It's what we feared: the higher ups despise us, the D&D community, and see us only as an "obstacle to their money".

@4LOVofScience I don't know why AI does it, but it's a weird confluence that the dreaming brain does too!

If you are dreaming and you try to count your fingers, they do weird things like what AI does to them - morph and blob and such.

HELLTH.

My GOODNESS.

Hmmm. I just had a bizarre experience, involving a global news organisation and a trillion dollar corporation. (I got caught in the middle, so... owch.)
It’s not the sort of experience the people involved usually talk about in public… so I think I’ll talk about it in public.

Incredible scenes on Weibo, someone tweeted a bird expert "I saw this bird what's it called?", people mocking the sketch until the expert replies "Oh yeah that's a Twelve-wired Bird of Paradise, the sketch is great except you're missing five wires"

@maggiekarp please do not eat the plush lamb that would both be very sad and extremely unhealthy and it almost certainly would taste terrible

@tuckwoodstock Okay, but I did honestly need that explained because I have face blindness and also a terrible memory for 90s sitcoms and actor names

there’s no funnier caricature of masculinity than the Him from “holiday gifts for him.” he doesn’t drink any liquid but whiskey. he’s got 20 watches on each wrist. if he saw a single texture other than leather he would throw one of his pocket knives at it.

Part of me really wants to play the Callisto Protocol.

But the rest of me thinks that the combat looks terribly tedious and I just had really good times playing Scorn and Moons of Madness recently and am hoping to have a similar experience.

If I had a pound for every actor who played a minotaur in Doctor Who and then 5 years later played Darth Vader in Star Wars I’d have £2, which isn’t much but it’s weird that it happened twice

But it would be very nice to have it on during cycling workouts where impacts should hopefully be nonexistent

For instance, I kept getting false positives during a boxing workout (where the watch is under wraps and a glove so extra hard to reach, yet impacts are sudden and intense and frequent), so basically never want it on then

You should be able to turn off Apple’s fall detection for specific types of workouts.

I asked an AI to describe a cat and then I put the AI's description of a cat into an AI image generator.

@maggiekarp Thank you for making me retch at the gym

The fact that dudes go on a diet but they call it "biohacking" is so funny to me.

Like if men started knitting they would call it "hyper threading" or "powertangling" or some shit

@stuffedskullcat Oh no! It sucks that we get so little time with them. You gave him a good life, and he'll be missed.

Watching the MST3K turkey day marathon and the mascot "Turkules" said he can deadlift twice his body weight (but at what cost??) and is this the amount of muscle non-lifters think is required to deadlift twice your body weight? mst3k.com/turkeyday

Here are actually experts explaining the many problems with the NYTs article on puberty blockers. Read this and ask yourself how that piece was written and approved. The Times, Twohey, Jewett, and their editors should be embarassed and ashamed. wpath.org/media/cms/Docu…

@meowludo The problem will probably be something completely inane, like the person who renewed certs is gone and no one else remembers to do it so one day nothing works until they figure it out

That, or no one notices/fixes security problems and there’s a huge breach/defacement

i love both tumblr and twitter but they are fundamentally different and neither can replace the other. you can't go to tumblr for up-to-the-minute breaking news, and you can't go to twitter for a whole user base collectively inventing a 1973 scorsese mafia movie from whole cloth

We really need to bring back this energy.

tumblr will occasionally just tip you backwards into a slightly different but unnerving alternate universe like you're the protagonist of a haruki murakami novel and that's why it's a good website

God of War Ragnarok has two, different, sets of end credits; neither of which plays at a point where you’d expect (but especially the second, longer set which has the Hozier song)

This feels chaotic, somehow

the worst thing is I could have conceivably been convinced to pay a small monthly fee for some premium features, just like I do with spotify and youtube, but all the ones he offered sucked and I would sooner set money on fire before I gave it to that worm

Anyway tekniklr.tumblr.com - it’s basically just a place where I reblog whatever catches my eye; sorta a lookbook for my interests. I hardly ever actually write or post anything original there. But, I’m there often, regardless.

As someone who never left tumblr in the first place,

1. It’s nice seeing more activity over there in the past day or so

2. It’s so different from Twitter (at least how I use Twitter and tumblr) that I don’t understand what y’all are thinking, honestly

@BrianEnigma It's a bold statement in flavor for women's rights

@BrianEnigma I see know that this is Mickey, but I’m gonna be honest- at first glance I thought it was a uterus with ovaries

Since my cool cybre.space mastodon instance is closing, I've dusted off my old mastodon.social account and reversed the redirects - mastodon.social/@tekniklr

If twitter goes away for real, I'll probably try mastodon out again, and maybe it will stick

Oh shit lol. Twitter HQ in San Francisco tonight

hold up like 12 new ppl joined.
we're working on it. give it a sec :) twitter.com/PopCrave/statu…

Alright, I've finally decided I should start using Twitter more! Let's go! ... guys?
