😠😠😠​

now i want a whole collection of wrongly illustrated state T-shirts: the barren deserts of Seattle, the gator-infested mists of the London bayou, the neon glamour of Jackson Hole's theater district by night...

Show thread

meanwhile I'm over here staring at the way queer people used to refer to themselves in the 1990s in the most charming, snarlingly unpolitik way and wondering if some of y'all would just melt like a chocolate bar left on a sunny dashboard to hear it. language is a full-contact sport and if you react with disgust to any jargon that is even mildly outre you are handing ammunition to people who wish you overt harm

Hey, is anybody else playing King of the Castle or willing to pick it up? I'd love to get a game together.

I feel less safe and secure as a modern adult now knowing that I can, at any time, buy an Optigan for only $4,000.

re: POKER FACE, "ESCAPE FROM SHIT MOUNTAIN" (S1E9) SPOILERS 

I mean, her whole banjo leitmotif is straight out of a "lost lovable miscreant dog" show from the 1970s ferchrissake... Gonna start callin' her Boomer, or Benji, or Wishbone. XD (Or Coyote Doggirl, h/t to Lisa Hanawalt...)

She's such a good scragglepuppy though. You just know that in her last canid life she had a reluctantly adopted little flock of ducklings following her around, or something...

POKER FACE, "ESCAPE FROM SHIT MOUNTAIN" (S1E9) SPOILERS 

Poor Charlie, but at least -- as far as I'm concerned -- she's 100% proven my fan theory that she is a misincarnate coyote. You just try to show me how I'm wrong.

perv gear, zeerust, black ICE(?), extremely large polynomials and yes that is a euphemism for something 

So @anthracite has new breast pumps. They are shiny and solid black and make her look rather like a cyborg. I want to dress her up in a trenchcoat and have a hot night of shadowrunning on the town together, maybe pennyskim the Orbital Bank of Zurich with her four terabit nipples.

3. worse, we have an uncanny ability to anthropomorphize anything we interact with whether or not it has intelligence in that way.

basically people are computers for working with other people and thus like how a hammer makes everything look like a nail, we make everything look like a person

Show thread

AI discourse, New Yorker link 

and it hits me, the comparison to how rephrasing is often a good sign that people understand something but is not a good sign that computers do gets to some points that I've made several times:

1. that these relatively simple statistical models "work" says much more about how _we_ think than if the models think

2. that we don't have a non-anthropocentric model of intelligence and thus are doomed to fail to recognize intelligences we can't interact with

I don't play AAA games, friend

I play BBB games

Those are the games with bees in them

a mileage marker; cw: vague and hollow tiger grump; eminently skippable 

there is a thing that i have ardently stopped caring about just now and quite suddenly and finally

it is not a person

but it is not something that will make you happier if i tell you i really have entirely stopped giving a shit about it

there is nothing i can do about it but this

so i leave this marker in the dirt

...but it's one of those "tiger markers" if you know what i mean so you might want to step around it anyhow

this is just a faintly more satisfying solution than doing nothing at all

you know -- poopin on it

sorry folks, the rain should get it in a couple days

cw: queerphobia, grumbling 

Beyond the obviously disgusting nonsense of queer elders constantly undergoing a systematic campaign of erasure, the hypocrisy of 'I can tell a 14 year old he needs to go kill foreigners to Be A Man but you can't tell him it's okay to love who he wants' makes me want to barf.

Show thread

cw: queerphobia, grumbling 

I am incredibly tired of the way conservatives demand access to young people to inject paranoia and xenophobia directly into their hearts, while simultaneously insisting a queer adult can't ask anyone more than 2 years younger than them for directions without it being sinister.

cat """crisis""" (she's just fine) 

Artie does not comprehend that the weather is going to be the same (i.e. rainy) at the front door as it is at the back door.

After three attempts. Keep tryin', kid. It's New Orleans so you might be waiting a while.

financial and material aid request (survival, amazon wishlist + paypal) 

Hey. I'm Lex. You may know me from other assistance posts, such as this one: vulpine.club/@LexYeen/10834270

I'm effectively living in the place now, but it's still overflowing with boxes of other people's things and I'm still unemployed, disabled, neurodivergent, and queer as fuck. For history, see the linked thread.

If you've got any cash to spare, literally anything helps. Survival has been turned into a subscription service by the greedy assholes of the world, and I cannot afford to pay it on my own. Paypal email still has my deadname attached to it, because I have had *so many more pressing issues* than fighting Paypal, and it's: glowhore [at] gmail [dot] com

Sorry for not using the link method, but I'm an oldhead and don't trust Paypal to not fuck me or you over with stealth-changes to their TOS.

If you'd rather not use Paypal, I do have a wishlist set up on Bastard Bezos's Bargain Basement as well. Previously I stated it was delivering things to the address of my most trusted friends. As of this post, this has been changed to the address I'm currently living. Items will disappear from the list as they're purchased. amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/20F0

No spoilers but the Poker Face series is EXCELLENT and I can not think offhand of a single thing the premiere did not do right.

echoed from Discord; CW: that fucking wizard franchise, doubleplusgoodcrime, frog spoilers 

We figured it out.

The new Hogwards Legacy game is Frog Fractions 4.0. The real game is to go on HRT and hack the servers into oblivion.
