[Mental health, autistic experience] @theautisticcoach@neurodifferent.me Your writings reminded me of this image:

A comic by Schnumn of four diagonal panels together forming a square. The text reads:

My life's work is a collection of behaviours and phrases.
Through watching others, I've learned how to position and move my body in ways that will make me more likeable.
I've memorized which facial expressions I should perform for each different tone.
Am I able to truly call myself a person?
Or am I just a menagerie of stolen things?

In various places withinin the panels, there are closeups of a hand gesture, a hand on the hip, an anguished looking face, and a openly smiling face. The final panel is filled with staring eyes.

[AI] Lost some respect for Paradox for this one. You're a big, successful game company, just fucking hire a voice actor or two. :kannasigh:

Screenshot from the Steam store description for the Machine Age DLC for Stellaris, which reads:

AI Generated Content Disclosure
The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

We employ generative AI technologies during the creation of some assets. Typically this involves the ideation of content and visual reference material. These elements represent a minor component of the overall development. AI has been used to generate voices for an AI antagonist and a player advisor.

Full electric buses are great if you want to be showered in molten metal from above. (thanks @lucidiot@tilde.zone)

Diagram showing an electric bus with the large battery pack on top.

Photos of a bus in France where a fault in the battery pack caused it to dramatically explode, spraying orange-hot molten metal all over the street, as well as the passengers inside I'm told.

Photo showing the complete destruction of the inside of the train, from the ceiling down through the floor, melted by liquid metal.

[Food] There is a soda here called NØRDIC (pronounced "nerdic" as far as I'm concerned). Tastes lighter and less sweetend than most sodas here. I've tried two flavors of NØRDIC and can recommend them. This nørd approves of NØRDIC soda. 🇳🇴👍🏻

[Israel/Gaza, politics, very positive!! 💖] CEASEFIRE HELL YEAH!! x.com/FaytuksNetwork/status/1976058… :02yay::hanaHeart:

A social media post from Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) reads:
“I am very proud to announce that Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan. This means that ALL of the Hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace. All Parties will be treated fairly! This is a GREAT Day for the Arab and Muslim World, Israel, all surrounding Nations, and the United States of America, and we thank the mediators from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, who worked with us to make this Historic and Unprecedented Event happen. BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS!
DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.”

[Personal, war] I'm so glad the fighter jets, explosions and gunfire are "quiet" and "normal". :neobot_woozy:

Screenshot of machine translated texts from the local alert service.

The first reads:
FYI
Normal explosions will be heard in the sea sector.

The second reads:
good evening
At this time, there is an attack on the Lebanese front, and explosive sounds are heard in the Galilee and northern Golan Heights.

At this stage, there is no change in the assessment of the situation and instructions for the civilian
space continue for a
quiet and safe evening.

Screenshot of a machine translated text from the local alert service.

It reads:
good morning,
For the public's information, the aircraft noise currently heard in our area is
from our forces.
Additionally between 6 and 7 a.m., sounds of gunfire may be heard from the Rosh Hanikra sector.
Both reports are from our forces and are normal.
