Signal boost. Rent payments are due, and there are a lot of Minnesotans who haven't been able to leave their homes lately. Now is a good time to donate if you can.

The FDA recall list has 44 pages.

Okay, since I’m in a mood, do you know what is annoying mild *annoyance* about all this, rather than a gut-wrenching crisis? I’m not a Christian but my sense of fairness keeps requiring me to defend the church because people keep posting shit about “Why aren’t Christians speaking up?!”

Non-clumping litter! Just go for the cheap stuff. While you're at it, get some road salt for your sidewalks and outdoor walkways.

NO

oh it's going to be a Recession recession

Please understand this is happening in literally dozens of locations around the city simultaneously. If an ICE vehicle stops, community members materialize in seconds and do everything they can to stop the kidnappings. We are under siege and using every tool to fight back.

Several brands of pecorino romano have serious listeria risk, check yours

more generations need to discover M*A*S*H

It looks like it's time to make your final LJ backups.

I used to manage wine programs for movie theaters and I am in the extremely unique position to say with professional certainty that the answer here is a crisp Albariño.

The reason why older generations burnt the shit out of their meat and boiled the shit out of their vegetables, was your kid died if you didn't. Medium rare steaks and roasted Brussels sprouts are a side effect of an intact food safety infrastructure

Had to explain Ea-Nasir to my therapist

I genuinely don't know if this is a "Minnesotan" thing or an "old guy of a certain age" thing but in case it's Minnesotan and people need an anger translator: this guy is so angry he could just about set something on fire with his mind.

another awesome dwarf fortress post

At the shelter today, struggling with yet another unprofessional model. All I wanted her to do was show off her little shoes and I feel like that should not be too much to ask.

As the year comes to an end, I'm reposting some of the comics I made this year, including this ridiculous thing.

I'm at the Target boycott, I'm at the Starbucks boycott, I'm at the combination Target boycott and Starbucks boycott

IT IS TIME FOR BLUESKY RECIPE POSTING do you have a cheap, healthy, low-cost recipe? post it here! or quote tweet this post. or dunk on me for something I don't care just post easy meals that people can make right now.

Every year, all of the safety tips we see are aimed at trick-or-treaters behaving more safely around cars, and none of them seem to focus on how drivers should behave. What if we changed that messaging just a little? #halloween #halloween🎃 #halloweenparty #halloween2025

hiromu arakawa the woman that you are

I was pretty shocked when I saw this map earlier today. It’s great to donate to your local food bank, but it looks like people in New Mexico will be in the most desperate need when SNAP funds run out November 1. Wherever you live, if you’re looking for a food bank to give to, consider one in NM.

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport. Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably? But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

Pyaari is so decent 🥺

That moment when you finally accept the reality that your hobbies need at least one more storage bin. I ended up buying two just in case.

Sure everyone will post "tell me the name of God you fungal piece of shit" but let's not forget this banger

Today is the 30th anniversary of Freakazoid (hooray!) so I'm posting this memento from 1995. Ahh, for the dear, departed days at Warner TV Animation when the characters would gather in the courtyard at Termite Tower (AKA the Imperial Bank building) for their weekley Mallet Club beating, er..meeting.

Dick Grayson debuted as Robin in April 1940, became Nightwing July 1984, so June 2028 will mark the dickquinox, the exact point he was Robin and Nightwing for the same amount of time.

you just know somebody’s being called by their full name right now

I will *never* apologize for a post

So, obviously the whole Itchio / Visa / Mastercard thing is very bad, and I see a lot of calling campaigns kicking off, so I tried to put together a list of things that can move the needle at a call center. Do with this info what you will.

them: AI IS THE FUTURE. YOU MUST USE IT AS A WRITER OR BE LEFT BEHIND me: I got a new typewriter, it goes clack clack clack. Amazing I can still buy ribbons for it, cool, huh?

If you live in the UK, download a VPN right now. From the patterns of what's happened elsewhere, a lot of sites are going to just block the UK rather than accept the risk, and every country that's tried this protectionist bullshit so far has made VPNs illegal within a decade.

secrets of game UI designers they DON'T want you to know

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
