From my limited experience in it, it feels like the game industry is the tip of the spear for awful business practices. There’s a direct line between gamergate & J6

Wisdom y’all

Why stop at phrenology when you can add another old pseudoscience to justify racism.

This is NOT the Donald Jonniford Trump that was portrayed in those AI pictures! Fireman Trump woulda stepped into action!

They literally ruin everything they touch

There it is.

Tyrannosaurus Next

So it appears that the science of zoology has decided to say “screw it” were copying the Monster Manual now. #dnd #ttrpg oceanographicmagazine.com/news/carnivo...

Great way to put this

Ladytron's "I See Red" is such a needed breath of fresh air, they've lost nothing during their hiatus. youtu.be/72A9nFNhdOM?...

If you are in North Carolina, Virginia, or Arizona and you need food, go to this site. Feed a family will assist with instacarting groceries to your house. feed-a-family.org

Folks in California can opt out of data collection. You now can tell your browser once that you don't want to share your data and it will tell every website. We need this all over the country.

ABC news now gets to understand the Streisand Effect.

This matches my critiques about AI. It’s a browser that’s short-cutted its way to a MVP. It’s a browser that hasn’t done the hard work, it was birthed outside of a community, it’s a browser that asks “how do you do fellow browsers”. It’s designed for shareholders. h/t @not-a-robot.com

Happy birthday to Dr. Mae Jemison, the first Black woman to travel in space, who began her communications to #NASA with "Hailing frequencies open"—and guest starred in #StarTrekTNG's "Second Chances."

Ian's article clearly shows how assistive AI can be, far from the bedazzling hype that we too often hear. AI needs to be supervised, reviewed and checked. I mean, I've found trash bags hidden in a closet after asking my kids to "take out the trash" - AI cannot be trusted to do the implied tasks

I just introduced my 10 year old to Bambi meets Godzilla. He can’t stop giggling. - this call out approved by marv newland.

North Carolina still does not have a state budget:

If you hear the twins describe the event, mango the parrot broke out of the cage, found a knife and went on a murder spree

EA continues to be run by the worst people and deserves the highest level of boycott-ability www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/...

A frog found its way inside my gas fireplace - I can’t even understand HOW. So my 10 year old and I figured out to remove the glass pane, we caught it & took it to the nearby pond.

As a former airborne special operations soldier (USASOC) & veteran. Nothing made us laugh derisively more than some dude with soft hands and shiny shoes forcing a dog & pony show on us.

Found and almost purchased at my local art gallery

“Know, oh prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the Sons of Aryas, there was an Age undreamed of…”

This was truly excellent, and you can still go catch up on YouTube (with plenty of other talks) and it's never too late to send donations!

I grew up in a real, dangerous cult & cognitive dissonance was a feature of that experience. It's concerning that Gen AI is designed to quickly come up with an answer - and if that answer is different from what you know/ believe/ experience. Will that, at scale, influence cognitive dissonance?

Updating some Quarterly marketing plans while I’m waiting to watch my son’s first flight from one airport to another

After seeing the road lined with dead canaries, the Democrats plan is to “send more canaries”

I’ve never been so excited over a license plate!! It’s the “Acrocanthosaurus” The Terror of the Southern early Cretaceous, reaching around 38 ft/ 11.5 meters long and is one of the larger members of the Allosaurid family.

This is such good information, even Artist information would be helpful! h/t @johnmu.com

Mango meets Ash

Getting ready for the Nine Inch Nails concert tonight & Juno approves.

I grew up in CA and as a 7 year old, i remember that I thought it was cool that: 1: there was a dude named Jello 2: he was running for mayor This was my first political memory

enshittification | noun | when a digital platform is made worse for users, in order to increase profits

So long ya salty scoundrel. I'll miss you and I'll never forget that now matter how big of a mouth you had on ya, or how huge the knowledge in your brain was, your heart was double its size.

Realism is not doomerism. Doomerism is: “We’re all gonna die, Earth will die, nothing matters” etc. Realism is: “Even given maximum mitigation measures, we’re in for very rapid social, political, and ecological change, and we need to mentally prepare for it.” They are not the same.

White on white translucent black capes Back on the rack

The TV prequel to the Alien movies calls back to the best elements of those original films — including questions about corporate exploitation and technological advancements.

The perfect game

We were considering naming this lovely parrot “basil” because it’s green and sweet. After dumping the water bowl for the third time, I’m considering “goblin”

For the past 4 years, my (then) 6 year old befriended a bonded pair of crows. They’d watch him play and hop from house to house on our walk to the school bus. Last night, a young Quaker Parrot followed him home, no chip, no band. We’re fostering a parrot now

My twins are nearly scuba certified. I’ve decided to do that too.

Sheeeiiiiit. Literally 6 of my top twelve punk artists in a single picture.

Tina went to Ghana & brought back some espresso. It’s amazing. 🇬🇭

"sorry i was late for the meeting, a hummingbird got trapped in my house."

I need a quick SEO BS detection - a site that was never attached to google search console had pages added with shady black hat pages with links. That site is now out of commission, but still indexed by Google. Requesting a Google refresh search.google.com/search-conso... is the right move?

I think I've opened up, in my mind, the possibility of a good hell & a bad hell.
