“in america, you deserve to be murdered by the state if you have gender pronouns in bio”

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

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

To ICE: get the fuck out of America.

If you've been following this story, your blood should and will be absolutely boiling.

And that's it for Silksong! A phenomenal final boss for a phenomenal game, well-worth doing 100%. www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4Kd...

Message to all faculty: your expertise is no longer trusted or valued at this so-called “university.”

Is every university's AI "taskforce" in reality a naked boosterism committee like mine. Rarely felt so demoralized by the mismatch of what I thought Higher Ed stood for and what I see endorsed and accepted (and, far worse, ommitted!) in these reports, surveys, guidelines, etc. Pathetic.

wow is it possible for seven people to all be wrong about something? www.axios.com/2025/09/02/a...

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

Mamdani elected and GZDoom has already been forked with texture filtering off by default. Promises kept.

From his mad ravings to the generals meeting yesterday (transcribed in @hcrichardson.bsky.social's newsletter this morning). This kind of shit is what they're trying to hide:

please clap

The hell it’s not!

Last Judge down! I actually enjoyed the grueling runback! Or maybe that's Stockholm Syndrome?... youtu.be/DVhHJjvonD8

getting fired from your job because some dipshit student who missed their calling in the Stasi filmed you talking about gender in a class about gender

Take that, Sister Splinter! (I love this game)

The stuff Jeffrey Epstein’s friends felt comfortable saying and drawing in grotesque detail with their names attached knowing they would not face consequences is the kind of thing I think of when I think about rape culture and how sexual violence against girls and young women is actually glorified

Speedrunning music analysis: Silksong edition. Here's a reduction and beginnings of a neo-Riemannian account of the music for the first legit challenging miniboss (Skull Ant) and subsequent area (Hunter's March). Wonderful music from Christopher Larkin!

Just secured rights to use the absolute *most perfect* image for my book cover. Not cheap but worth every penny. Can't wait for everyone to see it in <time not specified but hopefully not too long>.

This one hurts. One of my musical idols. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

youtu.be/O1qQcbzphFo?... Romina is down! An exhausting fight and one that wasn’t particularly clean this time, but very satisfying. I think she’s a great and really fun boss. What were your thoughts @haydnpuff.bsky.social?

Neither the hardest nor most time-consuming boss from Elden Ring but my vote for the worst on an RL1. I *hated* this fight. Between the horrid summons, teleporting, animation locks after successfully dodging attacks, it drove me crazy. Even this win feels lousy b/c it was so random and unclean.

When a Star Wars TV show is more morally clear-eyed, more willing to call out genocide, than the entire rest of our media landscape.

Episode 8 of Andor season two may be the most powerful, most politically important piece of media I've watched in... I don't know how long. Fighting back tears.

Another one down. Clayman's Harpoon w/ Ice Spear and Godrick's Greatrune. Took forever to reach Phase 2 (hundreds of attempts), but when I finally did, beat her on my first try...

Took more than a week, but I finally got the right combination of RNG, damage optimization, and muscle memory to take this bozo down. @haydnpuff.bsky.social , you'll appreciate this. youtu.be/evlY3AP3tpM?...

Over the past month, I've been immersing myself in the works of Allan Pettersson. It's heavy and draining stuff for sure, but not nearly as difficult as his reputation had me believing. 1/x www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlFx...

Severance! Well that was one of the best episodes of tv I’ve seen in a while. A bright spot in an otherwise miserable day.

Medieval theorists distinguished between several species of hexacheeses -- mollis (ex. marscaponic), naturalis (ex. muensterlyidan), and durus (ex. cheddorian). These of course were visualized via the Goudanian Hand.
