This is a kind of epiphany that I kinda *felt* but never was able to put to words, and it is brilliant. When executives (and their marketing sycophants) say something, it's not because they believe it's *true*, it's what they *want* to happen.

I love bears 🐻🌿

my body seems to want to do a biphasic sleep thing these days (get extremely tired when the sun goes down, sleep for 3-4 hours, up for a while, sleep 3-4 hours). but the sun is going down before i'm done work at 5 which is... an issue.

I don't really fw the notion of time but I don't care if you do

Fake video games, vast settings and rule sets underlying games you can’t plug a controller into and play, can be just as rich and rewarding as real games — sometimes more so. @eyepatchwolf.bsky.social, who just wrote a book about them, explains:

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

I really love @papapishu.bsky.social 's piece about Horses because I generally think talking about a game that has cinematic influences means that those things come into conversation as part of the breakdown aftermath.site/horses-indie...

Your pals in Weaklung have new shirts for sale this #bandcampfriday. Please enjoy our bootleg Itchy design. Printed locally here in Chicago. S-XL They will start shipping next week weaklungband.bandcamp.com

Can all the folk who just got reminded that they’ve listened to a tonne of music on streaming this year, have a look at the music they heard and buy some on bandcamp today? 🫡🙏🏼

People need to boycott this show and not just half ass. Shame everyone who plans on watching it. This isn't about Eurovision, it's about Israel getting away with committing genocide because THERE ARE NEVER ANY CONSEQUENCES. They should be untouchable by now. Everybody needs to walk the fucking walk.

stop trying to show me my year in review. what i did the past year is none of my business.

He was central to so much, but I'll remember him as a breathtaking part of one of the most stunning instrumental group performances ever recorded. RIP Steve Cropper.

And that inch was a completely unnecessary one, even if we want to be gentle with cis people who don't know any better Trans women in sports? Puberty blockers? Trans people using restrooms? These were all SOLVED ISSUES THAT WERE FINE FOR DECADES. They didn't need to be picked at. It JUST harmed us.

the hater's council just vetoed this actually. "a real hater hates attention seekers by ignoring them" wise words from one hater elder. "hate reading is for homework dorks" said another senior hater on condition of anonymity as this statement was a compound diss targeting other council members

having seen John play Shenmue 3 on stream before and the immense suffering it causes, I cannot wait for this

I think it’s fine if everyone who wants them gets accommodations. Can’t think of a single service, up to and including support staff or financial assistance I would be begrudge anyone if they actually use it.

I've been an Aarktica fan for years, and this is one of his best (especially if you also consider the ones where he's singing to be highlights)

Think there’s been a shift in how year end lists are presented over time “Everyone knows the best stuff, let’s remind you” “Normies don’t get it but you and I know better, dear readers” “Our readers don’t get it, luckily we’re here for them” “Here’s the best fish we caught but it’s a big ocean”

Gibby Haynes was roomates with Timothy Leary and was a guinea pig for his psychedelic experiments, hope this helps!

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

It really is precisely the inverse of how much work you actually are doing

i’ve been laughing at my own joke for 6 minutes so far

Imagine if they just subsidized newspapers and magazines the way they’re subsidizing this slop

I was talking to a retail worker who is working this weekend and they have double the work but no additional seasonal staff and aren’t getting paid extra. Anyone who thinks sw is exploitative should talk to people who have to work at jobs like this. Btw it’s legal for their employers to do this :|

oh, should we tell everyone? should we throw a party and stream it? will mr. beast and the ceo of salesforce be there

OH SNAP Tom's full read-through/analysis of 2000AD has returned! Really interesting stuff for a non-British dude like me who only knows some of this stuff by reputation (and much of it not at all!)

sometimes i wonder what my cat thinks about clothes

If you see all the Gemini commercials showing examples of how it "helps" with work, it is people going "oh shit I forgot about this presentation/report, Gemini! Make it for me real quick!" And that undoubtedly error fueled mess would get an employee fired but an executive can just shrug it off fine

the 3 eggs of Comfort

“How immortal would you have to be to get round to watching this?” is the kind of question that kept medieval theologians busy for decades

I just... look we're... we're talking about the horse girl anime and Riverdale. This one was a lot. youtu.be/6_Qhkhk_yio?...

This interview with Any Lucia Belloza is heartbreaking but everyone should read it. These are the lives our country is destroying. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...

1/ Mark Carney has betrayed all of us by making a pipeline pact with Danielle Smith. A real nation-building project would expand the renewable energy of the future while creating thousands of jobs - powerlines not pipelines.

I wish it didn’t feel so unusual and inspiring to see a leader treating everyone like they matter and saying that we have a responsibility to help each other

"friction gives life meaning" hell yeah let's go

Truth Coming Out of Her Well to Shame Mankind

Please look at this. *Really* look at it. And realise that even if you do insist there are issues with the data, or try to "Ah, but ~of course~ NPC soldiers should be men!" it away, any result that even vaguely resembles this chart should still be considered shameful. This is 30+ years of stories.

I'll take it

Regret to report that there has been another good linkedin post

taking the dundas streetcar home, why not drop by the AGO and hang out with the Rothko a bit?

Buddy from grad school knew someone was hiring for editing jobs and valued people having an MA or more; turns out I'm both good at it and like it. Bottom hasn't fallen out yet.

I am hearing that after meeting Mamdani, Trump received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the rose gardens of the white house. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!

Really enjoyed this one (and again, listen to her new album Unfolding, it's great).

really wishing i had a Demon Arm that did Dark damage and applied Bleed buildup right now

Really excellent point that often gets lost in the (deserved) mockery. These things are not neutral arbiters of truth. They are easily manipulated extensions of the ideology of their creators. The attempt to shove them into every conceivable knowledge space is an explicitly political project.

COYOTE’s service journalism will always be free to read, including today’s guide to helping someone who might be overdosing.

and so many of its bits are still *painfully* relevant today for example, here is every single AI grifter's pitch today:
