I'll just sit over here.

Hello. I'm a Swedish 27 year old who cares way too much about fiction. I mostly reblog stuff, not so much posting of my own, and this blog is only for myself. I kinda use it as a cyberspace collection box of stuff I like, so yeah. I'm into animation, both western and eastern. Also not really much of an active tumblrer. Well, that's all you need to know.

A massive shoutout to @thereal-sillyguy for making everyone's favorite pebble into a gif! I very literally couldn't have done it without them!

pov: grace tries to explore outside the biodome, only to find himself in a first person horror game in a foggy pitch dark hellscape with many alien rock spiders, scuttling in and out of the darkness. at least they're all friendly!

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

I see your “Rocky swears like a sailor but only in pitches humans can’t hear/refuses to teach Grace what those words mean” and raise you “Rocky swears like a sailor and now has to explain to Grace that ‘bad bad bad’ isn’t actually a sequence you play on your Eridian speech piano in polite company.”

Grace is both horrified and amused to realise that a more accurate translation for what Rocky’s been saying is “shit shit shit”.

I don't watch Wrestling nor Japanese Wrestling but sometimes I come across photos and they do very specific things to my brain I can't identify

[showamagicalgirls]

I agree with this. I don’t see myself ever really getting into Japanese pro wrestling, but the magical girl-influenced characters do intrigue me.

[bookwyrmknight]

Both images above feature the wrestler, Mizuki, and these aren’t even the only dynamic photos of her!

And then there’s her signature move: Whirling Candy 🍭 🍬

This is what I've been trying to explain to people: the problem with AI isn't just what it makes, it's that if you need to validate or change literally anything then you need to be able to check under the hood. The more complex the operation is that you asked it to perform, the more in trouble you're going to be in if you need to explain how it works.

[happy-mokka]

26 years in the coding business. 16 years teaching padawans how to code.

Since the slop came into our life, I keep repeating over and over: a piece of software does not stop to matter after it's release. If you created something that is used "out there", you will need to maintain it and probably extend it. You have to know it by heart for this to work. Ever fixed someone else's legacy code in overtime at night or on weekends? With the customers, your boss and the shareholders breathing down your neck? Learn the basics. Cover your bases. Maybe AI can help you with some snippets if need be, but in the end, you're gonna be held responsible and sit there at the weekends, not captain Claude, or their Copilot or some other Chatbot. It's your ass in the crosshairs...

[odyver]

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Do Eridians know they are different colours. I bet Grace's alien kids love finding out what colour they are. It means absolutely nothing to them but they're like :O :O

[penny-anna]

Some of them think he's making this whole 'colour' thing up to mess with them and try to catch him out by asking again on a different day to prove he's just saying random noises but he's like you are still blue buddy and they're like :O :O

[penny-anna]

Like if we met an alien species who had extra senses & they said that some humans felt spingly and some humans felt spoingly I bet we'd all want to know if we were spingly or spoingly humans

[penny-anna]

#we would create an entire new astrology system about it#spoinglology

Grace, watching the eridian children develop a whole astrology-esque personality typing system based around what colour they are: oh god what have I done

[penny-anna]

anyway ppl mentioning synesthesia in the notes so i suggest to you: Grace explaining to fascinated Eridians that deep sounds are 'dark coloured' and high sounds are 'light coloured'

[penny-anna]

Grace: so red is hot

Rocky: ok

Grace: and blue is cold

Rocky: ok

Rocky: why?

Grace: I. I'm not really sure.

[penny-anna]

#ok thats fire and ice/water obviously

Rocky: so fire is red?

Grace: well no it's usually more orange

Rocky: and ice is blue

Grace: well kinda? it usually looks clear or white

Rocky: this is bullshit

[powersandplanetaries]

Eridian kid: only people who Dr Grace says are grey-tinged can play with our club at recess-

Grace: NOPE nope nope shutting that down immediately.

“Hua Cheng didn’t respond, only bowed his head slightly and gently lifted Xie Lian’s chin so they could touch foreheads.”

- page 250, tgcf volume 5.

[mamawasatesttube]

the thing about media literacy is that understanding why the author chose to specify that the curtains are blue is the same skill set as understanding that the way the author characterizes all black characters as angry or all chinese characters as meek and silent is racist. it is the same skill set as being able to identify when a news source is biased or when someone is feeding you propaganda. the ability to ask "why did this person choose to present this premise in this specific way?" is a critical skill in a world full of misinformation. why are the curtains blue? maybe it's a characterization detail. maybe it's extraneous worldbuilding. why is this character written as being right all the time? maybe you're intended to disagree with them. maybe it doesn't matter. maybe you should still ask why.

If radio wasn't loaded with ads for the dumbest shit possible, I'd prefer radio to everything else.

[mozukumi]

I'm going to use this as a jumping off point to mention the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act.

It's... pretty much what it says on the tin. Some car manufacturers are phasing out AM Radio from their cars so they can replace them with their own streaming services - this bill seeks to make them a mandatory feature.

As somebody whose day job is in radio, I totally agree that the amount of ads and the quality of the ads is ridiculous. Personally, I don't find radio to be an amazing source of political news broadcasting.

But do you know what it is really good at? Providing emergency broadcasts during extreme weather events.

When power and internet is down, radio can be one of the only sources of information, and it's helped provide lifesaving information during these times.

(Plus, at least in my area of the country, emergency weather alerts override and interrupt programming when broadcast - even during pesky ads!)

So if you want to toss your signature in support, you can head on over here.

I want to make it clear I'm not an expert in this legislation or anything - this is just the stuff I know through working in the industry.

[sic-sempervirens]

AM radio can be one of the only available and reliable sources of local/regional news, weather and traffic, emergency or not. Not to mention community broadcasts.

(Plus, have you listened to any podcasts lately? It’s literally six minutes of ads on either end)

[noctumsolis]

Also you can build an AM radio receiver out of little more than scrap. Are you going to? No, almost certainly not, but the point is that the technology is simple, cheap, robust and repairable.

[maarvarq]

Always bear in mind that there is absolutely no legitimate evidence that Luigi was actually the one who killed the insurance company guy.

[theconcealedweapon]

Of course he wasn't. He was at a party with me that day.

[tiny-space-whale]

No but like literally, actually. All bits aside.

He didn't do it.

The cops very clearly planted evidence on him because they had to make an arrest because all eyes were on them and whoever actually did the deed was making them look stupid.

Why would the real killer hero have kept the weapon on his person and traveled two states over while carrying it and a manifesto in his bag, conveniently turning the crime into a federal matter? The same guy whose bag they found in a park, filled with monopoly money? Why did the police turn off their bodycams, take Luigi's stuff, drive a block away, turn their bodycams back on, go back into the restaurant, and then arrest him?

From the moment of his arrest, even left-of-center media has been presuming his guilt without examining anything (e.g. calling him "the killer" instead of "alleged" or "accused") and then when I say he didn't do it, the nearest person chimes in with some quip that tells me they think he did do it but should go free anyway. Don't get me wrong, I would have the same attitude if he had done it. But he didn't. It makes me feel like the only sane person in the world, even among my staunchly leftist friends.
