Throughout May, I am participating in a large group fundraiser supporting Lupus Foundation of America. While it's something that I'm doing primarily on Twitch streams, it probably wouldn't hurt for me to post about it here as well. tiltify.com/@pogofury/go...

You're about to see headlines saying abortion pills can't be shipped. THAT IS NOT TRUE You can still get abortion pills by mail to all fifty states. Some providers will switch to miso-only, some will ship both mife & miso. I got into all of this when the federal court ruling first dropped:

Story in 3 acts etc. I'm skeptical about the apology being sincere as opposed to grudging damage control, since their contest was presented as ai-specific, rather than ai-permitted.

Read it. This is important.

New: Stay extended in the big mifepristone case until Thursday at 5 pm ET. Few more days, at least, of mifepristone being available through telehealth/mail before the Court will decide whether it stays available as usual while the case plays out

King shit

Officials discovered two industrial-scale water hookups feeding a data center campus located 20 miles south of downtown Atlanta. One water connection had been installed without the utility’s knowledge, and the other was not linked to the company’s account and therefore wasn’t being billed.

Always love to be reminded of this. A lot of it was hand-stitched too. Really amazing, precise work. Women’s work is so often minimised and forgotten.

The lineart for my drawing is included (as a 2-page spread) in this charity coloring book with game-themed lineart pages from over 20 artists. It's available in both a physical and a PDF version, and 100% of proceeds go to Lupus foundation of America

I made a couple blorbos for my portion of a collaborative art project earlier this year: Vicky (platypus) and Cynthia (snake). The short version of the fake lore is that they were the stars of a forgotten/canceled PS2-era 3D platformer collectathon

pouring one out for a homie. Thank you, Jeeves.

While I would LOVE to be able to automatically filter out games on Steam that used ai in development, the addition of such a filter would just incentivize developers to lie about it even more than they already do.

Bring back the ancient knowledge

Since it's come up, I really do think people have forgotten just how monumentally shitty it was when every square inch of public space smelled like a fucking ashtray

Can't stop singing this to the theme of the Muppet Show

All these game studios keep saying don't worry, we're only using genAI to slop up *the* most creativity-demanding part of making the game. "Don't worry bro, I'm only using dogshit in the broth, just the soup stock has dogshit bro, it'll be strained out bro"

Today today's the last day to get all three fantastic thinky puzzle games in the Baba's Sausage Expedition - Puzzle Game Masterpieces bundle on special offer Roll a sausage, chop down trees, and change the rules. store.steampowered.com/bundle/16473...

This one is old but not old enough to be included in the Nerd Inferno omnibus. The saddest thing about it is that it isn't just for freelancers anymore. Good luck to us all.

If you're going to handle your feature film universe the same dependent continuity as TV shows, then it's your responsibility to bookend your feature-length episodes with "on the last episode of Marvel Cinematic Universe: "

The reason Trump pressured Republican led states to redraw their election maps without voter approval is because he knows his policies are unpopular. He knows Republicans will lose without map rigging. Virginia can vote YES for fair maps to stop him tomorrow. #VoteYesVirginia

Happy 10th Birthday to Stephen's Sausage Roll! 🎉

We spent years dragging Dreamworks for doing the same smug face year after year, but at least they bothered applying it to different facial structures. Back in my day, you made an earnest product and then the smug face was added later when the character was licensed to the back of a denim jacket

For a while, seeing "unc" get turned into "old (derogatory)," I wondered if I was having a Mandela Effect. Evergreen reminder that "internet youth slang" is extremely frequently AAVE, often misused, sometimes consciously co-opted and sometimes just picked up organically in mixed online spaces

Awesome bundle that I can't get because I already own all 5 games: Fez, Outer Wilds, Tunic, Animal Well, Blue Prince if you like exploration/discovery & figuring stuff out yourself, give it a look store.steampowered.com/bundle/70688...

Ban this shit from your life. Seriously. Boycott. And keep away from your kids.

If you filed for an extension and have extra time to do taxes, don’t go with TurboTax. Go with FreeTaxUSA.com. You can file Federal for free with a schedule C as a gig worker on a 1099. State costs like $14.

Boycott Target because their AI might randomly and falsely accuse you of theft and then have you arrested and upend your life.

I'm surprised that this Kickstarter by animator/storyteller Frank Abney (Spider-Verse, Soul, Coco, Big Hero 6) isn't fully funded yet. A Black western? Count me in: www.kickstarter.com/projects/fra...

THREE NEW HAPPY CUSTOMERS TODAY love this for me istg converting people from TurboTax to FreeTaxUSA is the only real evangelism I have ever done in my life

Co-founder of Graveyard Keeper dev Lazy Bear Games regularly posts AI art & asks for help with AI gen code Going as far as feeding his own games art into the slop machine The game itself is from 2018 so it predates the stuff, but they announced a sequel & I expect it to be full of AI-gen slop
