It's going to be so amazing being alive in 2026 because the front page will say "BREAKING Mamdani Received Free Cheese Pizza From a Local Vendor, Calls to Resign Mount" and then on page 3 you'll see "Hegseth's Pentagon Rape Dungeon Raises Legal Questions."

Three weird things about social websites: 1) If you run a a social website, you don't actually have to allow nazis and demagogues to sign up. 2) If the nazis and demagogues sign up anyway, you can kick them out. It sounds weird, I know, but it's totally a thing you can do! 3) If you've signed […]

Me: (Stops posting anything) Also me: Why don't I have any messages?

The only explanation for this is that these people would disprove the administration’s narrative about the identity of the people we are murdering. I’m a little surprised they didn’t just straight-up murder these two in custody. That’s who the government is now.

When you go to tomorrow's protests, make sure your phones are either off or on airplane mode. ICE and police use fake cell towers to figure out who's protesting. https://www.forbes.com/sites/the-wiretap/2025/09/09/how-ice-is-using-fake-cell-towers-to-spy-on-peoples-phones/ #nokings […]

An extremely common problem I have noticed among traumatized young adults who have difficult parents is that they don't realize they're adults. They reason about their parents as if they're still 8 years old and subject to absolute authority. If you're over 18 and live with your parents – […]

No-Intro provides an invaluable service to #emulation and game preservation, but whenever I try to organize my ROM libraries, I wish they were more consistent about what (Pirate) and (Unl) actually mean.

It’s wild the agents who have videographers following them never seem to have footage of what they claim those they are arresting did

Michael J. Fox on what made 'Back to the Future' so special: 'standing up to bullies' ☢️ 🎬 "It's just about one thing that's relevant right now: it's about bullies. It's about standing up to bullies. We live in a really bully culture right now. There's something about seeing the little guys […]

From the bad old site, in response to pro-immigration commentary from Cato scholars. I wonder whether there's something dangerous in letting presidents just arbitrarily declare one or another group to be a terrorist organization -- nah, I suppose that's alarmist.

A pretty cool thing about the Fediverse: It will still be around in a decade. Even two decades. Usenet still exists. IRC still exists. Email still exists. When you build platforms on open protocols and standards, it doesn't actually matter what corporations try and do to enshittify it. So long […]

ok, I'm seeing people (maybe begrudgingly) poke around over here after bluesky made some not so great moderation decisions, so as a reminder to everyone that's been here: **_please do not act smug about this._** bluesky worked for them and mastodon is totally different. there isn't any "wrong" […]

Went back to look, and even in Japanese magazines it's much more difficult to find features on the original Super Mario Bros. than I thought it would be. But here is one from ファミコン必勝本No.001 (1986年04月号) or Famicom Hisshoubon issue 1 from April 1986. This issue […] [Original post on retro.pizza]

40 years ago today, Super Mario Bros. released on the Famicom in Japan. It's not easy finding articles on the original Super Mario Bros. as there weren't a lot of magazines around at this time, but I did find a nice one. Feature on the Super Mario Bros. for the […] [Original post on retro.pizza]

I hate that unsubscribing from a YouTube channel, etc, feels like harming someone rather than just cleaning out the feed of stuff that you're just no longer interested in.

a little light Classical Chinese translation before bed because that’s what I’m like: Zengzi’s wife was going to the market when their son ran after her, crying. She said “Go home! When I get back, we’ll slaughter a pig.” When she came home, Zengzi went out to catch a pig. His wife stopped him […]

Gaming has matured in many ways in roughly half a century, but somewhere along the line we lost the ability to come up with proper genre names.

I still haven't forgotten when they wanted us to think the original Furby was intelligent.

Insofar as I know, "how to write a devastatingly withering resignation letter" is neither a topic taught in law school nor tested on the bar exam. These folks had to pick it up on their own. Here's the latest SDNY prosecutor resignation in the Adams case.
