Yesterday's news about Jacob Geller broke my heart, so much that I couldn't stop dwelling on it all day. In an effort to make sense of this horrific news and my admittedly complicated feelings about it, here is my article on the Jacob Geller situation: epiloguegaming.com/what-do-we-d...

Earlier this week, a friend noticed Jacob Geller’s book, How A Game Lives, sitting amongst my living room shelves. Under almost any other circumstances, this would have been an exciting invitation for...

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

September is Bi Visibility Month, so perceiving me may be easier, as all bisexuals have disadvantage on stealth rolls until Halloween 1st.
BI REMINDER
💜Bisexual women are still bi even if they're dating men
🩷Bisexual men exist, and they're not "just gay"
💙Ace/Aro bisexuals, & Nonbinary
bisexuals exist
💜Sexual orientation is about attraction, not action
🩷Bisexuals dont need to have dated all the genders/gender identities they re attracted to - to know they're attracted to them

Yesterday, I decided (against my better judgement) to look at some AI videos - some animated, some still images - to see if they offered any inspiration, as the AI bros promise they do. It has been about 24 hours. I barely remember any of the stuff I looked at. 1/4

Dolly Parton, and the life she led, was a beacon of compassion and beauty to the cruelty, the cynicism, the apathy, and the coarseness of the last 40 years or so. If I have any hope for the future it is that her legacy continues to shine brightly when all else is dark.

Burnham's big migration plan: take 4,000 stranded migrants from Ceuta, bring them to the UK and put them up in luxury hotels. Americans look at Europe in despair. 

Express Headline: Burnham's migrant, Campbell, 1,000 stranded in Ceuta to be brought to UK. The Prime Minister proposes flying thousands of stranded migrants from Spanish enclave to Britain and housing them in London hotels.

Targeting trans people made these women a lot of male friends on the right and far right. Rather than taking that as the wake-up call it was, they dug in, and began to look for other ways to impress their new friends. Andrea Dworkin’s classic Right-Wing Women explored the dynamics eloquently in 1978

Plenty to reflect about re: the Arday affair, but I'm going to repeat this one thing. The playbook the right used here is effective even though it's not especially sophisticated, as it relies on the audience to do the dirty work. I've been calling it "Trojan horse propaganda", let's go with that. 1/

I think as a society we’re becoming crueller, more hateful, less forgiving In large part because it makes some of the worst people alive a lot of money - hate sells, love doesn’t But also because life is getting harder, and many people want to take their anger out on people they can reach and ruin

Oh boy, I can't wait for the 'debate' over whether people with ADHD/ASD are actually 'faking it for attention' or for 'special treatment'. (The answer is 'no', in case you couldn't guess, but why let pesky facts get in the way of a good moral crisis?)

Folks I won’t tell you not to feel your feelings, but this is rage bait. He’s talking about expanding beyond politics into things like live sports.
Yeah, we want to expand it. "Breaking" is maybe the wrong word, but yes, we want to expand more and more so that Bluesky means not just one thing, not just liberal politics, for example. I will point to sports as an example from the last year. We've made a very concerted effort to bring on sports leagues and sports writers, and it's worked really well. There are a ton of sports conversations now on the app, and those people come here for the sports, not for the liberal politics. It's possible to expand.
