I just think they’re uninteresting and most of their cultural touchstones arent explored in interesting ways. Like, if dwarves are so conservative and unflinching id see it possible that they just become like shogunate japan but underground
I have a new hot take
Im not a fan of Dwarves as a fantasy race
Short measure
'Misura stretta'
An illustration if a spherical bodied robot rendered in dark metal with brass detailing, with a plasma canon on one arm
My interpretation of the lethal combat robots (or ‘frobots’) from #amphibia; tools of the Newtopian Empire.

NEW, from me: A secret chapter of Cold War history, told here for the first time. A deep cover Soviet Bloc spy in America at the end of the Cold War. The shocking moves by a European intel chief. And the incredible CI chess games by FBI and CIA counterspies.

Idrisah and Cheevwut sit in her cubicle organizing a pile of loose cables on the floor. Idrisah: Cheevwut, do you know where I put that USB-G cable? A series of increasingly loud thumping footsteps causes Idrisah look up in surprise. Talita has returned, gripping the top of the cubicle wall, eyes wild. Idrisah: Is something wrong? Talita glances fearfully at the entrance to the admin wing, the direction she fled from. Talita: There’s… centaurs outside. Cheevwut: Oh yeah, that’s your new temp crew.
Talita grips her neck, horrified. Talita: What?? Cheevwut: Mel wanted it to be a surprise. Looks like it worked. Talita slumps on top on the cubicle wall, holding her head and staring off into space, dazed. Cheevwut seems amused by her anguish. Cheevwut: Haw haw. Idrisah: Are you… alright? Talita: I– Idrisah's computer, which isn’t packed yet, begins to ring. It's a call from someone named "Ranni Powell." Cheevwut leans over to peek at the monitor. Cheevwut: You're getting a call from the orbital station? Weird. They only do that for urgent stuff.
Talita and Idrisah exchange a panicked look. Cheevwut: Uh… You gonna pick it up? Idrisah quickly taps the enter key to pick up the call. Ranni's wrinkly whiskered face appears on the video call screen, with the tubular space station interior behind her. It is cluttered with decades of memorabilia. The bulkhead doors are ringed with circular drawstring curtains, the hatch handles and hand holds are covered with crocheted cozies, and family picture frames are attached all over the floorless walls. Paul floats behind Ranni, upside-down from the camera's perspective, using a computer console surrounded by duck figurines and childrens' artwork. Ranni: Hello Idrisah– Oh, sorry, dear, I forgot you were packing up today! Should I call Ohwitiil instead? Idrisah tries to conceal her terror. Cheevwut peeks over her shoulder nosily. Talita crouches behind the cubicle wall, trying to hide. Idrisah: Hi Ranni! It’s fine! Why’d you call?
This week on #RunawayToTheStars: Cheevwut is watching this office drama and eating alien popcorn.

tenchi masaki from tenchi muyo dressed in a grey schoolgirl uniform walks through a scifi scanner thingie
a computer screen showing his skeleton and a DNA strand, captioned dialog reads "everything looks okay"
the space cop or whatever says "but did you know your frame is very masculine?"
tenchi says "uh, i... have a father who's a man"
it's a pleasant surprise if you find a crossdressing character in a 90s anime and the joke being told is funny
"PFF-223, Standby for rendezvous and inspection"
"Standing by, PFF-223"
"So many inspections these days, like what do they think were carrying, a nuke in our cargo hold to blow Luna Shipyards?"
"Cap! The comms is still open..."
"PFF-223, Standby for detainment and questioning."
No true ai liberationists exist

Exterminationists*, fuck
It's laying an egg!
No one is really ready for when you have to ask your computer for consent to do anything and i think that would probably break a good many of the pro-AI camp
i often think back to this point in which pro-AI folks were harping on about how the left would be the bad guys in traditional stories of AI personhood, but a lot of pro-AI people dont really want AI rights either. They want to own them. debate at face value, its externationists vs slaveowners

4 frame comic. the first frame shows Fredrick Brennan, the second shows the 8chan logo, the third shows the 8chan homepage, the fourth shows birds flying out of a tree near a house on a pink sky. the text reads, across the four frames : I was saddened to learn about the recent passing at 31 of fredrick brennan. he was born with brittle bone syndrom, an inherited genetic disease, and early in his life, deve- lopped the belief that people like him should be forcibly sterilized. at 12, he joined 4chan, which further radicalized him into incel culture and white supremacy. when 4chan banned discussions about gamergate, he decided to create the unmoderated 8chan. but after a few years, he realized how his creation brought out the worst in people. he gave the web- site to his associate, and went on to spend the rest of his life back- tracking on the politics of his youth, trying to get the website shut down and making amends. I wouldn't say that we were friends, but we did talk several times. he first reached out to me in 2018 to offer a formal apology for the harassment and doxxing I suffered from 8chan. after that, he kept monitoring the forums, and would let me know whenever people were planning to cause trouble at my public talks and things like that. when I think about brennan's complicated story and legacy, I'm reminded how people can change. his change of heart inspired me to keep creating through hardships. I hope you rest in peace, fredrick. apologies accepted.
Apologies accepted.
Its gotten worse. Cant sleep more than two hour bursts.

Woke up vomiting

i feel confident saying this.
if you are anti nuclear power in the big 2026 Common Era you are at best a useful idiot.
but you're still cool
