Yes, please, strictly cater to me and my own tastes & worldview, & for the love of god don't expose me to new ideas, outside cultures, difficult emotions, challenging ideas, or anything that might accidentally make me a well-rounded human being, or at least not a completely fucking boring one.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

It's too depressing and obnoxious to write about, but virtually all of the doomy/horny AI hyperventilating is transparently displaced anxiety about our fucked climate and political situation. Even rich idiots know it's bad and being permitted to get worse. They're trying to write their own ending.

Bring back jesters. No one ever dared tell the kings no or mock them, except the jester. And I stg every billionaire is brain rotted from not hearing “no”. So we need court-appointed mockers to be around them 18 hours day. “You’re weird.” “Your idea sucks” “wtf is wrong with you?”

Amazing news, thanks to decades of unrelenting advocacy by the Yurok, Karuk and Klamath Tribes. It’s heartening to see the collaborative nature of the salmon restoration effort reflected in this paper’s authorship, which includes all three Tribes, state & federal agencies, NGOs & private entities.

every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸

The thing about wealth is that when sane people think about coming into a bunch of money they think about things to buy and people to help, and saving some for later. Those assholes* just think about how to use that money to make more money. *you know who I mean. Those assholes.

The main way in which AI has negatively impacted games industry jobs is not through actual automation of those jobs or even untrue claims about automation. It's by making capital unavailable because it's tied up in AI investments while also destroying the consumer base for video game hardware.

I use generations of sewing needles. The oldest are the super fines from my great grandmother (1930’s), then the weird long upholstery needles from grandma (1960’s), daily use from mom (1970’s), and some that I bought (1980’s). Modern sewing needles suck so I take care of my old ones.

The thing about success (especially on social media) is that you need to be consistent. Post a lot (preferably with a theme), make art that has a ‘brand’, promote your game… Meanwhile I’m over here as my kid said, “Mom, you can’t even do something the same way ONCE!”

No, it’s not ‘normal’ for humans to be in competition all the time. It’s not normal to work for most of your waking hours of the day. It’s not normal to be stressed 24/7. Stop taking a few hundred years of capitalism and pretending that’s just how being human is. It’s not.

Two pictures. On the left is a black polymer fancy shell with stand. On the right is the same thing but painted hella baroque, so the seashell looks real and the gold has some green wear or patina.
