Working retail, I remember an occasion where a couple knew we weren't allowed to make them leave and kept browsing out of spite. We closed 20 minutes late that day. Felt like two hours. Hell has a special place for the corporate apparatchiks whose rules enable this sort of behaviour.

Zohran Mamdani installs one bidet in his office bathroom and everyone loses their minds. But two bidets in a luxury outfitted 737 that can carry only 17 passengers is apparently completely fine and normal. The USA is so very, very cooked. A commercial 737 can carry over 180 passengers by the way.

Signing up to @tokyosexwhale.bsky.social's snail meow print club was the best idea I've had all year.
An art print of a black cat on a yellow background. The image is drawn from a low angle, and the cat has its tongue extended in a manner known as a blep. There is a four-character, Chinese calligraphy box in the upper left hand corner. The print is resting on a keyboard and other desktop debris.

New awareness campaign
A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: 
Using Generative AI?
You’re prompting with Hitler!
GenAI is a Fascist Project!
Try using your brain instead
Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

Last night I finished Act 1 of Claire Obscure: Expedition 33. The emotional gut-punch of what happened had me stop playing to go do something else, because it felt churlish to just continue. Sandfall deserve the praise and success they're getting for this game. It is a game development masterpiece.

Our capitalist society sees profit as the point of human society, and profit is most harmed by cost, and cost is most caused by labor of humans, so inevitably this will be a society that increasingly sees humans as a problem to eliminate, which is why that is how it is training its machines now.
