I’ve started a GoFundMe to help with my cancer battle gofund.me/6850175a3

The Ig Nobel is incredible , one year an Indian guy won it for calculating the average surface area of an elephant and during his acceptance they had an elephant hold up a sign with the surface area of the scientist on it, they do showbiz better than the Oscars

found this in my notes, good advice for aspiring devs

is this good

Becky is one of the all-time legends -- a master of her craft, a fount of knowledge on the industry, and an incredible positive role model for us trans folk to aspire to. She's had an incredibly rough go of it these last several years, and I urge you to consider supporting her in this time of need.

So much to mourn here. ICE shot and killed a single father just after he has dropped his two kids off at daycare. Their justification for stopping him was traffic violations form 12 years ago. Their justification for shooting him was that he was driving away. A completely needless tragedy.

I had to throw together this shitpost when thinking about how the people whining about Silent Hill f being "woke" would react if Silent Hill 3 were released for the first time today

So I'd like to show a demonstration of what this "waffles" thing is. Here's a conversation between *this site's* CEO, some random guy, and the cofounder of "Tangled", a GitHub clone built on top of Bluesky's protocol. Please take a moment to really think, about the shape of this thoughtlessness.

Turns out, 6 months was optimistic

action/platformer speedruns: yea we have to do 100 frame perfect tricks to clip through all these sections and it's all skill based and precise practice and speed old jrpg speedruns: WE HAVE TO TORTURE THE GAME BY RIPPING ITS SOUL OUT AND REPLACING IT WITH DR MARIO TO FORCE IT TO DO OUR BIDDING

yeah this is child abuse sorry

*Malenia takes to the sky. She has a sliver of health left. You’re infected with rot. Your finger hovers over the dodge button.* SUDDENLY:

oh its the thing everyone said was going to happen when this got brought in and it immediately happened

lol irl

The sad thing about the owners' contempt towards the userbase is that Bluesky is genuinely a far better Twitter alternative, from a user experience the lack of an algorithm that only seemed to push conflict and suppress people I was following is a staggering difference. You got a good thing here!

twitter is currently a frankenstein combination of 4chan and tumblr. we all know this. but bluesky is a different beast that i don't think people born after ~2004 fully grasp. bluesky is a frankenstein combination of tumblr and somethingawful

As the mod who tamed a big news site's notoriously annoying comment section that serially harassed many of the site's authors, it's 100 percent obvious that the problem here is the same problem I solved back then. A moderation team can't earn buy in from a community they're openly contemptuous of.

really funny to say this when a month ago you were banning people making charlie kirk jokes

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

No one, and I mean NO ONE, in Hollywood is talking about Tilly Norwood except over drinks for a chuckle. Actors are such an important part of the creative process - you want an actor who can surprise you every take, not one whose performance you dial up and down on a laptop. This is an ad campaign.

i looked at the methodology for this and it is a. sex addiction counseling group in texas did a surveymonkey and extrapolated the results to the entire us population which is the sort of research design that earns you an ff on an intro methods class (the extra f is for extra effort), and b. p-hacked

I'll say it again. Our horror at the Gaza genocide and at the atrocity in Manchester comes in both cases from the same, inherent part of our shared humanity. We need to assert that shared humanity in the face of both these evils as loudly as possible, and in as many practical ways as we can.

Duterte is in the Hague for this

It shouldn't be so refreshing to hear a politician saying it's wrong to conflate British Jews with the state of Israel but here we are.

ICYMI my post this week was about a platformer which had a Famicom release in 1987 with completely different characters and "Doki Doki" in its title. Yes, it's Monty on the Run: www.superchartisland.com/monty-on-the-run

Literally last week every MAGA idiot around was insisting, loudly, how terrible it was that the Biden admin pressured YouTube to remove COVID misinfo, even as YouTube said it ignored the pressure. Those same folks will either be silent or cheer this on:

lol @ play-asia getting fucked over by the reactionaries they've spent the last decade courting. couldn't have happened to a nicer company

Play-Asia about to go from giving Dead or Alive to reactionary gooners to being Dead by reactionary gooners a decade later.

People will yell about accessibility, but accessibility is a braille translation, not a book rewritten as if it was a simple english wikipedia entry. Sometimes the friction is needed to appreciate the art, and sometimes you have to build your fluency up to appreciate something. That's just culture!!

A rarely-seen-in-the-wild collective action solution. Not one news org signed on to the Pentagon’s new restrictions on journalists. Now, the policy is being ‘revised.’ Let’s see if any elite universities are watching…

Thinking about Difficulty more because I was popping off about it on stream tonight, but I keep going back and thinking to how people give like.. intro reading/watching/listening lists for subjects that are dense and hard to get into, so people can build literacy in various mediums and genres.

Seconding this post. Please keep calling and mailing. ESPECIALLY if you're in Germany. If Germany flips to opposed, with how the current shakeup is looking, chatcontrol is dead in the water once again.

your honor, I believe it was Hoobastank who first said, “I’m not a perfect person”

Shocker. The judge knows he'll be fired if he rules in favor of Mr. Abrego Garcia. The system is rigged.

look there’s a lot to side eye here but let me point to the 7 day work week + one of the founders claiming top 200 in NA LoL. which is it bro

I had to expunge my thoughts on Bluesky's current, uh, choppy waters into a proper blog post (which jay can't take down for being too mean or saying 'lol' in a threatening way) azhdarchid.com/delusions-of...

Normally this kind of tip would be overkill in a game like Final Fantasy Tactics, but there's one story battle where Ramza has to solo a boss, so you can't just muddle around with him. He needs to have at least SOME optimized damage and survival capabilities to get through that.

the cycle of history continues eternal

had a dream there was a new iidx song with the genre "APPLE CORE / CIDER TRANCE"

It's important to name the tools of authoritarianism so we can identify and condemn them with precision. I'm glad we now have a term for ICE's openly racist, degrading immigration arrests: Kavanaugh stops. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Reminder: these are real screen tones. That means applying the darker tone, from which they had to painstakingly cut every pill, then apply the lighter tone on one pill at a time (most of them with slightly different shapes), and finally gently scratching them individually to get the glow effect.
