@househouse.bsky.social Hi! The press page for Big Walk says it’s for “2+” players and most folks online seem to assume it will be for 2-4, but any chance it will support 5 or 6 player sessions too? Or is that TBD? Thanks love you

hardly anything is on fleek these days

My wife built this amazing, singular two-sided quilt out of all my retired band / nerd shirts, so now I can swaddle myself in decades of memories, mosh pit sweat, and spilled PBR at a safe, homeopathic level any time I need

For fucks sake I’m just trying to see if my camping trip this weekend is still possible you illiterate fascist fucks

the cultural crisis is straightforward: there are no longer any formal consequences for blatantly anti-social behavior, and the rest of us are constantly just getting lectured that we have to put up with these assholes making our lives worse

The ceremony was just marvelous, extremely sweet, silly, embarrassing and triumphant all mushed up into one. Robin is just a goddess and our photographer Tiana outdid herself on all fronts

Quick question: what the fuck is anyone talking about anymore

they didn't do this when democratic lawmakers were targeted by a gunman. the mainstream media barely peeped when a Kyle Rittenhouse fan did a mass shooting at a Portland protest. Democrats and the mainstream media are just terrified of conservatives to the point where no one else's lives matter

"How Are the Very Rich Feeling About New York’s Next Mayor?" A Dramatic Reading of The Recent New York Times Dispatch from the Hamptons. Presented by The Gilded Age's Morgan Spector.

hey @matthewbogart.bsky.social & @churl.bsky.social, dunno if you saw, but Jeff Lemire recommended Incredible Doom in his listserv

Behind the scenes

"hes probably not dead" yeah no shit! shut the fuck up! im gonna spray you with a fucking water bottle!

They should do this to Stephen Miller when It Happens

Just seeing the first photos come in from the wedding

hmm i just checked my job title and it says "marketing operations manager" whatever the fuck that means. could you do me a favor and check yours real quick

every profile of a DOGE boy should include the number of people they’re responsible for killing

@atp.fm Hi fellows, huge fan of the show as always, but I do think Casey needs to retire “show me on the doll where…” jokes for preeeetty obvious reasons

We CT scanned thousands of vertebrates from US natural history collections and made them freely available. Countless people have used the data for research (>200 pubs) and to learn anatomy/morphology. www.morphosource.org/projects/000...

We had that Indian Pizza party last weekend, and after it, a friend sent me this: "We are obligated to create the social world we want. Intimacy, togetherness—the opposite of the crushing loneliness so many people seem to feel—are what parties alchemize." www.theatlantic.com/family/archi...

I saw Flavor Flav in the mirror

I am working on a little multiplay audiovisual thing for the @pigsquad.com Summer Slow jam, and would love to get a few playtesters running around in there when I have new builds, at least make sure the server works, and hopefully try some actual gameplay as I get that added.

Ok so when Microsoft was making the first Xbox I was doing Flash ads for them and they had an 800 page brand standards binder and when I used a green that was, and I quote, 6% off, I got my ass chewed out. Fucking losers now. Have some goddamn self respect.

Kamala Harris campaigned on making home care part of Medicare, which would’ve greatly eased the issue of caring for our parents. But Trump won so we not only didn’t get that, we’re getting devastation of nursing homes as well. This is going to ruin a lot of families.

Fuck everything about this. Right-wing ideology has no place in academia. There’s a reason it has to be forced in. Because right-wing ideas do not hold up under scrutiny. This is the erosion of higher education in America. The Powell Memo laid the plan out decades ago. www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is. In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol. And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Every time I buy any new iOS device, every *other* iOS device I own resurrects from the fuckin dead its obnoxious auto-replacement of “omw” (tranquil, savvy-90s-texter-coded) with “On my way!” (frenzied, uninvited-stressful-mother-is-coming-anyway-coded)

When Bill Clinton, major donors, and virtually every institutional player line up behind one candidate while attacking another as “too radical,” that IS the Democratic Party establishment trying to clobber someone. The fact that voters rejected that effort doesn’t retroactively mean it didn’t happen

After 104 days of being unjustly detained for his advocacy for Palestinian rights, Mahmoud Khalil is finally home with his wife and newborn son.

Remember how for like six years in the early 2000s computers actually mostly fucking worked

"Things might be tough but it's great for artists! They'll create more!" You might not believe me but going through a lifetime's worth of stress Every Single Week for years and years- is actually not the optimal set of circumstances that inspires artists to create

Was consumed all day at work by the fact that trump tweeted "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!" at Iran, which from any normal president would be hugely consequential and it wasn't even a story because the media has just sort of deformed itself into nihilistic acceptance of the fact that he's insane

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

When people talk about advances in technology unlocking a new frontier of human prosperity, I'm always skeptical. Efficiencies accumulate wealth to the wealthy. Only a change in values — a change in the distribution of prosperity — will improve the lives of non-wealthy people.

imagine being the person who wrote "Log back in to your account to continue your Oral-B brushing experience."

People across the political spectrum lately keep insisting that we deserve an apology from scientists and policy makers for not knowing everything about the novel coronavirus ... before we knew it. Like Speaking To The Manager of the pandemic so you can get some kind of refund for uncertainty

An astonishing statistic. And the fact that we created a world where that is virtually logistically impossible is a real detriment and very sad. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

lol why would they admit what time the change was made. who the fuck else is up at 3 am crying about white genocide in south africa

Men are not constantly being told “you’re bad,” they are constantly being told “LEFT WING SJWS THINK YOU’RE BAD” by conservative propaganda. There’s a huge difference.

Fascism is a lot of things, but at heart it's the political application of being a dumb asshole

If your Rep or Senator isn't capable of doing Van Hollen-style stuff — for cowardice reasons, or because they're infirm, or they're belatedly sucking up to a dying Trump movement, or really any other reason — you should primary them. It's gonna take a lot more stuff like this. All hands on deck.

the plan is to end American science research all of it, no exceptions other countries simply will not be able to fill the gaps here, this is just a shocking devastation of human scientific progress as a whole
