You say it's not a big deal but have you considered that it's very cool and wholesome to see a content creator I like being open about their queer identity?

And it doesn't help that 90% of what AI has ingested was already vague corporate marketing copy, which was already living in horror of using specific--and therefore legally actionable--language.

The most reliable tell, in my experience, is that AI never wants to be specific about anything. AI writing will say "he felt so strongly about things that he was willing to do anything" and then just never say what he felt or what he did.

It's ok to try lots of different things and figure out what works for you, personally. Just because something often works for most people, you aren't always most people. It's also ok if something you've tried before doesn't work the next time. It's a living process of exploration.

It's been so interesting to watch this unfold. Barnes & Noble and other big book chains shut indies down in the the 1990s (and on) and then Amazon came along and ate up all the book market share. Now people tired of big corporations are creating demand for more indies

Everytime I see shit like this is a fundamental failure to understand the role and purpose of what an "NPC" plays in game design. The role of an npc is to deliver tone, information, character. Things AI are incapable of doing because it requires intent.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

I only just found out that the word "strewn" (as in "his clothes were strewn across the floor") is just the past tense of the verbal form of "straw" - the bits of wheat that get blown away when you harvest wheat.

"Gunnerkrigg Court" is actually kind of structurally fascinating in terms of how literally every escalation – no matter how bizarre the circumstances or how urgent the stakes – manages to immediately settle into a new status quo that's conducive to several chapters of slice of life bullshit.

Scientist friends: When you're writing a paper, have you ever chosen not to cite someone's work because that person is a jerk? Obviously you can't avoid citing vital work, but there are lots of times when you could choose any of several papers to cite. What factors into your decision then? 🧪

I also disagree with the idea that you can’t avoid citing vital work: if a foundational scholar in your field has harmed others in your field, don’t cite them! Cite papers that meaningfully build on whatever foundational work you’re avoiding citing! I think we can do this more often than we think.

I once told a “Viking bro” that since Odin & Loki transformed into females (Loki notably became a Mare and gave birth to Odins 8-legged horse), that many Norse Gods were gender fluid and pansexual. The particular shade of magenta that the Viking bro’s face became was glorious to behold.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Steve Breen's editorial cartoon for the San Diego Union-Tribune shows Johnson working at a blackboard. The equations she writes out in chalk become a stairway that an astronaut in a spacesuit follows to the Moon.

On Aug. 26, 1957, Rick Hansen was born in Port Alberni, British Columbia. He became a Canadian hero when from 1985 to 1987, he wheeled through 34 countries and raised $26 million to help people with disabilities. This is the story of the Man in Motion Tour. 🧵 1/18

The photo shows Rick Hansen, a Canadian athlete and activist, propelling a wheelchair across a rugged, rocky terrain. He is wearing a black sleeveless top, white gloves, and athletic shoes, with a determined expression on his face. The background features a vast, open landscape under a clear sky.
