Great piece! A thing I really appreciate about floating around non-fiction spaces is that when someone says they enjoyed a book about a topic, they get similar recommendations that are like 30 years old and probably at the library rather than finding out about an upcoming book with no release date.

“Please enjoy the museum”: Relooted is OUT NOW! Please share!

for folks who maybe don't watch super sentai let me direct you to one of the greatest of all time (so good in fact that even the US adaptation basically stuck to all the major beats). www.youtube.com/watch?v=39ih...

Throwback to something worth repeating.

Bandcamp Friday alert: it's Bandcamp Friday, right now, and for like 22 more hours. Get some music, pay some artists.

i got a few "i don't get it, ICE might be going too far but don't we have to have a way of removing illegal immigrants?" type responses to my charity drive announcement video and the answer there is no you do not. nobody illegal. don't care what the law says

Well, here we go: a fresh new printing of Who Shares the Restroom Code with ICE Agents? and a new follow up booklet from Public Collectors: What You Agents Are Doing In Your Hotels. Both are now available ($6.00 each): halfletterpress.com/what-you-age... halfletterpress.com/who-shares-w...

Oh I like this dude a lot. #CosmicPrincessKaguya #超かぐや姫

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

new blog post about: makin' it easier to integrate elaborate (or not) contextual character animation stuff into gameplay in @sleightofhand.game. Like all the best shit, this is not so much technically impressive as workflowily excellent. www.joewintergreen.com/contextual-a...

"support indies" has become an annoying catchphrase that ignores a lot of material factors but i also understand why it's caught on among the normie youtuber game playing crowd, because this is the alternative presented by what's left of the mainstream.

Have a lot of mixed feelings on the mostly modern push towards extremely 1:1 adaptations so decided to get on a podium and soapbox about it

a delayed game is eventually good but a canceled game that never comes out and had cool promotional material will be good forever

feel like this is one of the bigger labor stories of Our Current Regrettable Age variety.com/2026/gaming/...

When I still wrote my newsletter, I realized quickly that reviews are a sucker's game. They take forever, are hard to monetize, and nobody reads a review for an obscure game. You can spend hours playing something and come out with nothing interesting to say

whether you use this quitting porn app or not, these app developer bros profit off people’s vulnerabilities and do not care about exposing your info

SONIC ORIGINS (Available as prints/posters!) #Sonic #SonicTheHedgehog

Level selection (data based on my #pico8 levels) in place for my #picotron #gridrunner game. This is "vanilla" mode (the power-ups are just tests in this mode at the moment). Can't wait to get some meaty sfx in place! #gamedev #retrogaming #c64 #arcade

I ported Super Monkey Ball to a website. You can access it in the replies. (or just type what you see in the video, I'm not your boss.)

Genuinely the only thing keeping me going—but it really is keeping me going—is how good it is to see people link arms and push for this to end. I cannot stop thinking about how much love people can have for their neighbors, and how much work and money is poured into breaking that love apart.

don't see it on socials yet, so takeaways from The City's vital reporting on "Code Blue" for NYC unhoused: Shelters, Drop-ins, safe havens & ERs all tasked with accepting walk-ins. 311 may involve agencies you don't want, so work directly with the person if possible www.thecity.nyc/2026/01/22/f...

having one of those nights where it's a struggle to feel any worth in your creative output. I know I'm literally falling for the "why are you comparing yourself to the collected mass of the internet" pitfall, but it still eats at me.

She apologized for ATTENDING THE GAME because ESPN put her on TV. What the fuck. No issue with how the viewers recognized her of course. No problem to be a man who watches porn but if you attend a college football game and some horny dicks recognize you then you must apologize.

now that 1.0's been out for a bit, wanted to share some of my contributions to Hades II! had the pleasure to work with the team for the past few years - not comprehensive at all but here's a small sampler of icons and small illustrations that can be found across the game

oh i had this realization once

We’ve decided to make this story free for all readers, forever. We hope you’ll support this reporting by sharing it.

For MLK Day on @letterboxd.social I decided to do a list of essential Civil Rights and Black Liberation movies.

I was just at a comedy show and the guy next to me says "wow, he's really funny" and his buddy goes "yeah, but that's only because it's his job." I'm going to be thinking about this comment a lot

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

We all we got.

hey yall, a good friend needs help with vet bills as she works to find a more conclusive diagnosis for her kitty - any help/shares are appreciated: gofund.me/1ade9e896

Better late than never: here's a 2026 Media Thread! Actually pretty happy with how well I kept up with 2025 seeing as it was my first time, so we're back at it again this year

I love Quiz & Dragons so much and now I want nothing more than an English Translation patch for the japanese version it

it's funny to see the wildly unpopular trump and his goons rip the wiring out of institution after institution without a care in the world and have NYT guys and congresspeople being like whoa dudes let's not get too crazy with the abolish ice talk

wow, didn't think the competition for "Worst LinkedIn Post of 2026" would be so competitive already

Younger than my grandmother. What you think/what feels like distant history is not that far removed from you.

take a second to really wrap your head around this.

I've been excited for (and getting little peeks of) Game Poems for a little while now and now it's out for everyone to see! "see", which is to say that you, the person reading this, should aside an hour or so and play through these games.

I MADE IT INTO VOTING! PlllZZZZ HELP ME CLUTCH OUT MY DREAM. Thank you everyone, I couldn’t get my inspiration without y’all! www.streetfighter.com/6/buckler/en...

#PortfolioDay My name is Sabaku, I'm a german based gamedev and artist, who worked on bangers like #Skellboy #Bubsy4D and #DemonTides . I feel familar in multiple mediums like Pixelart, 3D Asset Production and digital conceptart. I'm planning to open commissions somewhat this year!

they know what they're doing. their entire deal is grabbing hold of words & wrenching the sense out of them until they're flat, then filling it up with their own silly string & libels. the term for it is epistemicide & it's a weapon they use deliberately, not a result of illiteracy or confusion.
