Even funnier: Cardinal Biagio da Cesena was pissed about all the nude people and instead of covering them Michelangelo painted the cardinal’s face as a demon with donkey ears and a snake biting his dick in The Last Judgment. Michelangelo was a wonderfully petty person.

Here’s what I’m thinking about on this fine evening: Ketterdam has a HUGE CANAL SYSTEM that runs pretty much through the entire city and I, somehow, completely missed that.

Here’s the Ketterdam map, right? We know her. We love her.

BUT, let’s zoom in a little:

You can see very clearly here that those thicker, darker colored lines connect distinctly into the harbor, which means that they are ALSO WATER.

So, if a person with a Six of Crows obsession and maybe a little too much time on their hands were to take that map and color it so that all of the water was blue, it would look something like this:

Now, I may just be stupid, but I’d like to believe there is at least one other person who will be as baffled upon seeing this post as I was when I made this realization. It’s water!! Canals are a major form of transportation in Ketterdam!! This not only is very interesting to me in regards to Ketterdam’s culture, but it also changed the way I pictured the city in my head. This is life-changing stuff, people.

Christmas as a cultural icon is starting to get really dystopian in a climate sense, december has historically been a time of year in which there would be snow in a significant portion of europe and north america, and the fact that its not even icy this time of year and all the christmas songs and decorations reference a time of year that will likely never exist in the same way again in my life time is so strange.

genderqueerdykes:

I’ve been seeing a disturbing number of “queer safe spaces” describe themselves as things like “femme & them” and even worse “she+,” conflating femininity & nonbinaryhood. cease this immediately. say it with me: nonbinary people are NOT women-lite and it is extremely violent and straight up incorrect to imply that all they/thems are fem adjacent. this is erasure and this verbiage does nothing but make gnc and nonbinary spaces unsafe for masc and male nonbinary people. nonbinary, genderqueer and other third gender people can be and are masculine and men, we can be hes as well as shes and theys, stop allowing yourself and your peers to view nonbinary as woman/femme-lite, signed a butch nonbinary person.

>First, we’ve discovered that about a quarter of all the internet connection in or out of the house were ad related. In a few hours, that’s about 10,000 out of 40,000 processed.

>We also discovered that every link on Twitter was blocked. This was solved by whitelisting the https://t.co domain.

>Once out browsing the Web, everything is loading pretty much instantly. It turns out most of that Page Loading malarkey we’ve been accustomed to is related to sites running auctions to sell Ad space to show you before the page loads. All gone now.

>We then found that the Samsung TV (which I really like) is very fond of yapping all about itself to Samsung HQ. All stopped now. No sign of any breakages in its function, so I’m happy enough with that.

>The primary source of distress came from the habitual Lemmings player in the house, who found they could no longer watch ads to build up their in-app gold. A workaround is being considered for this.

>The next ambition is to advance the Ad blocking so that it seamlessly removed YouTube Ads. This is the subject of ongoing research, and tinkering continues. All in all, a very successful experiment.

>Certainly this exceeds my equivalent childhood project of disassembling and assembling our rotary dial telephone. A project whose only utility was finding out how to make the phone ring when nobody was calling.

>Lemmings problem now solved.

>Can confirm, after small tests, that RTÉ Player ads are now gone and the player on the phone is now just delivering swift, ad free streams at first click.

>Some queries along the lines of “Are you not stealing the internet?” Firstly, this is my network, so I may set it up as I please (or, you know, my son can do it and I can give him a stupid thumbs up in response). But there is a wider question, based on the ads=internet model.

>I’m afraid I passed the You Wouldn’t Download A Car point back when I first installed ad-blocking plug-ins on a browser. But consider my chatty TV. Individual consumer choice is not the method of addressing pervasive commercial surveillance.

>Should I feel morally obliged not to mute the TV when the ads come on? No, this is a standing tension- a clash of interests. But I think my interest in my family not being under intrusive or covert surveillance at home is superior to the ad company’s wish to profile them.

>Aside: 24 hours of Pi Hole stats suggests that Samsung TVs are very chatty. 14,170 chats a day.

>YouTube blocking seems difficult, as the ads usually come from the same domain as the videos. Haven’t tried it, but all of the content can also be delivered from a no-cookies version of the YouTube domain, which doesn’t have the ads. I have asked my son to poke at that idea.

Yeppers. :)

reblogging for study later AND to spread the info.

Seriously, get and run PiHole if you can. It changes your internet experience so much for the better. I get shocked when I visit a website when I’m someone else’s network, by just how many ads the internet is flooded with now. Take back control.

Things i learned as a child that probably no one intended to teach me

• To grown-ups, being bad at stuff is a sin. Forgetting stuff is the worst sin of all, and also doesn’t exist - it is widely believed (and your behaviour will be interpreted thusly) that in some Freudian sense, it is impossible to forget things if you care about them or their consequences or the people who care about those things.
• Your being happy and enjoying what you do doesn’t matter. All that matters is whether you are Fulfilling Your Potential.
• Human beings do not require rest outside of sleep. Thinking that you do is called ‘being lazy’.
• Who you show physical affection to is a matter of politeness and social protocol, and has nothing to do with your own desires
• It is rude to inform people of your preferences, even if they seem to care about catering to them and therefore might find this useful information.
• Etiquette centres around doing things in especially awkward, skilful and time-consuming ways in order to demonstrate superiority over people who aren’t able to keep up.

Reread the first point with an adhd lens and you’ll see why we all have low self esteem at some point.

Oh shit I just realized I can post the “Gaussian Blur Wizard That Gaussian Blurs You” here

his friend “Motion Blur Mage That Motion Blurs You”

Their long suffering associate, the “Sharpen Cleric that Sharpens you (badly)”

Nooo!!! What have you all unleashed upon us!?!

dont forget the chromatic abberation warlock that chromatically abberates you

may I add Mystic Mosiac who turns your quality waaaaaaay down

[ID: A collection of art of sketchily drawn wizards casting graphic effects on people. The Gaussian Blur Wizard That Gaussian Blurs You shoots electricity at a blurry figure who shouts with horror. They’re followed by an edited screenshot of tags that say “#wha- OH FUCK,” with “oh fuck” also Gaussian blurred.

Next, Motion Blur Mage That Motion Blurs You shoots firey energy at a person who shouts as they’re motion-blurred. Sharpen Cleric that Sharpens you (badly) looks tired as they put a strong sharpen effect over a twisted form. After that, a person kneels on the floor and shakes as all three effects are applied to them by the above wizards.

Then, the Chromatic Abberation Warlock uses a staff tipped in a color wheel to chromatically aberrate a form lying in the Hank Hill death pose. Finally, the tiny Mystic Mosiac uses a staff with a cube floating over it to pixelate a shouting figure. End ID]

it’s always so fucking funny to me when terfs are like “how can you say trans women and women are the same thing! being born as a man makes you different!” because like. yes. trans women and cis women are different. so are black women and white women. and straight women and queer woman. and women from different countries and different socioeconomic statuses. there’s diversity in the experience of womanhood? what a wild concept

incidentally, this why terfs tend to be white women. from the combahee river collective statement, 1977:

…we reject the stance of Lesbian separatism because it is not a viable political analysis or strategy for us. It leaves out far too much and far too many people, particularly Black men, women, and children. We have a great deal of criticism and loathing for what men have been socialized to be in this society: what they support, how they act, and how they oppress. But we do not have the misguided notion that it is their maleness, per se—i.e., their biological maleness—that makes them what they are. As BIack women we find any type of biological determinism a particularly dangerous and reactionary basis upon which to build a politic. 

(emphasis mine)

“To argue that transsexual women should not enter [women-exclusive spaces] because their experiences are different would have to assume that all other women’s experiences are the same, and this is a racist assumption. The argument that transsexual women have experienced some degree of male privilege should not bar them from our communities once we realize that not all women are equally privileged or oppressed.”

(from “Whose feminism is it, anyway?” by Emi Koyama)

This. This is the core of it. This is why trans-exclusionary radical feminism is rooted in racism, colonialism, and imperialism. It excludes the idea that there can be any other type of “woman” except one very (white, colonialist, imperialist) definition.

But the thing is often people haven’t written it because it’s not profitable to, or not feasible to make it widely accessible. It also serves as a tool for synthesising information in one central place, it’s common to see/hear people in education asking (mostly chatGPT) to explain things because the explanation at their level isn’t available, or the information is sparse, or hard to find. It’s like a search engine for human knowledge, which is an amazingly powerful tool.

It has flaws, yes, but shouldn’t be condemned by an unduly high value put on what humans have published

Sorry, but this is completely wrong.

Bots like chatGPT will straight up lie or make shit up or give demonstrably false answers when asked simple questions. It is not an information repository or search, it is a text generator. It is completely incapable of verifying if the text it generates has any correlation with reality, only with whatever text it’s trying to replicate the patterns of.

Do not buy into the idea that it is some revolutionary tool for writing or learning.

It is longform autofill.
