People who spiral out overusing LLM chatbots are really just experiencing the kind of brain-damaging stream of unconditional validation that’s always been the norm for the hyper-wealthy, which explains a lot.

A reminder for those at the back.

A redraw of the i nice panel from Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, where Batman snaps a rifle in two over his knee.

He says "THIS is the weaponnof the enemy. We do not NEED it. We will not USE it."

I've replace the rifle with a plank of wood labelled "AI Slop"

Vibecoded apps are based on theft of work the same way slop art is. Don't celebrate some shitty vibecoder who claims to be robin-hood-ing Adobe while you hate on Adobe for using stolen work in its AI. It's not "turnabout is fair play" it's "this is the weapon of the enemy."

AITA for correcting my girlfriend's family every time they mispronounce my turtle's name?
I have a turtle named Geoff. Yes I know Geoff is normally pronounced Jeff. His isnt. My girlfriend's family knows this and still calls him Jeff basically every time his name comes up.
His name starts with /dz/ instead of the normal American English J sound /d3/. So regular Geoff/Jeff is roughly /dzef/ and his is /dzef/. They are similar but they are NOT the same consonant. /d3/ is a voiced postalveolar affricate and /dz/ is a voiced retroflex affricate. Basically you make the beginning of "Jeff" with the tongue farther back/retracted, which gives it a harder, deeper "dzh" sound.
I'm really into etymology and historical linguistics so the spelling was intentional too. Geoff is already a weird spelling from a modern English perspective because gives you basically no reason to predict /dzef/ unless you already know the name. Obviously I am NOT claiming medieval Geoffrey was pronounced / dzef/. I

My theory is that Long Furby is a manifestation of the Gnostic god of material reality the Demiurge (Yaldabaoth) appearing in the collective unconscious as proposed by Carl Jung. In this essay I will-

Long furby and yaldaboarh the bad lion headed serpent god of material reality. They are brothers.

remind him of Swords, and inspire him to demand a game of Swords for himself and Paul. Meanwhile the guys I was doing the Starward creation stuff with, I knew would like it cause I'd done the creation from the Vast & Starlit cards with one of them.

Sorchist @sorchist.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Pat was reminded of Swords in the first place because I had picked up the species/culture/location creation stuff from Starward and run through it just for shits and giggles with a couple other friends. It mentioned "tones" so I had to explain the tones and that's what made Pat's ears perk up,

There was another guy there, Paul, that Pat thought would really dig it, so me, Pat, and Paul snuck off to the garage to play a game. (Pat pointed out that "playing RPGs in the garage" was a powerful nostalgia punch in and of itself).

Sorchist @sorchist.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

The collaring was done by Pat, who had played Swords once the year it was published and vowed to ever play again because he loved that game so much and didn't think it could be topped. (It's long enough ago he had mostly forgotten that game and so let go of his vow).

D&D peaked with the wiener-biting face-stabbing scorpadillo. And check out that snake. That's fucking peak snaking, I dare say. Heroes wore mawashi, kitty-ear head bands, and NOTHING ELSE. No scabbards no belts no backpacks. Grognards long for the golden age. An ago of wiener-biting & kitty ears

@epidiah.bsky.social Guess who was collared to run/play a game of Swords at an old friends' game getaway weekend that did not otherwise feature TTRPGs? This guy. We actually did Rogue Scroll cause it was easier than me trying to remember and explain the rules of full Swords.

No matter how much you throw trans people under the bus, you are still going to get attacked. All you've done is betray a vulnerable minority, anger your base, and made the issue front and center.
