I'm deadly serious with this. A huge reason we're in the mess we're in is because the media treats evidenced policy like housing the homeless and decriminalising drugs as absurd, outrageous nonsense, and "you can't even say blackboard any more because of woke" as serious and meaningful.

Prepare to face your fears...

No superhero death is ever as painful and tragic as watching a character who had been taken down a new, interesting narrative path get returned to their one-note state when a new writing team takes over.

If you have a "doubling of productivity" but your error rate also doubles - then it sounds like you haven't actually doubled productivity.

The red line was so delayed this morning my fat ass beat it on a bike

Post some pics of your favourite female video game characters for international women's day.

I land on the opposite side of this, and my dumb brain won't let go until I write too many words about it, but the short version is: the crossover should not be canonized.

careful! if you see a post claiming something that confirms your worries but doesn't link to the source do a 4 second web search to check if it's made up before spreading it into our eyeballs by reposting that. misinformation we agree with doesn't help our cause it weakens our case talking to others

No surprise, I love them

So if #DigimonLiberator really does get an anime, should they have Shoto and Yuuki share time as an A plot/B plot deal, or do a few episodes of one, then switch to the other? Either way I need animated Elizamon in my life

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

Is this whole McDonald's/Burger King CEO situation an example of the ever-elusive all-patty beef?

Got real lucky with the last egg I had from Go Tour this weekend

whoops

Not the shiny I expected to start Kalos tour with

I've become a fancy bitch

Let's say Zeztz is my first Kamen Rider and I'm really vibing with Code 5's "feral meathead" energy. Where do I go from here?

Civil rights are a kitchen-table issue.

I didn't know "duck-type trainer" was an option but I guess that's me?

Our basement is finally usable again Which means it's Time, Stranger

I wish I was taught this way of finding the greatest common factor when I was in school

I could never pull off this coat in real life, but the shirt would be pretty dope

The ea_spouse article is old enough to drink! ea-spouse.livejournal.com/274.html

This is an embarrassing own goal from PlayStation, genuinely a mismanagement issue. One of the most renowned remake/remaster studios, endless projects they could be put on, and... they were put on a (cancelled) God of War live service game, then closed down? A terrible waste.

What's extra enraging about this is that a 17,000-person performance art piece would be an incredible achievement, but instead it's a scam

What I will leave you with is what I tell myself to finally get going: You can't control what others do, but you can strive to do good wherever you can. Sustain yourself and help others to your capacity and in your own way. I hope your morning goes great!

I, too, may be continvoucly morged.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Wouldn't have been in the first 3 types I chose, but I'm not too mad about it www.quotev.com/quiz/1234335...

Absolutely incredible to get the "refusing to say 'racism is bad' is a bad answer" nudge mid-interview and still sit there catching flies

Thread of some services/software I'm using instead of various billionaire-owned surveillance/fascist/"A.i." trash products: For my newsletters, @buttondown.com. Does the job! Great customer service - usually get personalized responses within 24 hours. (Never gonna join Substack.)

Displaying Team USA Olympic figure skater Ilia Malnin on a CRT brings out a lot of the artist-intended details that get lost with pure pixels, this is why so many of us retain vintage hardware

Learning how to pay attention to small details, how to deliberately strain yourself to notice tiny details that are off, is a skill programmers learn the painful way. And, using a chatbot deskills you in this very extremely important skill of being able to pay attention to small details.

I miss Bloody Roar games.

Time again to share my Stock Art Artists starter pack (with focus on TTRPG). go.bsky.app/2khFm1H If you happen to fit the bill, let me know.

Trukk not munky They actually did it

I'm trying to give indie TTRPGs some love on Polygon but it's tough because they don't do the sort of traffic as D&D stories. But one of the best part of my job is talking to game developers about their passion for the hobby. Here's a piece on Nimble: www.polygon.com/nimble-dunge...

Kena sequel! Kena sequel! Kena sequel! youtu.be/12EQpTwn4lY?...

Incidentally, one nice thing about having values of your own is you spend a lot less time playing the game of improvising why the leader is right again. The stuff Zubrin says about the moon is 100% correct, even if I don't buy the Mars plan. And it's the stuff he's been saying for 30+ years.

My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse

the burden of proof is on the mother-fucker asserting something.

I understand why people are exhausted by alchemy hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "science" see pursuing the philosophers's stone as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.
