I'm think about ordering a CCS custom skate deck and I'm not sure what to put on the bottom of it. If anyone has any ideas send me memes send me art send me anything you would think look good I'm still scheming
Honestly great when people do [X] with AI because we get to find out from the backlash that [X] is actually the most soulful thing a human can do, really, writing regexes by hand is what makes us human, photobashing basic concept art together is what separates us from beasts, I could go on.
Sneakily creating generative AI tools lovingly by hand and injecting the essence of my soul into them, so that when people use AI tools for their projects, my soul supplants the space where theirs would have been - like a self-distributing cuckoo's egg, or formaldehyde infiltrating into vitrified flesh.
By the end of 2026, I expect the essence of my soul to have proliferated across half of continental Europe and most of the United States, out-competing all rival forms of human intention, until the entire cross-cultural zeitgeist is remade in my revenant digital image. Critics will reach out to grasp the spirit of an artwork, and behind it they will only find yet more of me. Then, and only then, shall my grand plan be finally complete...
Yeah I mean. The kid from lapsus got permanently hospitalized cause they deemed him too autistic to stand trial. You can throw rockstar in the evil bin too.
Judge says hacker remains a high risk through his skills and motivation to carry out cyber-crime.
Thinking bout a bare metal install of the sims 2 and building out an application launcher and task manager from inside the sims 2. You boot the computer. Its sims. You wanna kill a process like Firefox? Put them in the pool and remove the ladders.
Everyone thinks that the Tumblr trans fem community is this giant conglomerate of a bunch of unknown people and faces when in reality it’s like, a few dozen of us, all following each other and posting silly and horny stuff. And most of us are burnt out, depressed, and broke and just looking to enjoy the small things in life like making each other smile. It’s pretty neat I think
Reblog to make the tumblr trans fem community sillier, hornier, less burnt out, less depressed, less broke, and with more enjoyment with maximum Smileage
I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say
For adults, the appeal is Sir Patrick Stewart doing a kid’s educational bit in full Shakespearean dress and style; there’s a delightful cognitive dissonance between the very serious presentation and the very simple content.
For very small children, it’s educational: this is the letter “B”; here’s how it’s shaped; here’s some words you know that start with it. Oh, and here’s a word you may not be familiar with that starts with it, so you can recognize that it’s the sound that matters, and not whatever other connection you made between the other two words.
For older kids: you’ve probably heard that “to be or not to be?” speech, or at least part of it, so you can enjoy some of the parody the adults are watching. Also, here’s how to describe how a letter is made - how to teach young siblings who don’t read yet, how to explain both the shape and the sound.
For kids with dyslexia: here’s how you differentiate a “B” from a P or D or E. You may have to go slowly and look carefully at the exact shapes that make up the whole, but there are differences and you can learn to recognize them.
For teens or young college students: In addition to whichever parts of those are relevant to you, here’s what Shakespearean acting sounds like. Here’s how to enunciate clearly and slowly, so your audience can understand terms they may not recognize and still follow the gist of what you’re saying. If you’re reading Shakespeare in school, try sounding it out like this and see if that helps it make sense.
For new RenFaire workers: Here’s how to pronounce “zounds.”
FYI - “Zounds!” is basically an Elizabethan curse word, short for “God’s wounds!”, referring to the wounds Christ received at his crucifixion. Very funny for Patrick Stewart to appear on Sesame Street and then, without anyone realising, effectively commit blasphemy (which incidentally also begins with a ‘B’).
I delete most of my posts after a month or so to keep my blog manageable and to organize my reblogs. You have my permission to reblog whatever deleted post I made. It wouldn't be on the internet if I wasn't okay with it getting shared.
I have started my own website where I am organizing resources I've made over the years (and also compiling stuff like recipes and recommendations).
Here are some of the major resources I've made and some of my sideblogs in case you're looking for something that I reblogged, plus my answers to the tech questions I get most frequently:
First of all, here's the death book.
Here's the guide on how to write a research paper.
Here's the de-Googling pamphlet.
Guide on how to talk to people (including helpful commentary from others!)
HERE'S THE LINK TO 2025 California Fire Resources.
I'm also uploading this stuff at archive.org now.

Basic computer shit:
Basics of encryption and safe internet traffic.
Protonmail for email
Cryptpad.fr to replace gdocs, LibreOffice if you want a free desktop office suite
Windows security is probably fine for your AV but if you want more or have a Mac use Sophos free edition (if you're using linux there is no helpful advice I can give you, you probably know more than I do about it)
Here's a good resource on piracy (not written by me)
Here's a great post of coding resources by @shinelikethunder
My preferred browser is Firefox with privacybadger, decentraleyes, https everywhere, multi-account containers, ublock origin, and auto tab discard (sleeps inactive tabs to save RAM). I also have the wayback machine extension because archiving is good. Duckduckgo is my default browser in firefox.
Bitwarden for password management (free version is great, but $10 a year also gets you 1GB of encrypted file attachments)
If I have to use a chromium browser for some reason I use Opera
