My piece the @assimilatedzine.bsky.social featuring Lethe and Lorelei playing a totally legal game of chess

#Destiny2 #Destiny2art #Assimilatedzine

An illustration of two Destiny 2 characters, one human, one a Traveler-type Vex. They are playing a game of chess.

The human, Lorelei is smirking in amusement, as she throws her opponent's chess pieces under the table for her ghost to teleport away. The Vex, Lethe, appears puzzled as it processes the missing pieces.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a powerful antibody, known as 04_A06, that is able to neutralize 98.5% of MORE THAN 300 different HIV strains AND permanently reduce HIV viral load to undetectable levels, making it one of the broadest-acting antibodies against HIV identified to date.

Reminder that Duolingo laid off most of their staff, including their localization teams, so that they could invest heavily into AI. Don't support Duolingo. Disable drops for a few days.

just a reminder that bandcamp friday is tomorrow & streaming services are interrupting music streams with ai generated shit, flooding the database with artists that don't exist in any way other than profiting the platform owners

so instead of paying a monthly fee, buy an album or two each month ok

you need to stop giving into to doomer impulses.

these are fights we can win. We've won some of them BEFORE, with LESS public outcry (tho do not let that engender passivity!)

quite a few of these dogshit bills have failed before! we can change the future!

This bill has died multiple times before and it's because people told their reps they don't like it, especially the red ones

If you're cancelling Game Pass today, grab a cheap indie game or two, and then put the rest of the money toward supporting indie games media by subscribing to your favourite podcasts/websites/etc.

PSA about D*scord's TOS changes. You need to email arbitration-opt-out(at)discord(dot)com to NOT waive legal rights. A template: "I am opting out of the agreement to arbitrate for the account (username) as of (current date)",
OG post: www.tumblr.com/eggseventy/7...

discord's new terms of service DO have a mandatory arbitration clause for the United States and Canada, you have 30 days to opt out by emailing an opt out notice to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com. this has been your standard "for the love of god do not waive your right to a jury trial under any circumstances" notice

I sent an email that was "I am opting out of the agreement to arbitrate for the account (username) as of (current date)", and i sent it from the email associated with that account.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have unveiled a promising new vaccine that generates a powerful immune response against HIV and other viruses including SARS-CoV-2 and influenza with just ONE dose. By combining immune-boosting adjuvants, the vaccine encourages the body to generate more antibody variations.

Pop psychology: Bipolar is mood swings.

Actual psychology: Bipolar involves manic and depressive episodes that are intense and disruptive, sometimes requiring hospitalization, far beyond ordinary shifts in mood.

The image is a side-by-side comparison titled “pop psychology” versus “actual psychology.”

Left side (pop psychology):
• “Gaslighting is when someone lies to you or tries to convince you that you’re wrong.”
• “Being triggered means that something makes you uncomfortable or annoyed.”
• “People who are rude, mean, or self-centered are narcissists.”
• “Anything that hurts you is trauma.”

Right side (actual psychology):
• “Gaslighting is an elaborate strategy where you are manipulated to question your reality, memory, or sanity – not just a disagreement over what happened.”
• “A trigger is something that causes a sudden increase in symptoms – like flashbacks in PTSD or compulsions in OCD. A ‘trigger’ is not just a source of general discomfort.”
• “Everyone has some narcissistic traits, and many people are unpleasant or absive without being narcissists. Narcissistic personality disorder is a clinical diagnosis, and it doesn’t always lead to absive behavior.”
• “Anything that overwhelms your ability to cope can be traumatic. Trauma has long-lasting impacts and it goes beyond ordinary adversity. Something being hurtful isn’t automatically trauma.”

The Instagram handle @igototherapy is written vertically between the two columns. The background is light grey, with the left column text in dark grey and the right column text in black, with some words bolded for emphasis.
