The music industry is so broken that GALXARA - you know, Sway from the Birds of Prey soundtrack? SHE is unsigned and has been working as a waitress. This absolute banger only has 77k views on YT. She should be filling arenas by now youtu.be/GXPQYDoBDm4?...

So many people inside of a bubble need to know what they're doing to regular-ass schools, just like the ones their kids go to. I know most of them will never see it, but you have to hope *some* of it leaks into their world.

I thought for a second this was a character sheet for a new TTRPG called SNOWFLAKES.

Something I've seen in the discourse around Stranger Things is this sentiment that the response to the finale was in some way lukewarm, mixed or mildly disappointed and that didn't match what I had watched with my eyeballs. So I went looking for dats. imdb ratings have their biases but a good sample

you should already be doing this, but now's a good time for us regular degular folks to make a habit of resistance level op-sec

Faintly scared of all the Nintendo princesses/princess analogues. Peach, Rosalina and Pauline because they’re glamorous and powerful and competent and Daisy because she looks like she’d set my pubes on fire while I was asleep as a joke

We've gotten together w/@aaronmfking.bsky.social & some friends to host a 1 year jam, inviting folks to explore life & design through the lens of PbtA Moves The Make Moves Jam invites you to be intentional & irrevocable in 2026 This is a mega thread of those moves 1/x TTRPG.link/MakeMovesJam

In short, every shithead you don't ban costs you ten other customers. "A [potentially regular] customer doesn't say anything but never comes back" doesn't register with you as An Event the way that kicking someone out (temporarily or permanently) does, so it's extremely easy to miss it.

! Trans creators and activists are being targeted by the FBI. One, Tara, was told she was “propagating radical gender ideology” and “domestic terrorism.” Rose’s analysis: the feds are targeting politically engaged trans people to find something “illegal” to “make an example out of us.”

I don't think I actually posted my favorite albums of 2025. 1. Lily Allen: West End Girl I described this as "Michaelangelo's David Harbor Spread Eagle" so it can't be anything else 2.

“An industry that used to pride itself on publicly reporting security issues and openly disclosing vulnerabilities now circles its wagons to gang up on people who suggest that an AI tool shouldn’t tell children to harm themselves” Good read for an array of reasons.

I feel like a lot of people write off Stranger Things as empty nostalgia fluff - and it definitely leans on that and familiar tropes in its setup and aesthetics - but it can't be understated how much work it puts in to subverting those tropes over the following 4 seasons.

Since before he even ran, I observed that right wing strategy was like Jurassic Park's velociraptors testing the electric fences of law to see what they could get away with. Bombing civilian boats was another test. This is what they do when they discover the fences are off.

sigh, good morning

What was I saying at 4 am? Oh right.

Everyone who's ever said "He won't do that, it's stupid and/or illegal" has been wrong every. single. time.

I tried to make the Ghosts video topical, but not *this* topical. I don’t even know, man, I had a very unpleasant dream that all my toenails were falling off and waking up made me wish I could go back.

To be clear, these weren’t ticket sales because Netflix set up the contracts of the actors so they wouldn’t have to pay them for theater screenings. We can tiptoe around the wording however you want, but this was the studio continuing to profit off a bunch of former child stars with predatory terms.
