4Chan Christian guns-and-God conservatives plotted to bomb the MMA at the White House over the Epstein Files but were foiled when one of their moms overheard an encrypted voice chat when she delivered hot pockets to the basement where her son lives. Not kidding.

gender is not a binary gender is: a boolean, 0, 1, 2, "none", "limited", "full", "line-tables-only", or "line-directives-only"

Everyone loves Pokemon Go! The fun game where you find Pokemon in the wild! *10 years later* We regret to inform you that the data you generated by playing Pokemon Go is being used to vaporize schoolchildren.

With tomorrow being the 10th anniversary of @pixelatedboat.bsky.social's "Milkshake Duck" tweet, I think Pokemon Go might be one of the all-time great milkshake ducks:

Forgot to acknowledge last year that Tiger Lou — The Loyal came out in 2005, meaning the album had its 20th anniversary. You know, similar to how albums from 1985 would have had their 20th anniversary in 2005. This is, of course, silly — obviously 1985 was much longer in the past relative to 2005.

Where is *the* modern Arkanoid/Breakout-style game with Sektori aesthetics that is perfect on the Steam Deck? WHERE IS IT?

Having a got at my longest-active #Rstats package and out of curiosity I peeked the first commit, and well... 2014-07-01 Initial commit It's been a while, huh. This was basically my first vaguely proper R project 🥲

They murdered this girl, just like they hoped to. The people backing these laws have made it clear: they want the penalty for being trans to be death.

There are days when I miss being an editor. I loved writing headlines. Whoever did this, I hope they took the rest of the day off.

Wow: “The tooth’s hollow had been scooped out by a stone drill rather than by natural decay or wear… The findings indicated that the prehistoric patient underwent a deliberate Stone Age root canal, a discovery that pushes back the earliest evidence of intentional dentistry by more than 40,000 years”

Striking how the people most likely to believe there’s a little guy in there (about AI) are the same ones most likely to struggle applying a working theory of mind to actual human beings.

Watched the first few episodes of Paradise and I’m kind of surprised it wasn’t really on my radar. Seems to be very much in the ballpark of Silo, in many ways. Hope they don’t fuck it up.

How did this show make it on network television in the 90s? In episode 3, the give an elephant an enema, a family friend and teacher dies of a brain tumor, and a woman has to reflect on her unwillingness to continue dating a little person. That’s… extremely dense? trakt.tv/shows/picket...

The other day I scrolled past someone complaining about backblaze no longer automatically backing up local cloud storage folders (e.g. Dropbox etc) and .git folders. Had to chuckle because these are the things I had to make sure to exclude from my backblaze backups years ago when I set it up.
