Dang... Bloody Mary has my shipper's heart beating furiously. Just... Can one God-touched Cronenbergian monster Convict have a nice time with his new friends the autistic science teacher and his alien rock crab friend? #bloodymary #IronLung #ProjectHailMary

Internet Archive is doing some required maintenance/optimizing of data to make things run smoother on the back end. This is causing occasional spurious "unable to load metadata from item location". It does not mean the data is lost or gone. It's being worked on.

To the right-wing folks pointing to World Cup visitors gushing about the US as some kind of proof of how great things are: Of COURSE they’re enamored—they’re eating brisket & getting free soda refills They’re NOT having to start a GoFundMe because they got sick Thank you for coming to my TED talk

Akihiro Miwa is a legend. Fukasaku's Black Lizard and Black Rose Mansion are both incredible heaters, Miwa just devours every scene. Here's the scene where you get to see Miwa turn Yukio Mishima into a human statue. Best bond villain in history.

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

SpaceX IPO comes out on July 7th. If you have a 401k on the Nasdaq, you will not be able to avoid having your index buy up shares. Please consider withdrawal before the 7th, just to move it or hold it for a while because it's going to nuke wealth.

This. Too much of our current problems break down to "I trust this charismatic man to make things good for me" only for the guy to grift and rug-pull immediately.

Reposting because they still have a ways to go to meet the goal. This is horrifying bullshit on top of a lot of already horrifying bullshit.

Dang, they really do cover him the way JJJ covers Spider-Man.

Always happy to help pals out with their projects anyway I can. Ben asked if they could use this badge I made ages ago and I was happy to oblige. I even made some alternates and said use whichever they preferred. Check out the game and support/follow if you can 🤙💙

“How much is a magical world worth?” A beautiful thread about Cabo Verde, the Peace Corps, and the World Cup:

This is 100 men v 1 gorilla but better

if and when he does, we won't know for a little bit. Look to his closest allies. When they start moving their money, that's when you'll know he's dead. Watch their assets. When they move things in the middle of the night, it's go time.

Mexican animator Luis de la Rosa, known for his work on *Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse* and *My Little Pony: The Movie*, has tragically passed away in an accident while attending the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in France. He was in his 30s.

I hope everyone reading this has the best day possible. 💖

Just FYI @altNOAA is creating AI news articles, and defending them as "inspiration" rather than misinformation.

Wacom recently asked me to talk about why I make queer comics, and given there are multiple bills right now floating around in congress that are effectively "we will kill your livelihood if we get a sniff of queer" I had some pretty strong, simply feelings to relay.

i do not want the games industry to recover. i want something new to be built atop its now ashen foundation and i want those who previously brought ruin, rot, and misery to be outside looking in as they give up and seek some other well to poison

BREAKING: Alligator Alcatraz has officially closed. A lot of outlets won’t report on this, but the Miccosukee Tribe played a key role in the fight.

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

We gotta pack the court, this is untenable

Layoffs are bad for the industry, and anyone celebrating them is an unmitigated piece of shit.

oof sorry, unfollowing now. loved his unique take on religion. had no idea he refused to send troops to Tunip, though Tunip his city wept and its tears flowed and there was no grasping of its hand

They still have a frightening amount of power, there's still untold damage they can do, people they can harm, but it's nice to know that we've firmly entered the era where everyone but the most diehard fascists are done with their shit. Maybe building a better country will be possible after this.

I don't know what the ultimate fate of this stupid country I've been forced to exist within will be, but it is nice that a year ago it still felt like the fascists were unstoppable, while this year we're all watching with fascinating as a shallow pool of water continues to dunk on the president.

This is why they're mad at him. He's proving you can do it, if you make it a priority to fix, rather than a political tool to use against your opponents. Mamdani figured out a way to get and stay elected. Work on the visibly broken things first. Ignore rhetoric. Get people participating.

Everyone in the western world right now does not want ... THIS. Whatever it is. Whether churning 7 PM's in Britain in a decade or the anti-incumbancy wave that caught Harris and 12 other leaders, they don't want ... *how this world makes them feel.* 5/x

Addendum: for those asking "broom" is the colloquial for "remove" on set, like sweeping away. "Broom that light" or "broom that chair" or "broom that fucking extra who keeps looking down the barrel of the lens."

Hey fyi @gracklehq.com is run by one extremely good hearted guy, and it’s still the best site for games industry job listings. It has a patreon that he doesn’t advertise because he’s that selfless. You can support it on patreon and/or kofi

Between the insane console price hikes during a recession (I said it) where people can't even afford healthcare, and the jettisoning of talent and institutional knowledge in favor of AI slop and more zeroes on the shareholder paycheck, these industry "leaders" should leave. Devs are not the problem.

When I say I'm "running a small business" the "running" refers to the constant running from a steam roller of rules, regulations, fees, taxes and economic crises. I'm so tired, powerless and hopeless 🫠
