I've waited 3 years to make this post

A wonderful writer and person who used her dying days to speak out against her cousin RFK Jr.’s plan to kill everyone with vaccine misinformation and cuts to cancer research. May her memory be a blessing.

biggest technological revolution of our lifetimes and it's not AI or blockchain or cryptocurrency or metaverse.

Trump’s approval is under 40% so naturally the New York Times found a whole bunch of people that support or defend what he’s doing, including a Kamala 2024 voter who regrets his vote lmao

vibri finds mysterious switch

#StarTrekTNG "For The Glass Is Hollow And The Tap Has Run Dry" A mysterious El Aurian agent (Ted Danson) challenges Guinan for control of Ten Forward. Worf begins an inquisition to determine who left their tea cup in the replicator. Again. Transporter chief: Danny McBride.

Major implications for mail-in voting (voters who are disproportionately older, white, members of the military, urban residents, and registered Democrats)

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

Travel back to 1989 and witness the latest video game hardware with Andy Eddy (then with Video Games & Computer Entertainment magazine). My brother bought a TurboGrafx-16 for Christmas 1989, as part of a fleeting video game phase for him in middle school. He sold it less than 3 years later.

The headline made me snort out loud. This editorial really strives to make good Biden policies sound sinister and bad—for example, characterizing consumer protections as frivolous burdens on providers. @karlbode.com gift article www.wsj.com/opinion/trum...

I need two more games to complete my "games with important revisions and versions", at least as far as I know set and there is one more game missing from my collection. The game is Barbie for NES. There are two revisions that contain different music. The second game is N64 Ocarina of time. 1/2

A retired Tennessee policeman who spent more than a month in jail over an anti-Trump Facebook post is suing the authorities responsible for his arrest. “In America, we do not jail people for political speech,” the lawsuit states. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

I want to print this #Yakuza game image on a poster for my walls, is there a jpg or dumped file anywhere online? #newyorkstyle

More from Sesame Street at the Boston Pops in 1971. The escalation of the comedy business in Frank Oz’s performance is sublime, and fully rooted in character (note the little rhythmic dance that Cookie Monster does right before he dives back into the comic business)... (1/2)

Some good news about Canada! And denim!

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Lore Sjöberg's Ratings, Christmas Songs: badgods.com/p/ratings-mo...

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Behold, my one of a kind Kermit The Frog Energy Dome! And inside? A screaming Kermit mouth!

if you made it this far down the thread, you may be interested in my YouTube channel where I subtitle Zelenskyy's interviews and speeches in English. There is no analysis by me; it's just his direct words. I have a LOT of old stuff that few people have seen, going back to 2008.

Why is Trump's name redacted? He is not the victim. [If you read the section below, you may vomit.] The DOJ is blocking his name for his vanity.

David Attenborough [whispering]: “Like a grain of sand in a vast desert, the predator blends seamlessly into its environment, nearly imperceptible to the naked eye.”

Logging onto this app is like logging into a parallel universe, the universe where everyone reads the news

Conventions, if you use AI do not be surprised if creators turn down your invitations to be guests or even to be on panels. Do not use tools trained on stolen work from creators and then tell them you want to honor or uplift them - that’s not what you’re doing. You’re stealing and being lazy.

This is just going to always be my go-to response to this kind of thing anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

They gave Balatro an 18+ only rating because it had poker cards in it. Disney Solitaire has literal actual real money gambling with dark pattern lootbox microtransactions and is for ages 3 and above.

#Garfield 10/06/1982 🐱

The thing that sealed Cartoon Network the network's fate of eternal irrelevancy is The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball becoming a Hulu original. When new GUMBALL won't air on CN, literally the show CN has aired the MOST for the past 5 years, what the hell will?

“fun” facts I like to bring up at parties that people hate: - apartheid only officially ended in 1991 - schools segregation is on the rise (see: charter schools). brown vs. board of education never included a plan to force places to comply with desegregation so it was almost bound to fail.

Anyway, I could write an essay on why #adoptdontshop has actually made it harder to find healthy pets, because it villainizes breeders who health test and socialize, while telling folk "just get a puppy from a rescue! You can even find breed rescues!" WHO SUPPLIES THE PUPPIES? Think critically.

"my least woke opinion is---" That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania. Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

This message hits hard.

Trying to decide if I want to post to SSB about a weird game from a subculture I haven't touched there yet: erotic gaming. This REALLY doesn't fit the usual mold: it's a simple roguelike that doesn't have sex scenes, though it does have nudity, TF and mind control themes.

being miserable builds character

sometimes I remember random shit like how Twitter doubling the character limit from 140 to 280 was supposedly harmful

This latest migration to Bluesky has led to Linktober-levels of Zelda fanart and I’m loving it 🥹

So much of this feels like when my parents first got email in the mid 2000s and could not comprehend why it would be used for malicious purposes.

This has been the autocrat’s playbook for a decade or two: have friendly oligarchs buy up independent media and then they impose government-friendly editorial policies so the autocrat doesn’t have to get their hand directly dirty killing the free press.

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

Well, now I have something new to shout when startled.

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth. When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

I say his gently, but… There’s something unspeakably shameful The United States letting people go hungry. Not because its government doesn’t fix it — but because tomorrow a few private Americans could, and never notice the cost. That’s the part that sits wrong.

JF: hey folks—trying to get home to NYC from Florida. Two days an two flights cancelled. Think of maybe going to DC and driving home from there—anybody in DC have a good notion of what weather conditions are and will be-like in 24 hours?

I love how these dudes who are rabid to "move fast and break things" have taken things like generally good agile development practices and COMPLETELY missed the fucking point.

Video I wanted to share. Someone used (I think?) a modified version of VHS-Decode to save the REBOOT master tapes, so we're gonna have an HD version of that show at some point. youtu.be/L00jx-GH2w8

Hey Bluesky, why are people I'm not following showing up in my Following feed??

A reminder to everyone that switching services often, or at least hedging your bets with multiple ones, is unfortunately a fact of life for a thinking user in this internet age. Not switching puts you in with people like the folk still using Twitter.
