The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

One of the reasons why I go so hard on science misinformation/disinformation, is that as a working scientist it is frustrating to see your research misreported to push an agenda. For example, consider this piece of right-wing propaganda from The Telegraph that was just published

Games I played and finished in 2025 in alphabetical order: Axiom Verge Elden Ring Horizon: Zero Dawn Observation Signalis Solar Ash The Stillness of the Wind The Uncertain: Last Quiet Day Also played a lot of the usual suspects. It was a good year in playing different games!

I love when unintended things happen in games that rally a community around the thing in silly ways, even from an outsider’s perspective. Here’s to the Lv 1 .

You may have visited Fight for the Future’s www.badinternetbills.com on a previous go-round of KOSA. One or two KOSA attempts ago, their phone call system wasn’t great. Having used it today, I can confirm that it is now AMAZING. It passed me to my two senators, and then to my house rep. Use it!

Steam Replay is out, got back into more gaming this year after kiddo was born last year. Been fun to finish some classics and play something new!

Ffffffffffffffffff--

@hirono.senate.gov Not happy to see your vote on this list. What gives?

Imagine that, something that actually works when given the proper resources and oversight.

As you may know, I have stopped using Twitter, and have decided to reproduce some of my more memorable threads here for posterity. Here’s one I hold wrote after a particularly engaging swordfighting lesson. Buckle up, swordfighting fans, because I *have* studied my Agrippa! [BIG ASS THREAD]

Ych slots! #ych #commissions #arcanemoon

And there it is.

I should probably do test 3d prints before printing 36 of something.

The problem with buying two cookies is that you don't have three cookies.

Against better judgement (the worms in my brain tell me no), I have decided to open up a redbubble page to show off and maybe sell my work. www.redbubble.com/people/NewVi...

I think Disney is in for a rude awakening if they think that feeding their IP into AI is going to be able to avoid anything bad happening with their IP.

This is your regular reminder to back up your data. Somewhere. Anywhere. If you only have one copy of your data on one device, you don't have backups.

I am brimming with holiday spirit

Wife is making Lebkuchen and taught kiddo how to pronounce it. Picked it up in 3 tries. I'm still in awe.

I may or may not be jamming to this silliness this morning. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGpX...

Probably because RAM prices just shot through the roof, retro tech isn't stuffed with AI or ads trying to sell you on crap, and we've hit a spot where slightly older tech is "good enough" for most things.

The number of times I have been asked “my screen won’t rotate on my phone it is stuck” and screen lock was turned on.

Thanks for folks who have looked at, passed on, or otherwise considered this! Things have been slowly but steadily selling. We're managing to de-clutter more around the house which is great.

New microSD card and reader are here, and everything is working fine with them. Other card is absolutely certainly dead-dead, so no more troubleshooting there. Time to get this one loaded into the OrangePi!

You know what's punk? Physical media. CDs, DVDs, BluRay, LPs, you name it. Once that physical media is in your hands, it is *yours*. Rip it, burn it, share it, do what you want with it.

It’s almost as if healthcare shouldn’t be for-profit. www.npr.org/2025/12/04/n...

It's a good start.

Actually slept until my alarm went off this morning for the first time in months.

Ugh I need like 250$ for my bills and then another 210 for new glasses.. Please consider hitting me up for my open commission spots! They’re half off right now 😭

Kiddo has “graduated” from the crib to a low-side-railing toddler bed. Going pretty well with it so far after a day of adjustment.

It’s really telling that the majority of social media sites don’t have an “it’s AI slop I don’t want to see it” option for reporting.

as a favor to the itch.io community i've added community copies to goblins with a fat ass

Well stated. www.jasonscheirer.com/weblog/vigne...

The way I've learned more about woodworking tricks from this channel than I have in the past 10 years. www.youtube.com/@YASUHIROTV

That inconvenience when you package and tape up something to mail, go to print the label, and there are instructions to put something printed with the label inside of the already packaged and taped box.

RIP to Tom Stoppard, who was a generational talent whose work never missed saying something incredibly important about the human condition.

Yea I’m eating cheesecake and pumpkin pie for lunch. I earned it.

btw y'all I do take commissions if you are needing a gift for someone or yourself, just DM or email [email protected]. I'll draw almost anything, humans humaniods, monsters, furry are preferred. (plus ya boy is looking at 7 bucks in their bank account for next month lmao) #commissions #art

I’m opening 3 full body and 3 bust commission slots 50% off for Black Friday/thanksgiving .. slots will stay open until Monday! So 125$ for full body and 40$ for busts! ( I really need to pay bills 😭🫠)

#SaveSpeech The call campaign is having an effect! The pressure right now is integral, if you are making calls, PLEASE KEEP CALLING. If you havent called yet or took a break, now is a GREAT time to hop on and add to the pressure!

Hey @discord.com ? I know my notifications are off for the mobile app. I set them that way. Stop prompting me to turn them back on.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Onward to Act 2 of Silksong, woo.

Important update: I have received word from insiders that Crunchyroll executives have deemed the user backlash to be small enough that their subtitle enshittification & OOONA plans will NOT be cancelled, only delayed. I have added an update to the article. There's a summary at the top now too.

We are living in the age in which the pursuit of all values other than money success fame glamour has either been discredited or destroyed

I really wish news stories that talked about votes in any legislative body (city, state, federal) would link to the dang bill/resolution/whatever or at least provide a bill number or name. Continually frustrated by having to dig for that info just based on the article contents.

This sums it up pretty well. Navigate to the settings and turn 'em off!

Oh look, Ed Case is at it again.

Having discussions and thinking about it, and I am not joking when I say that I think the maps for Shadow of the Wolf remain the best TTRPG maps I have ever seen bar none. I'm serious. Now, you might be thinking "oh what about X map artist" or "these OSR dungeons were cool". Stay with me on this.
