Altered Beast was the second arcade board I ever owned and to this day the ending still delights me Look at that, dude's all "Yeah sorry, I had to turn into this wolf thing to come rescue you" and Zeus' daughter is all "No no no you're fine, no trouble, all good"

I was raised to believe we live in a just world, and I had convinced myself that if I was LOUD enough and EXPLAINED enough what had happened, people would understand and help. Instead people punished me, both for "inviting" the attacks and for disturbing them with the story.

After nine years, my cat Anu is _finally_ willing to eat treats out of my hand. I am a patient man. I wait. I wait. I wait. #tinyvictories

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

What ingests large quantities of data, applies some math and outputs a much smaller set of data that can still be used to reconstruct what was ingested? Compression algorithms, right? And some of them compress *so much* that data can only be extracted partially and the rest needs to be "guessed" […]

I met Dr. David Ho! He’s responsible for the fact that HIV is no longer a death sentence and his work has saved tens of millions of lives. Why he doesn’t have a Nobel Prize is beyond me. AMA.

## Write Disney a LETTER. WRITE DISNEY-ABC A LETTER TODAY. Not email, don’t @ them on social media – or do that, that’s fine, but it’s not a substitute. It’s not as good. Do that too, but mostly… WRITE DISNEY A LETTER. On PAPER. Put it in an ENVELOPE and […] [Original post on solarbird.net]

PSA: in about three hours I will be shaving for the last time for the autumnal equinox, in order to allow my full winter coat to grow unimpeded. The next full shave will be March 20th, at about 15:30. If you meet me during the winter months, do not be alarmed. I am usually non-aggressive and […]

"Our government is being run by aggrieved elites who were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else in the 2010s, where they could finally read what we all think about them.

Does anybody know the name of the trope that goes like this: - setup: protagonist gets shitfaced before social event - actual trope: protagonist feels like they put on a GLORIOUS show (I remember at least two cases of dance routines) when they finally let go - fun part: the dance routine was […]

I don't like this chewing gum at all. Luckily the taste disappears in 30 seconds.

Attention Gen Xers and boomers with registered domain names 🚨 If you, like me, put a fictitious organization in your domain name registration 25 years ago because NetSol or ICANN did not allow you to leave that field blank, recent policy changes will make that organization name the *legal […]

I try not to go on reddit very often but sometimes there's a thread so carcrashy that I just can't help but rubberneck at the horror of it Lesbian couple mid-30's, poster says they've got an old house with frequent leaks in the plumbing and her wife texted her about the last one and then got a […]

Fascists claiming they're "Protecting Woman and Girls" yet they never acknowledge any of this stuff, it's like they don't actually care about Men predating on Girls, so long as they're White and Rich. Not a peep out of that crowd when Trump visited, they adore Rich White Paedos, don't they? […]

Something that bothers me a lot is when people conflate "having compassion and understanding for people who hate you" with "letting people who hate you do whatever they want to you". It's possible to have firm boundaries and to take urgent, protective action while also believing that everyone […]

npm was a mistake. the concept of pulling live dependencies that are not collectively managed by a QA team but each individually managed by many thousands of people with wildly varying skill and availability is inherently doomed to constant incidents.

Boycotting the Eurovision is cool (especially because Israelis *really* care about the Eurovision) but this, right here, is another level

This is a Dystopian timeline: My wife was let go after 25 years working for the same bank this morning. In an apparent oops, the bank's IT department hard wiped ALL her IOS devices remotely, while she was on the road driving, relying on the GPS function. The screw you cherry on top? Our […]

I find people "on the left" - that is, open, non-bigoted, not full of nonspecific hate towards categories they don't know and don't interact with - seem happier, and they seem happier even even things are shit like they are now. The others, the fascists and their friends, OTOH, seem desperate […]

As a consoling thought, when you look outside of the so-called "Western World", it becomes clear that #fossifuels have already lost. The surge in #fascism around here is in part a last-ditch effort to prop up a failing business model. This might "work" for a while, but it can only delay the end […]

When somebody says "I can't use Signal because it's too complicated and I already have WhatsApp" tell them the parents at my kids' school decided to make a Signal group to keep in touch. THE PARENTS. A SIGNAL GROUP. Can you be less tech-savvy than a bunch of parents? No you can't, no you can't.

These checks are - racist - arbitrary (as they check trains more than other modes at Kehl) - costly (labour intensive) - inefficient (why not check while a train is moving?) - ineffective (the pedestrian bridge at Kehl isn’t checked) - annoying (they delay everyone) Could you imagine anything […]

Just for hopefully-not-future-reference: If I should happen to be killed by a gun-wielding assassin, feel free to politicize it immediately. No waiting period required on my account.

I'm a fucking rebel. Today I decided to take a shower and *then* spray on some Aramis. And if you ever smelled Aramis, you'd know that's not the normal sequence of events. (Ps: I'm now officially the manliest man in my household)

The incinerator at an animal shelter, in Montana, is typically used to dispose of euthanized animals. The executive director said she “did not know they were disposing of extremely dangerous narcotics onsite.” Fourteen workers were taken to a hospital. This is Kash Patel’s FBI.

I just re-watched The Amazing Maurice with my children (who loved it, yays!) and I have two comments: 1. I would be VERY happy with a Narrativia-led adaptation of the Wee Free Men 2. The Rat King is (algo-driven) social media. #gnuterrypratchett
