Be glad that trans people want equality

And not revenge.

From "The Book of Records" by Madeline Thien (2025): 'Mai, Isaac, Miriam, Esther and Pai had died more than three years ago, but it felt like three seconds and three centuries. Baruch was stuck in mourning. He no longer existed for Gabriel and Rifka. "But what is mourning?" he asked the music. "Mourning is the painful letting go of a certain and once credible future." Clara Maria had lifted her hands and the clavichord was playing itself.'

Screenshot from "The Witcher 3" in which Geralt is smirking and giving a thumbs up.

Feels stupid to intimidate myself out of doing something I want and enjoy—yet it's an effort to get myself out from under that feeling every time I have it.

Can't watch NCG's video until I've played Avowed.
Can't play Avowed until I've finished Pillars of Eternity 2.
Can't play Pillars 2 until I've played Pillars of Eternity (1).

ICO writes to Meta over 'concerning' AI smart glasses report Videos, including of glasses-wearers using the toilet or having sex, are sometimes reviewed by a Kenya-based subcontractor.

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

This may well be a description of how some execs expect to be treated.

I made a bingo card

UEFA and FIFA may get a red card at the ICC for ignoring Israeli violations A landmark referral of UEFA and FIFA leaders to the International Criminal Court could set an important legal precedent.

The historic ICC case against the leaders of FIFA/UEFA aligns with @franceskalbs.bsky.social injunction that all leaders of corporate entities that have collaborated in Israel's crimes should no longer enjoy impunity.

It sets a vital precedent.

"I am a vision of health and wellbeing
from the shit in my blood
to the blood in my shit"

From "The Book of Records" by Madeleine Thien:"Maimonides threw a dinner roll at him, which Descartes tried and failed to catch. Averroes said, "One day Descartes stopped by the tavern. Want a drink? the barman said. 'I think not, Descartes answered, and poof, he disappeared!" They hooted with laughter. "I think not, therefore I'm not- whoops... poof!""

I can write them, I just can't then look at them.

Illustration from "The Paper Bag Princess" by Michael Martchenko, showing a dragon exhaling fire to burn down a forest. The Princess is covering her head nearby.

"Is this true, is this true, is this truuue, Grok?"

Grok used a huge, deep amount of compute and burnt enough methane to destroy fifty whole forests.

Illustration from the Frog and Toad books, by Arnold Lobel. Frog is closing a box, while Toad points at it greedily.

Frog put the generative AI in a box. "There," he said, "now we will not pollute the commons further."

"But," said Toad, "it's inevitable that we open the box."

Write five-hundred words a day—net.

The violence being done to language & truth by this craven, mealy-mouthed shitstain is second only to the actual vicious & unjustifiable violence to which he’s signing his name.

“The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world and its human and non-human inhabitants.”

My audience is content lovers. Lovers of content.

"Generative AI is basically a cosmic game of telephone where information is passed through a process that privileges the frequency of information over nearly all else."
