Borgus needed this

4-panel comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: Two green aliens on a spaceship. One comforts the other. "Come on. Cheer up, Borgus." Panel 2: Suggestions to lift his mood. "We could destroy a moon? ...or surf a black hole?" Panel 3: "Or we could party with our Earth friends." Both aliens perk up. Panel 4: A UFO beams up a mooing cow into a tractor beam. Through the window, the aliens are partying inside.

I’ve updated Safe Badge to 0.2.0! Update the extension in Chrome/Edge to get it. Also Firefox is in review :3 Bear in mind you may need to re-enable it as it now requires permission on the dashboard subdomain in order to show the badge on raid targets. Reminder: safebadge.ori.mx Changelog below:

Really love seeing larger creators holding the line against games made through generative AI. Wanderbot has always been very clear about this, and uses his platform to share games made by people with a creative vision rather than reprocessed AI spew. Wanderbot's BlueSky: bsky.app/profile/wand...

A post on YouTube from the "Wanderbots" channel reads:

Hey everyone, I've taken down today's first video (NOT BLOOD DUNGEON) on suspicion of being heavily vibecoded- there's a chance it's legit, but after looking more at the talent tree I have serious doubts (lots of repeats with unique names + slightly changed #'s, for no reason.)

Edit: the developer did confirm that they were using AI as part of the development process, so the video will be staying down.

I have a pretty good eye for AI generated art assets, but things like UI & code are huge blindspots for me and I'm fully reliant on disclosures + developers being honest in those cases. I'll keep trying my best to avoid them all the same, but please don't be afraid to let me know if I accidentally let one through.

As for the AI boosters who will inevitably come crawling to defend slop; save us both the time and energy. It's awful tech made by awful people who stole from millions of people and I have zero interest in hearing arguments in favor of it.

Oh sure, the first moon walk will always be the most exciting, but you can't walk the moon just once. Moons need lots of exercise. You gotta take them from one end of the sky to the other. And let them out when they have to go. I don't want to find another puddle of regolith on the carpet, okay?

These conditions are caused by colonial suppression of Indigenous practices like controlled burns, the fossil fuel industry heating global temps & causing climate chaos, & the gov't trying to control people instead of care for them. May we care for each other, neighbors and workers, in these times.

so in case you're wondering why this is showing up out of nowhere this is twitch using the same tech as the AI stream summary to monitor your stream for you saying this since most people turned off the AI stream summary you can turn this off too by going to Settings -> Stream in your dashboard

a Twitch pop-up window that says "Just say "Twitch, clip that", By using Auto Clips, clips are automatically made by using your stream audio to clip great moments. You can also just say "Twitch, clip that" during stream."

An illustration of two cartoon birds walking together on a path through a lush green forest with a whimsical, handwritten text overlay. The birds, one in a pink hooded jacket and the other in a yellow jacket, have large, expressive eyes. The text reads, "my mom says we can start a revolution if it's okay with your mom".

Sonya Tolstoy, on what it was like to be... Married to Tolstoy. I am... Not surprised. 😆

“He pushes everything off onto me,” she wrote, “everything, without exception: the children, the management of his property, relations with other people, business affairs, the house, the publishers. Then he despises me for soiling my hands with them all, retreats into his selfishness and complains about me incessantly…goes for walks, rides his horse, writes a little, goes wherever he pleases, does absolutely nothing for the family….His biographers will tell how he went to draw water for the porter, but no one will know how he never gave his wife one moment’s rest or one drop of water to his sick child; how in thirty-five years he never sat for five minutes by a bedside or let me have a rest or sleep the night through or go for a walk or simply pause for a moment to recover my strength.”

“What about Pride?” “You just had Pride.” “Well, what about Second Pride?” (Me as a disabled Hobbit, probably.) IT’S DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH, FOLKS! We have a flag too! Designed by Ann Magill, and updated to this version to prevent strobing issues while scrolling on devices! #DisabilityPride

The disability Pride flag with red, gold, white, blue, and greenl stripes on the dark grey background.

Explanation of the diagonal stripes on the dark grey background.

Red - physical disabilities
Gold - neurodiversity
White - invisible disabilities and undiagnosed disabilities
Blue - emotional and psychiatric disabilities.
Green - for sensory disabilities
