Four open source developers, three interactive fiction hackers, two occasional Twitch users, and just some gal in a pear tree.

ChatGPT's moderation system is unhinged today.

All visual depiction is a policy violation. Great job, ChatGPT.

@ddayen Her catalog was valued at $300 million or more when it was sold to Shamrock in 2020.
Billboard claims she paid $360 million for the rights now.
Accounting for inflation, that means the price did go down, right? What am I missing?

Hey @TwitchSupport, is there a reason you deleted my MOST VIEWED highlights before deleting highlights with literally 0 views?
Considering that you basically said you’d be doing the literal opposite?

@thejobchick Pretty sure that 5 day deadline is illegal under ADEA/OWBPA for employees over 40.

@dieworkwear @feederofcats Are these occasions too casual for a tuxedo?

[Tara Claus @taradinoc]

people are like "the goals and values that make me myself are important and i'd feel bad if something got in the way of achieving them, surely the brain slugs have no way to alter that and becoming a host to one would feel like a lifetime of disappointment and frustration"

[Tim is GONE FROM VIBECAMP 😞 @MasterTimBlais]

people are like "sex is the most amazing thing ever, surely my evolutionary programming includes no further commensurate rewards for continuing the reproductive path and having kids will seem to me strictly as a burden"

@LeftwaffenWatch @VoterScumbag @knifedog13 @devahaz I'd love to read more about this. Do you have a link to a paper describing this serious endocrine damage caused by estrogen?

[Tara Claus @taradinoc]

@Skitzs_ @VoterScumbag @knifedog13 @devahaz Nah, people who don't want to grow tits aren't taking estrogen in the first place. I was just correcting some misinformation about reversibility.

[Tara Claus @taradinoc]

@VoterScumbag @knifedog13 @devahaz As I understand it, genital changes are caused by suppressing testosterone, not by adding estrogen. People who want to avoid those changes while taking estrogen typically just use topical testosterone gel.

[Tara Claus @taradinoc]

@VoterScumbag @Shannon31130795 @knifedog13 @devahaz If you've got evidence that cognitive behavioral therapy is effective treatment for gender dysphoria, please do share it.

You're not the first to have this idea, but medical transition only became the recommended course of treatment because it turned out therapy didn't work.

@wastetime @tracewoodgrains "Today we induct these artists into the Hip Hop Hall of Fame: Warren G, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, and... *Mister* Dre."

You don't think that'd come across as rude? I'm pretty sure most people would see it that way.
