If you're lookin' for a gift for nerdy people and they like kinetic toys, here's the ticket: www.amazon.com/dp/B0D8JFQP3Y www.amazon.com/dp/B0D8JF7QYL www.amazon.com/dp/B0FC6M2THD www.amazon.com/dp/B0FV85DJ5M These four sets can connect to each other and automatically feed marbles into one another.

Today is the day to tell a strange story. The long version we'll tell later, but the short version is this. In an attic, in his late great-uncle's house, @jon.inkle.co found a locked trunk. It took twenty years to open. Last summer he did. Inside was a wiring diagram, and a stack of books.

I bought a juicer yesterday, and I know what you're thinking. Maide, did you _really_ get that much juice from a carton of Oranges?

Father McKenzie Traded his assets for crypto But soon it went wrong Apes are all gone

EVERYONE SAY 🎉 HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIBO 🎉 My baby grandpa turns 9 years old today!!!

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

I just had a minor body horror experience. I have a self ear-cleaning endoscope device, which is basically a silicon grabber-tip with a camera in it. You can see inside of your ear and grab ear-wax from the view on your phone. There are several tip-ends for different kinds of cleaning.

Does anyone know what is going on with Pokemon TCG? I wanted to buy the Team Rocket set earlier this year and it's just.. never not been sold out? Did they just not make any of that one, or did it get scalped down to the core of the earth? 👀

The Epic Games store really be like: <last week> $0.67 expiring rewards balance queen 👀 <yesterday> $0.03 expiring balance tonight queen?? <today> $0.22 expiring rewards queen 👀

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

My last word on the matter

Refusing to admit that drugs won the war on drugs, which I guess means the CIA won?

More than 15 Senate Democrats join GOP to advance nationwide ban on hemp products, including CBD gummies,

TIL that blood platelets have serotonin receptors, which is why anemia can mimic depression symptoms and that is absolutely fucking fascinating.

Sichuan-pepper fried fish and sauteed green bean tacos. Life is good sometimes!

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Want to put some concrete good out in the world tonight? Make a lasagna for a neighbor who could use a homecooked meal. Don't know whom you would give it to? Sign up to volunteer with @lasagnalove.bsky.social and you'll get paired with a family in need in your community. lasagnalove.org/volunteer

Just Normal Software Engineering Error of the Day: [DAEMONIC PROCESSES ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE CHILDREN]

Really, really gross and disappointing. 🤢

On the one hand, when Viday O. James invented electronic gaming, they created a very successful career path for me. On the other hand, they indirectly invented Gamers, and maybe that's a sin that can't easily be forgiven... 🤔

makes me weep to think of the gifts robbed from us because unaffordable housing has made it difficult for people to pursue their passions and hobbies

Gee, I can’t imagine why…

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

This new Blue Prince ARG is kinda neat

Your opponent is rated 1300 🤪

YOU - “Our lives are very different from each other.” JOYCE MESSIER - “No doubt -- but we share the same time and position on the planet's crust. That counts for more than you'd think.”

I just saw that someone's cat is named Fortnite and lol. What we really need is a cat named Qud.

always enable cpu XD

My Mom just bought a new BMW for some reason, and apparently she even bought the turn signal package. The dealer said they'd never sold one of those, as people don't want it; had to get it special from the factory. Low and behold, the car does have turn signals, despite being a BMW.

ESPRIT DE CORPS - Kim Kitsuragi is a nice guy. Wish he was here right now.

Produced in 24 hours, done under a punishing deadline, no time to hang about - yet that image IS "The Thing" to me, and to millions of others as well, I suspect. Those images, those compositions, those posters ARE the films, in my head. What a talent. He'll be so missed.

Switching between programming in Python and C++ is wild. I have so many syntax errors from missing `()` parenthesis in C++, and so many syntax errors from missing `:` colons in Python. My brain does not like how different their syntaxes are, and my muscle memory is hurting me so bad right now. 😹

they don’t want you to know how they treat prisoners because it will grieve you to know it, which is natural and human, and because of your normal human reaction you will want the system changed. It’s important to them that your natural aversion to how the system works not be engaged.

When @aceottorney.bsky.social first told me about this I said "this could change people's lives and stop developers from getting exploited" and having seen the final resource, I think I was not wrong. I'd call it a must-bookmark for indie devs.

Shrek1 is an incredible movie.

To all researchers examining toxicity in games, please see Cale Passmore and Regan Mandryk's paper on "A Taxonomy of Coping Strategies and Discriminatory Stressors in Digital Gaming" I am frustrated by the repetitive loop of "discovering novel toxic behaviours" www.frontiersin.org/journals/com...

I bought a new mouse finally after 2~ years of using a semi-broken one and it's wild to be able to use a scrollwheel again, and for mouse-clicks to.. uh.. reliably click. Really shouldn't have put that one off so long lol.

This would be funny if there was not tens of thousands of staff on the line and family’s with a industry already suffering massive unemployment. Just hope those thinking this is a good idea fail so badly financially it becomes generational memory of how bad they they bet on this frankly silly idea

I wish there was a way to signal to the algorithms, that when I'm skipping a song, it's not because I don't like that song.

This whole section really.

Content creators tend to think any spectacle is defensible if they can say health and safety concerns have been attended to behind the scenes, but that’s not really it imho. Mr. Beast’s whole thing is that his subjects’ desperation for cash allows him—a wealthier person—to indulge his sadism.

I bet Weird AL hates it when people say "Weird AI".
