Oh shit there's the snow. Glad I didn't go for groceries after work #yxe #skstorm

Fell into an unexpected handyman project. The weather change has caused the door jamb to our garage to shift and it no longer closes (!)

Just using the deadbolt as a workaround is the idea, but it seems to have rust or debris in it and the key won't go in. So soaking that with some CLR to see if that helps

Especially, ESPECIALLY when you have a streamlined Mob Attack Tool like this https://github.com/daft-develop/mob-attack-tool

What's your threshold where you switch from running combat by the rules to just abstracting? Cause I'm looking at about 160 participants and thinking this is gonna be fun. #dnd #ttrpg

Today:

️ weekend's over. Get caffeinated, idiot
Boy to school
Pickle to school
️ wife to clinic
me to work
cooking something giod from our meal kit
and running #Ravenloft #DnD tonight!

@egoldblatt I think we can be better and smarter than that particular interpetation of Batman

This is why you see zero effort memes and political cartoons, generated by "AI" tools by fascist propaganda peddlers, and they do so in the style of cartoonists who would never in their right mind have drawn them. For those who think these are authentic it can confuse the legacy of well known artists, or give the illusion of at the very least some sort of human sentiment when in reality it does not have humans putting forth the effort to create it. If you care about something, you put the time and effort into its creation.

So! When you see people using these tools even casually, offloading their own human cognition and potential for talent to a machine that's meant to spit out the mathematical average of all the stolen works its ingested to date, you mock and tear them down early and often.

"AI art" is the tool of the enemy. We don't need it, we don't use it.

"AI art" is a tool of fascism. But what does that mean?

Anyone who does creative work, artists, writers, musicians, they all develop the parts of their personality that's responsible for empathy and understanding people outside of themselves. You learn how to care about others. Art is kryptonite to fascist movements because artists by nature tend to be antifascist and use their mediums to further their message.

Free expression is hard to crack down on in the early stages, and pro-fascist artists are few and far between. Sure you'll have a few but they're eternally conscious of the fact that their message is unpopular on a human level. And so, to create propaganda and fascist content at scale, they turn to machine generated algorhytms that won't question the message and dutifully churn out the stuff that their lever pullers don't have the talent to make for themselves.

I want a finance management app like Mint or Pocketsmith that:

a) isn't beholden to big tech or US owned data siphons
b) can integrate with and display ransactions right on your preexisting calendar app
c) (optional but very fun) visually animates transactions and account changes. I wanna see my wallet go Om Nom Nom when I get paid

Toilet repair was quick and easy. Had a round of prep and now cooking an early dinner cause we HONGRY
