Guess dude should've run for Staten Island borough president

holy shit lmao

i can't believe they have to play again today.

Ooooh is your internet broken. Did someone's immaterial web of financial speculation and surveillance turn out to have a failure point in material infrastructure

stayed up too late tonight finishing this, a fun time that i definitely recommend

This is why you need to not just mask, but mask consistently in public.

the phrasing here is like apple sauce for babies but a good reminder that wearing a mask is hands down the most effective way to keep yourself and the people around you safe from both "severe virus season" and the debilitating plague that hasn't actually gone away at any point in the last 5 years

happy october, here are my silly halloween stories about a scarecrow apocalypse on a dying webforum and its companion story about a corn maze apocalypse on a platform for reviewing corn mazes

havent posted about my streams with jack here very much, but im staging a hostile takeover for the month and taking us through the all-time classic immersive sim System Shock cyborgs, mutants, and rogue AI, tonight and every wednesday night in october at 8:30 Central twitch.tv/catgirlboyfriend

“What is unlawful is: genocide, the deadly blockade of Gaza, the use of starvation as a weapon of war, and the piracy of civilian vessels and abduction of all those on board.” 3/3

“Unarmed people of conscience, abducted in international waters. This is piracy. This is kidnapping. The flotilla did not break any laws." 2/3

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others. Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla: “People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.” 1/3

What might not occur to you upon reading this headline is that, in other words, ICE is targeting gay men of color Every queer press org should be picking up this story

I mostly agree with this, but more so: Any time spent on saying "they have incoherent politics" is probably better spent saying "what ideology, which policies, what social strategys have produced this violent nihilism, and what analogs do they have historically?"

Dutch late night TV has its take

Hey @support.bsky.team @safety.bsky.app I think your tagging probably isn't supposed to be visible. Just wanted to let you know!

Colombia is the first state to impose total energy embargo against Israel. This decision has to trigger further action across the globe. We call to pressure governments, institutions and corporations to end complicity with Israeli crimes and urgently impose effective sanctions. #BDSworks

This is the worst thing a banana company has ever done. Hang on, I'm being handed a note...

Evening rebroadcast: the NORCO physical release is now available to pre-order through Lost In Cult. You can get the base game or a special edition limited run with prints, a slipcase, a booklet, and more. Both options feature custom artwork by @esanchezill.bsky.social.

"COVID reinfection may raise risk of persistent symptoms by 35%" "U.S. adults reinfected with SARS-CoV-2 may be at a 35% greater risk for long COVID than those with one-time infections" #LongCOVID #COVIDisNotOVER #COVIDisAIRBORNE www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/cov...

it took like an hour for the official caves of qud discord to go from celebrating the game’s hugo win to debating whether the character mutation that lets you spontaneously summon a bunch of plants to fight on your behalf is good or not… which to me is its own endorsement of why this game is special

I'm old enough to remember a year or two ago when both "we're not killing journalists that's illegal!" and "We're not bombing *hospitals* for god's sake" were major talking points. Violations of these things now no longer seem to even register. Christ.

Canada is on the verge of adopting a national standard requiring N95s in healthcare—and your voice can help make it happen.

To this day PR people ask me if Intuit really asked me to delete this part of the interview and shake their heads in sad disbelief. My friends what we sell here is our ethics policy

Heartworm - the retro, fixed camera survival horror inspired game I have been working on for five years is out NOW on Steam. Please check it out if you're into that sort of thing! And if you enjoy it, leave a review as it really helps! Thank you store.steampowered.com/app/1257030/...

kinda fun to go “man this order is taking forever to get here, what’s up with that?” and then get a package with a return address in the netherlands

maybe i’ll reinstall death stranding and try skipping all the cutscenes

hey. if you want to do me and every queer artist you know the biggest solid possible today, this is it. please call (on the phone!) these companies and register a complaint. shame them for bowing to pressure from hate groups over sales of legal content and threaten to take your business elsewhere

I think the heartbreak of service industry is nothing will truly free you from sometimes being Customer. because Customer and Worker are more like commedia dell’arte roles we walk in and out of. Sometimes the Italian clown hat lowers from the ceiling onto you

I understand Bob's hesitation here about writing the negative book review, but if academics can't say that practices or work is bad in any way then what are we even doing here. Really appreciate the careful analytic work about why this stuff matters in this piece.

playing the new PUP for the pup

come improve your wednesday with some friday knights, tonight at 8:30 central!

so this is theft

I made a bunch of old but robust and simple HTML starter templates available for use/download 100% free: demos.theasterism.com/independent/... With the recent degradation/enshittification of Web 2.0, I figure now is the time. Return to monke. May be useful for Neocities in particular.

There are few things I cherish on this godforsaken Internet of ours more than Jack & Kat streams. If you're bored or need a break or just want something deeply pleasant on in the background -- this is soundly one of my top recommendations

hey so i don’t think we’ve actually done this since i start using bsky, but me and jack are returning to our Jedi Friday Knights (Now On Wednesdays) stream series in just one hour! come hang out and watch some Dark Forces 2! twitch.tv/catgirlboyfriend

it’s 🐝 yourself Friday, which today means there’s a new post on the blog. this is about FEAR AND HUNGER: its sexual violence and my conflicted feelings about it, its strange game bending bugs and mechanics, and your eventual mastery over its disempowerment. leavingtheparty.blog/2025/06/27/f...

just spent a frankly irresponsible amount of my work day devouring the preview edition. what an incredible work of art. a ttrpg/horror novel/philosophical treatise full to the brim with bleak despair and yet held together by and shot through with a love of the craft you can feel in every page

my favorite game of 2025 so far is going to be available on gamefound!! gamefound.com/en/projects/...

i just can’t emphasize enough how YOU and YOUR CHOICES and YOUR ACTIONS are as much public health as any piece of infrastructure we may or may not have left. wash your hands. wear a mask. you and your body break it chains of transmission ARE our pandemic prevention.

This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.

assisted dying is the only legal and moral issue for which public debate assumes we already live in sixtieth level post-scarcity communism and if you point out that we do not actually you are yelled at as being against autonomy and dignity and basic human rights. it has been truly brain breaking

NORCO, to me, is so representative of the artistic drive I love more than any other, which is having the goal of depicting the vibes and people of the specific environment wherein they are. Nothing like it.

having a hard time accepting this future of games media where the gaming space has accepted the must trustworthy source of information is not a diverse ecosystem of publications but professional spokespeople paid to tell you they like a thing

thats ok ea they were only some of the greatest video games ever made from a studio thats been putting out rally games consistently for 25 straight years

fandom (concept) and Fandom (corporate entity) are two of my greatest enemies

finished @miraongchua.com’s new book and i’m just sitting here with all these big feelings in my chest. comics are so good man, you really oughta pick this one up
