How about as a society, we stop defining success by wealth, and defining it by happiness instead?

The desperate need to accumulate more and more at the cost of everyone else’s wellbeing should be classified as a mental disorder, and I will absolutely die on this hill.
Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Hot-take: the #OnlineSafetyAct has nothing whatsoever to do with child protection or even nanny-state control. It's a massive harvest of data to be sold on to advertisers. Who do you think is processing all that personal information?

behold the "HTML bomb"
It's a counterattack for AI companies that persistently scrape and rescrape your web site, even when you tell them not to
when a scraper grabs it, it becomes a 10-gig HTML page and 💣 goes the scraper

It's very telling how this monologue, at that period of time in the world is suddenly spesificily relevant in the most recent months.
The late great Charlie Chaplin was warned not to produce his 1941 film "The Great Dictator" for fear of controversy and backlash. It was the 2nd biggest film that year.
84 years later, it is largely remembered for this speech.

Art and Music are always important because they truly make life worth living. Never let people devalue that work especially if it's not in service for a corporation or product. Art is the beauty of human expression, it serves an important purpose for the spirit.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

We don’t celebrate Pride for the rainbows or parades, we do it because *right now* someone out there believes they don’t deserve love, just because of who they are or who they love.
That’s why we celebrate Pride—because we want to build a world where no one feels that way.

Remember when she funded an anti trans bill, then when it passed, posted a picture of herself with wine and cigars and bragged ‘I love it when a plan comes together?’
That is literally where that money for these games go.

was checking out an art account and noticed an “AI Assisted” label on all of their posts plus a watermark on their images boasting about it
I don’t care how much or little you’re using AI in your art: if you’re using it, I’m blocking you.

If you’re reading one book a month that’s an achievement, if you’re reading 10/20 a month that’s an achievement too. It’s so important to read at your own pace, and read what you want. Short stories, novellas, manga and graphic novels all count as reading too hence why I am able to read so much!
