“What if a Silicon Valley-backed music streamer started giving huge paydays to musicians but banned them from performing live” is such a preposterous hypothetical that you don’t even get mad when you read it but that’s exactly what Netflix is doing to film

Almost certainly the best thing I was ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler at an owl sanctuary and he told me that the wild owls who lived near the sanctuary worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.

I'm gonna tell my kids this was Vampire Survivors.

Just some classic Zelda 2 gameplay that I felt like sharing.

Y'all. Please remember the artists that drew these things when sending around memes. I feel for these artists who NEVER get credited for these (and some, nowadays, are even being accused of being AI!) Here's a few common ones I see (feel free to add others, I want this to be a living thread): 🧵

Well, while it didn’t quite happen in the way I was planning, I have been let go from TheGamer after multiple years. It was a wonderful time with my incredible colleagues, but circumstances haven’t allowed that to go any further. As such, I am now open to any and all other opportunities!

On this May 4th I am remembering how in the short brilliant life of Cohost @dimosar.bsky.social made not one but two of the best Star Wars posts in history

As always, a rich man's answer to "what jobs can AI do?" is "not mine, but yours."

Hey this is really cool. A potter (baked_honey_ceramics on instagram) made a bowl out of my poem The Rules.

This deep sea creature is as sharp & clear as broken class, & can grow as long as your hand. This giant amphipod, (Cystisoma) only has two colored body parts: the dense orange stomach/egg pouch, & two MASSIVE eyes, which are a glittering holographic orange layer completely covering its head. 📽️ MBARI

i can't choose just one fav but i love that most indo-european langauges have a word for bear cognate with "ursus" but proto-germanic speakers found bears so scary that saying the name became taboo so they just call them "the brown one"

and they called it a waste of tax dollars back then, too

bsky too quiet? missing comments? not seeing posts from spicy artists? check your moderation settings and your bsky filters if you haven't configured these before, many of these will be set to hide as defaults

Fellow anime folks: I love y'all, but I'm never reposting your Substacks, given all the fucked-up baggage that platform has. This article details some of it.

You can tell mecha fans really don’t gaf about modern mecha because what do you mean there was an original mecha film with character design by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto that looks like THIS and nobody cared enough to fansub it.

let's be clear, let's be very clear, let's be incredibly clear about something: Marcia Lucas is why you love Star Wars. She's why Star Wars worked. She's why it has heart. She's responsible for the in-media-res beginning, she's responsible for basically everything charming and unique about >

STAR WARS would not exist without Marcia Lucas. If you think otherwise, you’re wrong. Her editing gave that first film the punch and vigor that audiences responded to. Along with Verna Fields, Marcia Lucas changed blockbuster filmmaking forever.

I think if Guillermo del Toro subtweeted me I would walk into the ocean immediately

Private business can't run a space program the same way termites can't run a lumber yard

One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

‪I'm here at GDC, the Game Developers Conference, a video games industry event held in San Francisco, California. Word on the street is that this lot of nerds have done the impossible. They've made an entire building, like the one behind me, inside a blender. My question is how and why?

US government: Chinese cars are a security risk! Ford: we would like to import them as Lincolns. Google: we’d like to buy their EVs in bulk as Waymo’s. US government: of course, do whatever you want! It’s time to put this “rules for thee but not for me” era behind us. bsky.app/profile/d2lo...

I would be remiss not to point out that "Tricking Milli Vanilli into performing a concert for a dictator" is LITERALLY a storyline from the 1990s 'Super Mario Bros 3' cartoon 🙃

This is just the first mockup but I decided to make myself a tshirt so people will stop fucking talking to me about how much they love AI

Ai is only "seductive" if you're lazy and weird. "It's inevitable, just let it happen" "AI is like having sex and they hand you a baby" "AI is seductive as hell" "we must convince AI it's our mother" These people need to be in therapy not destroying our planet and art

Anyone know of any trans ladies who might be interested in volunteering to sing for a punk rock rhythm game I'm working on?

This is a really ballsy speech by student reporter Santiago Campos, winner of the Mike Wallace Memorial Scholarship ($10,000) and worth watching in full.

At the older child’s last school concert, and the jazz band is playing Tank! and doing a pretty decent job of it, so I guess the kids are alright
