Sorry -- I had delayed updating to Golden Gate due to AI concerns. Now that I can use this to avoid that stuff, the only other thing is that MacOS has been riddled w/ memory leaks lately, especially new updates. Just wondering if GG fixes any of that stuff. Looking around elsewhere is inconclusive.

Does anyone know if this update fixes the memory leaks finally?

Guy trying to impress a girl he’s working with by showing her AI images he made for their project on a patio. Him: “They look great don’t they?” Her: “Yeah. I kinda feel bad about the art world though.” Him: “The thing is, I could totally make images like this, so it’s not a skill issue.”

Stories like this have, for ages, treated men's desire to harm women as a sort of background noise, a weather we just normalize and accept and try to work around. Feminism is among other things a process of denormalization.

i must not fear The Project

tumblr post by gailynovelry:
"The fastest way to accomplish The Project is to cease being afraid of The Project. The Project cannot maim you. The Project cannot kill you. The Project is more afraid of you than you are of it. It is okay if The Project turns out differently from how it was in your head, and it is okay if it has flaws. You are capable of engaging with The Project."

Pull your work off of Webtoon right now if you've put anything on there, allowing AI to be trained off their platform's work so "fans" can make AI "fancomics" is horrible, horrible. Pull it right now.

Money exists to compensate people for work. If no work was done, why does an AI-made movie still have a ticket price?

Doesn't need to be good. Doesn't need to be mass-appeal. It is correct because it came from you, in the same way AI imagery is wong because it comes from no one.

If you laboured for 3 days on a painting, or angrily scribbled a drawing, or obsessed about the perfect note in a song, that art is CORRECT, because it's helping you process something. It's you expressing yourself and sharing your soul to others. And that is the point of art.

J. Mackenzie Graham @yesternaut.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

If the question is: Is there an opposite to the WRONG 'art' that AI makes? The answers is: Absolutely. It's anything a human being put their soul into.

They'll say they want to hear about yr kid (& let you share all the amazing, life changing things you're experiencing) but their eyes glaze over, and when it's their turn, they're back to the same old stuff. And the *second* you reveal any impatience with that, they pick it up.

The first couple years, all you want to do is cling to doing fun stuff, and maintaining friendships because you are aware of the clichés and you want to stave that off. But your friends see you as one-note, and themselves as vital and interesting, and they stop doing things with you.

Chauvin was, in fact, the cause of Floyd’s death. He used a technique that MPD and most other agencies have banned, specifically because it causes death. And the crime for which he was convicted is unintentional second-degree murder, which by definition does not require intent to kill.

In Star Trek people often complain that replicated food is not as good as naturally produced food, which is weird when replicators are presumably using the same technology as transporters, which can perfectly replicate Spock every time. But is Spock getting less flavoursome over time? In this essay,

If you played video games between 1996-2001 this post might give you an aneurism.

I agree with what you’re saying, and I also don’t think we should be playing the algorithm’s games — I just don’t think you should frame it as a personal failing or greed. It’s not greedy to want your work to be seen.

J. Mackenzie Graham @yesternaut.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

On deviantart that piece would stay in the mix forever and could be rediscovered easily. Now, the algorithms bury things that aren’t successful within a certain amount of time. It’s not greed on our part, it’s frustration — either conscious or subconscious — at the active suppression of our work.

14 hours later and my mentions are still full of angry treatises about badly behaved cyclists. Bike lanes are not a reward for good cyclist behavior! They are infrastructure proven to make cities safer for ALL ROAD USERS. Whatever way cyclists have wronged you is irrelevant to the discussion!

Sky News is broadcasting live a Reform UK media conference led by Nigel Farage. But Farage is a candidate in a byelection. But Sky News is not giving equal exposure to the other candidates in Thursday's byelection. Surely Sky News is breaking media impartiality rules?

I understand that doesn’t actually fall in the definition of evasion, but it really is the same thing in spirit. You make your money driving Wisconsin roads, eating Wisconsin food, taking your kids to Wisconsin schools, and then when a lady says you should give a little back you leave? Shame.

J. Mackenzie Graham @yesternaut.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

We need to treat this kind of thing as what it is — tax evasion. You built your business in one state/province, but you move once you’re successful to pay less in taxes? That’s you evading taxes. Wisconsin tax payers will evade paying taxes if Francesca Hong becomes governor.
