leftists: payment processors are cracking down so hard on queer and explicit content! this censorship is evil! also leftists: blockchains? clearly a scam. transactions that can't be censored? the only good use for that is crime

I would be way too tempted to boop Denise Richards on the head with that broom lmao

Back then those poor actors had to just imagine CG bugs with nothing but enormous practical sets, true scale spaceship mockups, real crowd scenes and life-sized puppet limbs of bugs to guide them.

There's stuff I've said enough times over and over again that I figure it's time to steal the “thread full of canned replies” idea I've seen some folks around here using.

Was brushing up on Chilean history (namely: Allende's presidency, and Pinochet's coup) on a whim and learned about Project Cybersyn a.k.a. Synco. Crazy to think that Chile was on the path toward fully-automated luxury gay space communism, only for Pinochet's US-backed coup to kill it in the crib.

"A universal basic income would also put a small dent in the deficit created by the mountain of uncompensated labor done mostly by women — mostly by moms. This Mother’s Day, my wish for all mothers is a universal basic income."

This kid's improv skills are top-notch. Little dude's going places. Music education (and art in general, but as a musician I'm gonna be biased lol) is at least as essential for children as reading and math, and in fact helps with both (plus myriad other skills). The more of it, the better.

Bethesda's open world games *are* good, actually! And Starfield was/is their best yet.

Hard times are created by weak men in boardrooms who choose profit over the people who generate it.

Problem: Under capitalism, some workers' livelihoods depend on profiting from their creative output. Correct response: Therefore, we need to ensure people don't need to work to get their basic needs met. Incorrect response: Therefore, we need to pressure the state to enforce a dystopian IP regime.

Happy 100th birthday to Sir David Attenborough, Guardian of the Planet and Britain’s National Treasure 🧪 www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUXh...

If the State Department can revoke passports for this reason, what other reasons can it do so? The precedent here is yet another worrying thing amid a growing pile of worrying things.

The simulated CRT scanlines are giving me Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri vibes and I love it.

It's labs all the way down.

fully automated luxury space communism is just a meme, but i unironically believe this should be our goal as a society. we have abuntant energy from the sky, we have abundant water from the oceans that we can use that energy to make drinkable, and abundant material resources in the vastness of space

Ion engines are fuckin' rad. Curious if this one's as efficient as its smaller predecessors; if so, then this is huge.

Calling it:

Damn, that cover art *fucks*. Suddenly tempted to snag a Switch 2 sooner rather than later.

QTP with a GIF of your PFP.

Seeing the Earth alive on so many different levels — from the natural phenomena like auroras and storms to the artificial phenomena like city lights and satellites — instills in me a newfound sense of hope and optimism for what we Earthlings can, must, and (God willing) shall accomplish.

A computer cannot truly feel spite Therefore a computer cannot program

This video keeps making the rounds, and there are two problems with it: 1. The symptoms are more consistent with a well that wasn't dug deep enough 2. The symptoms started when the DC was under construction; if the DC really is to blame, so would any other construction project have been to blame

If I wasn't broke right now that'd be the easiest $400 I'd ever spend.

I ain't even a furry, but no way in hell am I gonna pass up the opportunity to slap a “rhino” label on my profile.

I think this is, technically speaking, a technical.

Low Attention Span Soy Chorizo Potato and Egg Tostada

What happens if I lick it?

My childhood home had a fruit orchard with, among other things, a pluot (plum×apricot) tree. Those things were delicious.

You could say that they're… swingers.

full version, the vocal samples from the original were getting too big for the SNES memory restrictions so i had to improvise lol

I have seen precisely zero signatures in my life that are actually done in the sort of cursive taught in elementary schools.

Happy International Dip Your Elbows In Goo Day!

My tentacles? Ozric.

Land value taxation would fix this.

I love this from Ms. Rachel. Increasingly proving herself to be today's Mr. Rogers, in a time where we desperately need a Mr. Rogers. I can't fathom how someone could disagree with this sort of pure-hearted person on an ethical issue without having a completely-out-of-whack moral compass.

St. Catrick

More Americans consider homosexuality to be immoral than the death penalty. Bonkers.

He should try stomping turtles. It's said that those who crush turt are one percenters of a more privileged kind: the lifekind. Perchance.

Copped a 3-day Reddit ban for namedropping “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” in response to a bunch of dudes spreading “hate crimes against Jews are actually Mossad false flags” nonsense. I'd take this as an opportunity to touch some grass, but alas, I am in a desert.

In honor of Mr. Rogers’ birthday, here’s your regularly scheduled reminder that the quote of his you keep sharing, that in times of crisis we should look for the helpers, was for his audience of children. We’re adults now. We’re supposed to *be* the helpers.

Same

My mode? Depeche.

Why on Earth would I thank the people whose entire job is to impose privacy-violating security theatrics and needlessly make flying suck — especially when they're apparently willing to do it for free? ICE bad ≠ TSA good

There should be a 24-hour delay before y'all are allowed to post nonsense like this, so that you have time to go home and rethink your life.
