Did Dray call in sick tonight? #Valkyries
[3/4] condemning the evil values of these right-wing extremists and refusing to tolerate atrocities by Australian soldiers. If I were Australian, I would not support a plutocratist party overall. Plutocratist policies are driving the non-rich into penury. But I have to admire Hastie's adamant support for the laws of war. The other soldier was not prosecuted for murder. Rather, he sued, for defamation, those who reported on the murders. He lost the case because the judge ruled that the
The publisher is getting desperate. The push back is working so they are left to do this sort of nonsense. When people vote with thier wallets good things than happen. We don’t have to fund people who’s views we find abhorrent
I hate to say it, but other people running pull requests through Claude seem to be finding a low rate of simple errors that the authors may have missed. The hit rate is low (around 15% success rate by bullet item, i.e. 85% false positives), and I haven’t seen *anything* that couldn’t have been caught by a peer reviewer reading the diff. I’m not sold on #AI for PR review because it’s mostly noise and takes time to read, but it *does* call out a low rate of common bugs that code authors may glaze over. It *does not* replace a human reviewer who can comment on design and architecture, and could also catch those same errors. But it *does* have a small success rate. I guess if you code alone, it’s better than nothing. But so is a rubber duck.
Does anyone have recommendations for a Bluesky Client on Mac? 🥹
Season 2 of Dark Matter: what a mess. Can’t tell who is who, no idea what’s going on. The one positive note: At least they’re trying to explain the many weird coincidences by working them into the story. But still: Lost vibes danger zone…
Really tired of people who lack the scientific nuance to be able to point out the benefits of the COVID vaccines without going so far as to misrepresent them or downplay that they *DO NOT PREVENT YOU FROM CATCHING OR SPREADING THE VIRUS OR BEING DISABLED LONG-TERM*.
In this Light jam, Mike and Page are playing like Trey is on the drum set but he’s playing some kickass shit on the guitar. Just super creative all around. #phish
If you were going to assign Arcane characters to a pantheon (dealer's choice) who would you assign to what and why?
WHY DO I EVEN HAVE HERO POINTS. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Im so tired of trans infighting. "This subset group is why we aren't taken seriously" No. We aren't taken seriously, because those trying to cast us out can't imagine someone with a lived experience different than their own. And apparently neither can half of you?? It's just so frustrating to watch.
Mastodon is a great idea, but it has a fatal flaw: authoritarianism. Mods and admins are free to censor posts and users on a whim, and far too many of them seem eager to do so. I want to see a social media service–it could even be a Mastodon instance–which is run democratically, so that deletions and bans are put up to the vote of all participants. Dictatorships suck, and that includes ONLINE dictatorships! #Mastodon #SocialMedia
Robot, give me the best datura and wolfsbane recipes ever thanks
Carve up the large US tech companies.
I suppose the obvious point of difference is that climate change will impact women disproportionately Men tend to be more egocentric (for whatever nature/nurture reasons), but I think we should feel empowered to call out these untouchable creeps who deny or delay www.ft.com/content/6111...
#Yankees. All appreciation to Aaron Boone for 2003, but time for a new manager.
Hit me with your favorite neurology related songs! Themes include brain, mind, nerves, and muscles. Obvious and obscure references are welcome.
What is interesting about these BOT accounts is not so much that they exist, especially in a time of war, but that the content that must be conveyed to the gullible audience is such complete and utter drivel. Dmitry Peskov should find better representation for his earth shattering press release. #Russia

Did you know that "q" wasn't a officially a letter of the alphabet until it was codified by papal writ in 1283? Of course you didn't! It's not true, so how could you have known it?! Don't lie to me!
Readers, when do you give up on a series? Authors get told to write in series because readers like them. But I suspect readers also drop series all the time, and nobody tells the author why. So, readers: when do you give up? bervet.com/forum/general/63 📚💙 #booksky #books #amreading
I love listening to James O'Brien when I need to catch up on UK political news, but as far as the UK's concerned, we're in a very dark place when it comes to the safety of POCs. I mean listen to my fellow *English* POCs (fuck off Suella Braverman with your internalised racism) during some of these phone calls. They are absolutely frightened, and they should be unfortunately. A sort of madness has struck the country, as if the spirit of an old, defeated enemy is possessing the minds of the vulnerable. #ukpol #uk youtu.be/2CUbyroBJns
I love the artists who draw fictional rockets, it's not my realm but I think it's beautiful.
My favourite bit is where “extra lines of code” are touted as productivity gains in software development. No real developer thinks that just producing more code is meaningful. It has to translate to what the customer gets eg more features, less bugs. Thankfully the article points out that the actual returns are marginal.
Do I know anybody on here who benches their body weight? I wanna know how you got there
Widows Bay could have been an email. I just could not connect with its humor nor horror. I also have a hard time considering it a comedy. Its location had so much potential, and yet it feels just like any other place in the American Northeast where there is a forest
why is no one talking bout the fact that nasa just casually dropped 1,000 new artemis ii images today??!!!
IMO Electric Callboy is great wedding reception music.
does anyone have any good resources for men's fashion... i want to draw more characters in streetwear but mens fashion is just so boring to me
Like, I found a copy of the Goodman Games archival reissue of Temple of Elemental Evil and it's clear that they have *no idea* what it is they're doing. It's mostly a cleaned up re-issue of the original module with an uninspired 5e adaptation hanging out the back. Then it's some undigested archival material and then some interviews, but does it involve anyone who actually worked on the project at the time? No. The closest is an interview with one of the artists but it's about their career
Oddly funereal tone from them all too. I'm not a "the broadcasters are biased" guy, but they're all like, "But ... the Dodgers tho."
We are in a different moment, economically. Back then, earning user confidence was necessary to sell the product. And, in the world of dial-up, most people had multiple vendors to choose from. Nowadays, because of regulatory capture, one maybe has one or two broadband vendors available, and they (usually) all suck because always-on internet is a necessary utility for a middle-class household. So, it's all rent-seeking and cutting costs, which often means intentionally sacrificing quality.
@mingemi.bsky.social do you feel better now about picking the Dream at the beginning of the season?

Thatchers ‘legacy’ is flattered by what went before, industrial mayhem that she partially ended. But she sold off the family silver privatising swathes of British industry and squandering North Sea oil and crippling rather than subduing union power. She encouraged greed and the loadza money society.
Oilers scored amazing goals against ducks!
do replies show up on people’s feeds? can i like create an echo chamber that won’t show up on y’all’s feeds. cause sometimes i really need to-
The Problem With Israel Goes Much Deeper Than 'Netanyahu’s Extremist Government' commondreams.org/opinion/probl…
this is very bizarre to me. all of this was already explicitly and textually laid out in the first game with basically no way of missing it unless you just completely ignore everything but the moment to moment gameplay. how does someone start resonant from the POV that dylan is the bad guy
Just brows... OOOH! I gotta say, these are definitely going on my next AliExpress order... a.aliexpress.com/_mOkJoZ9 #AliExpress
What's a great, commercially unavailable retro game that—whether because of legal issues or any other reason—you don't foresee being re-released or remade in your lifetime?
Americans scream tyranny is wonderful, but Americans are unable to explain why Cubans try to escape even though Cuba has gun control and free medical care.
The discord disinformation is so annoying because people are making a reasonable assumption "Oh it wasn't Discord, but it was one of Discord's partners, so it might as well still be Discord' but lol no it isn't even that
Yes AI driven game mods will be HUGE - then games will be entirely AI driven, then movies. There will be expnsive bespoke 'human made' options but they'll be the exception. Our media will mostly be GenAI shotly. This all ends terribly poorly I'm afraid.
i've never had banana pancakes, are they any good?
Just binged Ironheart. Spoilers ahead. I don't know what disturbs me more - that I immediately knew Sacha Baron Cohen is Mephisto after the first scene with him, or that Riri strikes a Faust pact. Doesn't anyone ever read Goethe's Faust anymore?!? #Ironheart #mcu #Goethe #Faust
Malvina Reynolds song Little Boxes was just used in this Dunkin Doughnuts commercial and that’s really depressing.
Oh, so THIS is Larks without the "C". This is way more fun. Also, someone whoop Cousins ass PLEASE.
how do musicians/composers charge when it comes to music comms like genuinely
Just got an email from GOG claiming that Octopath Traveller from 2018 is a 'good old game' now... I like you guys, but this is beyond ridiculous #RetroGaming #GOG
