Anyway, sometimes my brain creates really sad scenarios, and I play out my reactions to these scenarios, and it makes me really upset, but it's like I'm trying to prepare myself for every possibility even though it's both impossible and destructive.

Gothic is getting a remake! 😮

A playable teaser has already been released. And I confirm it will have gamepad support.

Here’s a screenshot from my Steam Deck!

My opinion of Iran attacking Israel is I'm not a goddamn mideast expert and no one should listen to me.

I was pregnant with twins and bedridden during the entire O.J. trial. I watched every minute of it. Punditry became a thing since there was wall to wall, never ending coverage. In my mind, it was the beginning of the end for cable news.

I'm going to tell people "The Three Body Problem" is a harem anime.

Apparently the NCAA tournament is bringing out the racists. This is the second major incident on this topic (on top of the pickup-truck-intimidation-and-racial-epithets in Idaho last week). Also, this is an elected official.

If you see a technology and think "divorced dads who won't go to therapy will love this," then its a bad idea.

I'm gonna read the Dune books about the Butlerian Jihad. But I'm busy trying to fix my Roomba, which is hard because all the search results are clogged with AI spam.

Tired of the SF Downtown is dying stories when (1) downtown has always been dead (2) it was planned that way (3) most of the businesses complaining about crime and poor sales are simply not relevant (4) no SF resident goes downtown for fun or voluntarily (even me, and I'm only a mile away)

It's so easy to blame homeless people, when imho it's much clearer to blame poor planning and poor business people for most of it

There’s a lot to chew on in this short article (ht @ajsadauskas):
https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20240214-ai-recruiting-hiring-software-bias-discrimination

“An AI resume screener…trained on CVs of employees already at the firm” gave candidates extra marks if they listed male-associated sports, and downgraded female-associated sports.

Bias like this is enraging, but completely unsurprising to anybody who knows half a thing about how machine learning works. Which apparently doesn’t include a lot of execs and HR folks.

I'm sure there are plenty of you who are blocking spam direct messages as fast as they can come in.

There's a setting in your notification preferences where you can block any direct message that's not coming from someone you follow. You'll also probably need to change your notifications to go off only if you get mentioned by someone you follow or someone who follows you.

Whatever is happening is probably not so much a spam wave as it is an attempt to undermine the Fediverse. For that reason, it may be better to not be so fast to block as blocking entire domains creates more fragmentation of the Fediverse and creates incentive for bad actors to sink an instance they don't like by opening up an account on that instance to harass already irritated people and create pressure for admins to block that domain.

I'll change my notifications and DMs back after the wave passes.

I think we can obviously say that the press isn't covering Trump's obviously pathological and declining mental state is:

1. They are used to the "Dems fail" narrative despite, well . . . everything.
2. They're afraid he'll yell at them.

I suggest we do a lot more yelling at the press.

This California Senate debate is pretty interesting and I’m sure whichever Democrat ends up winning will do an excellent job. Steve Garvey, however, has so far shared that government shouldn’t administer health care (no Medicare votes from him then) and that he thinks most things can be solved by funding the police more.

Also, he has unreleased policy plans coming “tomorrow”. LOL.

And he’s boring AF.

Santos not running again (if he's not lying) isn't surprising. It might even be a deal to cover his backside.

I've been working at home for 33 years effective this week.

I am sad to learn that I am such an abject failure.

This feels like a conversation between Team Fortress 2 characters.

<Scout> "I dunno why people go on about 'biological women!'"
<Soldier> "ALL WOMEN ARE BEAUTIFUL! Biological! Chemical! Nuclear!"
<Spy> "I feel you both don't understand the situation, yet understand it better than many."
