I don't understand how this is even a defence in the age of drone warfare.

[graham-folger]

Or even like... Cannon warfare.

[quasi-normalcy]

Yeah, the Ottomans could have taken this in the fourteenth century.

It's because it's not meant to go up against the government. It's made to survive a race war or keep people out after economic collapse. It's a castle for racist, isolationist assholes who think they're important enough to be targets if society falls apart.

[vaspider]

... right... and it's still not really gonna do shit.

"Coca-Cola made an AI ad!"

"McDonald's releases AI Christmas commercial!!"

Don't care didn't ask plus here's a beautifully animated ad for a French supermarket that was made by actual artists

If you haven't heard, the em dash has been getting a lot of attention lately…

Because it was trained on pirated work—including freely accessible online writing (like fanfic, academic texts)—ChatGPT picked up patterns and quirks native to human writing.

Including (sigh) the em dash.

There are other victims here (RIP tapestry and delve 🫠), but the appropriation of the em dash—a punctuation mark beloved by writers everywhere—feels especially personal.

A kind of low-grade panic is ensuing. Writers who once memed their own em dash overuse—the greatest punctuation mark ever to grace the control-freak’s lexicon, frankly—are suddenly backing away to avoid accusations.

No. More. We have centuries of dash-abusing writers behind us. We will not sit quietly while AI repurposes our beloved stilted aside—or the just-one-more clarification the sentence demands—or the dramatic pause your comma could never—etc.

You don’t write like AI—AI writes like you.

Defend the em dash.

(Feel free to download/share/stick it where it matters!)

Fun how the bystander effect was coined to cover up how cops are bigoted cowards who let a queer person die and stockholm syndrome was coined to cover that the cops handled a hostage situation so badly the hostages trusted their captors more than the cops.

idk what white mcrblr did this time but i’m taking it as a sign i should get serious about that server for mcr fans of color. so. just to gauge interest:

would you, nonwhite mcr fan reading this, join a mcr discord server specifically for poc

yes

maybe

no

Remaining time: 5 days 15 hours

no white people button but if you wanted to reblog this for reach that would be cool

also if anyone would be potentially willing or interested in helping me moderate such a server, even if you don’t have any experience doing so, please hmu

THIS SATURDAY, 1 August 2026, I am doing a panel at Virtual DashCon 2!

The slot is at 10am - 11:30am EDT

Part of my panel will involve answering YOUR questions and showing specimens from the collections of the Natural History Museum Denmark.

So please send me your burning questions around amphibians (especially frogs), reptiles, fieldwork, herpetology, science, natural history museums, and everything beyond! Tell me which specimens from the collection you might want to see!

Also if you don't have a VirtualDash ticket yet you can one here!

Inclusive language is for everyone!!

Their boyfriend is their partner why is this hard to understand

[korben600]

Also, “partner” is just a good word? It implies an equal relationship where both of your work together in pursuit of something, whether that be life goals or just having fun together.

It’s a good word. People should use it more.

[transgender-rex]

[rosslynpaladin]

also once you're not like twentysomething any more, Boyfriend/Girlfriend sounds... kinda juvenile? Or it does to some of us. Besides Partner is gender neutral and relationship-type-neutral: Your Partner might be your aromantic asexual qpr life mate you spend your life with, or your heterosexual alloromantic Straight spouse of several years, or one of multiple partners you have and the one you happened to bring as your 'plus one', or anything else. You don't have to explain your sexuality or your personal relationship with the word Partner.

Partner is a perfect term, IMHO

Slow train journeys in rural England sure are an experience. You're going ten miles and it takes a day and a half because it stops at every lamp-post and the announcement says "The next station stop is Ferretley" or something and you think "I didn't know that was a place" and you get there and it isn't

[baddywronglegs]

Last stop was literally a picket fence, enough chopped wood to build another picket fence and, briefly, a train.

[baddywronglegs]

My guy Ferretby was barely builded here

[baddywronglegs]

Two clarifications:

Ferretby's name has been changed to protect the identities of it and its resident(s)

I specify slow trains to distinguish from the other two types of train in England: Delayed and Cancelled

this went in a direction
