sometimes the extremely popular and oversaturated thing is that way because it really is that good. such as it is with the MM2 wily stage 1 theme

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

New management sim just dropped

Every day, I do things. And yet, without fail, the following day, I am expected to do additional things. This is some bullshit

i’m so old, i remember when going on the internet made you smarter

The human brain was optimized for: • Gossip in tribes of 150 • Tracking berries vs. poison berries • Running from tigers Now we use it to argue online with strangers about macroeconomic policy. Evolution’s patch notes are a mess.

I've worked 4 days in an office this week and it feels like it was 4 weeks. I don't know how anyone goes into an office 5 days a week. I don't know how I used to.

JOYCE MESSIER - “Of bodies of water and forest-covered surfaces, clusters of light where the cities lie. You've seen the montage, we all have -- this world is enough,” she concludes. CONCEPTUALIZATION - It *must* be. This is the greatest and kindest arrangement the atoms had in them.

rough day. not much I can do. so here's a frog.

Helpful #gamedev tip -- When saving your game, if you're overwriting a previous save DON'T open that file for write access. Depending on OS and your library and moon phases, this may set up for corruption if the program is interrupted. Instead, save a new file and rename it to overwrite.

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

It had been over 5 years since I spent a day working in an office, and I gotta say the newest LED lights are quite nice. Plus I kind of missed the hum and HVAC system. Tomorrow will be busier though so we'll see how that goes.

I don't think that the point being made is incorrect here, but also people are so bad at estimating statistics that if you showed them a board of 10 colored circles where 1 is blue and asked them what percentage is blue, they'd say 20-40%. That is the percent for "more than none but less than half"

I like my fridges dumb, young, and full of plums

hey so i never want to hear someone say “racism is dead,” again, k?

Just like Alexandra Erin's frequent point that if ANY person loses due process, YOU lose due process (bc without it you can't prove you're not Them) If trans people lose gender rights, everyone loses gender rights

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

I love the people I follow who have a rotating cast of ridiculous usernames. It makes the doom scrolling give me a smile when I look at who retweeted an anger inducing political post and have to think, "who the hell is Big Sexy Hamburger?"

One less thing for me personally to worry about in this dumpster fire world: I landed a job and start next week. The job market is hell out there. Everyone still navigating it has my sympathies.

Happy 36th anniversary to Nine Inch Nails' first release (Halo 1), "Down In It"

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

I didn’t know people made memes this good any more. I didn’t know this was allowed.

minor nb: I don't think it's his lack of intelligence in play here so much as wilful ignorance. Not that I think he's smart, fuck no, but I think it's worth being very clear in the fight against fascism that it's not clever people versus dumb people, it's a lazy, craven, vicious *refusal* of reason.

Hell, Rowling is a warning to us all as to how insidious that smart/dumb framing can be, how the self-serving self-image as smart, wrapped up in its little Hermione fantasy of speshulness in a meritocracy, abjecting the dumb as essentially so, is a pipeline to classist & ableist *wilful ignorance*

Walked out of a coffee shop this morning and did a double take as I overheard someone say on a phone call, "Czechoslovakia and Copenhagen aren't even a thing anymore." Friends, I had to go search Copenhagen to make sure there wasn't something rotten in the state of Denmark.

Godzilla! Still love how this one looks with the individual scales and crazy details :)

SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL IS GOING TO HAPPEN

I love your art!! I do similar stuff (but I use the aid of graph paper) and have often thought about making a coloring book!

Still thinking about how wild it is that Ozzy got to host his own funeral party and go out on his terms

We have gotten so used to clean food that a bunch of idiots now assume that's just the way food comes.

Direct your attention to the Y axis here. In 1800 nearly 50% of children born died before they reached their 5th birthday. When you see a graph of how much life expectancy (average age at death) has gone up, remember that it's because so many data points of 0-5 years don't exist anymore.

Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about

The song Mony! Mony! hasn't played nearly as big a role in my life as my high school pep band experience prepared me for

Home Chef recipe: Let oven preheat, at least 10 minutes Oven: *plays tune that will be stuck in my head for a week when it is correctly heated*

I'm slightly scared to open Instagram because the ads for clothing there always tempt me. (medieval cloaks/hoods and blanket cloaks)

need people to stop making technology inspired by Star Trek (smooth, sleek, no buttons, all screen, voice activation, extremely minimal, wireless) and start making technology inspired by Star Wars (clunky buttons, indicator lights on everything, ugly, indestructible, fat cables that emit steam)

I'll stop posting it when these guys learn to read. There’s no such thing as the ‘Dark Ages’, but OK – Going Medieval share.google/Ul4nzhXimUUo...

all I'm saying is that calling the collection of letters the "alphabet" is like calling numbers "onsie twosies"

I finished The Saint of Bright Doors by @vajra.me today, and this is an appreciation thread. I’ve never read anything like it. It’s both gigantic and minutely detailed, both astutely critical and full of love. Nothing I can say can do it justice, and if you haven’t already read it, you should!

Someone in comments (and now I can't find the actual comment, sorry) said the best Star Wars trilogy is now Andor, Rogue One and Star Wars Ep 4, and you know what, I'm here for that argument, call it the "Death Star Trilogy"

walking down our web lined alley every morning like "orrrrrrb weaver, got what it takes to weave me through some orrrr-bs"

Imagine a picture here of Minecraft Steve with a speech bubble pointed down to the quoted post

I miss the days of "we train an AI on the names of colors and then asked it to name these colors". And then the color names were like "blorpus"
