Placing a layer of algorithmic recommendation on speech does not make speech less free, but it does pervert it. Algorithmic mediation turns speech into a resource extracted from human behavior. Platforms do not value speech because it is protected, they value the service it provides them.

I'm in love with this little thing, had no idea emulation handhelds were this good now

Basically nothing matters until you can finish a comic. Doesn't have to be long but I talk to so many people who ask how they can pitch to a publisher and I'm sorry but the abstract idea isn't important. Publishers only want to know if you can do a beginning, middle and end and get it done on time.

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

this isn't as fun as some others BUT if you're sharing your comic for free, someone's gonna complain about something unimportant at some point, the schedule, the style, a color choice etc. and I NEED you to know that you can tell them to give you a million dollars to do it to their specifications

House, M.D. on the Nintendo DS seems to be entirely driven by .xml files, uses normal .png files for textures, and normal .wav for its sounds. If you were so inclined, you could probably easily put together a ROM hack that adds new cases or even make a total […] [Original post on wetdry.world]

Perhaps the most politically important thing about Zohran Mamdani is that it seems like he really, really likes New York and New Yorkers.

I do think that a possibly underrated dynamic in The Horrors is that the Right as it has reconstituted itself under Trump legitimately can’t understand sincere moral or physical courage

I know that Incredibles 2 is really contentious as a sequel to the original, but NGL, Dicker saying "Politicians don't understand people who do good simply because it's right. It makes them nervous." lives rent free in my head.

Massachusetts folks: I made these stickers sharing LUCE's ICE hotline ☎️ 617-370-5023--they verify sightings and share confirmed info. Stickers fit 1"x2.6" label (Avery 5160). Image below or follow link for a full sheet. Print, stick every&anywhere. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/7v098...

a cold weather tip from my childhood in Rochester: alternate layering. Im wearing one pair of light socks, over that are a pair of leggings, over that a pair of heavy socks, over that my pants. Do this with hats, hoods, gloves, etc, really helps with wind, keeping out snow, and your layers in place!

I guess when you're a coughing baby... everything starts to look like a hydrogen bomb...

Cataloging student notebooks from the 1820s today. A student 200 years ago started drawing animals on the blank pages he had left:

New tank! 20 gallon long

Yea

each of us contains the full genetic instructions for both testosterone & estrogen driven hormone loadouts (along with varying combos of both) this can be changed at any time. our genes will even start expressing themselves differently within ~3-6 months. this is an existential threat to fascists.

The entire creative industry to the entire creative class every day of 2025:

"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

I think a lot about something I heard in an anthropology class about the anthropology of medicine: “you can’t treat trauma when people are still in the middle of the traumatic event.”

As some games use A/I to cut corners, we went the other way. #InkInside is a hand-made blend of 2D, 3D & live-action with a heartfelt story & people, ESPECIALLY kids, are taking notice. Our TikTok hit over 500,000 views this week! Kids don’t want A/I Kids want something real #IndieGame #IndieDev

Love when people involved in projects are VOCALLY anti-ai. We need more of this. 💙

rip gainax, you ended in a weird convoluted way that pissed a lot of people off

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls. What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

I just learned about Strawberry Switchblade (Scottish band of the 80s) and I'm REALLY excited about whatever this is. Like a polka-goth, fashion girls who hate you vibe? I grabbed like 100 reference images of them I don't even know why I just feel like it's important.

Why is everyone addicted to gambling, wtf. Adverts for any type of gambling should just be banned everywhere. That includes sports betting, prediction markets, cryptocurrency, trading individual stocks, and gacha games.

I think even if you primarily get around by car, it's important to take children on public transit once in a while just so they get to experience situations of parity with you as a parent. It's not something being done for them or to them but something you're doing with them together.

When people pay in cash at shows that money literally buys my groceries. I don’t put it in the bank I just pay cash for all my food, it’s great. Direct action. That 20 bucks you gave me is going straight to winco in a few days and ima turn it into bananas and bagels.
