IT'S JUST LIKE NORMANDY

“The scheme provides unconditional, regular payments to eligible artists and creative workers, allowing them to focus on their practice without the pressure of commercial viability.” “A cost-benefit analysis by Alma Economics found that for every €1 invested, society receives €1.39 in return.”

You cancelled Game Pass when they raised the price I cancelled Game Pass when they shuttered Tango Gameworks We are not the same

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️ As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike. WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Late Night Thoughts... I want a small CRT again. A proper TV, not just a monitor (which I Still need to see if it still exists) that I can plug my consoles into & watch some TV on when I'm not playing stuff.

If this actually happens, I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate it. I'm 100% serious when I say that I will never accept one of these. I will hand this coin back to the cashier and ask for a paper bill or four quarters or even 100 damn pennies. I will NEVER keep a Trump coin. EVER.

🚨 New Kaiju Korral Alert! 🚨 “It’s the perfect summer day for a Kaiju snack with your Kaiju pals… or is it?” 🌭 This short was a blast to board and put together, be sure to stick around until the end cause a new friend (or foe) makes their debut 👀

If you're in Illinois and facing criminal charges from protesting ICE, or if you were attacked by ICE or law enforcement supporting them, I might be able to represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

Emergency Commissions Hey folks, i didn’t get paid enough by my school district, so i need a bit of help. My DMs are open if you’re interested. #commissions #mutualaid #artistsonbsky

I've been waiting for this Playdate update since before it was announced. Collection organization was the only real issue with it. youtu.be/B6xXKbdo7bw

After my dad died I’d skip class, grades dropped, detentions stacked, etc. I still drew but I didn’t care about anything. The principal called me into her office one day, figured I messed up again, but she just handed me a box of colored pencils and said “happy birthday”. NEVER forgot that.

Been thinking about them lately.

which borg ships go in the square hole

I'm replaying through the Dark Astoria storyline in #cityofheroes for the first time since Live and, like... I didn't appreciate how spot on the metaphor of Mot was for depression, guilt, and beating yourself up. (1/2)

COMIC: Fighting the Joker

Day 2 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders: 1. GOP controls government. They control what bills get voted on and the vote thresholds for each bill. Senate GOP can pass their bad funding bill today if they felt like it. 2. Dems are fighting to lower costs and save healthcare.

Look here if you can't find your reps! Call them, *especially* your red ones, and tell them trans healthcare will NOT be used as a bargaining chip to end the shutdown. Intimidation with numbers guys

really enjoying all the people trying to explain the bible to the pope today

So…some news…….!!

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable." All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.

Star Trek: Khan is soooo good. @davidmack.bsky.social and Kirsten Beyer have really outdone themselves and this cast is phenomenal! Honestly, its the best Star Trek we’ve gotten all year. youtu.be/VrDZ7x-6W5U?...

Last night I had someone in TF2 telling me that we should not accept furries because accepting them might make people think they were normal and the erosion of normalcy is a crisis and buddy we're playing TF2 stop hating furries, so many of em are great

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Okay so I used the government budget shutdown as an opportunity to call my senators and ask them to not support any anti-LGBTQ stuff that's packed inside it. A good call to make most of the time, but this felt like a good conversation starter, y'know?

This movie was rebroadcast EVERYWHERE until it very suddenly wasnt and anytime I’ve brought it up to anyone under a certain age they have no idea what im talking about lol It always flusters me because Flight of the Navigator was practically a staple as far as childhood movies go that passed me by.

mislaid my phone and couldn't find anything to read, so while eating toast and peanut butter for breakfast this morning i stared out the window with my hands folded in front of me like a complete psychopath

I ran out of money, and that bums me out because I wanted to buy ND Stevenson's new book and Red from OSP's new book and pre-order Griffin McElroy's upcoming CYOA book, maaaaaybe look into getting that Sonic racing game, but no, no, now all I have is useless groceries and gasoline #thetwoGs

Wanted to help this escape Reddit containment: Farscape is popular in prisons (and in my house.)

Trying to do a factory reset on a phone that doesn't have a working screen is a real way to learn patience, and then unlearn it again really quickly

I so badly want Ship of Heroes to do well. Concept wise, it's exactly what I would want in a MMOG. Entirely PvE with science-fiction and super-heroes put in a blender, and with some old fashioned MMOG sensibilities. The developers have been repeatedly making it difficult the past few months.

I hear *someone* is having a sale next week. I guess they have to try and recoup some of that $2.5 billion they’re forking over for *checks notes* being deceptive? Who would’ve thought? Feels like Oct 7 & 8 will be prime days to support independent bookstores. 😌

The Steam Autumn sale is here, which means one thing: I have to click through my Discovery Queue to get the limited time stickers, and then see what kind of games Steam's algorithm thinks will appeal to me. ...it has had some *wild* ideas in the past

CALL YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS. Seriously, all hands on deck, this is going nowhere good and is going to be a stain on our country forever. Call, please!

Every season of Taskmaster I think “I’m never gonna like this group of contestants as much as last seasons.” And then three episodes in I adore them all. Is this what Stockholm syndrome is?

#KnightsofGuinevere I told you

I think we should build more pyramids as a species.

Hey I just tried this robot boxing electro swing game on steam, it's fun youtu.be/Px6wP79rFpY

More workers were abducted today than pretty much any other single day over the course of the months-long federal occupation of Los Angeles. We are still under siege. There is no other choice but to organize and fight back. Look out for one another and defend your neighbors!

What character permanently altered your brain chemistry?

Like, the day Knights of Guinevere came out I couldn’t even sit still just bursting with creative brain energy to make stuff. Art is so good and I am so happy it exists and that people make things 😭😭😭😭

Yarr, time to return to return to Monkey Island. youtu.be/iWY8QUyUlu4

I kinda wish that real life dictatorships would chill out for a bit so that I could get back to having my personal fantasy of being a megalomaniacal dictator who rules all with a mithril fist without any associated guilt.

Someone needs to update the sign that says how many days it's been since our last rapture

So, I didn't notice it when it came out, but a video wherein I play the game Chance's Lucky Escape came out a couple days ago. I love clever adventure games, so this game hit a lot of the high notes for me. Still haven't finished it, but hey, I may have some free time soon... youtu.be/Elm92KNRG9g

Ok, we “saved” Jimmy Kimmel. Now can we bring that same energy to migrants, trans people, BIPOC and women? Or are we just reserving that for rich white guys?

My book came out yesterday!! Here are some links to buy it: lnk.to/ScarletMorning ☠️🩸
