transcription: good girls dont get the group chat subpoenaed

The classic flash game Happy Wheels is now available to purchase on Steam. Ahhh, nostalgia. Nice to see this game will live forever.

I am italian, and the main messaging platform here is WhatsApp. I didn’t completely quit, i just said “Hey, i want to not use it as much, so don’t expect me to instantly answer”, and that was the deal for a while. Then, i suddenly convinced the most important friends to switch including my mom, and now i can confidently say i could potentially delete my WhatsApp account and wouldn’t loose on much. However i’ve been thinking and i feel like an asshole for making them switch. They say it’s not an issue for them, but still feels like such a selfish thing to do. I am immensely against Meta, i do not trust their app, especially since it’s closed source and most of their revenue is literally data trafficking, but i also feel like a bit of a paranoid crazy guy. I love Signal and chose that as a platform mainly because they have no telemetry, no ads, no AI bs, it’s fully open source and incredibly user friendly (only annoyances are the centralization which is kinda necessary for the ease of use and the mobilecoin stuff, but it is not a biggie since it’s opt in and you’d have to specifically seek out for it unlike the Brave Rewards in Brave for example). What do you think?

Hey everyone, I am setting my new (used) pixel 8 with GOS. I read on GOS site a lot,but want clearer understand some things. How to set different profiles- one for private and one for daily use. I understood its possible, right? I read another bothering thing,that GOS use 2 steps authentication- fingerprints and pin to open the phone. I am very against biodata, I never use it. Is it possible to leave only with pin ? Any advice what to apps to install will be greatly appreciated.

will you? imagine how i’d hold you.

i’ve had this image since march this year and i have somehow not used it in a post yet. now i have.

i present to you: baby burgers. the one displayed is the baby whopper. not very whopping, is it?

anyway, i’m a bit hungry but also not really soooo umm imma go eepy sleepy now. it’s late and i got group therapy tomorrow ~ughhhh~ ~it~ ~sucks~ ~so~ ~bad…~ and i might visit BK afterwards sooooo yea whatever. maybe. maybe not. probably? dunno. can’t tell, am not hungry rn.

just so u know: the burgers are not all that tasty. they are fine, but you should just get regular burgers instead.

i wish you a wonderful day where you, even if just temporarily, turn into someones baby burger ~

Bernie Sanders: Ban Superintelligence
[from NYT -
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/21/opinion/bernie-sanders-case-ai-policy.html]

Sept. 21, 2026

Will A.I. wipe out humanity in 10 years, 20 years — or never? I don’t know. You don’t know. But I don’t want to wait to find out.

Call me a raging conservative, but I don’t want to see a dangerous technology continue to evolve rapidly when the owners of that technology acknowledge they can’t control it and they don’t know where it’s going.

For the sake of all humanity, the United States and China must reach an agreement to stop dangerous A.I. development.

This is a credible problem. If the CIA director was in Moscow some months ago, last time right before the start of the war, this is a problem.

The Failure at God School is officially getting a TV anime adaptation. The popular manga is written by Hyuuganatsu, author of The Apothecary Diaries, with manga art by Modomu Akagawara, known for Ani Tomo, and is currently serialized in Hakusensha’s Hana to Yume with cooperation on the original work from Seikaisha. A teaser visual has also been unveiled, along with comments from Hyuuga and Akagawara.

Replies were bombarded with harassment and enbyphobia, trotting out the usual, “Why did you say their? Is she a group?” talking point, like a wall of Buzz Lightyear toys repeating their stock phrase. Others ask how to un-back the project, some describe the announcement as a “threat,” and then come the usual buzzwords: Erika Ishii is a “toxic activist,” a “woke idiot,” “Antifa terrorist,” and a few blatantly racist descriptors we obviously won’t repeat here. Understandably, Double Fine turned off the comments.

also shoutout to the WORST comment section of all time

By Emily Bender and Timnit Gebru, timely and thoughful as ever:

Claims of incipient, dangerous superintelligence are not based in good scientific or engineering practice. Rather, they are narratives based in ideologies of transhumanism, eugenics, and wishful thinking about imagined future digital humans.

[…]

the illusion of speed and urgency promulgated by the tech companies is also a ploy to misdirect both policymakers and the public. Unfortunately, it sometimes works, such as with Senator Bernie Sanders’s well-meaning but ultimately misguided proposed legislation to prevent the development of “artificial superintelligence.”

Describing them as “superintelligence” or “rogue models” ascribes agency to products rather than to the companies building them. This framing markets these companies’ products as “superhuman” and, at the same time, helps the companies evade accountability for their actions.

it’s been some time since the last purplepost, so here we are again. this one *might be the most intense one to date.

you might notice that Whites arm clips into the sofa. i really really tried not to let that happen, but the other option would have been to either change the hands color or to have it be even harder to tell what pose White is taking exactly. sooo i think this is a fair tradeoff.

some day i really might wanna transition to a style where each arm gets a slightly different shade so one can tell them apart, even when they are right in front of one another.

i hope you enjoy this one.

i wish you a wonderful day where someone compliments your work.

New guidelines will require all schools in Northern Ireland to offer girls the option to wear trousers as part of their uniform.

Education Minister Paul Givan said the revised guidance will allow girls to wear trousers as part of their uniform and also for PE and games.

Sinn Féin MLA Cathy Mason has described the decision as a “welcome but embarrassing U-turn by the minister”.

Education Committee chairman Nick Mathison said the minister will have to explain why he “took so long to move on this issue”.

The guidelines are legally binding under the School Uniforms Act which came into operation earlier this year.
