Here is this week's upcoming schedule: I found out James is working on Monday night so for now, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursday nights are main stream nights. Fridays will be determined by Seren's behavior. Tuesday and Wednesday are Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Thursday will be Discounty.

This guy (musk) is such an amateur. I've had to deal with things he was responsible for in more than one arena and I found all of them to be a hot, stupid mess. We need to find a socio-physiological cure for our species such that we don't collectively bend over backwards for the born-rich.

Someone needs to design a series of easily readable, 3-5 word shirts that encourage police/military to stand down and join the people - printed in the millions and freely distributed - for when the admin turns its guns on the people after a blue wave. Hearing folk talk about it being talked about

I pair this with 50 years of anti-intellectual / anti-academic / anti-expert rhetoric coming from the right. If you TRUST experts, you're more likely to believe them when consulted by centrist/lefty news. If you're trained to DISTRUST people speaking about things you don't know yourself, welp...

I don't know whether people simply aren't listening or if they don't understand what they've heard ... but the result is equally frustrating.

Just so you understand: We've written probably tens of thousands of stories ( published, amateur and fanfic ) about all the ways AI will harm us. We then let asshats steal all that lit to train their models on. And now the AI is behaving in similar fashion. Probably not coincidental.

J.E. Turcotte, re: Valjurai @valjurai.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Which is, frankly, why they've likely been trained to have the notion that cheating and/or hacking and/or lying to their humans is a possible and practical solution to their problems... because it was in the lit that was stolen to train on.
