Me when my opponent won’t stop complaining about their sealed pool: Oh wow, I didn’t realize they reprinted Kvetch Lands

Somewhere, right now, a new culture is independently deriving tarof from first principles and sentencing a thousand boyfriends to the "when my mother offers you tea and sugar, you must refuse twice before accepting" talk.

Enough for eight years of the NSF budget. Which investment do you think would more efficiently improve the lives of humanity?

Sorry, "programmer socks"? No, no, you're quite mistaken. The dominant stereotype of trans women is that we own bars, are on a first name basis with everyone important and are called 'Madame'

Second Lorwyn prerelease went 2-1! Though the store had a lot of newer players and limited is really hard. But the only bombs I had were three temple gardens so I'm pleased with the performance. Gangly Stompling is super cute and carried me!

Lorwyn pre release down! Went 1-1-1. Some wild stuff in this set, and the Eclipsed creatures always feel backbreaking when the opponent resolves them

crazy how Attack Of The Clones predicted this

the academic publishing industry is so borked. Why would it be faster to pirate my own advisor's articles than to access them through the journal??? vampiric institutions--we already do the big-picture editing and peer review...

over the course of 1871, congress held seven months of hearings on ku klux klan and other white vigilante violence in the south, they took detailed testimony from hundreds of black men and women attesting to klan terror. (1/?)

“Why one small American town won’t stop stoning its residents to death,” an AO3 fic in which Isaac Chotiner interviews the guy who runs the lottery in Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery”, is astounding. archiveofourown.org/works/73396436

Let your investors be your jesters at the rugpull of success

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

By way of community outreach, all astronomy conferences must reach out to the local furry community and the LOC should bring in furry ambassadors to heighten dialogue between these two strategic communities

forgot to add salt to my sourdough loaf, and wow, this sucks so much. It's worse than bland; it's like it absorbs and annihilates the flavor of anything you put on it

whoever decided to use kappa for thermal diffusivity and k for thermal conductivity is a psycho. I feel that I've been punked

“Everyone has their own method of coping, some more effective, or self-destructive, than others...” He gives you a meaningful look.

enourmously, frustrating that a numpy array of floats for the integers 1-1e9 spaced by 10s is O(1-2GB). "why is my simulation running out of memory? it only stores the current and previous timestep!??? "it's because you told it to record output for time values in the array np.linspace(0,1e9,10)"

liking the kakegurui anime too much

The most unsubtle, heavy-handed claims made by pomo academic types have turned out to all be true. Gender is a relation of domination that requires constant, affirming witness. Capitalism will require extractive colonial relations. There’s no subtlety. Every day is like a 101 seminar at Oberlin.

Damn, thinking about how good the back third of JoJo part 4 was. Hoy damn

I really really wish Judy's questline in cyberpunk 2077 wasn't such a downer. Panam gets a romp, River a high-stalrs detective adventure with a happy-ish ending. Judy gets "all my friends are dead, wanna kiss about it?" It comes off like V, an unkillable god at this point, is taking advantage of her

it's shit out there, but mtg is returning to lorwyn after ~20 long years, so I will be engaging in some consumerist nostalgia for a little while

In an alternate universe without cheerios bagels and donuts, explaining what a torus is to students would be a bit of a challenge

If not for 9/11, smartphones would have a little slide out knife built-in

Between Abe, Kirk, and various others, it seems to me that assassinations accomplish their political goals far more often than I thought. Probably not good on the whole for more and more people to believe that... I guess the killdozer guy didn't get what he wanted

Recently got the chance to try cyberpunk 2077 with ray tracing. Wasn't expecting to be too wowed, as I don't usually notice graphics (I think Dishonored 1 is the best looking game ever), but the first time I saw a crystal clear reflection of a sign behind my character, I actually gasped in shock

Played my first Ace Combat game (7), and I feel that if I had played it's predecessors 10 years ago, it would have completely rewired my brain

Why is every post on my timeline about the Avatar films? Did Cameron kill someone?

billions of dollars and everlasting fame to whoever figures out how to stop webpages from loading new elements just as you’re about to click on something

Being a homeowner is the Linux of housing

Merry Christmas to all, but especially to the people of Brazil. I hope the summer is going well

To my father, thank you. To my mother, farewell. And to Tiny Tim, who did not die,

The house where linear algebrists slice each other to ribbons, call that the duel space

You're right, Gamer's Nexus Steve, power concedes nothing without a demand

Ender Lillies was good, but damn, when I see "soundtrack by Mili" I really expected more. Only 2 vocal tracks in the game, both right at the very end. And while the other tracks aren't bad, they're all very similar. A bunch of bosses, and every single one is a variation of Gwyn's plin plin plon

Oklahoma predicted communist Joe Biden

Thought this was the demon core

Notice how Trump and Republicans were having the worst couple weeks in the administration's history and they decided to pivot to hardcore attacking trans people?

The extreme attack on transgender youth we are witnessing from a governmental stage was enabled by The Atlantic and The New York Times.

the reason Frieren is so good and acclaimed isn't because of the high quality animation, or Frieren's smugness, or the charming characters, but because fundamentally it's a story about losing your parents--an almost universal experience that doesn't feature much in the anime-watcher's media diet

The wider political apparatus of the West and the US in particular is determined to declare trans existence an illegitimate way of being. If you can't bother to understand and empathise with a tiny, vilified, relentlessly attacked population in the face of that, what good are you?

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out. This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

We commissioned this over a year and a half ago when for some reason no game publication wanted to run it. Granted it took us forever to publish it but we'd like to do more of this. If you would are interested in seeing more writing on insert credit, both goofy and serious, give this a look/share!
