I like games that you can play again and they're different the next time: such as randomizers, roguelikes, and gender expression! Twitch stream: https://twitch.tv/arborelia

“Fancy autocomplete scares self-declared geniuses into a doomsday cult” could have been a mid TNG episode if it wasn’t real
go to a Wawa and order a grilled ham and swiss sandwich on each ordering screen, with different toppings on each. call that Variations on a Theme of Ham Panini

Since there's an article from “Future Life Institute” being circulated in the media I want to share this article explaining some of the very frightening ideas behind “longtermism” and their leaders

Black people are still there.🤷🏿♂️
There's a thing where people are OK using a thing when it only hurts Black folk, but when it starts hurting non-Black folk too, they're like "How could you?!" and expect Black folk to stop it ASAP.
Almost every system in the US that Black folk engage with is already genocidally hostile against us. The US education system, criminal justice system, hospitals, etc.
More folk try to get Black folk to stop using Twitter, than try to make Mastodon welcoming.
a Mystery Mystery randomizer run, and if I have time afterward, continuing Super Lesbian Animal RPG

can we talk about how chatgpt fabricates idyllic cishet families right out of the town in Edward Scissorhands? For both myself and a friend, neither of whom have kids, it decided we each had a heterosexual spouse and 2 kids.
I got a lovely gift of Super Lesbian Animal RPG, the game whose title you can't put as your stream title on Twitch, so now I'm trying it out for the first time! https://twitch.tv/arborelia

A bonus stream of #silverballcentury where I play #pinball tables from before 1989 that I missed, or that deserve to be seen again

It’s just really difficult to get excited about generative language models when you believe things like “there is such a thing as the truth and it matters”.
I don’t feel like that’s an unreasonable position.

For US trans folks, ProPublica is looking at barriers to gender affirming care. (These are the investigative big guns, so people with good documentation this goes double for you.)
