Hit a 25 win streak on Street Fighter 6 with AKI and now It's time for bed! See you tomorrow, Magfest!

We just checked into our room at the Gaylord and we appear to be situated with a wall adjacent to a "party room". Pray for my sleep, friends.

I ran into him in dealer's room and I fucking cackled

BENOIT BLANC: an' you suh, you uh, you had no ANIMUHS with uh the snake mistuh COILY, none of any kind you might say? Q*BERT: !@#$%? BLANC: suh we do not say that anymore

Open at #magfest :D come find me

We are up and running at @magfest.org !!! @cookiebrigade.bsky.social in thanks for their design work over the years, has graciously allotted @porkbuns.bsky.social some space to sell their own art and pins this weekend. We're set up in Charity near the entrance to the Arcade. Stop on in and say hi!

This is the ICE agent who murdered a woman by shooting her multiple times in the face.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Mayor Jacob Frey: “To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

I won't be streaming on Thursday due to Magfest, but I'm playing Street Fighter 6 tonight! Stop by and (hopefully) see the kittens. www.twitch.tv/normans_own?...

Finally, my time to shine.

First CES panel. Intuit CMO Thomas Ranese is proud of his company's integration with OpenAI, which involves giving AI read/write access to tax data. Since prompt injection attacks are unavoidable, I asked him who will be liable when customer data is exposed: Intuit, OpenAI, etc? He had no idea.

When you think about it, Elon turning Twitter into a deep-fake porn site was basically in the mission statement when he renamed it "X".

Oh I'll be at Magfest at the Cookie Brigade booth shilling my wares (including two new Hollow Knight linocut prints), help me pay down my credit card debt ty ty

This was a labor of love that I worked on the last week or so. It’s a general guide on how to get good at 2D fighters. I hope this reaches people that are into them, but maybe don’t have a gameplan that sets them up for success. youtu.be/E6XeqPrnNzg?...

Say hello to our first rescue of 2026, a very skinny little boy from the never-ending Final Fantasy colony. Unlike a lot of these FF colony kittens who have required a little bit of work by the time they are this old, he is apparently so relieved to be in a warm and friendly lap. Look at this boy!!

"I think I just shit my pants."

Hoooooly shit, Ravens. That's rough, buddy.

Started playing Fallout 2 tonight. I don't know what that says about what kind of head space I'm in, or how long I'll stick with it, but I'm definitely playing the game.

But they can't without my $5.00 donation! I fucked up so bad, I'm sorry guys. This is all my fault for not sending that text message $5.00.

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated. According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

2026 went to shit in 3 days. Is that a record?

fwiw it’s been about six weeks since Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras who had been convicted of trafficking drugs into the US

Apparently it's free donut day and under no circumstances do you have to hand it to Dunkin' but these single donut hand bags are adorable.

Obsessed with this juxtaposition

We're getting back to it tonight, if a little later than usual. At 7:30 we get back on the Street Fighter 6 Ranked horse I've been ignoring for the past few weeks. www.twitch.tv/normans_own?...

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

No resolutions this year. Only threats.

Happy "Resetting Your Insurance Deductible Day" to all who celebrate.

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

I would. There's so many of them and they eat everything. They're probably an invasive species in the Mushroom Kingdom.

If you want to see what I was doing instead of streaming tonight, behold! My white chocolate limoncello bundt cake.

2025 Creature Wrapped Thanks to @crits4cats.org for trusting us with ten babies this year!

We're having some fun HVAC problems at the moment so a stream seems unlikely. Hard to do much other than worry about the heat when your heat doesn't work right.

I used to work in a small grocery store in Connecticut. We had a regular customer who came in and bought stuff a couple times a month. Nice dude. One day a fellow cashier flipped out and asked him for his autograph and I was super confused. Ends up, it was former Sportcenter host Stewart Scott.

i have very rapidly become incapable of thinking about anything that isn’t this video

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

I don't know who purchased these stickers for me, but if you're reading this, thanks!

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

If someone had told me The Pitt was a trauma ER story told hour by hour in real-time, I would have watched this show so much sooner.

Someone who writes better than me should do an article comparing Plu1bus to The Summer Hikaru Died, and the perils of falling in love with non-human entities in human form.

My straight friend - a CrossFit coach who can deadlift, like, 10,000 lbs - adores dachshunds. Not only does he adore them, he always adopts senior and special needs dachshunds, who he then pushes around in strollers when they're no longer able to walk. He can crush your head with one hand.

You know, there were a lot of great games this year, but the most striking thing to me is that I totally forgot that Monster Hunter Wilds released this year. I have literally THOUSANDS of hours in these games dating back to Monster Hunter Freedom 2 on PSP and I fell off Wilds after around 50 hours.

I usually don't like snow but overnight on a Friday with nothing else to do this weekend? That I don't mind as much.
