Voting for Democrats is the "leaving the house, getting some exercise, and drinking more water is good for your mental health" of societal change. Everyone keeps telling you to do it, worst of all your mom keeps telling you to do it, and it's not a magical cure-all, but it actually works and rotting in your room shitposting does not help in either scenario.

Also like mental health, voting doesn't solve the whole problem! But if you aren't doing this bare minimum thing, the other tools you have aren't going to work as well as they should either. If you get medicine and continue rotting in your room shitposting, you will probably still be miserable. If you get a union at work but don't vote for politicians who support unions, the union won't be able to advocate for its members as effectively and work will still be miserable.

Voting is maintenance. It's like doing the dishes or cleaning the leaves out of the gutters. You're never going to get to a point where you are Done and Never Have To Do It Again (alas,) because time will continue to pass and you will continue to eat meals and the trees will continue to drop leaves into your gutters and right wingers will continue to submit bad bills to every session of congress.

You'll never be done with maintenance. But if you don't do that maintenance, your situation can and definitely will get Worse

Hello! I come with some good news! In the EU, a law has been passed restricting generative AIs (particularly ones that pose a high risk). I hope other areas in the world follow suit, but this is huge! It'll take a while to be applied as well, though this is still a major win for everyone.

What this new law means...

AI will be banned from being used for the following purposes:

'Biometric categorisation systems' using sensitive information scraped from images on the internet and CCTV footage.' This means people can't use AI/scraping to create a catalogue for;

  • facial recognition databases.
  • 'Emotion recognition' in schools and workplaces
  • Social scoring systems
  • Predictive Policing
  • Being designed to manipulate human behaviour

People will gain the right to file complaints regarding AI systems.

AI developers must minimize risk to people, maintain usage logs, ensure transparency, and implement human oversight.

AI models will have to comply with EU copyright law

This means AI devs will HAVE to provide a comprehensive and detailed summary of the data used to train their AI's.

Any AI generated video, image, or audio (including deepfakes) MUST be labelled as such.

This is not in force for at LEAST two years. However it *is* going to become law (with an overwhelming majority of the European Parliament voting in favour, 523 in favour, 46 against, 49 absent.)

This is the first what is likely to be a slew of laws and regulations regarding the usage of AI.

one frustrating element of the new content bans on gumroad and patreon is that they're doing it to stay in line with their payment processors' policies, which themselves are in place to stay in line with FOSTA-SESTA.

which is a law passed in the united states, a country of which i am not a citizen and in which i do not live. i was legally prohibited from voting for or against FOSTA-SESTA, but because the platforms and payment providers i use are based there, i am expected to comply with it anyway.

and the tiktok situation shows us that any platform based outside the US can and will be either blocked from operating within it or forcibly divested from its foreign owners.

this is just another facet of american empire, by the way. it's more than bombs and guns and client states: it's that the US leverages its dominance over technology and finance to set policy for, effectively, the entire world.

Been gone for a while. I was working on building a human. They're out of the oven now, and well baked if I do say so myself lol. I'm over the moon, but recovery and the life change has been difficult, so I haven't felted or sculpted anything in months. It's nice to finally be in a place where I can create again.

Working on a mobile for my lil grublet. First critter is done, a dragon holding a muffin to represent me! There will be three more, each representing one of their primary guardians: a Cascades fox with a Sounders scarf, a red river hog with a mushroom, and a jackalope with a top hat.

it's hilarious how if you do any amount of research into life or death melee combat the prevailing themes that emerge are that

  • you're gonna get tired very quickly
  • tired leads to injured, injured leads to tired, tired leads to—
  • you're not gonna be as composed as you expect
  • humans are more fragile than you think and also more durable than you think. both are true and neither stop them from dying of an infection later (DO NOT GET BITTEN)
  • DO NOT GET STABBED (generally good life advice)
  • DO GET A SPEAR
  • knights are faster than you think
rainboq

Other favorites from history:

  • Humans are very good at *pretending* to fight each other in hopes that the generals way in the back are buying it so nobody has to get stabbed.
  • Most of the dying only happened after a side broke and tried to run, because then the rich assholes on horseback got to start running them down.

  • When you do get a bloodthirtsy force, it gets bad real quick (see the battle of Adrianople, 378 CE, and the battle of Cannae, 216 BCE)
  • SUPPLY LINES FFS
  • Uuuuuuuh wow professionalization matters a lot actually
  • There's a lot of dust actually
  • Horses Will Not run through opposing infantry, but they will run at other horses
  • Elephants are not worth it, tbh
  • Shields matter a lot if you want to not die but good luck finding a balance between being too heavy and not protective enough
  • Anything is a projectile if you throw it hard enough
  • Always have a knife
  • Do Not Fall Down - you will be trampled
  • The guy with the biggest hat/plume is the leader
  • Release The Hounds
  • Valleys are BAD NEWS
  • Uphill is much nicer than downhill
  • A retreat route to boats on the sea is only helpful when you're already ready to sail
  • Forests are torches waiting to be lit
  • A professional soldier does a surprising amount of sitting around and day labour on massive projects
  • The army has always been a good place to become an engineer, it seems
  • Ffs, pleasr listen when the sergeant tells you something. He's always right
  • If you've got a shit general, make sure you've got a good tactician/strategist
  • That rich guy really doesn't know what he's doing, huh
  • Drowning is awful and being in the navy is certainly A Choice, but your wife will not be happy with you
  • Damn, all this shit is heavy :(((
  • Attack the baggage train >:)))
  • Uhhhh, sarge? The battle line broke. I'm going home
  • Why aren't the enemy running and screaming back at us? They're just ... walking towards us. I will not be sticking around to figure out whatever fuckery they're up to.
  • Blood is actually really slippery :(
  • I did not clean my blade and now the blood has dried and glued the sword and scabbard together :(((
  • Tf you mean we're gonna fight during harvest season. I think tf not.
  • I Hate This. All Of This.
  • Fuck me, battle is LOUD despite the fact I can't hear shit in this helmet
  • You're better to be down an arm than down a leg, tbh
  • Desertion rates are not as high as you'd think, but if you let the troops starve and get sick, they will abandon you en masse
  • WHAT MADE YOU THINK CROSSING THE MOUNTAINS WAS A GOOD IDEA?!
  • The fewer pieces to armour the better is usually is (with the exception of chain and scale)
  • Skirts and loose-ish clothes actually help conceal the lines of your body in combat
  • Don't wear too much armour in a hot place because you will be sweating until you pass out and die
  • CHARIOTS ARE SO COOL
  • Falling off a chariot is Less Cool
  • You're less likely to get stabbed than you are crushed or run over
  • Leather resists slashing damage, silk/linen resists piercing damage and wood/ceramic disperses blunt damage
  • Ceramic armour is actually so effective at defending its wearer that we still use it in bulletproof vests and tank armour (though once its broken it needs to be replaced)
  • A blade lodged in bone can actually be really hard to get back out
  • If your belly is cut open, you're already dead to an infection
  • Unless they hit a major artery, bleeding out takes a long time
