As I'm (🍁) no longer interested in headed to the US I have a pair of tickets to the Viva Mas Vegas D20 show on Nov 1 that won't go to use. If any of "my" people here are interested I'd be happy to chat before I try to sell them in another way.

We just watched these and my wife is surprised they ended up being our favorite franchise! And in our opinion get better as the franchise goes on (which, rare)

Of course, my heroes have to approach through the sewers and then the catacombs to slip passed the Angelic Wards and High Tech defenses protecting the Vatican.

The spirit was deafeted but had to be sealed in the deep catacombs beneath the vatican that were then walled off.

LONG time ago. There was a disgraced pope (based on pop stephen VI who was deposed and imprisoned after riots against him, and died strangled in the sewer) who came back as the ghostly Pope Tenebris at the head of an undead army to try to conquer the vatican. ->

Sometime during the renaissance, an alchemist accidentally turned himself into an immortal rat-man and fled underground. Ever since, armies of rats and rat-men periodically surge up from underground to try to take over Various places in Italy.

I fucking hate this so much. I hate this so fucking much, but I can't continue to stay silent anymore while my integrity is continuing to be misconstrued and people keep getting hurt. This statement details my experiences while living with Noir Enigma (@/thenoirenigma) when I was homeless.

My Experience w/ Noir Enigma

01/20/2025 I’m writing about my experience with thenoirenigma, or Noir Enigma. His partner, AJ Fox (pahnita), will be included in this statement, but I want to make clear that I don’t harbor anything ...

You cannot, by definition, be eugenicist to an LLM.
Thats not what eugenics was, is or means.
But also, it should worry everyone when tech people like Hailey dehumanize the actual survivors and ongoing victims of eugenics by making comparisons like this--its alarming.

Timnit Gebru @timnitgebru.bsky.social · 1d

A someone who has written extensively about the eugenic roots that permeates those who claim to be building so-called artificial general intelligence, I'm here to tell you to please NOT compare criticism against corporations claiming to build a machine god, with eugenics. The audacity.

if you're writing a sentence that sounds like eugenics but you go "oh that's fine to say because it's not a real person" (whatever that means) you may want to consider what made you okay with saying that.

Also an important lesson for cis White folks (straight men especially): Your threat of withholding support or allyship means less than nothing to anyone historically marginalized. It's literally the baseline assumption we work from. You're not "showing us," you're just confirming our expectations.
