I love browsing the web in the year of our luigi, 2026. I visit a page and get: cookie acceptance popover, popover to sign up for marketing emails for a minor discount, pop-up auto-play video ad, pop-up AI agent asking if I need help and which covers part of the page even when I dismiss the dialogue

Its difficult to put my my anger over this into words. The modern Backrooms was born from the collective effort of thousands. That collaboration, all that passion/time was freely given because it made people happy. Now its being monetized. Its exactly like Ai and the internet.

When journalists asked me "where we will see the effects of DOGE on outcomes?" one of my responses was "during crises...as long as media connect the dots." Well, dots connected: www.wired.com/story/cdc-cy...

CDs don’t make you listen to 10 minutes of gambling ads before playing 3 songs.

I repeat. Roblox is the worst thing that's happened to the video game industry.

Big muscles, impossible proportions, and a face so misshapen people complain about the art style being grotesque

“Anytime a company collects highly sensitive personal data, there are risks the data will be shared, breached, or later seized by the government,” EFF’s @mariotrujillo.bsky.social told @sfchronicle.com. “Companies should ask themselves, is violating everyone’s privacy worth it?”

Serial killers.

MERMAID MASK ON THURSDAY. I replayed Tangle Tower in preparation. I had forgotten a bunch, but still remembered the salient points, despite having only played it once, shortly after it came out. I think it might have been on a @caseyexplosion.bsky.social recommendation? I forget. It's been years.

I got banned from twitter in 2023 for this drawing. They called it "violent speech". It had over 40K likes and too many comments for me to read before my ban, but I still see it floating around here and there. Save a copy, and use it freely. No attribution needed. Love u #transdayofvisibility #tdov

ICE will continue murdering people until they are abolished.

They didn't leave Boston. They didn't leave New York City. They didn't even stop buying empty apartments and houses in New York City when those got an extra tax. They're not going to leave California.

over the course of my life i've heard many many people say "it's too bad hitler didn't find success as an artist, maybe this could have all been avoided" and rowling really gives the lie to that

this happened to me, and i feel like my response disappointed them

Whenever kids media has even the smallest amount of seriousness you get a lot of "WOAH this isn't for kids!" comments but the thing is, they are for kids you just don't respect kids enough.

What the heck

We have canceled our sponsored stream with SNK. We have heard the concerns from our community regarding this partnership, specifically the company’s majority ownership by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, and the human rights concerns tied to the Saudi government.

adding to this since i see this pop up a lot in my circles but they don't usually share the solution (there was on tumblr, but this ain't tumblr so). in case it helps anyone else too, the solution from the experiment that coined it was external help, sometimes multiple times

Metroid Fusion (repost)

If you want fewer illegal immigrants, maybe make legal immigration easier. What's that? I'm hearing they don't want that either. Curious. Makes me think it was never about the legality.

Also note: some ATProto clients natively support a Pronouns field, obviating the need to use a labeler! These include, but are not limited to, blacksky.community, witchsky.app, mu.social, tokimeki.blue, and klearsky.pages.dev.

the biggest positive story on climate is that it doesn’t seem to matter how much of the world is run by reactionary fascists: the rise of solar is unstoppable

How much does a pinball table cost? I may have just realized I have somewhere I could fit one

If ICE can kill anyone it wants with impunity, then none of us have any meaningful rights. It’s that simple.

Stop fucking using Twitter. This is what your supporting. Yes I know, I have friends, even close friends, who use it. Fucking stop. I literally think less of you and am disappointed in you. Have an ounce of self control and find a new place to find your comfort/engagement/whatever.

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

Dragon Ball Z is overrated

Stop calling gambling "prediction markets". Stop it. You're just helping normalize this shit. It's gambling.

I spoke to Mitch McConnell for twenty minutes this morning. He said "It is not by my hand that I am once again given flesh. I was brought here by humans who wish to pay me tribute.”

Behind every "solo dev success story" is usually a partner working 9-5 for years to pay the bills.

I'm just not convinced ghost guns are even an issue when the US is chock full of guns everywhere anyways. I literally know people that legally could not own guns, that were not inconvenienced by that fact, and managed to get some anyways. This is a solution in search of a problem.

That crunchtime is necessary. Its not necessary. It's worse than bad planning. It's outright mismanagement. Not crunching produces better work faster than crunching. Crunching produces bad work and extra bugs that waste time and make more bugs while getting fixed. A degenerative cycle.

game budgets in general. the monetary value of the video game has been warped by.. -15 yrs of firesale discounting -crowdfund numbers, often a drop in the bucket to net further investment -industry secrecy kept to maintain a lowball environment -libertarian cultures of online platforms like steam

...does muting hashtags not work on reskeets? Is bsky really that dysfunctional?
