The early 3D games just didn't age that well for people unless they really love that aesthetic. A Link To The Past just feels like the way better game to me in 2025.

I promise, you don't need to learn to integrate LLMs into your workflow to "keep up with the future."

You think they can keep these billion dollar data centers open once the bubble bursts? No chance in hell. In the future, LLMs will be far less present in our lives than today.

This was exactly my thought too.

Gavin Newsom is on the wrong side of history. He has completely missed the moment, and it will ultimately cost him his chance at the presidency. His weasel shit might have played in the 2024 primaries if we'd had them, but he'll be cast aside well before 2028.

Any trans person who begins their transition today is exhibiting more courage than most people will in their entire lives.

Ellison's CBS brought on the two editors that got NYT to publish Tom Cotton's 2020 op-ed calling for soldiers to shoot protesters in the streets. Hard to find a clearer editorial throughline than "anyone protesting murder by the state should be killed for it."

Look, I appreciate this. TV needs more of this. Let’s have fun again. Seriously things are so bad in the industry and everywhere. Let’s all turn on stuff at night together and go “that was insane” and then surprise there are 20 more episodes and the characters don’t remember being in orbit.

Trans polycules are bringing back the nuclear family in a big way. They even have the dog.

normal person: i just want a place to hang out with my friends
tech weirdo: and shitheads
np: no just my friends
tw: but what about hearing alternative views on race and gender?
np: we just want to hang out and goof around
tw: so where do the shitheads fit in then
np: no shitheads
tw: not following

According to Pete Walker, one of the key elements that distinguishes CPTSD from PTSD is the locus of control and blame. PTSD tends to be more externally-focused: there are threats outside. CPTSD tends to be internally-focused: I am in danger because *I am being/doing things wrong*.

I genuinely am shocked to think that there may be autistic people out in the world who *don't* have CPTSD because existing in our current society as autistic is so fundamentally traumatic

I have reinvented myself and my career multiple times since I turned 30, and I expect to do so again. Do not believe you can't radically revamp your life as you age. You can, and you will, and you must!

It's totally possible (and fun as hell) to bring that energy into a relationship if you're doing it from an emotionally healthy place! I have a T4T relationship with that energy and it's so healing for both of us. You just have to make sure it doesn't collapse into codependency and it's so good.

Oh hey I had this exact experience as a millennial. Cool scam that keeps getting run on every generation.

Yup! And it kinda ruins the actual thing some, too. It's so toxic.

When I first learned about AI, I was sympathetic to the idea that if a being that plausibly could be sentient said it was sentient, you should believe it.

Then I learned how LLMs worked.

Gang, these things aren't conscious. "AI" is just a name chosen to make a faulty product seem important.

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

My personal tier list is something like this, though I could probably be persuaded a bit on some of them.

I've also come around to Reputation being a legitimately great album, so maybe her last two will grow on my more with time.

I do think the hate Life of Showgirl is getting right now is overblown - a chunk of people just REALLY want to hate on Taylor and see vulnerability for the first time ever.

Life of a Showgirl: it's totally fine! Not great, but fine. I liked it more (at least at first listen) than Tortured Poets Department.

Both records suffer from the same problem: she cannot live a normal life, and hasn't for many years. Being incredibly rich is the worst thing for an artist.

I saved some wine cave memes from the 2020 primary in case I need them again in the future

Like I've said, we have more support than they want us to believe.

This week:

- 18 state attorneys general openly declared support for trans people, including a stunning rebuff for anti-trans talking points.

- Kansas(!) is now letting trans people change gender markers.

- The Dems DID NOT ( at least for now) cave on trans healthcare in the budget.

WE CAN WIN

we gotta stop giving theater kids shit. theyre just out here experiencing life to the fullest, enjoying themselves, truly embodying "i am cringe but i am free" to be told u have "theater kid energy" is to be told you are fun
