since bluesky is having a time here's today's song.

I can't believe @jaxlersr.bsky.social hit me with a pop-quiz in the green room for hotfix.

Day 7: I adore this song, it's such a bop. One of the things that really struck me when I started trying to catch up on 10 years of pony music is just how high quality pony songs are these days. The mastering and mixing doesn't sound like fan music it's incredible. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YdH...

The House of Hikmah releases today! You play as a fully-voiced Maya in Islamic Age dealing with grief in a cel-shaded 3D puzzle adventure. Played two hours of it last week, and interviewed wonderful developers/team. An ingenious puzzle game that uses findings of real-life Islamic scholars. PC.

So when the Moon Rises comes up in the daily pony song thread... I'm just gonna get ahead of the discourse. I prefer the original version to the extended version with Kristen Calvin. Both are genuinely beautiful, but in the end I much prefer the version without the extra verse. youtu.be/kPjVCIX5Fvs

This is still going on, and I've been mostly silent for a reason. But I don't care what side of this you're on, it seems like everyone in the discussion wants abusers out. Please keep in mind no matter which side you're arguing on, the goal is never to discourage people from reporting abusers.

I figured out a workaround for adding these videos to playlists, and it's so stupid that I'm almost convinced that restricting it from playlists was almost certainly a mistake on youtube's part. I 100% get no comments, but not letting people make playlists of videos for their kids seems WEIRD.

My bright idea of posting a pony song a day has already backfired on me. It's a not a problem of what song do I post next? It's more of WHICH ONE do I post next? The playlist I'm working on is currently over 400 songs and I have 2200 songs in the queue to listen to. I'm very normal about music.

Day 3: One of the most iconic pony songs. Back when pony musicians were truly starting to kick off in popularity Glaze (Formerly Wooden Toaster) produced this song which is still one of the most remixed songs in the fandom. I could do a thread on this song alone. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2z5e...

I'm not okay about this. Way too many people have too much emotional distance from our president threatening to murder 90 million people over oil.

I'm scared, fam. I'm worried he's so scared about the files he might actually do it.

I love how we all have access to the same news that says black women are currently unemployed at the largest rate yet ppl are still wondering why donation goals arent being met. Black women are the backbone of mutual aid.

Please be smart about what you post online

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

The two truths: 1) There is nothing wrong with porn, let people safely make it, let people safely enjoy it. 2) If you let people define porn as bad, authoritarians will ALWAYS expand the definition until their hands are around your neck.

checked instagram this morning - a news org I follow posted a photo of a mound of corpses, blown to pieces and dismembered, with zero content warning or filter. later this same day, I had a painting of a guy's ass get removed for violating content guidelines. just screaming into the void here

Day 2: Very early on in the pony fandom things settled into a few categories and didn't branch out more. Eventually people started branching out into every genre imaginable including the occasional Electro Swing piece like this one of the sisters taunting each other www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipxg...

Vaccines save lives. That’s it. That’s the post.

Last year I rewatched Utena and drew this poster. And... I think it's time to show it?? 🤺

Happy Ace Awareness Day! I'm an asexual author who really enjoys writing spicy romance. My recently released novel also has an ace love interest, because not enough fiction depicts people who don't experience sexual attraction and still enjoy sex

I’m beyond thrilled to share that I’m joining Games Done Quick as their new Creative Director. I’ve been such a fan and admirer of GDQ for what feels like a lifetime. It’s a sincere dream to take what I’ve learned from building Six One and bring it to these *unbelievable* events and daily streams.

Listen up nerds I get that ai didn't directly cause whatever server issue bluesky is suffering and I don't care. It is way way way funnier to see every pro-ai poster on here flipping out over jokes about ai crashing the site than to be factually correct lol

I've been building a new pony music playlist from old and news songs over the last few months. I'm going to post a song a day to share this incredible music. Day 1: Daea Lunae is a wonderful orchestration of the original MLP theme and the perfect place to start. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nby...

So what's the point of fast food again? I ordered carryout from the parking lot and then picked it up on the way home for $15 which is just about how much Wendy's costs these days. I miss when Wendy's was cheaper and higher quality.

We need to remove tech bros from society

I hate youtube's automated content moderation so much. A lovely song from 2013 on a small youtube channel that is almost certainly abandoned got flagged as "For Children" and because of that I can no longer add it to new playlists. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCvw...

Today on this Transgender Day of Visibility, I would rather be a little blobbo in bed instead of being visible. Help make our country safer for trans people to be visible and then maybe I'll go outside more.

If not wanting to raise taxes is a conservative position, then fine, but I don't want taxes raised because this country wastes the money they're already taking from me on things that nobody needs like DHS, ICE, and the commercial military industry.

Is there something I'm unaware of Boston about freezing stuff in ice for the cocktail so you have to let the ice melt on purpose? This has happened to me a number of times where I ordered a cocktail but one of the components was INSIDE the ice cubes so it's not present until it melts.

Was feeling a bit down, watched the last few episodes of Revolutionary Girl Utena again. God damn I love that show. It shouldn't make me cry every time but it does. If you haven't seen it, especially if you're GNC or Non-binary, you absolutely should. Foundational anime for me.

i’m still kind of shell-shocked and trying to figure everything out, but for some reason i was included in the layoffs at epic today. been there almost 9 years.

the steam sale dragon is too cute NOT to draw

On the topic of the continued nightmare that is video game development, I'd like to remind people that "layoffs" used to be considered a bad thing, a disastrous failure of the company, even. But now every company ever does it like every 6 months so the CEO can get a bigger bonus or whatever.

I was in multiple rooms at GDC where management of games studios let their hair down and said "everyone's using it, gamers hate it so we just have to hide it now", but none were actually able to explain if and how AI were making games faster to develop or better at all

What the hell did I wake up to? I'm just going to leave it at this and go back to my day off. Safety staff and policies have changed a lot over the years. So has management. If you think someone is unsafe to be at GDQ you should make a report. Even if you've made one in the past.

unbeatable will be on today's gdq hotfix! if its so unbeatable etc etc

Dropshippers on Etsy be like "Here's a really cute skirt in women's size 12" Check their store to see if they have other sizes and it's the only skirt they're selling. I miss when Etsy was a more usable website not filled with nonsense.

No joke cleaning my monitor made my score increase significantly.
