buddy,

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

another woobles pattern done. very cute, but also taught me that glow-in-the-dark yarn is kinda stiff and scratchy and unpleasant to work with

Asking the magic computer to tell VPs what they want to hear = promotions Data scientists are for when you want to kill features by running a month-long study, and they "hmm" for a week and then decree that your feature only increased DAU by 0.4% in an A/B test and is thus not good enough to launch

you're telling me that Golshi and Rice Shower aren't _already_ fighting game characters?!

It is so hard to review blatantly vibe-coded PRs that don’t work, and not get unprofessionally angry in the comments Like, some of yall need a good friend who’s not afraid to tell you “your code looks like Philomena Cunk Learns Java”

+1. I also sometimes feel like people don’t talk enough to their friends about what they’re reading/watching these days, or why. A lot of my favorites in recent years have come from friend recommendations, some of which were far out of my comfort zone at the time.

a few candidates have talked about this but any Dem planning to run in 2028 should make it explicit: the next DOJ will, in fact, go after you if you’re funding this awful ballroom, or any other pay to play deals you make with this administration

Does anyone want a survivorship bias shortbread

This is the whitest shit in all of Caucasiandom, this is whiter than raisins in the potato salad in Iowa

Oh my god, fuck that boss. (Chromatic Gault in Clair Obscur)

Are you fucking kidding me it’s like we are living in a cartoon

I adored this game!! it was the perfect way to unlock the competitive and collaborative spirit of nyc residents.. and imagining the citibikes were unlawfully acquired only added to the glee

Prefer crow/swallow friendship-based WonderSwan puzzle games? I've got you covered! kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2025/11/28/t...

defunctland videos are great because everyone in charge of disneyland for the past half century have been trying to carry out what they think walt would’ve wanted like they’re the patriots in MGS trying to carry out the boss’s will. coincidentally both involve giant robot dinosaurs

This was a very cute two-hour game, basically Potioncraft meets Chants of Sennarr. Decipher an apothecary's manual written in a foreign language and figure out how to cure people. store.steampowered.com/app/4083190/...

Man, I dunno how this little jankbot got Taranchula to write his theme song! Dark is the day, in-freakin-deed!

A package hasn't "shipped" if you've only "created the label"

I have a mighty need

Targeting Kelly is one of those “this is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is. There’s clearly no adult in the room to say “wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”

That's a new interesting version of "people gaming github submissions using AI:" take a public PR that hasn't been accepted yet, rewrite it using AI, and then accept the new PR, crediting a different author. Then use ChatGPT to write the apology to the original author! github.com/auth0/nextjs...

Oh, lovely, another round of "the war will pay for itself" and "we'll be greeted as liberators." It's 2003 all over again!

The RNG in Heretic's Fork finally aligned to give me a build capable of finishing Torment 5, for the 100% achievement. Cute semi-idler game to run on a second monitor while working! (But with some iffy balance; AFAICT, there's only a tiny handful of builds that can do Torment 3+.)

I wrote about the fake account blowup on X this weekend. A genuine post-truth nightmare and proof that these companies have polluted their platforms so thoroughly and traded reality for profit that they've undermined the very idea of what the internet is supposed to be.

wake up babe, defunctland dropped a new four-hour video

Ukrainian sumo wrestler Aonishiki, whose real name is Danylo Yavhusishyn, on Sunday became the first from his nation to win a tournament of the traditional Japanese sport.

instantly knew this was Nicole lol she ranks up there with The Mummy 1999 for awakening people

Kyushu 2025: Senshuraku tachiai.org/2025/11/23/k...

evergreen

Sanshō announced: OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE Aonishiki (his 1st) *if he gets yūshō FIGHTING SPIRIT Kirishima (3rd) Ichiyamamoto (2nd) *if they win today TECHNIQUE
Aonishiki (3rd) Yoshinofuji (2nd)

Even more CHAOS BASHO: Onosato is kyujo for Day 15. www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/... With Hoshoryu getting a fusen, that means the entire tournament hinges on the result of Aonishiki vs Kotozakura. #sumo

I was raised by herbalists, my parents met in Star Trek Club in high school, and I literally taste feelings & ideas. I was always destined to start the first fandom tea company & infuse witchcraft into custom teas that taste like people's fave memories, d&d characters, etc. So niche, so inevitable.

Always fascinated by coding. Started with BASIC on a ZX80, then a TI 99/4A, then learning C on a 286, and learning Z80 assembly so i could write games for a TI-85 running zShell. Then a 486 and Doom WADs. Then learning C++ for Quake modding, and Java applets to compute trade routes for WC:Privateer.

greatest show ever

This is a production. 10/10 😭😭😭 THE LEAVES 🍂 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Recent discussion about the perils of doors in gamedev reminded me of a bug caused by a door in a game you may have heard of called "Half Life 2". I wrote it up over on Mastodon (I find it's better at long threads): mastodon.gamedev.place/@TomF/115589...

fun math for everyone: now that the Xbox 360 is 20 years old, it's the same age that the NES was back in 2005
