OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product.

On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.

Reminder Superman is not a power fantasy, he's an altruism fantasy.

The idea of someone with godlike powers using them solely for good (with an antagonist who is a billionaire, who by definition do the opposite) was dreamt up by Jewish kids in the 30s and its just as if not more relevant now.

I have been fortunate that I've had an amazing support structure from not just family but also friends. But I thought this article really hit the nail on the head of the struggles that can occur when one gets isolated into the identity of a stay-at-home parent.
Why being a stay-at-home dad was hard
I was a stay-at-home dad for four-and-a-half years. Here's how it happened and why they were the most difficult and wonderful years of my life.

One of the most powerful things a #TTRPG group can do to fuel their GM/DM

Talk about the game between sessions. Make assumptions, ask questions, make loose plans, daydream out loud about scenes, suggest courses of action.

I've never met a GM that didn't find that FUEL for running the game.

"This is so great! I bet *this* will be the moment that my first prototype will be perfect with no problems!" 3 hours of printing later ... "Oh, Oh that's not right. That part is impractical, and there's not enough clearance over here... I think I have to start the model over from scratch..."

Mad about the shelving of Coyote VS Acme?

Then push for Congress to pass Zaslav’s Law.

If a film is shelved solely for a tax write off, it becomes the property of the cast & crew. They can then do whatever they want with it, & keep whatever money it makes.

I did a small show at a Dark Academia rpg event! It was my first one back, and even though it poured rain it was fun.
Today I'm rebuilding my Etsy with the stock I have!

Just yesterday, CBO released a working paper showing that enrolling kids in Medicaid half pays for itself mostly due to those kids ending up with higher earnings.

And CBO said that, if you offset the costs, the net present value of future deficits is reduced by $2 for every $1 spent.

Cabin crew: Is there a Dr on board?

Me: I am a Dr

Cabin crew: Thank God. We have a question about the 18th century textile trade in Northern Africa

Me: Ah. I'm afraid my PhD is in the ceramics of Northern Europe, 1672 - 1701
