Since I'm frequently confused with @Jonnybones, I made a public PSA with my friend @betweenpictures explaining how I'm not the UFC fighter, and how I train for UFC events:

With 3d gradient texturing you dont need heavy texture maps to get rich details
By stretching the UVs across a tiny color gradient, geometry does all the heavy lifting
It works similarly to a trim sheet, but built entirely for mobile optimization

i mean, just impeachment would've been okay with me... seems a little extreme

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

Musk buying Twitter, as @AdamSerwer points out, lured conservatives into the trap of thinking that X is real life - and they paid for it.

What happens if you say the c-word in public, by country

Alan is a true hero for always being the one to share the bad news

This kid is defying gravity.

[Scott Lyons 🔞 @ScottLyonsPinup]

People believing the Ellison spin about box office performance issues while they still make sure to sneak in some shit about “capturing the zeitgeist”, “cultural impact”, and “values to believe in” just tells me a lot of you are very very bad at pinging right wing dog whistles

A hot new bombshell has entered The Reef 🦈

We are thrilled to welcome the fin-tastic Indo-Pacific leopard shark Suni into our Reef habitat! Fun fact: Suni was born at the @mnzoo in 2024, and she was named after Minnesota native and gold medal gymnast Suni Lee! 🤸‍♀️ (1/3)

[Track Trans Hate @TrackTransHate]

Where does the money for anti-trans organizations come from? Nine funders, five recipients, one picture. Most of it moves through donor-advised funds, so the original donors stay hidden.

You should actively try to be this person for others every day

Saw The Devils restoration in theatres last night and when this scene happened the guy behind me blurted out “Homer Simpson”

Next week, for the first time in human history, a human-made object will reach a distance of one light-day from Earth.

We're inviting the world to celebrate Voyager 1's major milestone with us. https://t.co/0uAIREiUwZ

RIP Stacy Keach. While he's most known for far more famous (and popular) films, one of my fav guilty pleasures he was in was "Escape from L.A." (as Commander Mac Malloy).

Which I just realized was set 13 years in the past now. ;)

-Indie dev encounters issues at the end of their development cycle
-indie dev attempts to troubleshoot said issues
-indie dev consults the MANUFACTURER of their game engine, THEY can't solve their issues
-as a last-ditch effort to avoid shipping a game with a glitch they can't iron out, they spitball with an LLM
-surprisingly, LLM assists in workarounds that fix said issues
-despite not needing to disclose (per steam TOS), the dev is honest about their disclosure when nominated for awards to be transparent.

I would say House House did everything right. An LLM was used to solve problems humans could not. It didnt generate assets. It didnt infringe on the creative process.

I hate what AI, and particularly GenAI has done to the gaming industry, but this is a stupid fucking hill to die on. This isn't vibe coding. This isn't slop. This is what AI was SUPPOSED to do in industry.

Pick the right battles, people.

Laura Palmer. Huge fan.

The ACTUAL machine intelligences are going to be so mad they didn't get to experience the internet before it sucked

[MK, Ultra victim @MKaylaUltra]

I have spent the last few weeks building this website to track the influence and funding network of anti-trans organizations and influencers. Very much appreciate anyone who likes/follows/shares <3
