I feel like one problem is that AI trained on real people. So I find it hard to believe that real people will never sound like AI. I think these sorts of analyzing tools can be useful, but shouldn’t be the sole source of evidence that something is generated.
CBS is reporting cancer as the cause of death. Just dropping an update.

I think part of the trick is more just growing what already grows well in your area. I have a cherry tomato plant that I didn’t buy seeds for—I just tossed a few old tomatoes in the garden and it popped up subsisting off excess water from the lawn sprinklers. These last couple of months I’ve been able to step out every morning and pick a few to go with my breakfast. I haven’t had to spray for bugs because the local lizards keep them clear. I think more passive gardens like that might be the way to go.
Making a note to myself to review bomb later kthx.
I’ve been playing that and loving it! Is…is it not kid friendly? A lot of the gameplay… seems just cute and simple… Ohno. Anxious now that it might have a dark af ending o-o Guess I’ll see.
I honestly didn’t know the worth of copper had gone up so much.
Ya know. When I was a kid, I was horrified reading a reveal in a book where the queen was actually a corpse that was being puppeted around to hold off a succession war.
Every once in a while I think about it again
I feel like it’s a potential grey area, but reading the article, it seems like the line was walked well. I wouldn’t want someone pulling out a “church of Satan” card outta someone’s wallet and giving the death penalty for it, but it looks like that isn’t what was going on here. This seems based on art and writings that indulge in violence and violation of consent. As with Christians,“freedom of religion” shouldn’t be used to excuse glorifying harm to others. (Even if our society often does excuse Christians. Still shouldn’t.)
I don’t know for sure if there’s more of one than the other, but I will say that ftm folks tend to hang out in different communities than here and Reddit. I find them on tumblr and Bluesky mostly, and especially art communities. I think because those communities are pretty friendly to afab folks exploring other sexualities and expressions, so it feels safe to come out as ftm there. Those communities are generally very supportive and open, I see binder safety advice, passing tips, or just general encouragement roll onto my feed completely unsolicited, and I just follow people for art.
Took me a bit to find anything on these guys other than reposts of this same picture, I wasn’t sure they’re real. The scientific name is reported wrong in some places, it should be Panchlora kozaneki. In case anyone wants to look them up.
I feel like, considering how much Trump keeps stabbing the NPS workers in the knee, at least some of them might.
They did move the National Forest Service headquarters to Utah though. And I guess they “do things differently” around there
It’s comforting to them. It stokes their ego. It’s a way to convince themselves that they don’t need to change. They get to deflect criticism and chill in their happy bubble where they’re perfect. Most importantly, it’s a hall pass to ignore people who are trying to get them to change. At least for a little while.
I ran into this about a year ago.
The company is Matthews Environmental Services. There was a DHS convention with several companies in 2025, including the ones that sold the pop-up concentration camps. Whether or not Matthews received a contract or not, I don’t know, but they were listed on the convention site. They advertised turning biowaste into fuel—but if you look into them more you can find a YouTube video of them advertising cremation and perfect extraction of valuable medical devices and other metals from grandma’s body. It’s also worth mentioning that Curtis Yarvin promoted doing exactly this sort of thing with undesirables, and there are those who seem to venerate him even now.
I think we’d know if anything was happening at scale, but every time a detainee goes missing, I admit I do wonder.
This is amazing. I was aware it could happen in other species, I suspected it could happen in humans, but this is the first time I’ve read an article that confirms it.
Been there. Not the Trump voter part, but the spending-hours-days-weeks-months- down-a-rabbit-hole. Hope he drinks plenty of water and takes care.
The spring comment is valid.
From what I understand, household gods were very common — personal traditions about a small god that perhaps your family worshipped for generations and had a small shrine to for protection. Some of these were picked up and developed into more general purposes for a larger audience.
The Romans in particular also had a habit of picking up local deities for a larger pantheon, in these cases less of choosing gods, it was more like reducing some gods with very elaborate lore down to just a few specific traits. Though of course some gods were invented by storytellers on the spot and picked up.
Why. Whyyy. Why is this man at the wheel??
I mean I know why, it’s because no one told gramps he’s too senile to drive, but why are we sitting in the back seat??
I feel like it’s significantly easier to track the sale of certain equipment than trying to prevent the knowledge from getting around.
