When a tourist is decapitated in Midtown during the annual Gridlock Alert fuckery by a reckless driver with a fake plate you can buy on Canal Street for $15 (that we have personally told the Mayor and NYPD Commish about!), you simply have to scream. buff.ly/N3XIvFs

Welp. I just got a recruitment ad for ICE during an ad-break on Spotify :[

We spent a great deal of effort physically calibrating every diagetic light in the movie (including the sun and sky). The image of the stretching cat that went viral when previews landed looked so good because we'd figured out that the OG SDR Pixar Sun was an order of magnitude too dim

Hey y’all, if you are using the setting to remind you to use alt text, you might want to check and make sure it’s still on. I know for a fact that it I had it on for me, but it seems to have turned itself off at some point.

doubtless you have already heard, but Bennett Foddy, Gabe Cuzzillo, and Maxi Boch's new game is out today and it's really good. store.steampowered.com/app/1281040/...

While I could stand to be generally more-optimistic, I never have any trouble believing/hoping that my n-piece nuggets has n+1, actually. Very rarely am I correct but I will never stop dreaming.

The iMac G3 is an icon, with the computer and monitor all in one box, and was the first popular computer not to just be a beige box. I not only rescued this one from the trash but also finally found a way to install a modern computer inside it! youtu.be/WoYBuP4Bxiw

I implore you: don't buy the FPGA system from the technofascist-aligned arms dealer; there are so many affordable options that will do the job just as well without supporting terrible people.

Even if you don’t normally mask remember that two major categories of people at pharmacies are 1. People with chronic health issues who may be immuno comprised and not be covered well by one-way masking 2. Sick people getting meds who didn’t mask up

Just had a 2nd lightswitch failure in my old house. These mfrs are literally crumbling due to old age. It's wild how time+heat+humidity+repeated small stresses will turn a solid (molded plastic) into crumbs. The first one I found a few months ago was so old it had a ceramic base.

For Charlie Kirk’s sake, we should all tone down the political rhetoric, right?

going from "transgender ideology" to "look at the poor misguided white kid" without even taking a breath, unconscionable

The lionization of Charlie Kirk genuinely proves the point about centrists and leading media figures. The man dehumanized women, minorities, transgendered people, Muslims, etc was building bridges by debating others on these views that all these people are less than human. What a great guy.

you do not debate a Nazi. I could tell you what you're supposed to do but it would get me banned on here, I'm guessing.

My main observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence and calling for calm while MAGA are escalating language and openly lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.

It's been a while since i retro computer-posted!! I did a little e-waste dumpster diving during lunch. I snagged a VG+ Lime Green Xbox One controller and was quite pleased with that find before spotting a lil briefcase-lookin thing near the pile in the back. Sure enough, I spotted a luggable PC!

There used to be an Xbox Live profile option where you could set invert y-axis to on and every game would automatically default to it being on. And now Microsoft is assisting in genocide. They’ve really taken a helluva shit huh?

CEOs are paid ~300x their typical worker. This isn't because execs are more valuable — they've gamed the system. Corporate stock buybacks, which artificially boost share prices, are on pace to hit record highs. Stock-based pay made up ~70% of CEO compensation. Hello?
