads. bsky.app/profile/kras...

Most recent ones I can remember are some spoiler heavy moments from the Plague Tale franchise. Including at least one where I had to full on put my controller down and sob for a bit before I could play again.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

Abolish ICE. Fire them all. Prosecute their crimes. Start with prosecuting the crimes first and work your way backward if that makes you more comfortable. But we cannot live in a country with this level of elite impunity.

These are the layups. All these actions are crimes. All the perjuries are crimes. Find one vicious bastard prosecutor and have them chew through these ICE/DHS cases starting Day One. Just enforce the law! The lowest bar possible!

I hope groups in states where election day suppression tactics are likely to be prevalent (anywhere red where the balance of power is likely to shift eg. TX) have plans to document and counter them. Suppression is the regime's 1st line of defense. Denying/hindering the results will be next.

The "hallucinations" are intrinsic to and inextricable from theory-free inference, which means that the outputs of an "AI" can only be trusted if they can be evaluated by an expert.

The centaur metaphor has the worker taking the role of the top half of the mythical man/horse, the half in which the judgment and decision-making takes place; while the bottom (horsey) half is given to the machine, providing strength, speed and stamina, but only at the direction of the human mind.

This is why AI bosses are so violently allergic to the idea of hybridizing AI with symbolic systems that operate on models of the world. These models of the world must be constructed by experts, and the power of expertise cannot be reliably commanded by the power of wealth.

The technical excitement over AI's capabilities - from chess to gold-mining to treating pancreatic cancer - cannot be separated from the *political* excitement that billionaires (short on expertise, flush with cash) experience.

The promise of theory-free inference isn't just about reducing the *wage-bill* associated with programmers: even more, it's about reducing their *power*. It's about removing their power to hold bosses to account for sexual assault and the power to withhold their labor from lethal military projects.

When that expertise is locally scarce (there's only one person in town who know how to clean your toilet) or universally scarce (there's only one expert who can tell you which of your landholdings are likely to hold seams of gold) those experts have something that billionaires can't abide: *power*.

The reason some Jews are so skeptical of criticism of Israel, (and this is explanation and not defense), is that you start with "the Israeli government is racist" and end with what the Green Party actually adopted, which is, "Individual UK Jews can be punished for attending shuls we deem Zionist."

As anyone in publishing will tell you, women do not resist reading books by men, but men will often dismiss books by women. This is not a publishing problem or a failure to target men. It's a misogyny problem.

It's not reasonable to ask immigrants to assimilate, actually. Bilingual schools do, and should, exist. Things are and can be written in multiple languages. For now, for better or worse, English is the fast-track to many better jobs, yeah, true. But for the price of "abandon your culture"? Why.

Very cool to have an extant garment! I'm liable to keep it floor length for this cosplay, however, because the character who wears it describes some of her favorite things about the dress in the text of the books, one of which is "the way it swirls around [her] ankles". The other being the neckline.

RoseOfStone @roseofstone.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Yeah, one of the several reasons I never started on the project with my first pattern is because of all the work I knew I'd need to do to modify it into something more like what exists in my head. 😂

RoseOfStone @roseofstone.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I hear you. This pattern was printed in 1999, so it may still not be quite right from the original, but I don't think it would've been adjusted for a 2020s body block in the same way as more recent pattern reproductions have been.

RoseOfStone @roseofstone.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Thanks for the YouTube rec. I bought my pattern copy from www.etsy.com/shop/ThePatt... & it is an uncut, factory-produced pattern, so I'm hoping it'll work as intended, unless Butterick themselves totally fucked up the repro.

They’re all just recycling the Jewish Question against Brown people. Concentration camps. Deportations/Expulsions. Copypaste rhetoric. “They’re here, exactly as we are, but they could never truly be one of us.” They don’t even have the decency to come up with a new name, it’s that plagiarized.

I appreciate the warning! My plan has always been to make a muslin mock up for fit and working out any potential snafus before scissors go anywhere near the real silk.

Bonus teaser, a ways off: once I've made it in green, I do indeed plan to make it again in gray/silver, wreck the skirt, and also cosplay Twilight Fury Rose Marshall. XD

The first pattern I'd bought (a 1952 gown) & the swatch of the silk I'll be making the dress out of.

RoseOfStone @roseofstone.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

And if you ask "didn't Rose Marshall die in her green silk prom gown in 1952?" I will tell you, yes, you remember correctly, but she also *bought* her dress from a second-hand shop, not new, and considering this pattern is from 1948 (or intended to be) I think it is reasonable to be what Rose found.

RoseOfStone @roseofstone.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

It's heeere! I had bought a different pattern previously for my Girl in the Green Silk Gown cosplay, but never started on it for a number of reasons. When I saw this on Etsy I knew I HAD to get it becuz it's PERFECT! It's exactly what I pictured when reading @seananmcguire.bsky.social's Ghost Roads.

Also, and I cannot stress this enough, you can do both. The sheer ability of people to hear "Voting matters" & interpret that as "I just personally ordered you to never volunteer or donate to a cause ever again. And the only way to break the spell is complain" It's a monument to human ingenuity.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward
