This is the kind of quirky, insightful, distinctly Oregon bit of whimsy that only @editorswindler.bsky.social can deliver.

"We're gonna need to do to these people what we did the Nazis!" - I begin to interject, but then realize the difference between "I don't think we're gonna get a lot of rocket scientists outta this group of hogs" and "They'll probably get jobs under a new Elon company named PRÆT0RYN" is very slight

Tilted to be the 666th backer 😈on @BackerKit Crowdfunding for Pinball Crawl Classics!! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/g...

back on Cohost, I made a diagram of my grand unified theory of 1986 pinball themes. We'll see most but not all of these across three episodes of 1986, and decide which of Raven, Motordome, Strange Science, or the obscure Spanish machine V.1, is the most 1986 pinball machine

LaGuardia has one as long as you have access to the private Chase Sapphire Reserve lounge

(booking travel after learning Bismark International Airport is the only airport with pinball machines in it) Direct is no good, ya got anything connecting through BIS?

Oh shit they finally came up with a socially beneficial use case

gotta find one of these and put it next to dune for an all desert themed pinball room imo

The Pinball Primer is a lightweight web page with strategy guides to hundreds of pinball machines, written almost entirely by @solar-espeon.bsky.social, and the site just turned 2 years old! pinballprimer.github.io

I love fantastic free things, and this is free on YouTube right now. What a treat of a film. For whatever reason, YT classifies it as risque enough that you have to go to YT directly to watch it which breaks the preview here, but this is the link: youtu.be/_0mZohWIz_w?...

Here's a sneak preview of a wild new arcade that is coming in January 2026. Located in the Pittsburg area, members of the Pittsburgh Arcade Collective have turned a beautiful retired church into a new Retro Arcade. www.facebook.com/profile.php?... #pinball #arcade #pittsburgh #retroarcade

The Pinball Primer (which includes 760 pinball strategy guides) is back online. The footer of each page now links to a page protesting the IFPA's refusal to enforce its inclusion policy, and their victim-blaming and silencing of trans players. pinballprimer.github.io

"babies are born worshipping unknown gods" is one of the most incredible dwarf fortress bugs i have heard of. its poetry.

I gave the IFPA my view of the trans-exclusionary OBX pinball tournament. I reject the notion that it's the responsibility of trans people to compromise with transphobia, and also reject that it's just a "women's issue". arborelia.net/ifpa-obx.html

Did you know? NIN stands for "Not In Network". Their gritty, industrial sound is meant to evoke the unsettling discomfort of contemplating "when & where might I get tragically injured in the upcoming year?" during open enrollment season.

Proud to share the full Big Trouble in Little China pinball playfield I drew the artwork for. I think this is the eighth playfield I've designed. The game was designed by Kyle Smet and debuted at Expo #pinball #pinballmachine #pinballlife #pinballmachines #bigtroubleinlittlechina

UW published a detailed report about where and how flock cameras are being used and abused by the feds and the reaction has been swift. also where the cameras are being accessed says a whole lot! jsis.washington.edu/humanrights/...

just started having recency bias and i love it. easily the best bias

This map is highly misleading. In the American electoral system, votes don't influence policy.

The 1977 Coleco Telstar Arcade answered the question, "What if a game console looked like a Wild West take on the TARDIS console?"

Perfect score, we fucken did it everybody

love this original vpin <3

if lowtax's ex-wife is saying you remind her of fucking lowtax maybe you should stop posting

I’ve been on Internet forums since 1998 or so and this is the most devastating post I have ever read.

Last night I published a mega-blog all about how I built my first life-size virtual pinball machine as a total n00b! It's a big bugger so put the kettle on and give it a read: blog.jam-factory.com/making-a-vir... #vpin #virtualpinball

Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale answers the burning questions all Downtonheads have had lingering in their minds for a while now: Does Mr Carson make Miss Hughes bust on the regular? No spoilers here folks but you won’t be disappointed.

Pinball used to be so big you could advertise it with two ladies in their dorm room doing nothing and looking bored and people would still play

Etsy witches surge pricing is gonna be insane

I’ve never wished harm on anyone, primarily because wishing is like manifesting and is a kind of magic only ladies can wield unfortunately.

Seven hours of “red zone” football starts now 😮‍💨

oh this is ominous. Not even the Cheap MIDI Jukebox is entirely safe from YouTube's algorithms. They can detect melodies. It's not affecting my videos now, but the copyright bots are informing me that they have noticed me

A little boy ran through the door of the museum yesterday with their mother chasing after them. She apologetically said they were walking by, he saw the games and just bolted in. She added on “He’s autistic”. I smiled, assured her it was fine and said “This is pinball. We’re familiar with Autism”.

My pinball dating sim is officially OUT! Pinball Crush is a chill cozy game with a silly dating sim progression system. Steam and Itchio links below! 💖 #pinball #datingsim #indiedev #indiegame #godot #pixelart #cozy #stream #itchio #arcade #cutesy

while calling it a table *does* undersell the many other functions that make up a pinball machine, *accepting* calling it a table means the lonely drafting table will no longer be the only other non-parallel-to-the-earth's-plane-surface-having-thing called a "table" and I think that's beautiful

I don't have many followers here, but...any suggestions for who could repair the mechanism on this beautiful old pinball machine? It belonged to my godfather, who recently died, and it brought joy to so many children (inc. me), and we want to repair it as a tribute to him. It is in SE London. 🙏

i find myself thinking about my friend will most days, these days. coming up on five years he's been gone southseattleemerald.org/opinion/2019...

I imagined the Chatsubo in 1984. 41 years later I opened its door. Neuromancer is in production.

Here is part of my round 1 bracket match (I'm anji) Lost 0-3 lol

Sure sure, you're doing Originalism, but you're doing it like a dumb baby. It's not *True Originalism* - wherein each part of the constitution only applies to states that were members when that bit was ratified.

don’t ask me to read the dissents, they don’t matter
