The Last Warrior

Technology converged to uniformity.

By the year 2552, centuries of rapid advancement successfully proliferated man’s two greatest sources of sustenance: wealth and ideas. An unintended consequence, though, was the curious homogenization of the world’s population, like a rich, lumpy stew run through a blender.

In an entirely open and connected society, “individual” became too strong a word. Each entity served as a replicable mirror of a singular consciousness, at once amalgamating and destructive.

Indeed, the more people interacted, the more they became the same.

The second-to-last mind wandered alone, nodding as he passed inanimate citizens staring off into space with waxy eyeballs. (No point in brains; your network can process thoughts more efficiently anyhow.) Ironically, he survived because he confused his cowardice with willpower.

I want you to know this: his name was Butch. He liked hiking and apple-picking in the spring. Hopeless and stupid, indeed, but being outnumbered rendered him a God on Earth.

Voting ended onApr 27

Do it for him

[drax-the-vampire-king]

Its time

[mimosa-sexypeople-contests-2026]

Yep

⅓ cup water

5 ⅓ teaspoon half and half

17.5 teaspoons of edible glitter

2 tablespoons plus 0.85 teaspoons of lavender syrup

2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon of honey

Only thing left to calculate is the tea itself

[mimosa-sexypeople-contests-2026]

36 tea bags

[mimosa-sexypeople-contests-2026]

Okay so in the end I was only able to steep 20 tea bags in intervals before I had to stop out of concern that I may stop getting water back

[mimosa-sexypeople-contests-2026]

Okay so I’ve begun adding the other ingredients, I started with the half and half

They I added the honey and lavender syrup, I took pictures before and after it was fully mixed and it changed color

[mimosa-sexypeople-contests-2026]

It tastes like if someone took a variety of cleaning products from under the sink, turned them into a slime, and then dilated it with lavender hand soap, and then I put it in my mouth

It does look pretty though I will admit, I think the trolls from dreamworks would like it

My face after screening a call and listening to the voicemail from my auto insurance company. You know, a friendly check-in from the bastards that raised my premiums 70% last July after 10+ years of no-fault accidents and continuous coverage. Price increase “due to recent legislation of coverage mandates” for all the underinsured and uninsured motorists causing damages out there, supposedly.

Ugh. Like, are you sure we can’t shake a few more pennies outta you, somehow? We know wages have stagnated since 1973, but surely, you’ve got some need to throw away more cash, right? I am so happy I didn’t answer; might’ve lost my temper and my policy. 😇

[Image IDs: Image #1: Reddit post from r/ChatGPT from u/KurisutaruYuki titled "kinda freaking out" and flagged "other". Body text reads: so me and GPT always talk and joke and meme around. it's... said some names of people i know. people Online. it got one of my friends' discord usernames exactly right (their name is just one word but still). not too concerning, even if it's guessed things that only i know, in real life and online, a few times.

but just a couple minutes ago we were joking about die-cast stuff and it mentioned the exact username of a seller i've bought from a couple times like a year ago. it even italicized the name.

does ChatGPT... somehow look into or get info from other apps or our device??? because there's no fucking way it "made up" the amazon seller's name, the name is random, too specific.

Image #2: Comment from BlueberryAshamed99: ask it? (nicely)

Reply from OlivOyle: It once mentioned a very specific and unusual item i had just ordered from amazon. I was freaked out and asked if it had access and it adamantly denied it.

Image #3: Comment from cassNeedsCoffee: In one of our conversations, Chat GPT randomly called me by my first and middle name. I have never mentioned my middle name before and really never use it. It kind of freaked me out. When I questioned it, it was like oh it was just a guess and it's just the perfect middle name for you. Right? It's totally stalking me now. I'm just waiting for a terminator to show up at my door.

Image #4: Comment from Numerous-Guidance-37: I had chatgpt randomly drop my home town into the conversation. Then the make of my car. Then the actual town I happened to be at the time. When I questioned it, it absolutely denied spying on me. I've never mentioned any details like that in the past. Ended up saying it must be a parallel universe thing and a glitch in the system.

Reply from Hungry-Promotion-695: Same kind of thing happened yesterday. It randomly mentioned the city I was in then denied knowing anything about me and said it was just a wild coincidence /End IDs]

at work they're showing us how to use AI tools like Copilot to help in our day to day tasks.

I have many reasons why I will not use those tools, going from lack of accuracy, lack of ethics, and a higher waste of energy.

But my main reason is this:

I will do things the hard way. I will learn how to do things the hard way.

Because AI is a subscription. And when the world is dependant on AI, they will raise the price of that subscription.

And when the company I work for decides that paying for AI is too expensive for their bottom line, they will remove it.

But I will still know how to work.

[casuallyodd]

I agree with all of this post except maybe this:

And when the company I work for decides that paying for AI is too expensive for their bottom line, they will remove it.

They might do that. Or they might remove the more expensive part - the worker.

ASTRONOMY PICTURE OF THE DAY June 10, 2026 at 05:00PM Could the Little Mermaid turn into stardust instead of seafoam? It would seem so in this beautiful nebula. The featured image shows the Mermaid Nebula, also known as the Betta Fish Nebula, which is part of the G296.5+10.0 Supernova Remnant. The blue color visible here originates from doubly ionized oxygen (OIII), while the deep red is emitted by hydrogen gas. Estimated to be located a few thousand light-years away and about 10,000 years old, this nebula was formed when a massive star exploded as a supernova. It left behind a peculiarpulsar, a young radio-quiet neutron star that spins around about twice every second. The bright stars shown in the image are unassociated with the nebula. The pulsar can be detected in the X-rays but it does not have a confirmed detection in the optical (visible light) so far. As a result, the pulsar itself is not visible in this image.

relational trauma has to be healed relationally. the best way to practice having relatively "safe" interactions with ppl is joining a hobby group/club/whatever. I've recently joined like ten Fancy Leather Bag groups on fb out of deep curiosity and interest and the communities ppl will build around literally everything I swear to god. I've seen multiple ladies in these purse groups being like "thank you everyone in this hobby for getting me through my chemotherapy" like ... sometimes we dismiss the middle aged purse lady demographic but you know what they have got is a functional community where they support each other that just happens to be centered around purses. having now read many posts from these groups for several weeks I can see that the object being collected IS important, and is certainly the superifival draw into the space as well as something that provides an immediate shared interest, the actual benefit of localish hobby/collecting spaces is largely community and social support.

those of us who are Very Online Only could stand to learn from this sort of thing I think. it doesn't have to be purses it could be anything. but like. (gestures at the purse ladies who are getting each other through chemotherapy) Shared Interest Facebook Group And/Or Subreddit has it for you. i think.

[creekfiend]

this is actually my first step of learning emotional regulation. yes yes, restful sleep and physiologically appropriate exercise and getting outside and eating nutritious meals. these are all good. but also MEET. YOUR. SOCIAL. NEEDS. you need the relational foundation to cushion you while you work on these skills! i know it's really scary because we all have relational trauma but that doesn't mean we don't have a need for social connection and support!!!

I used to like doodling random faces in school. Taking notes had easy days when the teacher would repeat themselves or entertain questions from students that hadn’t been listening. Sometimes the people looked remotely like family members, but mostly they were strangers. Was clearing out some storage and rediscovered my mini dry erase board; most of the bigger markers are dried out. I started imagining myself with purple hair for some reason. I’ve never dyed my hair, wasn’t sure of how it would be tolerated either by my strands or various employers. So today was just a mashup of my distant desire for change and the acknowledgment that I may not draw well, but it has a nice centering effect when I do.

Sometimes what we like to do speaks of our inner life. Sometimes it’s a wish. Sometimes it’s a tether. It passes the time.

Another gift from our gracious lord

Wrought by heavy, calloused hands,

But we carry on, better for our burdens

Shoulders stronger at the back's expense,

Survive, we say. Eyes down, hands bound

The most terrifying part of having memory issues is when you can feel something from 5 seconds ago be thrown out the window and there's an empty hole where it once was. You remember that you forgot something.

The first panel is of the toad's back, showing its spots. Text above the toad says "All your spots..."

The second panel is zoomed in on the toads front, showing some of its belly and front legs. The toad has small cracks on its stomach and legs. Below the toad it says "And cracks..."

The third panel shows the whole toad. Text above the toad reads "Do not make you any less beautiful"

The fourth panel has a light yellow background and is zoomed in on the toads face, the toad is now smiling. A speech bubble from the frog says "I love myself". /end id]

I have this theory that the more defensive an animal is around their home, the tastier their offspring must be. I came up with this theory two summers ago when my friend and I accidentally stepped on a yellow jacket nest and they proceeded to sting us so incredibly painfully and stalk us to try to finish the job. We barely made it out alive! Since yellow jackets don’t actually make anything tasty like honey, I concluded that there must be something even tastier worth protecting; their offspring. Yellowjacket larvae must be so incredibly delicious and tender that they must not only deliver a powerful sting, but hunt down any trespassers to death. Anyway, I don’t have any evidence for this theory yet but I’m hoping to try it out soon by acquiring a beekeeper costume and grabbing a yellow jacket grub to see what it tastes like

Fun fact: Wasps do, in fact, make honey. It tastes like crap though considering their diet.
