Some friendship bracelets (and a keychain) I’ve made recently that I’m quite proud of.

If you want one made just for you, along with a personal microfiction note, you can commission me at my ko-fi (link in reply)! All of the pieces pictured are up for grabs as well.

An assortment of friendship bracelets, in various designs and color schemes. Many are themed to specific pride flags.

Physics Insight

Comic. PERSON: Sure, when *Einstein* suggests using the Lorentz transform to explain the connection between velocity and time, people call him a genius. But when *I* suggest it, it’s “basic physics” and “undergraduate stuff.” PERSON 2 with white hat: Such a double standard!

And starting this December, verified adults can erotically role play with me. I put on my robe and wizard hat...

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Sam Altman has said any workers who are displaced by OpenAI will be given free transportation to the nearest culling facility where they will be summarily slaughtered and converted into a nutritious paste meant to be consumed by busy tech executives who don’t have time for regular meals.

Sam Altman explains Open AIs vision for a world where no one goes hungry because all the displaced workers will be converted into essential nutrients for other tech executives.

A Doctor Who pure-historical where the TARDIS breaks down in 1750 BC Mesopotamia; luckily, it’s actually a really simple part to fix as long as they can find someone to sell them some good quality Sumerian copper.

The president keeps talking about how he knows he is going to hell and the material pleasures of life are just a balm for a wound growing deeper by the day. Which could be good or bad. It's impossible to say.

Andrew Cuomo tweet:

@ZohranKMamdani's "plan" provides no relief for working families who take the subway, and unnecessary benefits to wealthy New Yorkers who take the bus and can afford the fare.

I focus on working families, while @ZohranKMamdani the mansion boy focuses on helping the rich.

the best moral panic of my childhood was when people thought there was a bit in the lion king during "can you feel the love tonight" where the lions rolled through some grass in a way that spelled "sex", a devious plot to point out the scene's subtext to an audience of largely illiterate children
