I've met people who refuse to believe that anyone genuinely likes strange or challenging art, films or music. They think those fans are all just pretending.

Every major video game company is silent when employees are harassed because they are petrified their bottom line will be affected. That bottom line is a group of toxic, terrible, trifling ass gamers who they should NOT WANT TO SELL TO ANYWAY. But capitalism prevails, and they cower.

this rules they made it synonymous with lying

Tesla was supposed to be an EV company, but as Elon Musk tries to become a trillionaire, he needs it to be about much more. This week @niedermeyer.online joins @parismarx.com to discuss the state of Tesla and other companies’ efforts to overtake it on EVs. Full ep: techwontsave.us/episode/295_...

When they ask me about Star Trek

I see people my age already falling into moral panics about the youth and then I actually meet young people and they're largely the same as they ever were. We have to chill.

Ruin a book with a car: The Cat in the Hatchback

had the urge to do this since the moment i saw this post! #pixelart

I have a theory that Spock's human mum was autistic as fuck, which is why she got on with Vulcans.

CHOTINER: This game you like to play, what's it called? ME: Slay the Spire. CHOTINER: And you play it on the computer? ME: Yeah. Well, I also have it on my phone. I played another 300 hours. CHOTINER: And these other games in your Steam library. Have you finished them? ME: Now hold on a second,

CHOTINER: The album is titled "One Way Ticket to Hell and Back" THE DARKNESS: Yeah, it's also a track on the album. CHOTINER: And it's about a one way ticket... TD: ...to Hell and back, yes. CHOTINER: Isn't that a round-trip ticket, by definition? TD: Well, uh CHOTINER: there's a return trip.

CHOTINER: You enjoy a late night snack. ME: *chuckles* guilty as charged CHOTINER: You mentioned previously that plums are a favourite. ME: Oh. This. CHOTINER: Straight out of the icebox. ME: I can assure you that I was not aware that they were for breakfast. CHOTINER: okay, but this note...

CHOTINER: And you thought it would be funny to do a fake interview by me? ME: A lot of people have, so CHOTINER: You were looking for engagement? ME: Well, to make someone laugh I guess CHOTINER: How many likes and reposts did it get? ME: That's, uh, not really the metric...look can we start over

Hearing this skeet in the voiceover from the start of the A-Team.

I think this is a golden FAFO moment

I genuinely cannot emphasize this enough. Law enforcement manufacturing evidence and testilying isn't novel to the Trump administration. It's not even more common. They're just worse at it so they're more easily caught doing it.

Okay who leaked the plot of Waifu death squad lol

There are going to be a lot of state college professors and public school teachers reinstated in the coming weeks. Being distasteful about someone's assassination is supported by the First Amendment regardless of how you feel about it.

This is a great piece full of clever responses to the mindless AI boosterism/fatalism that seems to have infected academia. As @bcmerchant.bsky.social says, hammers up comrades!

saw a new slasher flick from The Netherlands. title is Meat Kills, and while the script is pure, standard slasher material (set in a slaughterhouse), the execution is fairly impressive. in other words, the gore is absolutely wild. #fantasticfest

i do not know if this man Has Autism or whatever but i think we can all agree that human knowledge and flourishing depends on dudes (of all genders) who can get way too interested in stuff

ladies if he’s a matador that is a huge red flag

Just FYI, if that Deus Ex remaster looks questionable, consider this community-made remake instead - same plot and voicework, overhauled almost everything else. It has three rulesets. Default is most vanilla, but I like Biomod. Adds a bunch of new mechanics and all the skills/augs are viable.

A sleepsuit is evidently a small jacket and trousers designed for sleeping in while a babygro is a bag of fertiliser mixed with milk and finely milled cereals into which the baby is planted, I mean it’s right there in the names of these things

BOOM! The return of JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE averaged 6.26 million same-day viewers Tuesday, despite not being available in nearly one-fourth the country’s TV homes. It appears to be Kimmel’s most-watched episode ever. www.vulture.com/article/jimm...

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

What I adore about Consume Me, one of the year’s best, is that it always fights the urge to make life more dramatic than it is. A girlhood coming of age story that lets its hero go with the flow instead of reducing her to a rock bottom cautionary tale. My review. www.polygon.com/consume-me-r...

i have seen exactly zero evidence to suggest that peter thiel is anything other than a dumbass who got lucky once

HAHAHAHAHA

Maria Steen not getting enough nominations to be in the Irish presidential election, and Robyn having a new album announced on the same day? Some gay is using their wishes all up at once.

CONSUME ME RELEASE DAY! if you grew up an ugly girl (bonus points if asian/mixed) you owe it to yourself to play! don't judge a book by its cover, the narrative design is also chefs kiss!! 🍎 🍌 🥦 🍫 store.steampowered.com/app/2359120/...

Happy Spaced day to all who celebrate and thanks to spaced for my entire personality. YEAHH boyeeeee!

I've posted many thoughts and clips about Jim Henson and The Muppets (feel free to go back & explore), but on what would have been his 89th birthday, I want to emphasize that for Jim, puppetry was a means to an end - just one of many mediums he explored to express his art…

Haven't seen this much talk about The Rapture since the NME in 2003.

Even though it's probably the simplest form of puppetry imaginable, and even though Henson is sitting right there and you can see him operating Rowlf and speaking his lines, this still looks like magic to me.

In Italy you have a much greater right not to be filmed and a right for your identity not to be distributed publicly on film/photograph, e.g. if you appear in the background of a photo of a riot in them paper, you could take legal action if it implied you were part of that riot. 2/

Okay, look, I want to explain a bit about this mystery of why Italians (and other Southern Europeans) are so much more up for rioting than people in the UK. The UK has over 7 million CCTV cameras. That's more than 1 camera per 10 people. London is the 3rd most surveilled city in the world. 1/

if rent *wasn't* more expensive than mortgage repayments, then landlords wouldn't be able to profit from getting other people to pay their mortgages for them, and then they'd have to get a real job

Just in case she makes it onto the ballot, it’s good to remind yourself who Maria Steen and the Iona Institute are - fundamentalist zealots who represent almost no one cos even most Catholics think they’re awful

right but why is the healing always at the expense of people in danger why can't the healing just this once be straight up nazis admitting they were wrong

This is happening to my district 😭 I live at higher level, I am safe. Hope people are ok 🙏 #ragasa #HongKong

Are you or someone you know skipping GDC (or considering doing so) because of worries about coming to the US/San Francisco in the current environment? If so, I want to hear from you for a piece. DM me here or kyle DOT orland AT arstechnica DOT com. Please spread the word
