"The only thing that will relieve my stress is watching my legless simulacrum take a dead woman to pound town" is so bleak I don't even think Black Mirror would touch it.

It's a shame that "defend your culture" always means "hate strangers different from you" and never "enact anti-pollution laws so that you can go fishing with your grandkids the way your grandpa taught you."

Saw this meme and I did it. Opening line to Neuromancer.

Putting on the glasses that let you see the boardgame shelves like normal people see them:

On April 7th, 2026, people stopped being born. On the same day, people stopped dying, and people stopped aging. On April 19th, 2026, Moonshot will be celebrating this anniversary with a live table read of @jonbois.bsky.social’s 17776 in its entirety on moonshot.mov. We hope you'll join us.

The thing about my posting is you will never know if I am posting drunk, high or sober. All posts are the same from me. You can guess but you’ll be wrong, always wrong. I am God’s Cruel and Divine Mystery #gcadm

Inconvenience? I just had to dig seven pages deep to find the unsubscribe for one of the four TV subscriptions I need, I'm measured & optimized against in my supermarket, lamps, music, games, and travel. Every service I love gets enshittified to buy billionaires yachts worth 100 times my house.

To my non tech normies, PSA: when you share a link, everything after the ? is tracking. Those “query parameters” tell companies exactly how you arrived, what app you clicked, which ad or email sent you, sometimes a unique identifier tied to you. You can delete everything after the question mark.

once I told my 67 obsessed niece the "why was 6 afraid of 7? because 7 8 9" joke, and she riposted with "why was 10 afraid? because it was in the middle of 9/11" zero people are ready for Gen Alpha

It's really cool how you develop a shared language with people over time. Like, I just had this conversation with my spouse.

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

Help this shit has me in tears

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

Someday, a reporting team is going to win a Pulitzer for revealing what really happened to Venezuela's oil money

Having an "oh, that's what I should have said" moment about a conversation you had four months ago

This song from Croatia's national final still rules. This final fantasy ass man's song has a rap break FOLLOWED BY a dramatic monologue. youtu.be/gVFxLPCF9tk

Blowing things up, kidnapping and killing foreign leaders, is good because it's Doing. Considering the consequences of Doing would be Thinking, which is weak and woke

Stray #MGP thoughts Sweet Tooth did it better 90s club song is really back this year I thought Rise was kinda okay but then got way too cornball. Oh look, he rose. Did Leonardo ask to be dressed like a sith (Star Wars) or is it just a coincidence?

Watching #UMK live today since it's got English commentary and also gosh do I need escapism today. Erika! The Eurovangelists podcast thought she could win last year! She really didn't get the points she deserved. Also damn she's hot. This outfit is fantastic and so well crafted

this is just who they are they do bad things everywhere all the time because they are evil and stupid and constantly indulging their very worst impulses there’s no twelve dimensional plan here

Every major disaster in this country over my lifetime has been self inflicted by right wing ideologues with just enough complicit or inert Democrats to enable or ratify them. That's why we've been on this doom trajectory for the last ~50 years and it'll keep getting worse if that doesn't change

I think #Eurovizija might have been my favorite national final so far. Almost all of the songs were competent and entertaining, and a little off beat. My favorite didn't win, but I'm happy with the winner! www.youtube.com/live/WHdHpo6...

Poem in the Shape of the Poet Beating Henry Kissinger to Death with Their Bare Hands by Felix

“America has been authoritarian from the moment it was founded: it was just that the authoritarianism extended to specific groups. Indigenous people, Black people, and women, those who didn’t own land. By refusing to resolve these issues, the right has created an opening…”

I really enjoyed speaking with @micahloewinger.bsky.social for @onthemedia.bsky.social about the long history of U.S. media capture. www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

Are you in Philly on Saturday evening? Do you like @jeffstormer.gobirds.online ? (duh, obviously) Do you want to see me and Jeff play Insatiable Cravings by @strautmaskreplica.bsky.social , a game about monsterfucking, cooking, betrayal, and possible cannibalism? Unity Java. 7pm. Be there.

I didn't get to live watch Dora 2026 (Croatia Eurovision final), but there were a lot of good songs, plenty of okay songs, and at least one bad song! I think my favorite was Devin's "Over Me" with its anime ass aesthetic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GD1U...

I would have live blogged Esti Laul, but we were out when it started. So rewatch thread! Chicherik & Max - "Jolly Roger" I don't know how committed these young men are to this urban pirate persona. Meg: "not enough." 4/10

Wild that I have to watch Denmark's Eurovision final in order to see a native American performing on TV #dmgp

As Eurovision season heats up, here is a good recap and reminder of the terrible, entirely self-inflicted wound that the EBU has inflicted. I love this contest, and fear it is in danger of self-destruction

itch.io/b/3484/no-ic... The NO ICE IN MINNESOTA bundle is up. There's a lifetime's worth of good games in this! If you submitted something or just want to shout something out, reply here and let's reshare it and spread the word on this thing.

VA Gov. Spanberger (moderate, was in CIA) and NYC Mayor Mamdani (left, is in DSA) both taking steps to block local law enforcement from helping ICE as it violently violates people's rights is a good example of how the relevant divide in the Dem coalition isn't center-left, it's fight-don't fight.

I got to playtest Monstrous Detectives, and it was such a fun time! An improvised mystery with a great cast of supernatural characters. You can watch the playthrough linked as a reply, and back the Kickstarter below!

This article is a very good example of why "more training" and "more vetting" isn't the answer. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez joined Border Patrol in 2018 and 2014 respectively. These aren't new agents. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

You know they've lost the narrative in Minnesota, because the thing they're doing to distract from it is release more Epstein files

We have some real C-suite fascism going on. Executives decided that frictionless isn't just what they want in tech. It's what they want in humans, which requires subservience.

This hit so fucking hard today.

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

From the NY Post. You know they are really scrambling when they are running "The gun was no angel" stories.

I remember reading about Trump's 2011 Comedy Central roast, saying jokes are fine because people were talking about him. That feels like the motivating ideology of his 2nd term. He is breaking the country & world order not out of any deeply held belief, but so people will talk about him forever.

Late to live blogging Luxembourg final, I was still eating lunch. Let's go!

Holy fucking shit this is awesome use this now cybernews.com/security/dev...
