iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I mean… maaaaybe. But Asia is a massive continent & Europe is not one, so seems weird to put it in the name? Let’s just all be Asians?

No time for proper Inktober this year. So instead follow Jeremy’s! I’ll do s sporadically “Dinovember” or something if I can. As I want more knobbly Dino heads!

Judge decides Elon can keep making child porn. Disgusting.

Both had best fighter planes of WW2 at various stages? Spitfire & Zero! 😅 You Asians, both Eastern & Western are so cool!

Yeah, have noticed Britain is an odd breeding ground for such things that way.

I could think of fewer horrors than somehow being kind of conscious when my brain is removed & abused for drug company profits. Make it a head shot. Make yourself unusable! Just in case they bring you back!

Uuuuuh if you’re going to end yourself, in the future, & donate your body to science ( or maybe they’ll take it anyway ) make sure whatever you do, your brain becomes mush mush. I wouldn’t risk a living death like this. www.science.org/content/arti...

Not alive, but not dead: disembodied human brains used for drug testing

By restoring some functions to intact brains from deceased donors, the startup Bexorg hopes to create a better drug development test bed for neurodegenerative diseases

You seem as bad an influence as the people you say you loathe, at this point it seems. You’re definitely trying to do their work for them, over anything resembling the best outcome people can get.

I’m not going to flip that dog over, when it has a battling gun pointed at me!

The one time a Pope does something good for humanity instead of covering up sexually abusing children. The world has flipped. I’m with this guy.

So, technically he still votes like a centrist democrat much of the time. But what comes out of his mouth & his actual job ethics are terrible & leave us all with the impression he’s far worse than he actually is. ( compared to a standard brain dead republican I mean )

020

I’m more worried about the killer robots once they connect their future chatbots to them. I want to negate them from a distance. We could render their power over us obsolete? Imagine turning their shitty hardware to garbage with a quick pulse. 😂

I hope you mean in the primaries? Cos you didn’t have much option in the general really, no? That Dr Oz charcuterie bowed fellah still seemed far worse?

220

He’ll flip to being a Republican for “real” probably. We need to make him irrelevant!

000

How hard is it to make some sort of EMP device & how close to the data centers/killer robots would you need to be? Plan for the ai apocalypse now.

John Fetterman Mistakenly Calls Himself a “Lifelong Republican”

Pathetic meat sack waste of congressional space, wasting time repping the state I live in. Perhaps I’ll be able to vote him out if he actually runs next time. PA can’t wait to fire this slobby slug. newrepublic.com/post/215913/...

The Pennsylvania senator made an embarrassing Freudian slip while trying to defend his politics.

That’s another hill I’ll die on. tomatoes are fruits! Put it in a salad & what you got? FRUIT SALAD!

I would have used British people as the example, but they live on an island off the coast of Asia. So they’re like the Western Asian version of the Japanese.

Big Mongol history fan. Know they have you rather a hard time once. Among… others. 😓

Cos you’re on the landmass & there definitely aren’t any mountains separating you from whatever dreaded thing is coming at you from the East ( yeah I know, you guys have always had it rough )

I’ve already made them lock away ALL the creamer, Tana! 😂

Going to start to refer to us white people as simply “Western Asian”. What sort of deluded insecurities mean a Han Chinese person & an Indian are both “Asian” but a Polish person isn’t, when they all share the same landmass? Europe is just a vibe continent! It doesn’t really exist!

Yup yup. Explains a looooot of people, & why this putrid tech needs to be regulated like class A drugs. Ai is so harmful to *everything & everyone*, all so a few bloated parasites can get rich off delusional morons. /end daily anti ai rant.

The best flight delays are where they tell you 12 hours in advance & you get 2 hours extra sleep & still keep your upgrade with a new connection. Flights to Boston seem cursed to me. I had to cancel last Wickedcon thanks to the airline. Let’s see if I actually make it today. Come say hi tomorrow!

I dunno, if it could just be framed as a massive tax cut for everyone but the wealthy, & as “freedom” from being tied to an employer & job you hate… it’d be nice. The US has so much less “freedom” than most civilized countries that way. Gods know why I put up with it here!

Ben Templesmith @templesmith.bsky.social · 17h

That thing everyone else in the regular world already knows, as their lived experiences generally, but many Americans refuse to believe, instead it’s “dark socialist devil magic”. Maybe someone will explain it enough so morons understand how much they’re being fleeced for misery? I can dream.

Yep. We pick & choose our battles. I’m not one to call for fantasy boycotts when so many can’t afford to. We all can just do our bit. I wish I could ditch Amazon but it’s too ingrained in my life dammit.

Ben Templesmith @templesmith.bsky.social · 22h

How do I do that? Can I just call Elon a cunt or something? My account is still there. It makes me so sad to delete it…

Ben Templesmith @templesmith.bsky.social · 23h

It usually takes a lot to get me to boycott things, cos I am inherently lazy. But Nazis & pedo enthusiasts will get me every time. Everyone has their lines, I guess. I still enjoy my Starbucks light roast lattes from time to time. If other local cafes offered light roast, I'd happily ditch them.

Ben Templesmith @templesmith.bsky.social · 23h

I have friends who still post on X. Run by a guy who's a literal Nazi when it comes to race stuff, who also argues his slop machine, that stole from us all, should be allowed to make child porn (!?!) So yeah, I wish they wouldn't. Zuckerturd is almost as bad, so I use meta crap sparingly now too.

PSA: The Trump administration changed the form used to register and request absentee ballots, removing the checkbox for US citizens who have never lived in the US(even though some are eligible to vote under state law). The change could block eligible voters and was made without proper public notice.
