Rule 1) No nazis. It doesn't matter if they're upper- or lower-case "n"; they're out. It doesn't matter if they did a thing out of irony or conviction; they're out. Rule 2) Repeat Rule 1 forever.

A man who publicly was doing something which, when done wrong, can cause graft-vs-host disease, an autoimmune disease which can attack, among other things, your GI tract, now has an autoimmune disease which is attacking his GI tract. What a coincidence.

Patagonia shouldn’t sue Pattie Gonia They should create a new drag king Mark Infringement and have them go head to head in a battle

"These are not the opinions of the University of California Riverside however, they are the opinions of a highly volatile arachnologist" This was a hell of a fun read

This is a cat check point. Relinquish your most recent cat picture on your phone.

I eat hotdogs either naked or with cheese. The virtues of the proper Chicago dog are lost on me.

You know what I miss from most of the modern radio music I hear these days? The kind of extravagant musicianship that used to be easy to find - instrumental solos, guitarists whose fist I can pick out whoever they play with, that kind of thing. Who's doing that this days that I'm missing?

FOSTER NEEDED! Sweet gray lap-loving kitty guy Parker was struggling to survive on the Baltimore streets, injured and starving. Thanks to a kind person and our Street Kitty Fund, he’s doing much better, but needs a foster home! Help him get a second chance for happiness - contact us!

People look at my sketches and say "hey you're pretty good at that," not realizing that getting to "pretty good" involved art classes through AP Drawing and Painting and literally hundreds of hours of practice. I look mildly talented! I am not talented! I am a highly trained and experienced doodler.

"Live off the rain and the dirt" is one I'm hanging onto, thanks.

Right. Of course. Janelle Monáe can time travel. Incorporating that into my worldview.

I’m going to wheatpaste this article to telephone poles until everyone reads it

Going Medieval is coming out of Early Access tomorrow with a patch I am _super excited_ about. I really enjoyed the EA version but this looks _fantastic_.

I love these games because I'm pretty good at them :P www.keithcirkel.co.uk/whats-my-jnd...

FRIENDS. Registration for 2026 is OPEN! We can’t wait to see you!

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉

Slay the Spire 2 may be the first game I've bought the day it hit Early Access since something I worked on.

Accountant on one side, for the family junkyard business. The branch that owned it decided they wanted to keep the books in the family and sent him, a cousin, to college for the purpose. Car salesman on the other. Oldsmobiles, iirc. Never met either - they both died quite young of cancer.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

This is a great opportunity to recommend I Am Future, a survival game with this theme. It has a coziness slider!. You just want to potter around and dismantle things and not worry about the evil slugs that eat your lettuce at night? Coziness slider up!

I suppose I should tidy up those three terabyte drives and the seven-year-old nVidia card for sale, shouldn't I.

I want this to fund because I want to read it!

This is an interesting convo between @maxgladstone.bsky.social and @djangowexler.bsky.social about, among other things, the publishing industry, and it brings up an angle - the bestseller being a market correction - that is my personal explanation for the romantasy phenomenon. (1/2)

Today's beans

There are a couple I'd prefer not to (sardines, black licorice) and a couple more I probably wouldn't order (oysters, blue cheese) but my wife refers to me as a trash compactor with good reason. (This list avoids my actual weakness, bitter vegetables, quite thoroughly.)

Heh, this should be interesting. Day one: Final Fantasy. I rented it a few times before I scraped together enough quarters to buy it. It is 100% grooved into my brain, to the point that I play it in my head to fall asleep sometimes.

This was the basis of my (undoubtedly stoned) extended explanation to my long-suffering wife why baseball was the right game to make blaseball out of.

Floof.

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

We have had three herding dogs over the last ten years, all of which should have Had A Job, and yet two of them were Dipshits and one of them routinely Picked Fights With God.

My actual dad's favorite movie was Father of the Bride. Followed, iirc, by Dumb and Dumber. So, uh, this category is a little opaque to me.

Hey folks! Due to a series of unforeseen expenses, I need to raise some cash before royalty season rolls around at the beginning of April. Because of that, I am going to do something I don't usually do and offer paid mentoring sessions for aspiring writers.

Hot take: The "Phantom Tollbooth" characters King Azaz and his brother, the Mathemagician, are prefigured by two 9th century Byzantine intellectuals, Patriarch John VII, known as John the Grammarian, and his cousin, the archbishop of Thessalonica known as Leo the Mathematician.

I have fished my gross old tub overflow cover out of the trash because the new shiny one just doesn't seal right. Here's to vaguely unclean but deep-enough baths!

May the source of peace send peace to those who mourn, and justice to those who are bereaved.

The main damage I walked away from game dev with is that I enthusiastically read patch notes and roadmap posts about MMOs that I no longer play.

Happy #werewolfwednesday Going to need a lot of caffeine to get through today.

We are going to keep donating money for as long as you all keep buying jewelry. ... Viv has added more jewelry because you have been so generous in supporting our neighbors and friends in Minnesota. 😄 I'm really thrilled. Keep going, and we will too.

Viv has put all of her gorgeous jewelry shop on sale to raise funds for Minneapolis mutual aid. I will match whatever she raises. All the money will go to organizations listed at www.standwithminnesota.com. it's a small thing we can do to help a community we love, but it's a thing.

So many grand hopes for 2026. So few that I can put into words without violating Bluesky's community guidelines.

I would love to claim some bit of Arthuriana, or The Dark is Rising, or even Narnia, but honestly this was my very first love.
