Watching Seven Havens and while I’m enjoying it, “Bending Brigade” sounds a lot like a slur…

So my thing about Fire Emblem games is that I actually don't want to have to play through 3-4 different versions of the campaign to get the full story. So when I heard the new one does this *again* it's a real turn-off...

Omg the Gay Couple I watched who review theme parks on YouTube turned out to not be a gay couple and actually just platonic friends wtf?! (Note: They never claimed to be gay or a couple, this was entirely projection from my own mind.)

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

Coyote vs Acme is pretty good fun! Lots of sensible chuckles, and surprisingly heartfelt at points. Main criticism is that occasionally the animation is a bit rough, but I suspect that's a budgetary issue and they did the best with what they had.

I occasionally see people argue that the environmental impact of AI, currently, doesn't matter because we will probably use AI to solve climate change. The problem is, we already have solutions to climate change, and building more energy-hungry AI data-centres works against that.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

Do we reckon’ Pauline thinks that if you have a larger economy and divide it by a smaller number of people that everyone will just automatically get more?

A screenshot of a FB post from the Courier Mail. The text reads: “Pauline Hanson has hit back at critics who claim One Nation's policy to drastically slash visas and international student numbers will tank Australia's economy.”

Beneath is an image of Pauline Hanson with a maroon background. It is captioned with the following text (a quote attributed to Hanson): “A larger economy on paper means nothing if Australians are poorer per person and cannot afford a home, find a hospital, or get ahead.”

If you put ten children in a room with a single large red button that launches all nukes, it would be a genuine threat to humanity. But it doesn't mean children are a human extinction risk. It means the person who puts them near the nuke button is a human extinction risk.

In a further case of enshittification, Facebook now no longer lets you see "all comments" - just "most relevant" and "newest". Not really sure why they do this, it completely obliterates your ability to properly engage with people...

Yeah, tbh the performative "I never liked Harry Potter anyway!" stuff I see from some people (who I know loved HP!) is pretty tedious. Harry Potter turned me into a reader. I loved those books. But now I can't think of them without getting an icky feeling, like creeping mould, running up my spine.

Some folks have asked about the disinfecting regime I use, so I figured I'd do a mini-thread. I use F10 veterinary disinfectant, because it is biodegradable, non-toxic, effective and cheap. The concentrate I bought online was ~$30 and makes 50L of solution. I use a 1:250 mix and apply for 5 min.

A bottle of F10 concentrate and the spray bottle.
