amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Matt Walsh tweeted last year: "We've spent the last 25 years bringing "freedom" and "democracy" to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I'm so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why."

Then he tweeted today: ""This is a war for oil!!!!!"

First of all, the "war" lasted like 90 minutes. Second, going to war to secure vital resources for your own people is totally legitimate. Why should we allow some third world communist shithole to control trillions of dollars worth of oil?"

Laura Loomer tweeted last year: "I’m America First, I don’t support “Regime Change”. I went on @Bannons_WarRoom to talk about Chinese aggression in Venezuela and why we need to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign Islamic terrorist organization."

Then she tweeted yesterday: "Maduro has arrived at the DEA office in Manhattan. He was transported in an armored motorcade after being transported in a blindfold via helicopter & then by plane to New York after his compound in Caracas was raided by US Special Forces.

Proud to be an American today!

USA 🇺🇸"

Catturd tweeted last year: "Name one U.S. inspired regime change that hasn’t ended in absolute disaster."

Then he tweeted yesterday: "Venezuela is now more free than New York City."

Will Chamberlain tweeted last year: "The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars

If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position"

Then he tweeted yesterday: "I can think of few better uses of my tax dollars than black-bagging the head of a foreign narco-trafficking organization that enriches itself by addicting and poisoning my fellow Americans"

I had a Reddit post removed from an “Ask” subreddit because the mods said it could have been answered “by a search engine.”

Have any of them used a search engine lately? Search engines don’t answer shit anymore! They’re all completely enshittified. Why do you think I was on Reddit?

Independiente de como te pueda caer el gobierno de Venezuela esto para América Latina es una cagada, debe de ser tratado como tal y -para variar- llega en el peor momento, dónde estamos más descoordinados e inermes para, si quiera, montar una protesta conjunta (ya no hablemos de acciones efectivas)

The bird is fucking dead. If you're an artist still using the website, best just yeet yourself off there sharpish.

Your art is no longer yours. Any image you upload there is no longer yours. You're now but a resource for Grok.

QTori 🍣 @qtori.art · 18d

holy shit the new twitter update to allow anyone to edit any upload

people were already doing this on their own prior to this update and mocking me with "fixed" versions of my work

now its at a click of a button..

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

The rapidity with which Gaiman fans ditched him versus the lingering adoration of Hairy Bollocks and the Urethral Stone says a lot about who society deems is and isn't a proper victim. And I hate that.

Authors being shit to people is bad, always.

hey guys isn't it weird how they're all saying this at the same time? ignore the fact that this is now happening with Tyler Cowen, an economist who sits at the center of a sprawling system of think tanks and policy "influencers" who have been laundered into DC with both Koch and SV VC money

In a new podcast Sam Altman says: " When something gets sufficiently huge ... the federal government is kind of the insurer of last resort, as we've seen in various financial crises ... given the magnitude of what I expect AI's economic impact to look like, I do think the government ends up as the insurer of last resort."

The problem with rule of cool is that most nerds are deeply uncool

Dylan @djmalenfant.bsky.social · Nov 2

D&D will never improve until people accept that "rule zero" and "rule of cool" are not rules. They're patch guidelines.

Saying "I know the actual rules for this scenario don't work or aren't fun or don't exist, but rule zero!" is like saying "I know the table is wobbly, but you can buy a hand saw!"

Yes is a comma, No is a period. While you don't want to end every sentence early, you can't build a story out of one long sentence.

🧵
As a GM, I say ditch the mindset that "no" is bad, at the table. "No" can 100% be abused and can stifle fun, that's true. But it's contemptibly narrow-minded to vilify "no". Used skillfully, "no" can inspire creativity, protect the integrity of the table, the game world and the story. (1/6)

Al parecer el titular de la cuenta Varones Unidos en lo que era Twitter es uscado por un doble femicidio y huyó con su hijo.

Hace años insistiendo que ese personaje era un ser de mierda.
Estaba en contra de todos los derechos de la mujer y juraba masculinidad positiva.

When ChatGPT first took off this was the use case that confused me the most. People said they “only” used it to write “first drafts.” That’s the most important draft! That’s the thinking part!

Oliver Darcy @oliverdarcy.bsky.social · Sep 17

Scoop: Business Insider informed its staff this week that they are allowed to use ChatGPT to generate first drafts of their stories, while also indicating the newsroom will not disclose such A.I. use to readers.
