FUN FACT: I am just a handful of coping mechanisms stacked on top of each other in a trenchcoat trying to pass as a functioning adult

@JonBaker Wait, I thought that was just what consciousness is.

Fuming mildly after seeing a personal anecdote designed to make men like me more comfortable with the notion of seeking emergency medical care in ambiguous situations that might be, but probably aren't, a heart attack. "Just go to the nearest ER and get checked out, it's the wise and smart thing to do, your wife will love you for your commitment to staying alive for her!"

It's also a quick way to incur more debt in an afternoon than some of us make in a year. Not such an easy decision to make.

I would be thrilled to receive follow recommendations for porn-posting accounts on Mastodon that routinely (I do not look for or expect perfection) show provenance for the photos (any kind of metadata telling us who's in the photo, who took or published it, or where/when it was first published) and at least a good-faith stab at some alt text. I don't mind a bot account (if it does this stuff, which I haven't ever seen one do) but hand-rolled is nicest.

Boosts for this toot would be delightful.

How long, I wonder, before we see the first confirmed AI casualty caused by somebody who thinks an AI hallucination served up by Google must be reliable info and takes/follows the fatal advice?

Thanks everyone! We closed the loop!

Most websites are now publishing algorithmic generated content in order to please ranking algorithms from search engines in order to display generated ads that will be clicked by crawling bots and automatically generated social profiles.

No humans needed any more!

Which means that you can now close your laptop, watch a sunset and talk to real humans near you. Enjoy your life far from your screen.

@ploum This is snarky and funny but it ignores the fact that for thirty years an awful lot of us enjoyed a huge amount of internet-mediated sociality that was superior or usefully supplementary (for whatever reasons) to the social opportunities available to us in meatspace. It's funny to say "go outside and talk to people again" but a lot of us had reasons that wasn't working so well and now we are decades older so it's even harder. The loss is real and not genuinely a cause for celebration.

Years late to the party, I'm pleased to announce that ErosBlog finally uses HTTPS. I know some people in select controlled browsing/computing environments may hitherto have been prevented or deterred from visiting. If that's you or anybody you know (boosts encouraged!) then welcome back and thanks for your patience.

It's genuinely ASTONISHING how much technical debt a non-techie webmaster like me can pile up over the course of 22 years. But that's one box checked off!

Much of my pleasure reading lately has been in the space of kinky erotic romance, which means my usual Kindle weather report is "steamy with a chance of severe werewolves." Thus did I find myself laughing out loud at a line by Cory Doctorow aka @pluralistic when he spoke of a "whole world of indie Kindle books pitched at incredibly voracious communities of readers, especially the very long tail of very niche sub-sub-genres radiating off the woefully imprecise category of 'paranormal romance.'"

Not gonna name any names but...

Have any of the rest of you noticed people here on Mastodon who are visibly DAMAGED by their years of posting on abusive #pornocalypse platforms? As in, they have flinches and tells from years of dodging capricious moderation?

I just saw someone who posts found BDSM pics without provenance or alt-text. They don't know anything about the img context. But they still put "Consensual bondage. Not an actual depiction of any violent or illegal behavior" on each toot!

ErosBlog,
@ErosBlog@kinkyelephant.com avatar

I wanna tell 'em "This is the Fediverse! Nobody is going to boot you for posting a bondage picture as long as it's behind an appropriate content warning. If that's not true on your instance, find a better instance!"

Demanding that people use content warnings on their toots about protest activity is... at best a peculiar look.

It's the fascists who demand protesters stay on the sidewalk, but not in the street and not on the lawn. It's the fascists who complain about the noisy chants.

If protest activity is INTENDED to be noisy, obnoxious, and impossible to ignore (which it often is) then it's weird to imagine that SUPPORTING that protest activity with information ops should be tagged for easier ignoring.

Friendly reminder that in the time you would spend confronting an online stranger's hostile and bizarre opinions, you can just as easily exclude that stranger from your infosphere permanently and still have time to go to your kitchen space and make yourself a nice cup of flavored coffee.

In the realm of bizarre things happening to unfortunate people I don't know on the other side of the world for whom I can do precisely nothing, it's hard to get my attention. But what's this I hear about the Brits rounding up international asylum seekers and mailing them to concentration camps in, of all places, bloody Rwanda? How? What? Who thought that was a good idea? I can't even. I don't even. Just what? Never mind, I can't afford to think about this. My brain hurts now.

I can't believe the Washington Post did a whole story today about Democratic politicians mocking Kristi Noem for her dog-killing and fucking NOBODY mentioned the shit Mitt Romney got for making his sick dog ride on the roof of his car!

There's a political throughline for EVERYTHING. Including Governor Kristi Noem's pride in shooting her own dog in a gravel pit.

Robert Heinlein was a revered authorial figure (same pantheon as Ayn Rand) for generations of the American right.

Kristi Noem is of an age to have read Heinlein in her uncritical adolescence.

In 1973, Heinlein included the following in his bestselling book Time Enough For Love: "You must be able to shoot your own dog. Don't farm it out."

She thinks it's a VIRTUE.

I’m very fond of stories in a universe where some advanced, but long vanished, race of enigmatic aliens has left behind strange artifacts: like puzzle boxes or dungeons for our heroes to explore and nearly get killed in. If not aliens let it be a lost human civilization.

I also like to think about those ancient people who built the ‘Temple of Doom’— for all of those traps to work so well after thousands of years they must have been very clever. What was it like to set them up?

I asked a fully-censored pornocalypse-enabled commercial AI chatbot to write me a limerick about a man who ate a mango and... this isn't bad, actaully!

A fellow named Stan, quite the gourmand,
Bit into a mango, so grand!
The sweet, juicy flesh,
Made a tropical mesh,
And left sticky contentment in hand.

Tell me you live in Red America without telling me you live in Red America, riding around in your neighbor’s dualie diesel truck edition:

By the way this was 100% not posed or staged in any way. My neighbor was showing off the features on the touchscreen of his fancy truck and I said "Hey, you mind if I snap a picture of that?" He had no idea I was composing a shot of the Red America trifecta: luxury Trump hat, crucifix, and country music.

I assume that people who need to know this would already know it, but I am not such a person and did not know it, so I will pass this on from a correspondent who wishes to remain nameless: There's a FOSS menstrual cycle and fertility tracking app named "drip." created by feminist female developers with privacy at its foundation. I'm not qualified to opine about its safety or security but developers say everything stays on your device: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.drip/

In my ErosBlog post about this revolting development, I referenced the famous meme about the programmer/engineer who not only refuses to have smart devices in his house, but he also keeps a gun handy by his printer so he can kill it quick in case it makes an unexpected noise right before it starts spitting out SkyNet-powered killdroids:

I was just going back through my pornocalypse posts and was reminded of the news last Christmas that Disney had Bowdlerized "gay apparel" out of the popular holiday carol. Didn't get any notice or comment on my blog at the time, and I can't remember if I posted it here, although surely I must have. Anyway, yeah:
