@lauren Still, I'll take it over the other 3 :) Least bad of the 4.

Upon finding out 99% of NYU protesters were indeed students, Republican Councilwoman Vickie Paladino decided they all have to die.

It feels like Democrats should stop helping these people in their war on students and higher education?

@gwynnion In a normal world, her constituents would run her out of office on a rail.

When I see AI concept art from a vendor my immediate thoughts are, in this order:

  1. "Yuck"
  2. "Yeah but can you actually do that in shots?"
  3. "What happens when the directors/EPs ask for noodley changes?"

Good coverage of the campus protests, of course from TPM

Did you know that USDA scenes can be opened in a text editor? So if you need to, say, replace 300 instances of a particular 3D model, you can just do a big find & replace and it totally works?

@dan Text editable scenefiles are your friend.

@joesteel @dan Text editable Nuke scripts have saved my bacon on more than one occasion over the years. I wish every piece of software had an ascii output version

@joesteel @dan ABSOLUTELY!

First LinkedIn catfishing attempts, and they all came in on the same day. Weird.

@tptigger I'm not even sure how they could directly send me messages with no connection to me. It's all weird over there.

Always enough cops to arrest protestors, never enough to protect them.

Unless they’re like the cops.

Remember UCPD pepper spraying sitting docile Occupy protesters? I sure do.

I hope Avery Brooks knows how appreciated he is by fans.

@paninid @deathkitten I don't know. Maybe he just is a private guy who doesn't want to to conventions and stuff. I just hope he realizes how many people think he's done real good with his portrayal of Sisko.

Trying to get through the audiobook of "Titus Groan."

Someone told me a lot of the Locked Tomb series owed a debt to the Gormenghast Trilogy.

And I know it's on some 100 best fantasy books of all time, but it's not doing it for me. What am I missing?

@virtualbri@mastodon.online avatar

@GramrgednAngel I'm not even finding it bad, just unengaging.

I'm totally willing to listen to why people might love it; sometimes things just aren't for me. :)

virtualbri,
@virtualbri@mastodon.online avatar

@CStamp Sometimes for books that's definitely the case, but I actually like the performer quite a bit. I just have no connection to any character at all, and the settting hasn't grabbed me.

I'm still going to give it a bit; it's not bad or immediately rejectable. :)

@virtualbri@mastodon.online avatar

@CStamp I'm dying for the last Locked Tomb book to come out, I think, this year.

virtualbri,
@virtualbri@mastodon.online avatar

@CStamp That's it but it's a quad, with Alecto the Ninth due this year.

virtualbri,
@virtualbri@mastodon.online avatar

@CStamp Yeah, what I read is that Nona the Ninth was an introduction that became too big and then a book of its own.

But, yeah, should be updated.

"Pro-Israel counter-protesters attempt to storm encampment, sparking violence" See, even students can get this right.

"There has been a minimal police presence on campus despite multiple events of counter-protesters antagonizing the encampment since Thursday."

@artemis Yep.

@virtualbri@mastodon.online avatar

If a group shows up specifically to attack other in the middle of the night, it's not a "clash of protestors", it's an unprovoked attack.

Journalists should cover accordingly. Because words matter
